Chapter 6
No I'm not going to be the victim anymore. I sat up in my bed and yelled for my mother to get me out of the hospital.
"Bells, are you sure? You were raped honey. You need to recuperate." she pleaded.
"No, I want out of here. I can't heal sitting in this bed with everyone walking on eggshells around me. I can't take the hovering. I can't take the pity anymore. I want to go home. My home, with Charlie. I want to not be the victim. I won't be the victim." I said as I tried to stand up.
"Alice, go get your father. See if he can talk some sense into her. Please?" my mom pleaded with Alice this time.
"Yes ma'am." Alice said as she hurried out the door. Just as she crossed the threshold she looked back at me. I knew she could tell I was adamant about going home and that her dad couldn't stop me. She winked and left.
When she came back she looked defeated. Her father followed quickly after her. She just shrugged her shoulders and sat down next to me.
"Bella, I have one condition on sending you home. And yes Alice, I didn't tell you because I knew you couldn't keep it to yourself. My condition is that you have to come stay with us until this is dealt with. You'll be safe there. And you'll have Alice keeping you company. Deal?" he simply added.
"Deal. Now can I get out of here?" I asked sternly.
I know I just did a complete one eighty but I can't keep hiding from him or anyone. They know who did it. I can get through this. I have to.
"Alice, can you go to my house and get me some clothing. I need to get out of here and all I have are my clothes from the other night. I can't wear those. I need something else. Please?" I asked her as she just stood there looking at me. God, I still want to tell her so bad.
"Sure, Bella. I'll be right back." she said as she walked out of the room and my mom just stared at me.
"Bella, I really think you should come back to Florida with me. You said you knew the boy. This town will be nothing but a reminder every day. I really think in order for you to heal properly you need to get away from here." she pleaded with me.
"Mom, I need to stay here. I don't want to let him win. I don't want to be the victim. I am stronger than you think. I have friends here that will help me too. I know you love me and I know you are worried about me, but I need this. You should go back to Phil. I will be fine." I replied as my thoughts went to the one person who could truly help me.
Alice.
It was my mother's turn to look defeated. She knew she wasn't going to win. I made up my mind and when I do, that's it. I waited patiently for Alice to return. I know it won't take her too long and then I am out of this hospital. I can't wait! Then it hit me.
"Did they arrest him?" I asked my mom.
"I don't know for sure yet honey. I haven't heard from your father yet. I'm sure as soon as he does he'll let you know."
Then he's still out there.
Just then Alice came back into the room. She had with her a bag with my belongings. She handed it to me and when her hand brushed mine I had that familiar sensation that traveled throughout my whole body. I instinctively reached out to grab her hand and held it for a moment longer before my mom decided to go out and call Phil and tell him I wasn't coming down to Florida with her.
After she walked out of the room I looked up to see the smile on Alice's face. If I didn't know any better I would say that was exactly how I looked at this moment. She tightened her grip on my hand and then let go. Just as she did my mother walked back into my room.
"Phil said to tell you that he's here for you kiddo and that if you want out of here just to give us a call. He also said he understands what you mean and he knows that you will be ok. I know you both are right but I can't help but want you with me. You understand that, right?"
"I know mom. I just can't though. I will be ok. And if I need anything I will call you."
I reached into my bag and pulled out my clothes. I also noticed my shower things. I looked at Alice and then my mom.
"I am able to take a shower now correct?" I asked.
"I don't see why not but I'll go ask your doctor." my mom said as she headed out the door again.
"Alice can you help me up so I can get to the bathroom? If for some reason I can't shower, I'll get one at your house but I want to be in there if it's ok."
"Sure. I can help you. I'll grab your shower stuff when your mom gets back. That way if you don't need it it's not in there in the way. Is there anything else you need?"
If you only knew how much I would love your company in there.
"Nope. Thanks." I replied.
I swear a quick look of disappointment crossed her face but I wasn't totally sure. Once in the bathroom I sat on the little plastic seat they have in there for you and waited. I heard my mom come back in and tell me that it was ok for me to shower now. I waited patiently for Alice to bring in my shampoo and other things.
She knocked gently and then reached her hand in the door with my things. Again my hand brushed hers and sent sensations up and down my spine. Without even thinking I grabbed her and pulled on her arm. She got my hint and came in.
"Did you remember anything else you needed?" she asked softly. For the first time since she found me I realized how magically musical her voice sounded when she talked to me. It also sent tingles down my spine.
I pushed the door shut and stood up in front of her. Again I was running on auto-pilot because the next thing I remember I was pulling her face closer to mine and my lips touching her extremely kissable ones. As soon as mine made contact a soft moan escaped my lips.
At first I was waiting for her to push me away. What happened next actually shocked me more than any other response from her would have.
