A/N: so I just thought of this last night. I have no idea where it will go, so don't ask!! ☺☺ so…. on with the show!
Never Changed, Nevermore:
Chapter One:
Unreliable, Undiscovered
BPOV:
I, Bella Swan, actor extraordinaire, would never act again, and I'm only 17! But what am I saying, I'm so sorry, I guess I'll have to back to the beginning…
Flashback:
I was sitting in a doctor's office, very familiar territory for me, and they took the semi-annual blood work. I was waiting in the room patiently for the doctor's return, but he was taking forever. Just then, the doctor came in.
"Bella, I am Doctor Howard. I checked the results of your test results, and I'm sorry, but you have Leukemia (A/N: cancer of the blood, for those of you who don't know). As you know, Leukemia is untreatable, and your case is pretty advanced.
"I didn't want to tell you this, but my prognosis for you is six months at the most. I'm so sorry."
" I'm sorry Doctor, I don't understand. In six months I'll be better, right? I'm filming a new version of Romeo and Juliet for Paramount. I can't be laid up at all." I told him, remembering. (A/N: Bella doesn't realize he means six months to live. Thus she doesn't understand her situation)
I knew I was screwed when his face turned pale and he looked faint. "Bella, I'm so sorry. But I meant six months to live, a year at most. I'm so sorry, so sorry indeed."
End Flashback.
I shuddered at my memory. Currently I'm sitting in my star trailer in California – LA to be exact – my amazing director hurried performance time so I could get this last movie before my time to die.
"Bella! Come out here! I have a call for you." That's my agent – a.k.a. my best friend – I hired Alice about two years ago. Strange girl, but I love her like she's my little sister, or vica versa. The one thing that gets me though, is she always wears long sleeves and jeans. Flip flops on occasion, but only when it's cloudy. I've called her out on this before, but she just shrugs it off like its nothing.
"Alice, who is it? I haven't had a call since Renee called to tell me that the weather in Japan is amazing." Renee is my mother, she and my step-dad, Phil, got married a while ago and he plays for the Dragons in Japan.
"Now, Bella. Just answer it and see who it is!" she trilled, damn her happy attitude. Don't get me wrong, I love her, just sometimes her tenacious happiness ticks me off.
"Fine!" I said, and took the phone from her.
"Bella! How are you? I haven't heard from you in a while." After the second syllable I knew who it was immediately, my real father – Charlie.
"Dad?! O my God, how are you? I've missed you so much!"
"Bella, I know you're busy, but I really would like to see you. Everyone here is asking for you, you know. Jake's beside himself with happiness that you can act."
I gasped into the phone. I didn't tell him yet, and my clock was ticking – literally. "Dad, I know I shouldn't be telling you this over the phone, but – you may want to sit down for this one – I have Leukemia. I went to the Doctor last month in Nevada. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but with all the drama here, I completely blew you off." No answer. "Dad?" Still no answer. "DAD!" I screamed.
"Bella, my Bella. I'm so glad you finally told me. I kinda figured something was off…are you sure? Wait! Come visit me in Forks for the weekend. Surely they can let their dying star actress come visit her old man for a while, right?" I just looked at Alice. She nodded okay. "Sure Dad, I'd love to! Just let me talk it over with Hank, my director/producer okay?"
"Sure Bells. I can't wait for you to finally come home! We have the most state of the art doctor in our hospital, Dr. Cullen, I think his name is…But anyway, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it, okay?"
After another second, I agreed and hung up. Alice then promptly drug me to Hank to talk to him about a short hiatus to visit my dad one more time, to which he promptly agree, actually giving me the whole week, plus three days, to visit. He told me that they'd just shoot the scenes when I'm not in it, like when Romeo is banished in Mantua or whatever else.
After that conversation, Alice jumped up and down squealing excitedly (to my horror) and pulled me behind her back to my trailer, where she packed my things and some of hers in record time. She called the airline and got us a flight for that night, and as soon as we boarded the plane, I knew my life was far from over yet.
A/N: so that was my first chapter, what did you guys think about it? Good, or bad? You know the only way to tell me is to send me a review………….
