Hello :) and let us continue where we had left off.
I was awoken a few hours later by an unknown presence but I felt like someone was watching me. I shrugged off the feeling and picked up the pillows I had flung off the couch while I was asleep. I made sure that the couch was cleaned up before I started to make dinner for Charlie and I. I turned on the stove and began to fillet a fish on a cutting board as the pan heats up.
"Bella I am back." Charlie calls out as he enters the house. He walks into the kitchen and sniffs the air. "What is that delicious smell?" I smile at his question. "It is dinner." I answer back and he nods."Thanks for making this, while I was at work Bells." I chuckled when I heard his old nickname for me. "You haven't called me that since I was little." I say and He smiles widely.
"You will always be little to me, Bells." He then wraps me up in a big hug and picks me off the ground. "Dad, Please put me down." I gasp out as I laugh."Okay then." He then brings me into the living room and throws me onto the couch. I smile and look up at him, he is wearing a goofy smirk on his face as well. "I missed this." I say and he looks at me confused. "You missed what?" He questions.
"I miss the time when I would play around like this all the time like there was nothing that could touch or hurt I have lost that wonder and seen the real world for what it truly is." I whisper sadly and his smile slides off his face. He looks at me with pain in his eyes. "I am sorry that I had to give you up to your mother. I am sorry I had never told you about our family. I am sorry that I could have never been in your childhood enough." He says as he sits down on the ground with his hands covering his face. I kneel down beside him and put my hand on his back.
"You have nothing to be sorry about. You tried to get custody of me but failed. You didn't know about the lion shifting until two days ago. You were the parent that I needed to have a childhood." I said and I awkwardly hugged him. He raised his head and looked at me teary eyed. "T-thank you." He then began to sob. "Why are you crying still?" I ask and he sniffles. "I cannot help but feel like this is my fault. It was my fault your life had to change because I wanted you to live with me. I was selfish and you becoming a lion shifter is my consequence." He then begins to sob once more and I rubbed his back soothingly.
We then sat in silence for a couple minutes as he cried until he calmed down. "Thank you." He mummers and I smile. We didn't say another after that for the rest of the night.
(NEXT MORNING)
I woke up to the alam on my phone ringing in my ear and I clumsily got out of bed. I put two slices of white bread into the toaster as I double checked my backpack for all my supplies. When the toast was finished I grabbed a jar of raspberry jam from the fridge. I layered the jam on top of the toast and took a bite out of it. After I got all of my stuff together I went outside and saw a small not on top of the hood an old Chevy pickup truck.
I picked up the note gently and It read.
Dear Bella,
I picked up this car for you so you do not have to walk to school today.
Have a great day- Charlie
Underneath the note was a key, and I unlocked the old car and turned it on. The Chevy came to life with a loud roar of the engine, startling me. I put the name of the school into my phone and I pulled out of the driveway. I park my car easily enough but as I get out of my car I can feel someone staring right at me. I stop for a few seconds and then turn around but there was no one behind me. I take a deep breath to try to calm down but my heart continues to race in my chest. I began to walk to the front office to get my schedule for my classes. A nicely dressed middle aged lady sat at the front desk with a small metal sign that said . She smiled at me and I smiled back. "How can I help you today, Dearie." She said in a sweet voice.
"Yes, I am Bell Swan. I just transferred here and I want to know if you have my class scheduele." She nodded and opened up a drawer with a few vanilla folders. She pulled one out titled B. Swan and handed it to me gingerly. I opened the folder and read my scheduele and then put the folder into my bag. "Thank you, Ma'am." I say. "You have a good day, and you should hurry on to class now." I nodded and scurried out the door.
Hey I have made my final decision but if you like this, pls leave a review because that encourages me to keep working on this.
