Sorry for the delay guys. It wasn't done as soon as I said it
would be. I have had my music teacher all over me these last few
weeks about my theory exam. However now it is halfterm. So I
am going to get my bum into gear and right more. Enjoy and Review please :)
"Hello?"
My inquisitive voice answered the phone for me. It was very unlikely that I would recognise anyone's voice from around here after being away so long, but I wasn't expecting to hear what I did.
"Sorry I must have got the wrong number."
The voice was icy cold and didn't come across has very friendly or welcoming, before I had the chance to even bleat out a simple 'ok', I heard the beeping of the dialling tone. Whoever that was obviously didn't want to linger and for some reason that frustrated me! I slammed the phone back down onto the receiver and pinched the bridge of my nose, a habit I have to try to relieve some of the tension that builds up in my body...
"Bells, Bells?"
Charlie's hand waved in front of my face and I awoke from my stupor and turned to face him.
"Who was on the phone?" he asked.
"No- one, it was a wrong number."
Even remembering the stranger's voice sent chills up and down my spine. Charlie's reply was short and concise. "Oh, Ok." Silence filled the air, thick and heavy.
"I really need to go down to the station, catch up on some paperwork, will you be ok here on your own for a bit." Charlie asked.
I don't know why he was so concerned I used to be left on my own all the time when...
"That's fine, no problem"
I replied with a slight stammer which I hoped he didn't notice. He didn't. He walked to the door, grabbed his coat and with only one slight glance back, walked straight through the door into the pouring rain. I was left at 'home' on my own for the first time. I finished washing and drying the dishes, trying to manoeuvre my way around the kitchen, discovering cupboards I didn't know even existed and drawers with no purpose. When all was done and the kitchen finally looked presentable, I returned to my new room and collapsed onto the bed. I closed my eyes. I came to Forks so I could escape. My eyes flew open. Then I realised no matter where I was in the world, I could never escape. To top it all off, I had to start Forks High School tomorrow. Great. New school, halfway through semester, not a good idea. Lots of attention, finding classrooms and people analysing you trying to work out which clique you belong with. I never really fit in anywhere in particular; I kind of just wandered between. In my opinion cliques are overrated. The emo's, the geeks, the 'it crowd', and then the normal people, but I was beginning to doubt whether Forks even had any normal people in it.
The low ticking of the bedside clock, the high pitch tweet of birds and the heavy sound of rain smashing into the windows. They were the only sounds I could hear. In Phoenix I felt sometimes like I couldn't breathe. The sound of cars, shouting and the drunk on the corner, they were all intoxicating sounds. But this, the sound of nature I could learn to love. It would seem that as impossible as I thought it was Forks may have its advantages.
My phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket. I pulled it out and glanced at the screen. 1 new message from Sally Ann. I reluctantly opened the message, though I knew I would regret it. My eyes quickly scanned the text. I was right I did regret opening it. Anger penetrated my body's defence system. I threw the phone with all my strength. It hit the wall and rebounded finally landing in the middle of the room. This whole mess was ALL Phil's fault. Anger guided me down the stairs and before I knew it I was standing back outside in the pouring rain. Cold water hitting my face again, my hair sticking to my face and the grey thunderous clouds leaked more and more water. I woke up. I felt alive for the first time in ages. I wanted to run around in the pouring rain, screaming at the top of my lungs, however right now I needed to try and act normal to fit in, and I doubt running around the neighbourhood, in icy cold rain, screaming my head away would give me the reputation of the Head Cop's mental daughter from Phoenix. So I reluctantly returned to the house dripping wet, but refreshed. The big clock in the hall struck 11, and I realised I was actually quite tired and as much as I didn't want to think about it I did have school in the morning. So I slowly made my way back up the stairs and returned to my room. I removed my dripping clothes, towelled myself dry and pulled some PJ's that had been stuffed untidily in a random drawer in my attempt to unpack. I got under the covers of my bed, it was lovely and warm. I took a finally glance at the photo on my night stand. Flicked off the light, and let sleep come.
Charlie POV
I made my way back through the front door at about 12, I knew it was a bad idea to work till so late, and that I would be drained of energy tomorrow, but hopefully I had just reduced my work load for the week to follow. I didn't know if Bella was asleep or not so I decided I should check before I went to collapse in my own bed. Though I did notice on my way towards the stairs how much tidier the kitchen seemed, it had been months, maybe years since I had seen it that spotless. Maybe a woman's touch was exactly what this place needed. I turned away from the kitchen and slowly trotted up the stairs. I pushed Bella's door open a crack on my way towards my room, just to check if she was still breathing. I was happy to see her lying under the covers, breathing heavily and deeply. I admit that I let out a deep sigh of relief. Through the slight crack in the door, I could see her phone, lying in the middle of the floor, its screen intermittently flashing, and my attention was caught. I quietly pushed the door open a little further and slowly snuck into her room, almost as though I was committing a heinous crime. I snuck around her bed to where the phone lay and I took a peek at the screen.
Bella-
Cld u and Lucas help me with the kids dance class this weekend? Let me no- extra credit 4 college! Luv to ya both, SA x x (Thanks Danni Darlin')
"O Bells!" I sighed, and glanced over at her, she seemed slumped in a deep sleep. I stood up and started to head back out of her room, realising I still had her phone in my hand, I had to turn back and I placed it on her bed side table. A picture of Lucas smiled as I put it down. His brunette locks, chocolate coloured eyes and sharp cheeks bones. The spitting image of Bella. Her other half, someone that we had both lost. I quickly exited the room and I closed the door behind me. I slid down the door and tried unsuccessfully to hold back my tears, I let go.
Bella POV-
I opened my eyes, just as I heard my door finally shut. The tears streaked my face. A living nightmare.
