*Chapter Three - Take Care*
Bella POV
Waking up the next day I'm still so tired I look at my clock and notice it's 6 in the afternoon, I try to move but my body's numb and I can't feel anything I hear my dad talking to someone down stairs, then I heard 2 pairs of heavy foot steps, I'm surprised when someone knocks on my door
"Bella? Can I come in?"
I don't know that voice it sounds too...deep compared to Edwards velvet like voice.
Edward.
Gone.
Pain.
My body suddenly found a motive to move. I get up and open the door to see 2 copper toned men standing there, one I immediately recognize as Jacob. I look at their faces when they both look into my eyes, they gasp
"Bella?" they questioned.
'I know what my name is asshole' A voice says in the back of my head
"what do you guys want?" I ask with no emotion found in my voice
"We were w-wondering if you wanted to hang with us" the man I now remembered as Embry said.
I look at them, and just as I'm about to decline Charlie came up the stairs.
"That's a great idea, have fun Bella"
I glare at him as if my eyes can make him burst into flames. Turning around I closed my door and changed my clothes. I pack my razor in tissue paper and stuff it in my pocket.
Walking down the stairs I realized they were waiting by the door. Without looking I walked out the front door to Jacobs Rabbit and climbed in the back seat realizing my iPod was in my pocket I reached in and pressed play.
I see nothing in your eyes, and the more I see the less I like.
Is it over yet, in my head?
I know nothing of your kind, and I won't reveal your evil mind.
Is it over yet? I can't win.
So sacrifice yourself, and let me have what's left.
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes.
I'm going all the way, get away, please.
You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
'cause I will be the death of you.
This will be all over soon.
Pour salt into the open wound.
I didn't realize I was singing until l looked up and saw Jacob and his friend were staring at me in awe
"What?" I ask self-consciously
They both looked at me but Embry spoke first,
"Wow, uhm you sound amazing, uh what song is that?"
Shocked by his answer I stuttered out
"B-Breath by Breaking Benjamin"
They both make weird faces toward each other, shrug and got out the car and walked towards a white house, just then i realized we have reached whatever hell hole I was being tortured into being at.
I follow in suit and walk through the house door to see Jacob and Embry play fighting with the youngest Clearwater, Seth.
"Hey Bella, what's up?"
I barely heard him over my music but I looked at him and all happiness drained from his face. He was about to say something before his sister, Leah walked down the stairs and looked between me and Seth, withering under her stare I walked back out the door and started walking down the street singing my song
You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
'cause I will be the death of you.
I'm waiting, I'm praying, realize, start hating.
You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
'cause I will be the death of you.
I didn't realize Leah was next to me, I took out my headphones and realized Leah was singing with tears in her eyes.
"Do you wanna walk with me?" Leah asks quietly
I nodded and started walking a route I remembered as a kid. We ended up on the cliffs. She pulls out a lighter and what looks like a cigarette. I stared at her.
"You smoke?" she asks me
I shake my head no but still stare.
"How do you get through?" shes asked
My breath hitched, how did she know? Is it noticeable?
"The look in your eyes, it's the same look I see in the mirror everyday, cold, broken, alone...I understand" she whispers.
Felling like I can open up to her I roll up my sleeves and show her my cuts. She looks at them, then my face and holds out her hand
"Give it to me" she demands
I panic, she knows, she's gonna take it from me before I realized what I'm doing I shake my head no and try to stand up to walk away.
She grabs my arm and pulls me back down. I look into her eyes and see the one rich brown of her eyes are now almost black.
"Give. It. To. Me" she says deathly slow.
I try to yank my hand free but she has an iron grip. I reach into my pocket reluctantly handing her my wrapped up razor. She let's go of my arm, walks towards the cliff and throws it into the water. She walks back towards me
"That doesn't help, it makes it worse, and because of it, you are now my new best friend" she says in a matter of fact tone
Then she does something I'd never expect, she hugged me and whispered in my ear
"We're gonna take care of each other"
The way she says it makes me have no choice but to believe her. Today is the first day of our new life.
