Young Battles

Chapter 5

Bella Point of View

The days went by fast. Soon I looked on the calendar and realized that we had been here for a month. I had went up two ranks, and was actually allowed to sit in my room, with the door open of course. I had individual meetings with my doctor, we'd talk about the things that bugged me on a daily. The things I dreamed about, what made me hurt on the inside. Today I had another meeting with Mr. Marshall. I walked into the little room that I had walked into plenty of times before, and sat down in the itchy yellow fabric of the only chair in the room.

"Hello Bella."

"Hey Mr. Marshall."

"How are you feeling today?"

"I'm okay."

"Last time we had a talk we were cut short before I could finish the questions that I had planned. Do you mind if I start on the same subject?"

"Do whatever you need to Doc."

"Were you surprised when your mother died?"

"Of course I was. Mom wasn't very old. She was only thirty-four. It was so sudden. I never saw it coming."

"If you would have, would you have told her sorry for anything?"

"No I never did anything bad, I got good grades, I worked. I cooked, and cleaned, I don't see anything that I could have done that would have made her displeased."

"Would you saw you are a people pleaser?"

"Well I try to my best to make people happy when I'm around."

"Were you happy with your mother?"

"Yea, I mean. Yes, of course. She didn't work, but she was a good mom."

"Did she mother you, or did you mother her?"

"I guess I would the mom in our relationship. She was child like in some areas. I would always worry about her when I was at work or school."

"Did she ever do anything to make you not trust her responsibility?"

"When I was seven she got a DUI, I was in the backseat and she got arrested, but it was her first offense so she didn't have to spend the night in jail."

"Do you think that warrants distrust between a mother and child."

"No."

"Then why do you think that's the reason?"

"I don't know, what does this have to do with anything?"

"These questions are not to make you mad, or uneasy with your stay here," So he heard the doubt in my question. "These questions are meant to see if there were any holes in your past that would cause depression, or distrust in this case right now."

"Well I want to change the subject."

"I'm afraid, Isabella, that we have to finish this list of questions." I looked at him through my eye lashes. "Were you ever left alone with any males as a child?"

"No."

"Have you yourself ever used drugs?"

"Other then the pills I took that brought me here no."

"Has you mother-"

"No I'm not comfortable with these questions!" I stood up and walked toward the door.

"If you leave this room right now you will drop rank." I turned and looked at him he was standing up his palms flat on the desk. He looked threatening.

"Change the questions." I demanded.

"You do not tell me what to do."

I grabbed the door knob, turned it and walked out, slamming the door on my way out.

I walked quickly to my room, knowing the nurse would be in there soon kicking me out and changing my bracelet from a yellow, to orange. I sat on my bed and wrapped my arms around my drawn up knees. I cried silently till the nurse came in. "Isabella, we need to go to the living room." I looked up at her and sighed.

She walked forward, grabbed my wrist and quickly snipped my bracelet, and replaced it with another like it was nothing. With her hand still wrapped wound my pale wrist she escorted me to the living room and lightly pushed me towards the center.

I looked at my brand new orange bracelet, one step further from my freedom. I sat down on the purple couch, and left myself to my thoughts. I was more then startled when my weight shifted and I fell to the right. Strong arms wrapped around me to stop my free fall into someone's lap. I felt my face heat up as I looked up and saw the most clearest blue eyes, that I come to know as Jasper's

"Hey Jasper." I whispered.

"I see things didn't go well today." He said and pointed to the orange bracelet. I shook my head. "Well look at it this way, I still haven't left red status." I looked at his wrist and it was true.

"I think Alice as a green bracelet." Level three, orange was level five, red was six. Once we got purple we would graduate.

He shook his head, "She was force fed today, which bumped her down to yellow. Then she bit Mr. Marshall because he literally held her mouth open and forced the spoon in her mouth. She's on red, and they put her in solitary."

I shook my head that was horrible, Alice had been eating a lot compared to how she came in she was happy yesterday when she came back from her weight check, she gained five pounds. "She's sick though, she felt really warm yesterday, like she had a fever."

"They don't care, it's there job to make her eat. She wouldn't. Sick or not sick they have to make her."

"I hate it here, like the other people here are nice to talk to but the doctors and nurse they act like they care, but they don't. Mr. Marshall asked me really off the wall questions. That's how I dropped rank I left our session."

"Oh look at you being a little rebel."

"Oh shut up." I said and playfully slapped his arm, which was still around my waist. I blushed and looked over to him. His eyes were so deep, and I easily got lost in them. I licked my lips quickly, and moved my bangs from my eyes. "Jasper..." I whispered. I leaned forward, tilting my face upward, I felt his fingers tighten around my waist.

I wanted this, I wanted him to kiss me. I had never been touched by a guy, never been kissed. I liked Jasper, I wanted him to be my first kiss. I wanted -

"Hey Bella, and Jasper!" Emmett hollered from the doorway, quickly breaking Jasper and I's embrace.

"Hey Emmy." It felt like all the blood in my body rushed to my face as he sat on my left.

"What did you do today, Bells?" He asked me.

"Talked to Mr. Marshall, went down to level five."

"Really I went up to level five!"

"That's great Emmett." Jasper said.

"You still have red?" He asked Jasper.

"Yea, I think I'm the only one now."

"No Rose punched Edward in the face today in gym and dropped to red, it was an accident though."

Jasper and I laughed, Edward walked into the living room then with an ice pack on his left eye, causing us to laugh harder. "Where is Rose, by the way?" I asked.

"She's talking to doctor Morrison, about what happened when she was in London." Edward said as he sat down in front of the couch.

I nodded Rose had been talking to Dr. Morrison a lot lately. "So Edward, you able to see enough for a game of apples to apples?"

"Laugh it up Swan, I'll can kick your butt in apples to apples with no eyes."

I balled up a fist, "Want to test this theory?"

We all laughed as Jasper went to get the game, and Edward threw his invisible white flag.\
