Chapter 44
I wake up to an echo in my head from a dream I was having. It wasn't a bad dream. My mother was braiding my hair and I was a small child, but it wasn't me. It was me, but I was watching it happen. She hummed a soft tune as she braided my hair, then turned to the adult me, the me that was watching it happen and her face fell. Tears filled her eyes and she just whispered the word 'run'.
"Run…" I whisper more to myself.
Jasper was out getting blood for Bella and I with some of the family. I've only had to drink a cup so far, but Bella drinks it like an alcoholic drinks alcohol. The blood wasn't a bad of a taste as I thought it would have been. I still would prefer drinking orange juice after brushing my teeth, but still.
I rolled my pregnant ass over to my other side and kicked my feet at the nice tingly feeling I get when I roll into a new position. I frowned when my eyes landed on a face looking inside from the window. Red eyes glowed.
Squinting, because my glasses weren't on my face, I tried to make out if it was something. Reaching over, I grabbed my glasses and put them on.
My heart dropped when I saw who it was. It couldn't be. No. Nope. Every fiber of my being denied what my eyes were seeing. I couldn't make a noise, I never could whenever he had that look in his eyes.
My eyes blurred my vision with tears and my breathing became shallow. Goosebumps appeared on my skin and the cold air brushed against my moist eyes, making me blink and causing the tears to run down my cheek. Taste of bile rose in my mouth. I felt like throwing up, but nothing was there. The thumping of my heart increases painfully harder and faster, but I still couldn't move.
What caused me to break from the terrified spell I was under was my little cowboy in my belly. I'm not for sure if it was a boy or girl, but I had a feeling it was a boy. The nudge from the inside of my belly snapped me out and I started to scream in panic. I didn't care what happened to me. It was the rush of thoughts that came to my mind.
What he would do to my baby.
Jake and Alice were the first ones to run into my room. Alice held me close and tried to calm me down.
Jake must have followed my eyes, because he went straight to the window and looked out of it. There was nothing. There was no one.
I could hear a faint sound of a cellphone being called. Alice was speaking quickly and that's when I saw Esme in front of my face. Her mouth was moving, but I heard nothing from her. The sound of my pounding heart and the rush of my blood was overpowering my sense.
Mentally I was around. Mentally I could tell that I needed to snap out of it. I yelled at myself in my mind that I needed to stop crying. I don't think I was yelling anymore, just only sobbing. My eyes never left the direction of the window though.
How could I look away from the spot where I finally saw my father after all these years of not seeing him?
