Bella
I have to hand it to Dr. Carlisle Cullen and his professionalism.
He gets to work, ordering x-rays and pain meds after taking a look at my foot.
Four hours and a few emotionally charged tears that make everyone uncomfortable and I'm released with a giant walking cast and a follow-up appointment with one of his colleagues.
Apparently, the friendship breakup includes our parents.
Dad helps me up the stairs and brushes my too long bangs out of my eyes.
"You okay, kid?"
"I will be when I graduate and get as far away from this place as I can," I mutter.
I immediately regret my words when my dad's mustache twitches, and his eyes fill with tears.
"I didn't mean it like that, Dad. I'm sorry." I fall back on my bed. "I can't seem to get anything right lately."
He tells me that it's okay, but I can see that it's not.
