What I wanted to happen at the end of New Moon. Bella, Carlisle, and Edward's POV
Chapter 1
Bella POV
It's been five months since they left. Ever since I haven't been eating too much, and I never get any sleep. If I am lucky enough to sleep I end up waking in the middle of the night screaming. It was just yesterday I noticed how skinny I've gotten. It's a good thing I don't wear close-fitted clothes often.
As I walked into my house after school I did the same thing as always, went up to my room, did my homework, and checked my email…except…something was different. I realized that I wasn't logged onto my email account. It was Charlie's. When I went to log out a name caught my eye…
"Dr. Carlisle Cullen?" I spoke aloud.
He emailed Charlie?! I opened the email and it looks like it wasn't the first time they've talked…the first email was sent…a MONTH ago?! Screw privacy, I have to see what they've been saying.
"Dear Charlie,
Hello. I was emailing because I am concerned about Bella despite my sons irrational decisions. The last time I saw her she was in poor condition. I would very much appreciate if you would reply with anything. I will do whatever I can to help.
My regards,
Carlisle." Uh-oh…at least I keep up the façade for Charlie.
"Carlisle,
I'm worried about her. She tries to put on a face for me but I see through it. You see the amount of effort she gives just to put on her face and it pains me. Her eyes are dead. It's like she's not there anymore. She barely eats and when she does she picks. She doesn't sleep, when she does she wakes up screaming. At first I would always run to her to see if she was alright but now it's constant whenever she can get to sleep. When I would run to her room she would be sobbing and then notice I was there, scrub her eyes and say she's fine. I'm worried Carlisle. I need help.
-Charlie" NO! I thought he believed my face…it was all for nothing. I might as well stop trying.
"Charlie,
I'm so sorry . What can I do to help? Edward hasn't been around. He's been…visiting relatives. He's coming back for a month, than he's going off again. I'm afraid I won't be able to email for that while. Keep me updated, please.
-Carlisle"
'Visiting relatives?' I know he won't email for that month because Edward would read it in his mind..wait. The last message was three weeks ago. This means Edward is still there…but there's a new message..hmm..I'll read what Charlie said first.
"Carlisle,
I'm hoping you read this soon. I'm panicking. Bella is getting too skinny. Her normal clothes are literally falling off her. She doesn't do anything at all. She used to just work, do her homework, and study. Now, her grades are slipping and her hours are being cut back. All her free time she's in her room. Yesterday I noticed all her CD's in the trash, along with some of her books. The Classics that she loves…or at least used to…she never watches TV…she doesn't even bother trying to smile to try and fool me. Then I realized she was avoiding anything to remind her of him. Most mornings when I get up she's sitting on her bed-eyes bloodshot from not sleeping-staring at the wall with a distant gaze on her face and she doesn't notice anything around her…like a zombie or something. This morning she fells down the last two steps on the stairs and didn't even have enough strength to pull herself up. She said she was just tired…I have no idea what to do. I thought maybe she should go back with Renee, live with her to forget all this. When Renee came and we were packing her things she walked into her room and froze. Then she starting screaming and shouting. She's never done that-not even as a child. Eventually she broke down crying for the first time since you guys left and I thought she would leave it behind after that. Now, its worse. Help me. I feel like I'm losing my daughter.
-Charlie"
Wow…I didn't realize all this. I'm glad I never collapsed when he was home. Good luck there-for once. Charlie would hit the roof if he knew that basically everyday I pass out. After I read Carlisle's most recent email-which he must have done quickly to keep it from him-stupid mind readers…
Carlisle's POV
"Charlie,
I'm deeply sorry for everything. I was afraid something like this might happen. I must ask-has she passed out or gotten ill lately? There is a large possibility that she has been collapsing with deprivation of sleep and lack of appetite.
-Carlisle"
I can't believe Bella is still going through this…what am I supposed to do?
"Carlisle," Alice said in a low tone as she entered my office, " I have to make this quick, Edward's on his way back from hunting."
"Yes?"
"I just had a two visions f Bella. And…they have be frightened.."
Oh no…"Alice, what happens?"
She looked down avoiding my gaze and whispered, " Well, one is Bella…coming home and collapsing on her way up the stairs…and…hitting her head….and…passing out…"
"I thought something like that might happen."
"And," she sucked in a shaky breath, "another…she's…well…she…" Alice started sobbing and I walked around the desk to comfort her, "she's…going to die if we don't help."
Shock struck me. I cannot allow this to happen. Maybe we should tell Edward…no. He would kill us if he knew. I can handle this on my own...and of course with Alice… I sob broke through my chest. She is like a daughter to me.
Edwards POV
Nothing is the same anymore. Maybe I should go back to Forks…check on her…
No. I promised her. I ran slow-for me-up to the path of our Denali home. Home. There's only one place that seemslike home to me…that second story window of my angel's house…
Maybe we should tell Edward…no. He would kill us if he knew. I can handle this on my own…and of course with Alice…She is like a daughter to me. Carlisle thought when I heard two sobs in the house.
What's going on? I faintly heard Alice murmur that I was near. What are they keeping from me? I am going to find out. Now. I ran lightening speed to Carlisle's office to find Alice and Carlisle hugging each other, immediately they looked up and greeted me.
Uh-oh…Edward doesn't look too happy… Alice thought.
"You are correct, Alice. Now tell me. NOW!" I roared.
"What are you talking about Edward?" She began naming all the elements on the periodic table in her thoughts and Carlisle focused on Esme.
"Stop blocking me! TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG! I HEARD YOU! What are you keeping from ME?!" Alice's eyes took over a glazed expression. Perfect. Hopefully her vision will give me a clue.
It was Bella. She looked sickly, her cheek bones were jutting out and her clothes were too loose. She was arriving home and opened the front door. Then, started heading up the stairs and suddenly when her foot landed on the eighth step she her legs gave out and she collapsed onto the floor, passing out. The outside suddenly became dark and she was still on the floor unconscious. Her eyelids fluttered open as soon as Charlie walked through the door.
"Bella?!" He ran and helped her up, "What happened are you okay?"
"Uh..yeah. I..I…just fell," She lied.
"Don't lie to me, Bells."
"I'm…not."
"Did you pass out?!"
"N-"
"Bella! This is serious! How often has this been happening?"
"I just…uhm..i-i-it just happened now. I'm j-j-just tired. Night, Ch-Dad." Charlie grabbed Bella's arm with little force but when he removed his hand she had a giant red mark left.
"This is crazy Bella! You need to eat! Sleep! Get on with your life! Its Friday go out with your friends! I'm sorry but this is crazy. You can't hold onto this forever. He got on with his life and I suggest you should too," Bella's eyes started to look uneasy, "You think that he's just sitting around moping all the like this? It's NOT HEALTHY BELLA! YOUR GONNA GIVE ME A STROKE! TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF! EDWARD-" Charlie stopped dead in his tracks when Bella clutched her arms around her ribs as if she was holding herself together and gasped. Her fluttered closed and then she fainted hitting her head on the ground, where a pool of blood started to show.
Alice gasped, "Oh no."
I couldn't just stand here and let this happen. My angel needed me. Promise or no promise, I was going to Forks. I stormed out of the house and started driving. In the vision Charlie mentioned it was Friday. That gives me one day. I should make it there in time.
EDWARD!! Carlisle and Alice yelled in their minds. I ignored them as I sped off onto the roads.
