A day went by and it was as if I was never sick, but I felt it… rotting… that's what I felt.
I felt disgusting and I didn't know why… but I played it off. Emily seemed to buy it, since after all the doctors didn't know what happened to me so it just could have been me being 'tired'
We thought it would be a good idea to go out but of course, I had to find out about Bella, that she was in the hospital
From falling from a staircase
Yes
Very believable
Pfft
And unfortunately, I had no ride so, yup. I just had to sit back and worry. Worry that she would be in a critical state and relax because that also means she isn't a vampire…
So now here I was at home, alone.
I thought back to when Paul made an appearance. After a two rest, Em and I decided to have lunch elsewhere, that's when Paul showed up from his 'shift'
He looked… tired, worn out. But still managed to put on a warm comforting smile.
"IM BACK!" he announced. I could help but feel the grin plastered on my face. I just ran up and hugged him, I may have tried to squeeze the life out of him but failed because oh my god! He is so… bulk… I swear he is on steroids but id never say that out loud. I'm sure it's just a Quileute thing. Anyways he ended up squeezing the life out of me. And man, my bones still ache.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much" I whispered over and over again. God, I must have sounded so pathetic but at that moment the overwhelming gratitude… I just had to show it, even in a small way.
He came…
When I needed someone… and that was enough… enough for me to forever be thankful, he was someone who I knew was going to be and is very very close to my heart. It was also at that moment that I realized how much I look up to him as a big brother figure and yes… it hasn't been so long since we met but I felt that deep connection. It was there though it was still not understandable.
"What are you thanking me for? Forget it, how are you sis?" sis… happiness spread through me.
"I've never been better" I answered. But before he could answer, his stomach interrupted him. He burst into an awkward laugh.
"Em, I think Paul is really hungry and we should probably all go to the restaurant now," I said and heard Emily laugh.
"You got it" she answered.
"Come on Paul, let's get outta here, I'm starving too" I spoke gently tapping his shoulder.
We were out having lunch. Until I suddenly remembered Charlie.
How dumb am I? I totally forgot about him! Especially at such a needed time! Ughhhhhhh DANIELLA! YOU IDIOT! I scolded myself
"Damn it, I forgot about Charlie, where is he?" I asked Em and Paul. They shared a look.
"Right, we forgot to tell you… Charlie… he's in Phoenix, Arizona" what? What's he-?
"Bella got into an accident-" they went on to explain why he didn't pick me up and why he is MIA and most importantly what happened to Bella.
But
I happened to remember what really happen.
I remembered how I saw through Edward's eyes. At that moment it shocked me. How powerful am I? how dangerous am I? and why out of everyone? Why at that moment did I see? How was I able to help? So many questions flooded. Needless to say, the car journey was quiet while I tried collecting my very scattered thoughts but eventually, I got my shit together and had fun with them.
I enjoyed.
But once we got home, an uneasy feeling settled. I was gonna be alone again.
I couldn't keep Emily; I couldn't keep Paul… This was a problem. I needed to get over it. But how? How can I get over it when the same thing keeps on happening? Every single time! I get someone close to me, and even for a short period of time they always leave! I'M ALWAYS ALONE. And I couldn't tell anyone
I couldn't be selfish
I should be grateful
This was my life from the start, so why? Why do I crave more? Why do I even try? What will it take for me to stop? Whirlwinds of thoughts just echoed till they waved goodbye and requested me to take care of myself…
I felt alone in my world. I didn't know who I was, what I was…
I didn't know who would stay…
I didn't know how long it would take till they realize I'm worthless and left.
Why did the Volturi take me? Why did they do this to me?
Why? Why? Why?
Why me?
(time skip, brought to you by Edwards's crooked smile)
"You look beautiful Bells," I said with a soft smile.
"Thank you… you look pretty too Dani" she said shooting me one of her awkward smiles. I dressed really simple since I was crashing prom after all. I wore a spaghetti strap lace black dress, picked out by well Alice.
"You've been awfully quiet lately…" Bella spoke again. I know… I mentally answered. I have been depressed for no reason and I've been sick…
The letter from the hospital had come… but I never got around to reading it…
For some reason, it scared me… I didn't know why… I didn't know a lot of things lately…
"I have? Hmm, that's funny, I'm never quiet" I giggled for effect.
"Exactly my point, is something wrong Dani?" she asked.
"No Bells, and… it should be ME asking that from you, you're the one who can't walk!"
"I'm fine," she said rolling her eyes. My eyes caught the crescent on her hand, and I immediately looked away, remembering that moment all over again.
"C'mon Edward must be waiting," I said dragging her, gently of course, out of the room. Letting her finally take the lead, she, awkwardly went downstairs. I stopped dead in my tracks as the feeling of rotting came over me. I immediately shook my head
"what the hell is wrong with me?" I shut my eyes tightly and released a breath. "let's get this over with"
I walked down the stairs and saw Edward and Bella side by side ready to leave.
"Let's go then," I said smiling.
"Daniella…" I heard Charlie's voice. I proceeded to give him an awkward smile because he had been repeatedly apologizing for not being there and I tried to explain to him that he did the right thing.
"You look beautiful" happiness spread through me.
"Thank you," I said softly.
"Let's go, Dani!" Edward's velvet voice spoke, jeez, isn't someone impatient?
I waved goodbye to Charlie and left.
"ill be right back…" Edward said to Bella as he got into his car. I spotted one of my friends from class WHO WAS ALSO CRASHING PROM!
"Hey Bells! Give me a sec" I ran towards her.
I couldn't talk with anna for 5 secs because another feeling came over me. My eyes darted around the area looking for my reason.
There he was sitting next to Bella. Jacob. I excused myself and walked towards them, my curiosity growing and growing.
"…quote 'we'll be watching you" suddenly an image of a reddish brown wolf appeared in my sight scaring me to death.
"Let me help you up" Jacob spoke.
"Let me take it from here" Edward appeared out of the blue. I internally rolled my eyes, and Edward again dragged Bella away. What is up with him?
"HEY WAIT!" I called Jake before he could leave. He spun around to finally face me. My lips slightly parted because the feeling grew intense.
"Where are you going?" I asked. IDIOT! Who asks that? Of course, he is going home…I think…
"Er… Home?" he replied awkwardly.
"Um. Don't go now… since you're crashing prom, I think, and I'm crashing prom. Let's have fun and then leave. What do you say, shall we make the best of the given opportunity?" I asked giving him my puppy eyes.
"let me think" no…
"Ok!" he said. Whew, thank god for that! I almost thought he was gonna say no…
He awkwardly put out his hand,
"Shall we, senora?"
"We shall, senor," I said with a giggle and placed my hand atop his. In the back of my mind, a bond was made, and deep down I knew we were something special.
"C'mon!" I dragged Jake to the dance floor. Shut up and dance blasted through the speaker.
"Dance with me!" I yelled for him to hear. He was going to protest. Until
"Oooh Shutup and dance with me!" I said right on time, he flashed his white teeth and we danced away.
After a while, Jake grabbed my hand.
"Hey, what do you say we get out of here?" he said with a smirk.
"Where to, Black?
"The beach" I smiled at him happily.
"Let's go!" I spoke. And we ran out of the building full of excitement.
