My eyes opened.

It was still dark out, but dawn was clearly approaching, as light streamed through the windows. Any other time I would have found the sight beautiful, but now…not so much.

I sat up. How did I get home…I didn't remember walking back home. I simply remembered falling. For some reason, it truly didn't seem to matter. Nothing mattered anymore.

I realized then that Charlie was sitting next to me, watching me closely. How had I not noticed before?

"Bella, what happened?" Charlie asked. "You were alone in the woods. You fainted."

I looked at him but said nothing.
