Date: 24th February

Character: Bella

Stimulus: Waiting


The hands on the clock tick repetitively around in a circle as she waits. She's been waiting for a while now, and she doesn't really mind waiting so much. She stares at the phone.

In her mind's eye, it rings suddenly, and she picks up, and Jake speaks. He'll be telling her that he can see her again, that he is well again. He will tell her that things can go back to some sense of normalcy.

But the phone doesn't ring. He doesn't call, and he isn't better.

So she just keeps waiting.
