HELLO awesome people. Yes. I am back. Why I was late? well because I got my first job ever and it's hectic. I'm currently editing my older chapters and damn it the mistakes I had were plenty but thankfully I'm a little better at this.

PS: I don't own Twilight or any of its characters. ENJOY. I wrote it fast because i was busy so I hope you'll like it.


Chapter 13

The next day all I had to do was stay at home but of course I didn't. Edward told Sam and Lily in the morning that they are going to the park and later watch a movie. They wanted me to come with them but I told them that I needed to have a day to relax. I cleaned my room and then I planned to go to the beach. The sun was shining bright and I was happy because I needed a tan so badly.

When I went downstairs, I saw Esme having her breakfast. I decided to skip breakfast but I was interpreted with Esme calling my name.

I entered the kitchen and smiled saying, "yes."

She seemed uncomfortable for a second there. She looked up and said, "how's your mom?"

That was a weird question because she has never asked me before about my parents. "She's good."

"Okay that's great." Esme stated.

I moved towards her and asked her, "why are you asking?"

She frowned and said, "Nothing. I just wanted to know."

I snarled saying, "Why do you care?"

"Of course I care about. I always have." Esme's face changed when she said it, like she just spelled a secret to me.

"Look Bella. Your mom and I had our differences in the past but I always think about her because she was my best friend."

I crossed my arms saying, "so tell me what happened?"

She stood up and walked towards me saying, "I can't. If I tell you right now, your mom will be mad because she'll think that I'm try to justify things so please when you go home. Go, ask her."

I shook my head saying, "I seriously do not care. I hate I don't know what's going but I will ask her and I'm going to call her today. I have to go. Take care."

I left the house and went straight to the beach. I just wanted to clear my head from what Esme had told me.

When I reached the beach, I applied spray all over body. The spray said that it might help me to get a good tan. I didn't believe in all of these but I had to try because my pale skin was giving me a headache. I saw some people surfing and I wished that I could be like them.

After thirty minutes of lying down and reading John Green's book Paper Towns, I decided to go for a swim. I wasn't the perfect swimmer but I wasn't bad either. I was half way swimming and drifting away from the people around me until I saw a boy who looked like a 10 year old waving his hand and at the same time the water was sucking him deep down. He was within the same extension from me but he was far away. So I swam hard and fast towards him. I looked to my right and I saw some people swimming towards him. He was far away from them too. Since I was swimming fast, I couldn't see properly from the water. I could feel the water blurring my eyes and slightly burning them.

I tried to remind myself that two seconds and I'll be there but after one minute, I reached him and then held him up and swam till towards the people. I couldn't balance us both because he went silent and all of a sudden he relaxed and Heavy. I kept saying to myself to keep calm and he is alive. I was drowning but I had to push him forward or else he would drown again. I was trying my best to hold until I felt him taken away from me and someone grabbing me. I looked to my side, I couldn't see anyone clearly like a blurred figure and then everything went blank.

I felt someone speaking and touching my hand. I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't because I felt them burning so I started to move my hands and then I started to wonder why can't I open them?... I took a deep breath and then I panicked.

I started sobbing saying, "who's there? Where am I? Why can't I see anything?"

An unknown voice said, "Bella, you need to relax. I'm a nurse, you are in the hospital and you can't see because you were deeply injured from the salty water of the beach."

What? Beach? Salty water? Oh the boy then I said In a frightful voice, " and how's the boy? The one who was drowning."

I hated I couldn't open my eyes and I just wanted to go and check on him.

"He is in the ICU. Hopefully he'll wake up soon. We are praying for him but you need to relax Bella. Okay?"

Oh God... All I could think was how young he was and I had failed to help him. I twitched and I started to cry more and to sob over what had happened.

"Bella please... You need to stop doing this. You can't do this because you eyes need some time to ease off the pain."

I tried to collect myself until I heard Edward, "Oh God. Bella." I moved uncomfortable and then I felt a rough hand touching me. "Bella, are you awake? God..."

The nurse interpreted him saying, "she is awake but she can't open her eyes due to the amount of salty water."

I felt him squeezing my hand and later he said in a low voice, "Bella. Say something."

I didn't know what to say but I started sobbing hard saying, "I can't open my eyes Edward. I can't open them."

He clutched my hand tightly and I could feel the heat between us. "Bella, you need to relax. Please."

I couldn't open my eyes. I hated how I could hear him but I couldn't see him. I couldn't see his eyes or what the room looked like.

I turned to the way his voice came and said, "where are Sam and Lily?"

"When we finished, I took them to the house and my mom told me that you are going to the beach. So I decided to go and see my friends when you dialed me; however, it wasn't you. They said it was the recent number you called. I thought you wanted something; I freaked out when they called me saying that you were injured and stuff. I came directly to you. I didn't even call my parents."

I took a deep breath and said, "Edward, please don't tell Sam and Lily. I can't handle them being sad and miserable. It was supposed to be there vacation. I don't know. Come up with a good excuse. Say that I had to leave because my mom and dad wanted me to complete my vacation with them and tell them I'll call them tomorrow okay?"

He cleared his throat and said, "Okay. I'll do that but first I have to tell mom and dad. I'll be back in a minute."

When Edward left the room, I felt the pressure was back again. For a moment there, I forgot about all the bad things about him. He was soothing me and trying to make me feel better but I felt it was his way to pity me.


So? I hope you liked it. Please review if you enjoyed it and hopefully I'll see you next week.
