Chapter 2 BPOV Matt told me I was going to get to see the recreation area today. I had no idea why; I wasn’t making any progress. I wasn’t even curious about what was there, but I went with Matt anyway when he came in to take my untouched lunch tray away. (They were still hoping I was going to start to eat regular food). Matt brought me to a big open room with large windows on two of the walls (with bars of course, they didn’t want any of us crazy people escaping). There were other patients around, some were with visitors, while others were painting or drawing. It was supposed to be therapeutic I guess. As I looked around the room, one person caught my eye. A girl not much younger than me was sitting in the corner not doing anything. She was just sitting, yet she looked familiar. I just couldn’t place her. While I tried to place the girl in my head a new sound caught my attention. I looked around quickly with more interest than I had shown for months. This did not go unnoticed by my shadow, Matt. “Bella? Do you like the piano? It’s right over there. Would you like to play?” I was walking toward it before I even realized that I was moving. As I drew closer I slowed down, afraid if I got to close the music would stop, just like it did when he left. When I finally saw who was playing, it was like someone punched me in the chest. It wasn’t him. I knew it wouldn’t be of course. Why would he come back for me? A large warm hand landed on my shoulder suddenly. I jumped away looking quickly for the source. Matt stood behind me looking stunned. I knew he was surprised by my reaction. It was more than I had shown in the month I had been here. I guess hearing the piano shocked my senses back into some form of working order. Suddenly the room seemed brighter and more crowded. I backed myself into the closest corner and sank to the floor. Matt walked up to me slowly. “It’s ok Bella. Let’s just get you back to your room. Ok?” He reached down and picked me up like I was nothing and carried me down the hall to my room. I was so shaken by what I had heard in that room that he sedated me sooner than normal. As the sedative pulled me under, I thought I felt Matt run his hands down my sides and just skim the outside of my breast, but I couldn’t be sure as I was pulled under by the drugs. CharliePOV I was going to visit Bella today. I hoped she was making progress but I wasn’t getting my hopes up. As I drove to Seattle I couldn’t help but dwell and the last visit…it was painful to say the least. ****Flashback****** I walked into the hospital and I went to the desk to sign in. The nurse there asked me to empty my pockets of everything. You weren’t allowed to bring anything in that might be dangerous to the patients. After she was satisfied that I was fit to enter, she told me to follow her. And follow her I did. We walked through the door behind the desk and down the hall to a small waiting room. “Her doctor will be right with you. Please have a seat.” So I sat and waited and wondered what the doctor would have to tell me this week. “Mr. Swan welcome back.” He startled me. I didn’t hear him approach. ”Dr. Thomas. I would say it was good to see you, but considering the circumstance—“. I stopped speaking when he held up his hand. “Of course. Let me give you an update on Bella’s progress and then I will take you to see her. She is still refusing to eat and gives no reaction to people coming or going. She won’t speak and needs to be sedated to sleep.” I cut him off there. “So basically she is no better than when I brought her in.” Dr. Thomas looked me in the eye, “While it is true that she has not made any improvement, she is getting the necessary help. We are taking it one step at a time. I will take you to see her now.” I followed him down another hallway to the door at the end. As we entered the room, I saw a familiar sight that was just as heartbreaking as always. My baby girl was sitting on her bed staring into space. And just like Dr. Thomas has said she gave no indication that she even knew I was there. I sat with her and told her all about things at home and at work. After an hour, I could take it anymore. I got up told her I loved her and left. ****End Flashback**** That was a week ago. As I pulled up to the hospital I said a prayer to whatever god was listening that Bella had made some progress. I walked up to the front desk and told the nurse who I was here to see. The procedure was the same as always. I had to empty my pockets and followed her into the back where I waited for Dr. Thomas to come update me on my daughter. “Mr. Swan, I am glad to see you. You came on a good day. Bella ate solid food this morning and she is even out of her room. Would you like to see her now?” My jaw dropped and I stared at him with amazement. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. We walked down the hall but this time we didn’t enter her room we turned the corner and walked into the recreation area. I looked around for her and finally found her sitting on the floor next to the piano listening to another patient play. She looked different. Not happy exactly but peaceful. For the first time in a long time I had hope again. “What brought on this change?” The doctor looked at Bella for a moment longer before answering. “Yesterday we brought her out here to see if she would show any change in behavior. She reacted to the music on the piano so much that Matt, her orderly, thought it would be a good idea to see if he could persuade her to eat something if he promised to take her to the piano again. I think this was the push we needed. Is there any reason you can think of that she would enjoy the piano so much?” I thought about it for a minute and couldn’t come up with anything. “No. Her mother wanted to play at some point, but like most of her plans it fell through. I guess Bella must have liked it more than she let on.” I walked over to where Bella was sitting on the floor and sat down next to her. “Bella?” She kept looking at the piano. I tried again. “Bella, it’s me Charlie.” After a minute of sitting and waiting, she turned her head and looked at me “Dad?” A/N: Well Bella’s eating (a little), talking, and showing interest in something, things are looking up…for now. If you are confused about anything feel free to PM me and I will get back to asap. Leave me a note...you know you want to…even if it to tell me how much I suck… ;) PS...this story is complete I'm just uploading the chapters. And I know some of the first chapters get repetitive but I don't have time to do a rewrite at this moment so bear with me.
