I love Charlie. Did I mention that? I love him. :)

Date: 13th March

Character: Charlie

Stimulus: How to save a life

I remember back to those dreadful days. Bella is better now; you wouldn't be able to guess what she was unless you witnessed it.

But I know.

I remember the nights of screaming. She thought I didn't know, but I always knew. I used to sit with my head in my hands, night after night, and wonder where I had gone wrong. Because this pain she felt? I could do nothing to soothe it.

I wanted to help, but she never let anyone else in. If I had known how to reach her, I would have done anything in my power—anything—to have her back. But there was never anything. I could do nothing as I watched her scream and cry, and die a little.

I would have stayed up with you all night,
had I known how to save a life.

It's better now. You know that. It's a little better. But it's not going to get much better for a long time. Not really.

How to save a life.
