Disclaimer: Don't own nothing…. So sad… sniff, sniff.
Ok in this story Bella's mother died and Phil would molest her. She has flickers sometimes… a lot actually of her past those will be in italic with hyphens around it. Example - -the rain fell- etc.
Thanks
BOOMM!!
There was a storm a thunder one. I was terrified of thunder. Lightning too. Don't know why just always have been. It terrified the life out of me. Currently I was in a cocoon of blankets hidden in my closet shaking up a storm of my own.
Drip.
Another drip of sweat stained my already soaked shirt and top of the blanket near my face.
Flash.
My room was continuously lit up. I could see it through the cracks of my closet door. The lightning lit up my closet every time as well.
(--)
I was hiding in behind all of my clothes using them as a shield… not that that would do much if my closet started up on fire, I would probably have more chance of dying.
-Are your hands cold Bella?-
My mother. My friend. The only one I ever felt close to and then one day she just died. I mean I knew she was going to die. I saw it. I knew how long she had left at only five years old. I knew when everyone was going to die for that matter.
-Bella, Bella shh…-
Tears ran down my face further soaking my shirt.
-But mommy you're going to die-
The flickers weren't usually this bad. Just during storms.
I hated the flickers. They were too much of a reminder of what happened to put me here in Forks with Charlie. I knew better than to tell anyone about the flickers and numbers. The numbers that one day just appeared the numbers that counted down somebody's life. I knew better then to talk about them. They weren't normal.
I remember that day well. It was the day everything changed. Mom went out grocery shopping slightly sulking because her father just died. She was also getting some thing for my birthday party in a few days. When she returned home she was smiling so hugely I thought her face would fall off.
FLASHBACK
"Why are you smiling mommy" I remember asking.
"Because my dearest Bella. I met a man"
"What?" I asked
"Maybe one day he'll be your new daddy" she replied.
"Oh!" I had squealed. Of course at that time I had no idea what was going to happen to me.
END OF FLASHBACK
Phil. The single word alone sent shivers down my spine. At first I tried to put up with it because he mad Renee so happy. She was smiling all the time. She sang so loud in the shower and when Phil spent the night sometimes she would practically make a feast. She never made that much food before.
She baked all the time.
Then one day she just announced.
"Bella, Phil's going to move into this house with us." I tried to smile. I mean I was seven now and I knew it was wrong. My mother didn't seem to understand my sudden interest in black clothing or why I was always wearing longs sleeves and pants in Phoenix but shrugged it off. Like it was a phase.
I knew Phil wouldn't die anytime soon either. I had begun to figure the numbers out. The other day my mother had taken me shopping with her and there was am an with 0.9 above his head. He was walking and reading a newspaper at the same time stepped onto the road and got hit by a vehicle. Died instantly.
-Our little secret-
BOOM!!
The thunder just continued on lightning flashing soon after. I was beginning to fall asleep. Then thunder woke me up again. It had to be at least four in the morning. I new when I moved here with Charlie it would rain a lot and I knew I would hate it but unfortunately I had no choice.
I heard some shuffling from the hallway. My door open.
"Bells." Someone said sleepily.
I didn't recognize the voice at first but then I realized it was Charlie. What was Charlie doing in here?
"Yea" I murmured. He seemed to know where I would be. He walked over to the closet and opened the door at the same time the thunder crashed and a tree brushed against the window. It creeped me out and I let out a shriek and crushed myself back farther.
-Oh Bella-
-Do you want some ice cream-
-Touch it-
I cried out and more tears started to fall down my face.
"Bella, What's wrong?" Charlie asked
I just shook my head not able to answer
-You cant resist me-
I looked up at Charlie reassuringly and checked his numbers. Right above his head. Hanging there off of invisible threads. Moving as he moved. He still had quite a few years. I smiled. I wonder how long I had left. I wonder if anyone else could see the numbers.
"Bells, lets get you back in bed, and your probably going to want to change. From the looks of it your clothes are soaked." Charlie said. He was so nice. I really did like Charlie. If only Renee had stayed here with him maybe my life would have turned out different. I had come here during the summers and I loved it. It got me away from Phil.
But it wasn't a long enough time. I stopped coming at 15 because Phil forbid it. He made me lie to Renee about it. And I have never been a very good liar so it was difficult but I finally made her keep me here.
I was afraid to sleep. I was afraid to be alone. And then because of that single night I became afraid of many more things.
Silence. Thunder. Lightning. Fire. Knives. And bugs. The things he did with those bugs. The horrors that were stuck in mind from a single night.
Nobody realizes that only a few hours can change your entire life. Your entire personality. Your entire being.
Until it happens to them.
A/N ok I need to know what you think of it because if no body likes it I have no purpose in continuing it so… if you like it review it. Otherwise I have no reason to continue. And if its criticism then review as well please.
