Chapter 23: Chapter 20
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, I only own my original characters and the plot. Now the plot that I got from the book isn't mine and I don't plan to use any of it!
A/N: I know this is super short, but I just wanted to try and get something out to you. Let me know what you think and I'll get started on the next chapter guys.
Chapter 22
~Carlisle POV~
Adeline laided back on the bed with a frown, looking down at the hands in her lap, her expression told me that she was trying to remember. Slowly she started to speak.
"I don't remember much to be honest." she sighed, tilting her head back to look at the ceiling. "I remember Port Angeles and meeting back up with Jessica and Lauren but after that nothing." she raised her head, her eyes meeting my gaze, "What happened? What don't I remember?"
I leaned forward and took her hand in mine as I answered her, "You were in an accident," I explained, holding in my anger, "It's been a week since it happened."
She nodded at my words as if she was starting to remember. "Lauren and Jessica?" she asked, her voice breaking. It made my chest hurt to hear such a sound coming from her, but I knew that at this moment that there was nothing I could do to help her. All I could do was prevent such an occurrence from ever happening again.
"They are being dealt with soon, I promise they will not get away with what they did to you, Adeline." I soothed, not wanting her to concern herself with them at the moment. The truth was, nothing was done about what had happened to Adeline just yet. Both girls claimed it was a freak accident and that no harm was meant. For now they got to continue on with their lives but that would not be the case for much longer. No…I am not a violent man by nature but in this case…..I will take the law into my own hands if I must.
~Adeline~
I was waiting for Carlisle to get back from getting me something to eat. I tried to sit up and get comfortable but that just caused me more pain. I sighed and stared up at the ceiling lost in my own thoughts which brought a smile to my face. 'Carlisle was here with me. And probably has been more than my own parents.' The idea made me happy as it was so touching that he was willing to spend so much of his time here. But my happiness was short lived as the incident with Jessica and Lauren flashed through my mind.
How anyone could purposely push another into traffic was beyond me. I knew that Lauren was messed up but even I didn't think she was that crazy. Carlisle told me not to worry about what happened to them, but I can't help but wonder if they were actually being punished….or if they got off scott free…. I felt nauseous at the idea.
I looked over at the door at the sound of the door opening and smiled at Carlisle. Her walked over and sat a tray of food in front of me. "Thank you." I said as I unwrapped that sandwich from the saran wrap. Carlisle sat back in the chair beside my bed.
"It was no problem, Adeline." he said with a smile. "Eat you need to get something into you."
I nodded and took a bite. in between bites of my sandwich I asked Carlisle what was going to happen. "Well, we are going to get you back home as soon as we can, of course. I can monitor your progress myself from home, so there is really no reason to keep you here more than absolutely necessary."
I nodded in response, "What about school? I can still go, right?" I asked as I looked at him. I know most people wouldn't be thinking about school so soon after waking up in a hospital. But I didn't want to fall behind if I could help it, besides I felt well enough, despite the pain.
Carlisle steepled his fingers and nodded solemnly, "Technically you could, but I would advise against it for now. Not only is your leg broken pretty bad, but you also have broken ribs." Carlisle leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees, "I think it would be best to wait a little, Adeline. Let your body adjust and heal. You have been through a lot, Adeline. School will still be there, and if you're that worried about it, I am sure Rosalie or Jasper would be more than happy to help you stay caught up in your classes." Carlisle explained.
I sighed but nodded in agreement as I picked up the jello. Jello was the one thing that was always edible in a hospital. It was like it was their specialty. I really wanted to go back to school, at least then I could pretend everything was normal, but Carlisle was right as always.
A/N: okay thats a wrap. I admit that im not overly happy with this chapter but it is mostly filler and I wanted to get something to you guys, Next chapter Adeline comes home. Honestly Im trying to figure out how quickly things should move along between Adeline and Carlisle and how soon they should get together. Any thoughts? Should Carlisle finally tell Adeline how he feels? Should Adeline? How will it happen? These are all the questions going through my head at the moment.
