So, I spent yesterday night writing, I couldn´t sleep, I still had to think about the plot. My best friend has read through it and she loved it... I hope you will too.. :-))))
Right now I began writing the 5th chapter, so it should be ready by tomorrow night, I suppose :-))))
It would be nice to receive some review... you would make my day beautiful :-))))
Again, I don´t own anything from Twilight, just Ellen, Patricia and this plot...
Enjoy and have a nice weekend... :-)
CH.4.
Edward turned around and wished to ask what happened but noticed the little thing that Carlisle held in his hand.
It was Ellen´s cell phone. Bella replied: „ It must be Ellen´s…Edward you must turn around…"
Edward turned the car immediately and drove back quickly: „ Fasten your seatbelts"
In few minutes he was arriving back to her home but he didn´t like what he could hear with his special hearing.
His wife looked at him shocked and silently added: „ Guys, you were right…she is in a big trouble…."
Edward turned off the lights and they could see the man shouting : " Stupid bitch…I´m going to teach you how to behave…." He hit the door strong and got in the car. In few moments he was gone. The three Cullens were looking at each other to what they have just witnessed.
Bella as the only woman immediately got out of the car and ran to the door. She had to be careful and run in a human speed. When she was coming closer, she could hear Edward coming closer to her and holding her tight: " Bella…stop…" Suddenly she felt the smell of the blood and stayed back with her husband while Carlisle went first and slowly knocked on the door.
Ellen was sitting on the floor, still unbelieving of what happened. She cried silently, worried about her daughter. She didn´t know whether the noise didn´t wake up Patricia. Then she heard moves and silent sounds on the door.
She didn´t know who could be coming that late. She heard Derek leaving so it couldn´t be him.
She shouted with her trembling voice: " Go away please….. "
Edward replied softly: " Ellen, it´s us…." She stared and tried to get up but at the moment Carlisle opened the door and they all entered. She was just wiping the blood remains from the nose and he kneeled down to her: " Ellen, I am a doctor… I can check you….."
She waved the hand: " It is nothing….really, I´ll be fine….." He looked at her and touched her hand.
He took her napkin and began cleaning the face. While doing that he checked with his sight if she is alright.
She must have hit her head because she had a bruise getting bigger. But otherwise she seemed to be fine.
Edward came closer next to his dad and asked: " What happened?"
Bella handed her the mobile: " You left this in our car, that´s why we came back in case you need it…"
Ellen just smiled gratefully: " thank you ...for everything...you´ve been so kind to me….." Edward replied: " You´re welcome, dear….."
Then he was silent for a brief moment thinking.
To Ellen he seemed thinking, but he was trying to look into her mind.
She was feeling embarrassed and he could sense the fear coming out of her.
Carlisle noticed this emotion too and asked: " would you like to come to our house? You could rest easily without fear…."
She watched them and couldn´t believe her own eyes.
People she barely knew, were offering her some form of help. A tear fell down and Edward knew that he was right.
She wasn´t used to receiving help from someone. He thought that such a nice person must have many friends, but Ellen wasn´t the case. Ellen noticed that they were all waiting for her reply and managed to stand up: " Thank you very much for you offer, but you have already done for me so much, I cannot bother you anymore…You have all been so nice"
Bella dared to come closer to her: " Ellen, you don´t bother us, don´t say that…."
Edward agreed: " We regard you as a friend to us…. And friends help each other…"
She looked at them all expecting her answer and she didn´t have the will to refuse them. They seemed to be so sincere.
Before she could say anything, a small child appeared in the living room still sleepy with a doll in her hands: " Mum? What is going on here? Who are these people?" She pointed at the Cullens.
Ellen took her daughter in her arms: " Patty, these people are our friends, here are Edward, Bella, and Carlisle.." She pointed at each one and they smiled.
Bella waved to her: " Hi, Patty, we are glad to know you, we have already heard a lot about you, will you come with us to our home for a visit?"
Patricia looked at her: " For a visit? Now?..."
Carlisle dared to come closer and caressed her hand: " Yes, your mummy is very tired and needs to sleep now…. "
Little girl looked at him and she really liked his blond hair, he seemed nice and she asked him: " May Amy also go with us?"
Edward looked kinda confused but Carlisle seemed to understand: " You mean your little friend here?" and touched her baby doll.
Patty nodded and he laughed: "of course she may go…she wil be more than welcome…."
She felt incredibly tired and couldn´t hold the eye lids open.
Ellen wanted to lay her down on the couch but Bella asked: " May I?" Ellen agreed and gave her little sleeping treasure into Bella´s arms.
Patricia just moved closer to her chest and Ellen said: " Please, give me few minutes, I will just take few things…"
Carlisle tried to comfort her: "Take your time….no need to hurry…." She turned around and left the room.
Ellen went to her bedroom and took out a bag and began giving some clothing of her and the little one.
She was surprised, she never had a friend to help her like this and now completely unknown people offer her some sort of help. She couldn´t believe it. They seemed so nice. She just felt sorry that they had to witness their argument with her husband.
Luckily Patricia didn´t wake up by Derek´s shouting. By remembering his name she had tears in her eyes again.
She tried to wipe them but it wasn´t so easy. She hoped that nobody would hear that, but she didn´t have any idea about the hearing abilities of her friends. T
hey looked at each other but they couldn´t say anything that they heard everything.
Ten minutes later Ellen came down with a small bag with clothing and some necessary things.
Edward took her bag and when she closed down the house and sat down into their car, she gave her the sleeping princess: " She is so beautiful…"
Ellen just sadly smiled. Bella sat down next to her and let the men in the front seats.
She got used to Ellen´s presence, she had no problem with her being a human. It hasn´t been for so long since she was changed.
Few minutes later they arrived into Cullen residence. Carlisle took over her child so she could get out of the car and carried her upstairs.
The door opened and Ellen could see a small young woman, probably at the age of Bella saying: " the room is ready…"
Edward commented: " I texted my sister…..Ellen, this is Alice…..Alice, this is a friend of ours, Ellen…"
Alice smiled and let them all enter the house. She led them into one of the guest rooms and talked: " So here you will both sleep…there is a big double bed, so don´t worry, you will have enough space…." Ellen couldn´t belive it, she treated them so nicely even though they have just met.
Then she left and let Carlisle lay the little sweetheart down on the bed.
She thanked but he just softly touched her shoulder: " Don't worry, Ellen, it is fine, really….. "
She sat down on the bed and still couldn´t believe it. Edward brought her the bag and left the room.
Carlisle remained the last and tried to comfort her: " Ellen, try to have a good night sleep, you might have some headache, but don´t worry, it will be alright…" She wished him a good night too and he closed the door with a smile.
Ellen changed clothes and laid next to her daughter. She was caressing face and watched as she was hugging her baby doll friend.
She realized that the change of the environment really did her good. She weeped softly not to wake the child but slowly everything was coming back.
She wanted to sleep but she coudln´t. Instead she had a terrible headache. When she couldn´t hold on, she went to the adjoining bathroom to drink a bit of water. She hoped it would help.
She was almost falling asleep when she heard soft knocks on the door. She raised the head and could see Bella´s brown long hair and smile on her face: " Can´t you sleep?" Ellen replied: " you cannot either?" Bella waved the hand: "I am a night owl, I go usually very late…..you in pain?"
Ellen just nodded: " Yeah, I tried to drink some water but I think my head is a mess right now…."
Bella entered the room and gave her something into the palm: " Carlisle sends these to you, take them…..you´ll sleep better…." Ellen thanked and drank them with the glass of water that Bella gave her. After thanking her, she laid back on the bed and in few minutes she fell asleep.
Ellen woke up and couldn´t first remind where she was. What happened? Where is she?
And where is her daughter? She didn´t remind that she would have allowed her anything.
She looked at the watch on the small table next to the big bed and panicked. It was almost 11 am, she was supposed to be at work and Patricia at school.
That is going to be a big problem. Hopefully, she won´t be fired….
She must phone to work immediately. And find Patricia too.
Before she could do anything, somebody knocked on the door and Alice came in with some breakfast on the plate: " I prepared you some breakfast, I hope you´ll like it… I am not a very good cook."
Ellen wondered at her, nobody has prepared her some food for so long. She tasted one of the pancakes and they were really yummy.
Ellen asked: " Alice, right? I am in a big trouble….." She was surprised: " Why?"
Ellen put her hand on the knee: " I missed work today…."
Alice waved the hand: " Don´t worry, dear….Carlisle phoned there as your doctor and he requested a day off for you because of a head injury…"
Ellen stared: " Wow….. I can´t believe it…."
She wanted to add something but Alice continued: " And Patricia is at school, Edward and Bella drove her there in the morning. We couldn´t allow the child miss the time with her school friends, right? "
Ellen wondered: " I must be dreaming, you really took care of everything…"
Alice hugged her: " Come on, we wanted to make sure you sleep properly… the bruise doesn´t look good…."
She wanted to say something but they were both disturbed by knocking on the door: " Good morning?... How did you sleep?"
Alice stood up, took away Ellen´s empty plate and let her dad enter the room.
Ellen tried to smile: " Yes, very well…much better than I would have expected….."
He sat down next to her: " I am glad the pills helped you to sleep…" She nodded: " Thank you for them…."
He checked her head again, especially the bruise which grew really a lot.
He commented: " You are lucky to have the fringe, nothing is visible through it…."
She smiled sadly: " Really, thank you for everything…. I still cannot believe it, you barely know me and you invite us to your house, do so much for us…. I can´t recall anyone every doing something like this for me…."
He softly touched her hand: " You really don´t need to thank us….. As we have told you, you are a friend of this family and friends help each other…"
She wanted to protest: " But still…. You couldn´t …."
He stopped her by putting his finger on her lips: " As I said…. We wanted to help you….it really doesn´t bother us…."
She was surprised by the gesture but stayed silent.
He continued: " Your child is really lovely.
She woke up and helped me with her breakfast, she talked all the time. She is really so friendly…."
Ellen just watched and he added: " Edward and Bella really like her, they took care of our little niece when she was here on holidays, so they enjoy Patricia´s company and so do I. She is really an amazing princess…."
Ellen wanted to ask about his children but didn´t want to intrude in his privacy.
He and his kids have already done so much for her and Patty. She couldn´t understand, she felt so calm in his company.
She knew him just for one single day but she felt she could trust this man. He stood up and asked: " Would you like to see the house and surroundings?"
She replied immediately: " I would love to, I just need few minutes for shower and changing my clothes…" He laughed: " Of course…take your time…I will be downstairs."
With these words he silently closed the door and left down the stairs.
He headed for his book and didn´t notice that Alice was watching him again. This couldn´t escape Jasper´s notice.
He already knew his wife and realized that there must have been some sort of vision again.
Alice didn´t seem to be concerned so he thought that it must be something very positive.
And definitely connected to Carlisle.
