You guys are all amazing! Thanks for the reviews! So, during math today, I got an idea for where I wanted the story to go, so I tuned out my teacher and wrote it down (don't worry mom, I knew all the stuff she was talking about and had already finished the homework). So, here you go, this is one of my fastest updates, so love me :)
I'm in a good mood too, cause I'm listening to Britney Spear's Circus, if you haven't heard it, it's surprisingly good, I would listen.
I don't own any of the characters, they belong to Stephenie Meyers, I only own the plot and Dave (he's coming up).
Everything was amazing, minus the baby-exhaustion, but we were learning how to cope. We did our homework together, I would go home to eat with Charlie, go back to their house, we would watch a movie or play a game, then go to bed, and get up multiple times throughout the night to care for our little not-darling.
This routine continued daily with fun, enjoyable weekends. As I sat, thinking about the events of the past two weeks, my phone rang, interrupting my thoughts.
"Hello?"
"Hi Bella, this is Dave, one of the other officers who works with Charlie."
"Oh, hi, how are you?"
"Alright, anyways, I was wondering if Charlie was home sick or something, he didn't show up for work and he didn't call in."
"I don't know, I haven't seen him today, did you try calling?"
"Yeah, but no one answered, I found your cell phone number at his desk."
"Okay, well, I'll check on him after school and let you know, maybe he wasn't feeling well and fell asleep before calling you."
"I figured as much, well call me when you find out."
"Will do, thanks Dave."
"No problem, talk to you soon."
"Bye."
Poor Charlie, he rarely skipped work, he really must not be feeling well. I thought back to the last night, he had said his stomach didn't feel all that amazing, but he ate the normal amount. He must have had the flu and did not know.
I turned to Edward, "hey Edward, mind if we stop by my place before going to your house, Charlie didn't show up at work and I want to check on him."
"No problem, do you think he's okay?"
"Yeah, I'm sure he's fine, he's probably just sick and taking it easy."
We headed off to our psychology class. We were all sleep-deprived, but we had developed a new way of working through the exhaustion, it was an interesting experience.
We were exhausted, but could still function, the first few days were definitely the worst, but our bodies learned how to cope so that we could behave almost normally. Everyone was still happy the project was almost over.
There was only one slight thing I wasn't so sure about. Once the project was over, I would have no reason to stay at Edward's house, but I really enjoyed it. We all had such a great time together and I had fallen into the routine that we had developed. It was all very enjoyable and I didn't want to return to my old way of living my day-to-day life.
I wouldn't worry about it for now, I still had one more week, then I would figure it all out. Even if I was no longer living in his house, I knew we would still hang out. I had become really close friends with both him and Alice in such a short time, it was incredible.
I felt so much closer to them than I ever had with the rest of the people from this town who I had grown up with. Speaking of them, they were so highly jealous of me, they would love to be in my shoes.
Flashback:
Jessica came up to me.
"So Bella, I heard you were spending a lot of time with Edward."
"Yes Jessica, we have a psychology project together, remember." No need to rub it in that our friendship really was not based on the project.
"Well, yeah, I guess, but still, do you want to introduce me to him?"
"If you want to, I can." This was going to be comical, she had such an obsessively-crazy crush on him.
"Come on, he's over here."
"Right now?!? I need to beautify myself!"
"Well, we are both here, there's no better time than now."
"Alright fine, do I look okay?"
"Of course, come on now."
We walked over and I introduced Edward to Jessica. His eyes grew wider as she babbled on and on and I had a lot of trouble keeping a straight face, finally, I had to excuse myself when she made a comment about the "massiveness of his big muscles." Afterwards, Edward and I laughed for ages.
The next day, Jessica asked Edward if he would go out with her. He politely turned her down, to my glee, but only for a friendly interest for him, of course. She didn't hang out with us anymore.
End of flashback.
School ended and I met Edward by his Volvo. We drove at his insanely fast pace to my house and arrived there in mere minutes. Thankfully, he agreed to slow his pace a little as we arrived, just in case Charlie was watching.
I walked into the house.
"Charlie? Are you feeling okay?"
He didn't respond, he must be sleeping. I stopped in the kitchen, looked for a note and saw a can of chicken noodle soup on the counter with a note,
"Bella, I'm still not feeling well, would you mind making me a bowl of chicken noodle soup?"
Poor Charlie. I started on the chicken noodle soup. Edward had come in and we were talking as I cooked it. He was fascinated by the cooking, he never had to cook for himself, servants always did it, so this was a new experience for him.
I had him help me with the cooking and we made it together. When it was all done and hot, I left it with Edward and went to see if Charlie wanted to come down and eat it.
I opened his door and saw him lying in the bed with the blinds drawn, the poor guy, he must have really been feeling bad. I walked up to him…
"Charlie?"
Suddenly, there were loud screams and everything went black…
Ooo… a cliffie. I'll try to update soon so you aren't left in suspense. I am curious to hear your theories as to what's going on. It seems really obvious to me, but I know what's going on, so I'd love to know if it's that obvious to everyone else.
Review please, I love to hear what you think!
