Chapter 6
Bella's POV;
The doctor had told me that I was here because of Charlie. At first I didn't understand why Charlie would hurt me. I only remembered the nice Charlie
Dr. Cullen looked at me like I was crazy. I couldn't remember anything, so he left. He just walked out of the room and didn't say anything.
"What the HECK!!"
I screamed at the empty room. Five seconds later he was back with a video camera. It looked like a security camera from Wal-mart (there was a smiley face on it).
Dr. Cullen plugged it into the TV and pressed play. What it showed shocked me. Why couldn't I remember any of this? That was when it clicked. I had told Charlie I didn't want to go anymore and he almost beat me to death! What kind of father would do that? I looked down and saw a bruised and broken body. How did it come to this?
I broke down and started crying. What the doctor said next made me cry even harder.
"Bella, because you fractured your spine you have to stay in a wheelchair for an indefinite amount of time…and your mother doesn't want to take care of you.
Dr. Cullen's POV;
"…your mother doesn't want to take care of you"
I had talked to Renée about the extent of Bella's injuries and when I got to the part about the wheelchair, Renée looked up at me, told me to stop; she didn't want to hear it. Bella wasn't her daughter.
I looked into Renée's eyes and saw that she wasn't joking. That made me furious. What would Bella do? She would be stuck in a wheelchair for god knows how long, her mother doesn't want her and her father almost killed her…
What could I do?
Edward's POV;
I was sitting right across from Renée in a seat that I knew Carlisle couldn't see when he walked in to talk to Renée. I couldn't help but listen in…
"(Carlisle) Renée, I'm sorry but due to the amount of injuries Bella has received she will have to stay in a wheelchair for an unknown amount of time."
I saw Renée look up at Carlisle, her face showing no emotion and heard her say that she didn't care, and she didn't have a daughter. She had passed away in an accident. A look of shock crossed Carlisle's face. He looked like he was thinking.
Bella no longer had a family. Carlisle was my dad and Esme was my mom, but I wasn't their biological child. Neither was Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie, we had all been adopted. Why couldn't Carlisle adopt Bella?
Carlisle POV:
I figured out what I would do. I just hope everyone will be okay with it, especially Edward. I'm pretty sure Esme would love another girl, Alice someone to shop with, Emmett and Jasper another sister. I'm pretty sure Rosalie and Bella would be joined at the hip, girls united by rape. Now I just have to find out who to call.
Bella's POV:
After Dr. Cullen told me that my mother no longer wanted me as a daughter I was shocked! What had I done to deserve this? I couldn't believe this. In the same week my father almost killed me and now my mother doesn't even want me.
I sat there for about an hour, thinking, when I heard the door creak open quickly forcing me out of my thoughts. When I turned towards the door I noticed the boy that was sitting next to me was back.
For some reason I wasn't afraid of him, I felt safe and protected, which was completely opposite from what I felt like this morning. Dr. Cullen had told me that after all I had been through I would be afraid of basically everyone and everything. I was jumping at shadows. But I wasn't afraid. He was standing in the doorway looking at me.
(Regular=Bella/Bold=Edward)
"Are you going to come in or just stand there and stare?"
"Oh, sorry. Dr. Cullen said I could come and talk to you. My name is Edward Cullen."
"I'm Isabella Swan, but you can call me Bella. Wait, did you say Cullen?"
"Yes I did, is there anything wrong with that?"
"Ummmmmmmmmmmm…No"
Edward's POV:
Yeah! Dad said I could go see Isabella! He also said I could tell her he was going to take her in for some time. She was going to be my sister! I arrived at the door and opened it slowly, not wanting to scare her like last time. As I opened the door I realized that it squeaked. I hope Isabella heard it. When I looked into her room I saw her. She was so pretty and so beat up. Dad had said that she would be stuck in a wheelchair for a few months. While she was in the wheelchair Carlisle could do check-ups whenever they were needed and give her medication when she needed it. I just hoped she would want this.
(Same as earlier)
"Are you going to come in or just stand there and stare?"
Her voice is beautiful; might as well introduce myself.
"Oh, sorry. Dr. Cullen said I could come and talk to you. My name is Edward Cullen."
I noticed that as soon as I said my name her face showed shock
"I'm Isabella Swan, but you can call me Bella. Wait, did you say Cullen?"
What just happened? why does she look scared? Darn what did I do wrong?
"Yes I did, is there anything wrong with that?"
After I asked she blushed she was embarrassed? I chuckled to myself; she must have heard me because her voice cracked when she answered
"Ummmmmmmmmmmm…No"
AKWARD SILENCE!!
Um, now what am I supposed to do, just tell her that Dr. Cullen was going to take her in because her parents didn't want her? That we are going to be siblings or should I wait and have Carlisle tell her? I should just tell her…
"Um, Bella" her head popped up while mine went down "How would you feel if someone took you in until your parents figured everything figured out?" The floor is really boring…
"REALLY?" is she happy or angry…wow! She looks like Alice does when she gets to go on a shopping spree! I have never seen someone so happy. She is happier then Alice was when she got her first credit card. I didn't think it was humanly possible…I never thought that anyone could be happier then Alice, I hope she'll ask quest…
"Hey, Edward? Who's adopting me?"
I really hope she doesn't mind
"Dr. Carlisle Cullen"
"REALLY? How many kids? Where will I live? Will I have siblings? Where will I…"
"Bella, Calm down, I can only answer one question at a time. Number one, they have one biological child. 4 others are adopted, 2 sisters and 3 brothers. You will live in Forks, Washington and you will be in my class at Forks Elementary."
"How will I be in the same class as you?"
"Dr. Carlisle Cullen is my dad."
"So we are going to be siblings?"
"Yes"
"But I don't know anything about you"
"That's ok, you will learn"
