Here is the second chapter (:
Last Time
I would lie awake most of the night until an hour or so before dawn when I wall fall into an uneasy sleep. I normally woke around 10 but I had been so tired because all the extra time I had gave me too much time to think.
AngelaPOV
Bella has been through so much already this year. I don't know how she is still standing, but I am glad she is because she has done so much for everyone, though she doesn't know it. I was proud of her because of how far she had come since Edward left...
"Bella?" I came into to the house and called to see if she was in. Charlie had asked me to check up on her when Edward left because he thought I could help. I didn't know what to do though so I did what I thought would be best for her.
"Bella?!" I called again. I was getting worried now because she usually answers the first or second time you call her. Unless...
I ran up the stairs and burst into her room and froze. She was cutting again.
"Bella! What are you thinking?!" I crossed over to her and took the knife out of her hand and dropped it on the floor. I hugged her tight not wanting to let go of her in case she picked up the knife again.
She didn't respond but after a few minutes she broke down and began to shudder violently. She hugged me back just as tightly as if she too was afraid of picking up the knife again. I could feel the blood from her arm soaking into my shirt but I didn't care. She was safe but she needed help that no one could give her. She had already hurt herself twice this month and it worried me that she was still trying. Charlie couldn't handle it and Renée didn't know anything about it. Everyone else was curious but knew they weren't going to find anything out.
Charlie must have came in whilst we were hugging because the next thing I saw was him pulling Bella away from me into a hug. He usually didn't show much emotion unless it was too hard for him to contain but now there were tears streaming down his face. I knew that he tried to be strong around Bella but it was all getting to him now.
Though I had done nothing wrong I felt guilty. I blamed myself for Bella cutting herself. If only I had been with her at all times, asked to study with her...
I still worried about her a little but not as much as I used to. I knew that with Xavier in her life, she would not hurt herself because by doing so she would hurt him and she didn't want that.
I knew there was something special about him because he had healed Bella when no one else could. I don't know why, but I felt that he would give his life for Bella and this made me like him a lot. If he was willing to do that for Bella, then he was a welcome person in her life.
