Chapter 2: Awake

I had finally realized how stupid my situation was. I couldn't live like this! Every morning of everyday, I would wake up from my deep slumber to hear the cries of Renee coming from the kitchen. And everytime I walked in there, I would always see her attempting to dip her hands in the boiling water.

I would fight her off and then she would start to get angry. We would yell and scream then stop talking for a few hours. I would calm down myself then go back to the kitchen and look at the damage she had caused herself.

So today was like any normal day.

"AHHH!!"

"Not again..." I thought to myself.

I threw my covers that were over my body onto the floor and quickly jumped out of the bed. I ran down the narrow hall and skidded my way toward the kitchen to find Renee by the boiling pan again.

"Renee! You get your hand out RIGHT now!" I growled the words through my teeth.

"Don't touch me! I know what I must do! Just stop it!!" Renee pushed me away as she dove her hand in once again.

The damage this time was really bad. So I did the only thing that I could do at this moment.

"911, what is your emergency?" The guy on the other line said.

I held my breath for about a second. Trying to think of what I had to say. I nodded my head and went back to the phone.

"Yes, I am Isabella Swan and I need an ambulance here at once. My mother has a 3-degree burn on her hand and I don't know how to prevent infections." I rushed my words but I knew that I made since.

I waited for a reply. I could hear the policeman talking on the other line which was about a whisper. Then he was urgently back on the line again.

"Okay Miss Swan, we will have one right over. Thank you for calling." He said, then hung up.

I dropped the phone on the counter and sunk to the floor with my back against the wall and my knees pressed against my chest. I looked over at Renee who was sitting at the table looking at her hand and crying.

I knew that this couldn't go on any longer. So I decided to call Phil before the ambulance arrived.

I dialed the memorized number and heard nothing. I called again. Nothing. This was odd. He was always at home.

I called his cell phone and I heard a totally different voice. A musical voice? "Umm... Hello?" The man said on the other line.

I cleared my throat, "Is Phil there?" I asked.

"Uhm, Phil died a couple of days ago... We found him dead in his room... Uhh... Is this one of the Swan ladies?"

I sat there for a moment. My heart beating in my throat and my eyes had gone completely dry. I shook my head and went back toward the phone. My breathing was heavy. "Yes, I am Bella Swan. But how do you think Phil died?"

"Miss, he died of an over-dose. He left a note and everything, but the police kept it when they found the body. I am sorry, I didn't want to be the one to tell you..."

"It's okay. Thank you..." I hung up then. I didn't even bother to ask who the person was. I didn't care. The only thing I was worried about was... Renee... I hated to even think about telling her. I could see her reaction now. The hurt in her eyes coming back, strong again. The pain in her body inpulsing through her vains as she falls to the ground in greif.

I didn't know what to do now but wait for the ambulance and go from there...

--

I was in the hospital now. The ambulance ride was only about 10 minutes. It would have been shorter but it was Monday, and that meant morning traffic.

I sat in Renee's room and watched the male doctor wrap fluffy white gauze over Renee's burn. She winced, as the pressure from the doctors' fingers glided over the burn through the material. I closed my eyes and put my head in my hands.

"So Renee, how did this happen?" The doctor asked in a kind voice.

"It was all because of depression, doctor." She said in a whisper.

"This is a terrible and also fatal way of realesing your sorrows, Miss. There is a more healthy way..." The doctos trailed off.

My head shot up and I spoke, "What do you mean by a more heal-"

I was cut off by Renee's screaming, "SEND MY TO THE NUTHOUSE! JUST DO IT! I WANNA LEAVE! I CAN'T STAND MY HOUSE! JUST TAKE ME AWAY! TAKE ME AWAY!!"

My eyes grew wide. I watched in horror as Renee made her rant on being sent to an asylum. I shook my head and the tears rolled down my cheeks.

The nurses took Renee out of the room. But the doctor stayed.

"Bella, do you agree to this...?" He asked in a steady voice.

I took a deep breath. "I don't want her to get hurt sir. I catch her every morning burning herself... I don't want to be too late next time... I think that sending her away would be best." My voice was shaking and cracking the whole time I spoke. I looked into the doctors eyes and he looked at me sypathetically.

"That is a mature and wise decision, Miss Swan." He waited for a second then spoke again, "If you think that this is right, then we will do it... Do you have another place to stay?"

Charlie came to my mind. My father that lived in Forks, Washington. I nodded at the doctor.

"Okay, since you are so young, I will be happy to get you a plane ticket. The cost doesnt-"

"No doctor, you can't."

"Bella, I have over millions of cash. It wouldn't hurt me a BIT if you wanted a first class ticket!"

I nodded to him. And he went to a file. "So where exactly will you be heading to?"

I looked at him and then whispered, "Forks, Washington." Then dropped my head into my hands once again.

TBC!!
