Chapter 14
Bella's POV
Not Fast Enough
"Bella! Amber!" My fathers voice came from the front door.
I remembered what Amber said in the room: just go and do it! I yelled to myself. I nodded. "DADDY!" I ran full speed and jumped into his arms. Not waiting for him to get his equipment off or anything. He caught me, thank God! "I love you, Dad!" I cried hugging him tighter.
"I...I love you too, Bells!" Charlie stuttered pulling me away from him. He had tears in his eyes. "You...you don't see or feel anything?" He asked smoothing my bangs from my face.
"Just you and joy, tons of joy!" I sang happily and hugged him again; a little bit more gentle. "I missed you, Daddy!" I I whispered a few tears falling down my cheeks.
"Oh...I missed you too, Baby Girl," Charlie whispered, tears thick in his voice. "I missed you too!"
"Hey Charlie," Amber greeted brightly.
"Amber?" Charlie wasn't the only one surprised. For one, Amber actually talked to Charlie. That's only happened a handful of times since we've been here. Second, she was smiling. Not just a little smile, not a fake smile. I mean a damn 1100 watt smile!
"Hey Charlie, you catching the game at our place Sunday?" Jacob asked walking into the kitchen from behind Amber. Giving Charlie I small greeting pat on his back.
"Yeah Jake! I wouldn't miss it! You girls coming with?" He asked excitedly.
I took out some thawed chicken and shrugged. "Probably not, Dad. We have-"
"Yeah, I'll be there!" Amber interrupted grabbing the salad ingredients.
The room was silent. I dropped the knife. Jacob sat on the counter, mouth hanging wide open. Charlie smiled brightly. "Ok then! Glad you're making progress on you're own, Amber. Bella you're doing great too! I'm proud of you girls!"
I was confused, as I picked up the knife once again. Amber was going to a football game? Around a bunch of hollering, yelling, screaming, jumping men!? Why? Just because I can touch my Dad and she can touch Jake, doesn't mean she is fully healed! "Neither of us are," I muttered quietly, too quietly for the other three to hear. We were healing...but not fast enough. "Not fast enough!"
Ok last chapter was small and this one is like MEGA-small! Sorry about that! I promise you, Chapter 15 is going to be SO much longer than the last two!
