As of now, I was in dad's police cruiser happily watching the scenery go by.
"Did you have a good day Bells?" Charlies asked after a few moments of silence.
"Yeah I did, but do you know what would make it even better?" I said to him.
"What?" He asked curiously.
"You telling me I don't have to be driven to school in the cruiser anymore" I said.
The corner of his lips quirked the slightest after I said this and he looked at me amused.
"You have your licence right?" He asked me.
"Dad, I just turned seventeen. What seventeen year old doesn't have there licences?" I asked him bewildered.
Charlie just shrugged then turned his attention back to the road.
AS we were pulling up to the house, I saw a big old red truck in out drive.
"Are you expecting company?" I asked Charlie.
He just chuckled while shaking his head. He parked the cruiser, killed the engine and climbed out, me not to far behind him.
"No, this is a welcome home present" He announced while patting the trucks hood.
I stared at him and absolute shock.
"This is for ME?" I gasped as he nodded an affirmative.
"Holy shit" I screeched as I stared at the car.
"Bella" He said in a warning tone.
"Yeah yeah I know, swearing isn't lady like and blah blah blah" I rolled my eyes as I walked to the driver's door.
I opened the door and looked inside. It was a standard, no shock there since it was ancient but I like it. I had personality. And the scent of tobacco seemed to be permanent locked in the old worn out leather seats.
"This is perfect" I grinned and turned to give my dad a hug, which I did rarely.
He seemed stunned, since he was stiff as a bored but he awkwardly patted my back, so it was alright.
"I'm glad you like it bells" He told me.
"Like it? I love it!" I jumped up and down and then hopped in my truck and sighed happily.
"But you didn't have to buy me a car. I would have got one" I told him.
"No it's alright. I bought it from a friend so it was practically free" He smiled, making him look 20 years younger.
"Tell him thank you" I said as I hopped out and shut the door gently behind me. This monster was my new baby.
"So tell me about your first day of school Bella" Charlie told me as we entered the door of the house.
"It was good surprisingly" I nodded.
Charlie went into the living room and made himself comfortable in the chair and motioned me to sit on the couch.
"Tell me more" He asked, truly curious.
"Well, the classes are ok. And I've met a few people already" I stated.
"Who?" He asked.
"Well a mike, Eric, Jessica and Angela. Oh and I've made friends with Jasper" I smiled.
"Jasper? Jasper Whitlock?" Dad asked taken aback.
"I thought it was Cullen" I asked confused.
"All the Cullen kids are adopted. Jasper and Rosalie are twins but have different last names. There birth parents weren't legally married yet. Just engaged, but never got around to the wedding" Charlie explained.
"Why not?" I asked curiously.
"Died. Car crash. And since they had no family left they were put in the system I think. Then got adopted by the Cullen's."He stated solemnly.
Psh, leave it to Jessica to leave this part out.
"I didn't know. Jessica only told me so much" I whispered.
Man Jasper didn't have it easy. Can't hear a single thing, loses his parents then put in the system. Hopefully the Cullen's were a good family.
"I only know so much myself. And Jessica Stanley? That whole family are gossipers" He grumbled.
"Seems like it" I mumbled in agreement.
Charlie looked outside and sighed, I looked and saw it was raining.
Oh joy.
"Does it always piss outside" I sighed of annoyance.
"Bella, it rains here more than everywhere else in the United States" Charlie stared blankly.
I groaned and slumped in my seat.
Oh what a joyous life I will live here...
"Well, I better go get you some new tires for the truck. I noticed the old ones are getting pretty bald" He stood up and stretched then walked to the front door.
"You don't have to do that dad" I told him from my perch on the couch.
"Surprisingly it snows in September here Bella. Just want to be safe. And it rains almost non-stop" He said as he slipped on his coat.
"Mother hell..." I groaned under my breath.
What kind of place did I move to?
...
...
...
Last night dad went and got me new tires, I checked them out and saw they were firestone or some shit...I don't speak cars so...whatever.
Anyway, now it was morning and I had an hour till school started.
Accidently slept in...Don't have an alarm clock, well at least not anymore...not after yesterday morning...
Well anyway, I was awake, staring out my window in horror.
There was snow!
And not just a little bit! There was like a foot of it!
Damn dad, fucking jinxed this shit!
"You have got to be kidding me" I breathed out in annoyance.
Shaking my head in frustration, I grabbed my blinds and hastily shut them, as if to make the snow disappear.
So now, fifteen minutes later, after rushing to get ready, realizing I had like half an hour to kill, I was taking my time to eat my breakfast.
Seeing my phone flash on the table I reached over and looked and saw I had a text from Jasper.
Looks like the clouds had an orgasm and the aftermath is on the ground.
I struggled not to spit my cereal and milk out my mouth when I read that. I did choke though. After coughing I was laughing.
Grinning and shaking my head I typed a reply.
And how would you say clouds had said orgasm?
Shortly after I got a reply.
Probably from the sun. I hear it's really hot. Tho I wouldn't know, frickin clouds keep it to itself...tho really Bella, it was only a matter of time they had an orgasm, looks like sooner than I thought tho, sun must be good.
And I almost died when I read that. Who knew Jasper had a sense of humour like that?
Jasper Jasper Jasper, Who knew? Anyway, I'll see you at school. Leaving now.
I got a text as soon as I climbed in my baby monster.
You're just leaving now? I've been here for ten minutes.
Damn, why did they leave so early? Hell, I was going to be early enough. Fifteen minutes until school started. And the dive was only about five minutes, possible ten though in this beast.
What do you do in your spare time?
Boy did that guy text fast. Just as I was about to pull out I got a text.
Sit in the car for a few, and then go in for my first class early.
Shaking my head I typed a reply.
Sounds fun, anyway, I'll see you in a few. Going on the road. Ttyl
Shutting my phone and throwing it on my passenger seat I put my beast in gear and pulled out onto the open road.
So here I was, pulling into the parking lot and trying to find an open slot in the crowded lot.
Not able to find one I had to park on the side, along with a few other older cars.
Hoping out and grabbing my bag I looked up and saw Jasper, not fifteen feet from me, walking with his head down, probably looking at his phone.
Then to my horror, I saw an older car spin out of control, heading right towards Jasper, the wheels giving off a horrid screeching noise, the sound of the brakes clamping down on the tires, but to no use and the car slide out of control, making a one way trip toward where Jasper was.
I knew Jasper couldn't hear therefore couldn't jump out of the way.
Not thinking at all, I raced forward and pushed him with all my might out of the path of the fast oncoming car.
Losing my balance, I was about to fall after Jasper, when I felt something bulldoze my hip with such force I thought I would pass out and my eyes rolled in the back of my head. The force of the unknown object hit my so hard I flew a feet at an odd angle and hit the black cement with insane force.
Groaning, I pulled myself into a fetal position on my side, while bringing my hand to my right hip, the one that happened to be injured.
At first I didn't know what was the thing that crashed into me, but after the shock and barely able to think through the pain, I figured out it was probably the car the hit me.
Once I was able to think around the pain, which was kind of hard, I notice a sea of people around me. I saw like fifteen faces I didn't even recognize.
And all of them seemed to be talking, to me, and to the people beside them, but I couldn't figure out what the hell they were saying!
"Go away" I groaned.
I just wanted to be in pain in solitude for fuck sakes.
Well, they ignored me anyway and continued to panic like monkeys who couldn't find bananas.
Then I saw a face I could actually tolerate.
Jasper.
He pushed his way through the sea of people and kneeled down before me, like an angel about to take me from my misery.
He looked so worried, his eyes wide and shiny, like they were filled with unshed tears.
I so wanted to tell him I was alright and that it didn't hurt and that he shouldn't cry...but...I couldn't exactly talk because it did hurt.
He reached out then cupped my face and I stared up at him. Then I saw people in blue push their way through the crowd, carrying big bags and they settled down beside me.
I looked at them confused, why were paramedics here?
Oh right...
Got hit by a car, DUH.
The one tried to roll me gently to my back and it hurt like a bitch.
"Son of a holy bitch!" I grunted.
"Sorry" The paramedic murmured.
"Where does it hurt?" The female one asked.
"My hip" I said though gritted teeth.
Then the dumb whore just had to touch it.
"Holy fuck!" I cried out in agony.
"Hmm might be broken" She said to her paramedic partner.
Great, I may have a broken hip...something only old people usually got...
And just to prove her point, she started to probe some more.
Did this lady have the I.Q of a fucking sponge?
"Oww" I cried out then bit my lip with such force I'm surprised I didn't break skin.
"I think we should give her some pain medication" The male one stated to his partner while he dug through his bag for something.
"You don't say" I gritted out.
He pulled out a needle and injected a clear fluid.
They then started to try to put me on a stretcher but even the smallest jostle sent a bone chilling shock through my leg and up my back.
"I think we should wait another moment until the medicine take effect and numbs her" The male stated.
"All right" She nodded then leaned forward over me to look in my eyes.
"How many fingers am I holding up?" She asked while giving me a peace sign.
Really, how old was she?
"Two you dipshit" I growled. I did not like her at all.
She gave me a heated glare and scowled but backed the fuck off like I wanted her too.
"I think it's alright to move her now" The male said after a moment.
They then gently moved me onto a stretcher and pulled it up then wheeled me into the ambulance.
To my utter astonishment Jasper hopped right in with me and sat on one of the chair things by me.
"Are you allowed to be here?" I asked him stunned.
He gave half a smile and nodded.
He then reached out, hesitated but then grabbed my hand and held it softly, but firmly in between his two hands.
He looked up and offered a small smile, but it wasn't even close to reaching his eyes.
He looked at my hip, then gestured to it and looked unsure.
I wasn't exactly sure what he meant but I was just going to assume.
"It doesn't hurt much. Just aches a bit" I smiled at him, hoping to put his mind at ease.
He looked puzzled and I wondered if he didn't read my lips well enough.
So after a very short dive to the hospital, mostly silent, with Jasper holding my hand, we arrived and now here I was, sitting in the emergency room.
I was totally doped up on morphine. I could tell I was stoned as fuck.
Jasper sat beside me patiently playing with his phone, continuously turning it around within his hands.
I stared up at the ceiling, trying to make pictures, so far I made a kitty, diamond, and a cloud...or blob...
There were a lot of clouds...
Just then a blonde man walked into my little curtained area and offered a small friendly smile.
He grabbed my chart and looked it over.
"So Bella, I see you might have broken your hip" He said and smiled at me apologetically.
"Yeah I guess, but wouldn't have happened if that car didn't walk in my way" I sighed...yup, I was stoned.
The doctor chuckled.
"Well, let me call the X-ray technician and I could possibly have you down there in half an hour" he stated with a friendly smile.
"Thank you doctor..." I trailed off so I could read his tag.
It read "Cullen"
"Cullen" I gasped.
I looked at him and stared.
This dude was like...Jasper's dad!
"Nice to meet you Bella" He winked, shot Jasper a wide smile and left my little curtained area.
I turned to Jasper.
"That guy is your dad?" I asked shocked.
He smiled and nodded.
The guy didn't even look thirty!
"Hey I've been wondering about this for a bit now" I stared to say to jasper, but in truth, I only started to wonder about it for like the last half hour.
"Can you like talk?" I asked him.
He looked at me like I grew a third eye and two heads.
"I was just wondering. You seem to understand lips pretty well, so I was curious if you knew how" I said as I waved my hands in front of me slightly.
He just shrugged then looked down at his phone and started to text someone.
I sighed and relaxed into the bed.
I must have fallen asleep because I was be woken up by Dr. Cullen.
"Sorry to wake you Bella, but we can take your X-ray now" He smiled softly.
"Okay, how we gonna get there?" I asked groggily, slurring my words a bit.
"Wheel chair" He stated.
He reached out and helped me sit up and manoeuvred me so my legs hung over the side, my weight mostly shifted to the left.
He then helped me to the wheel chair, mostly held me up then let me slowly sink into the chair.
He got behind me and started to wheel me off, Jasper following close behind.
...
...
...
So after posing for my photo shoot, I sat in my wheelchair as Dr. Cullen looked at the sheets.
"Well, there isn't a break" He stated.
"There isn't?" I asked.
"Nope"
"But I felt like insane pain" I told him.
"Well, the bone is badly bruised. It will be some time before you can walk properly." He told me then looked over then smiled sadly.
"It's alright" I sighed.
As he was putting the pictures back in a folder I just couldn't contain my curiosity anymore.
"Why don't you guys get him a hearing aid?" I asked softly.
Dr. Cullen froze then turned to me.
"I'm sorry, I don't me to pry" I started then he cut me off.
"No it's alright. Everyone wonders this. We have tried the hearing aid. Jasper says it barely helps. He said everything sounded as if everything was far away, barely making any noise. When he first got it we tested it. Blasted music from a stereo, it was annoying to us yet Jasper looked like he was straining to hear it. After we shut it off we asked if he could hear it. He said barely. He prefers not being able to hear at all then barely hearing anything. He said there is not much of a difference" Dr. Cullen explained.
"It's that bad?" I gasped.
"His cochlea is practically dead" Dr. Cullen stated.
"Can't you guys do something else? Anything else?" I asked.
"Not much" He stated.
"At least not that I know of" He looked sad. He really wanted to help his son.
"Oh" I sighed sadly.
Jasper didn't have much chance to ever hear...
"Well, I suggest you get crutches and I'll proscribe you some pain medicine" Dr. Cullen finally broke the sad silence.
He got behind the chair and started to wheel me out.
Jasper was sitting outside the room, look at his phone blankly. He seemed to see Dr. Cullen and he looked up then nodded and stood up. Dr. Cullen must have talked in sign language...I'm gonna have to learn that.
Dr. Cullen then walked away and Jasper walked behind me and brought me to the emergency room once again.
He brought the chair to a stop and moved around me then sat down across from me.
"Not too boring?" I asked with a raised eye brow.
He looked puzzled then shrugged.
"You okay with missing school today Jazz?" I asked as I looked at apologetically.
He smiled and nodded.
"Hey I was wondering, I there anyway I can learn sign language?" I asked him.
He looked shocked then nodded hesitantly.
"Good because I wanna learn" I said firmly, though he couldn't hear my tone of voice, but he probably could tell by my expression.
He looked unsure, then waved his hand, as if to say 'Oh no, you don't have to'.
"I'm going to learn Jazz" I said firmly as I gave him a hard expression.
He just sighed then nodded.
I smiled hugely then giggled; Jasper just rolled his eyes then smiled.
Dr. Cullen then walked in, carrying a pair of crutches, put them aside then handed me a piece of paper.
"That's a prescription for some pain killers. I suggest you give it to chief swan and he can go get them for you" He smiled.
I nodded. "Thank you"
"Not a problem" He smiled then looked up as Jasper snapped his fingers, to get his father's attention I'm sure.
Jasper then started to talk in sign language lingo.
"Oh you want to learn sign language Bella?" Dr. Cullen asked me.
"Oh um yeah. I don't think it's entirely fair with him always having to type his reply" I smiled sheepishly.
"I understand" Dr. Cullen smiled then walked out.
"Bella" I heard someone say my name loudly.
I looked up as my curtain was ripped open rather violently.
There stood my livid father.
"I just got notified that you were in an accident! Imagine what I felt when I got told my daughter got hit by a car! That boy is going to have an insurance bill that's going to take his whole life to pay up" He growled. His face was red and I swore it was like glowing.
"Dad I'm alright" I said calmly. Jasper looked startled.
"You got hit by a car!" He almost yelled.
"I think nudged is the correct term?" I said uncertain. I sure as hell didn't want him more pissed off.
He glared and was about to say something when Dr. Cullen arrived once again.
"Oh chief Swan. I was just coming to say it was alright for Bella to leave. I got all the paper work all done so you are free to go" He smiled at me.
"Is she alright?" My dad asked Dr. Cullen.
"She is okay. Just got nicked by a car. Hit her hip pretty good though. But nothing is broken. Her hip is just badly bruised. She should be fine in few weeks time" Dr. Cullen assured my father as my dad sighed of relief.
"Thank you" He thanked Dr. Cullen.
Dr. Cullen smiled then walked away.
Dad turned to me.
"Ready to go home?" He asked.
"Yupperz" I nodded.
I turned to Jasper.
"Thank you" I smiled softly.
He smiled in turn then reached over, grabbed my hand and rubbed the top with his thumb gently before standing up, smiled and nodded his farewell then walked out.
My dad hand me the crutches and help me stand up.
Boy, I was here not even a week and I somehow landed myself in the hospital.
Second day at school, I get hit by a car for crying out loud!
Oh I could tell living here would be interesting.
