Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound and how raindrops taste like tears without pain
Carrie hadn't gone far it seemed. When she didn't return five minutes after storming out Billy had sent Embry to find her. They found her sitting just inside the woods,planted on a fallen log watching the sky over her. The steel grey coloring of the world made her scars stand even further.
"You have Billy worried"Embry said softly,taking a seat next to the girl. She didn't flinch from him being close,but he did notice her hands clenching into fist.
"Sorry...I just can't be there with her"
"Do you really hate Bella that much?"
Embry was surprised at the bark of laughter the girl gave. He had pegged her as a quiet laughing kinda girl. Seemed he was wrong.
"Bella is.........I don't really hate my cousin. I just want her to shut up half the time"
"The other half?"
"I wanna give her a hug...with my hands around her throat"
The violent thought didn't faze Embry. He could almost understand from looking at her. The scars that covered her body were violent and had to have taken time. It made sense to him that her mind was slightly twisted from it all.
Carrie lifted her left hand again,showing him more clearly the missing finger. It seemed that after it was taken off someone pressed heat against it. Embry couldn't help the flinch his body gave at that thought.
"Yeah,a lot of people do that"She folding her fingers back in"Seems like they can look at my face,at my body without much thought,but losing a finger sickened them"
"Does...does it affect how you work and write?"
"Nah,I'm right handed"
They had spent close to an hour chatting on that log. Embry soon learned that only one or two of the wounds still hurt,and that everything else was what the doctor's were calling "phantom pains". Carrie learned about the rez school and that one Monday they'd be in class together.
"So why here?"
"Gotta be clearer"
"Why come out to Forks,wouldn't staying in New York have helped?"
They were headed back inside,Billy having called them in for lunch. Carrie paused in her steps,rolling her neck and shoulders as she thought.
"My parents claimed my death."
...
Billy and the boys left after lunch,Edward staying with Bella. Carrie was in the living room again. Papers of her old fashion designs were spread over the pull out bed. Even with all her scars and pills,she wasn't going to lose her fashion career.
Tapping her red pen against a sheet of paper she didn't notice Charlie walk in and watch her silently.
"Heard you and Bella got into a fight."
"Not really. Bella needs to learn to listen to others"
Charlie frowned at that. It was true that every time Bella and Carrie met they always seemed to get into a fight about one thing or another. The girls weren't friends,though no one in the family knew what started it all.
"You could try to be kinder to your cousin Carrie"
"Me? I tell her that I don't want to talk about my wounds,and she keeps pressing it! If anything she should be the one getting this talk!"
"Don't yell at me Carrie! She's your cousin,and like it or not she was here first! If you two don't get along I will send you home"
When Carrie fell silent at that threat Charlie thought he won the fight. Turning away he noticed that Bella and Edward had come into the living room as well. Bella seemed almost...smug,about it all.
"Bella,if Carrie doesn't want to talk about her wounds stop asking her."
"Charlie...Carrie's stopped breathing"Edward pushed past him to Carrie,who true to his words was turning blue in the face. He guided the girl to her knees,taking care to keep her hair out of her face.
"She's having a panic attack. Charlie get those little blue pills on the table please"
Charlie did as he was told,passing over one of the blue pills. Carrie,who was now hyperventilating,had some troubles getting the pill down. After two minutes Edward finally managed to get her to swallow.
"Carrie,are you okay?"
"I'm...fine. Please...I...wanna be...alone now"Her words were choppy and she was still gasping for air. Charlie wanted to argue,but Carrie left the room on wobbly legs. The door to the upstairs bathroom shut behind her.
"Bella,please. Go with Edward"
"Dad?"
"Just go Bella"
Edward nodded slightly,leading Bella out of the living room and out of the house. when the door shut behind them Charlie sank onto the pull out mattress. He didn't mean the threat,he knew that sending her back to New York wasn't going to happen.
He just couldn't understand why the girls didn't get along. Why they almost couldn't get along. When Carrie came out of the bathroom he'd make her understand that she didn't have to worry about leaving
