Hey guys please don't be mad at me. I know it's been over a month since I last updated, but I swear I have been so busy that alot of my stuff that I'm doing is back to back. It's the most annoying thing ever, but things are getting to where I will have more time so I can update more often. Oh and I've alsohad a really bad case of writers block. You know when you can't think of anything for the next chapter of your story. That's what I've been suffering, but now I have a really awesome idea for more chapters. So do enjoy this long awaited chapter.
DISCLAIMER: Sadly Twilight is not my story and Paul is not my character.
"When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny." ~Paulo Coelho, The Devil and Miss Prym
My alarm clock went off and I lazily crawled outta bed. I slowly made my way to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth & walked back to my room. I walked over to my closet and pulled out a dress. Stripping down to my underwear and bra I pulled it on. I grabbed my brush and brushed through it. I plugged in my curling iron and curled my hair. After I finished my hair I put on some make-up. I grabbed my headband with a yellow flower on it and put it in. Pulling on some sandals I walked downstairs to the kitchen to get some food. I finished in the kitchen. Walking into the living room I turned the TV on and left it on the news. I didn't pay much attention until I heard my mother's name. I turned up the volume and listened to what the reporter was saying. "The police have received footage from a camera proving that man who hit Valerie West was not the main cause of the tragic accident. Joseph Olson was to a victim." The reporter said. A tape played showing a third car running it Joseph's car his car spun wildly and hit my mother's car which went spinning hit a curb and flipped. I turned off the TV and ran to grab the keys. I needed to know if what was being said was true and only one person knew that for sure and that was Joseph himself. I ran out the door and hopped in the car.
Paul's POV
I turned the corner to see the back of Codi's car go speeding down the road and turn a corner. I stood there wondering why she was in such a hurry. I turned around and ran to Emily's. I walked through the door and found Sue and Emily sitting at the table talking. Sue looked up. "I thought you'd show up here soon." She said. "It's about Codi isn't it?" "Yeah, but how'd you know?" I asked. "Call it intuition." Sue said with a shrug. "Codi left her place in a hurry. Why would she do that?" I said. Something had been off about her lately and I couldn't pin point what it was. "I would leave in a hurry if I'd just found out that man you accused of your mothers murder was proved to be a victim as well. I'm pretty sure she just wants answers to the truth and the one person that knows the truth right now would be the man she accused." Sue explained.
Codi's POV
I took a few deep breaths and stepped out of the car. I calmly made my way into the hospital. I walked up to the front desk. "Joseph Olson's room please." I said. "I'm sorry sweetie, but he's not having any visitors." The lady said. "Oh ma'am please he's my father and I just found out the terrible news. Please I really need to see him." I said. I buried my head in my hands and pretended to cry. "Oh dear, I'm not supposed to, but he's in room 243 on the 2nd floor." She said with a sigh. "Thank you so much." I said. I made my way to his room. I saw someone walking down the hall and pretended to walk into the room across the hall from his once they were past I slipped into his room. "The doctor's said I wasn't aloud any visitors, none at all. So why the exception of a pretty blonde." Joseph said with a smirk. I gave him a smile and walked and sat in the chair beside his bed. "See the doctor's don't know I'm here. I'm what you'd call a good actor. But that's not why I'm here. I'm here because I want to know if you're so called accident was really an accident after all and you're the only one who really knows that. So tell did you hit my mother on purpose?" I said seriously. "Now why on earth would I want to kill let alone kill a perfectly innocent women?" Joseph said shocked. "I don't why would you? Now answer my question. Did you kill my mother on purpose?" I said earnestly. "No I did not kill your mother. The truth is that it was late and I was pulling out when someone came out of nowhere and hit me from the side. My car went spinning and hit another car I saw that car go spinning and that's when I lost conscience." Joseph said. I looked him straight the eye looking for any sign of deception. His eyes were bluer than sky and they were way to familiar. I gasped jumping from my chair. "No, no that's not possible. It's not possible." I said. "What's not possible Annabelle?" Joseph asked. "I never told you that my name was Annabelle how'd you know that?" I asked. That man laying in the hospital bed in front of me was my father and know matter how long I denied it. There was no way that I could ever convince myself that he wasn't cause I knew he was. "I called you Annabelle. I'm sorry that was my daughter's name." Joseph said. It was silent for what seemed like years. "I can't do this anymore. I am your father and I can't deny that." Joseph said breaking the silence. "I know." I whispered. "Your mother lied to you to protect you. The job I had at the time was dangerous and there was someone who wanted me dead. When a building that I'd been in exploded it looked like I'd died in it, but I had escaped out the back. Your mother you saw the whole thing on the news so we decided that's when I would "die" and you would continue your life without danger lurking around the corner." Joseph said. I looked at him with tears in my eyes. I couldn't say anything. I turned away and pushed the door open. I ran past the elevator and towards the stairwell. I ran down the stairs and out the front door. I ran into something hard and warm.
Paul's POV
After Sue told me what had happened I'd left so I could be with Codi. I'd just made it to the hospital in Port Angelos when she'd come running out. She ran straight into my arms. She looked at me and I saw the tears running down her face. I reached my hand out and brushed the tears away. "Codi, what happened?" I asked earnestly. "My mother lied to me." She said.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter there a more to come. I know the ending is a bit of a cliff hanger, but hey cliff hnagers are fun to write. Now don't forget to review, suscribe, and favorite. ~ms. unpredictable2000
