I think that headache after you cry is just to let you know your still alive
Carrie stared deeply into the bathroom's mirror. The harsh lights were making her eyes burn, but she needed to do this. Needed to retake the image that had formed in the mirror,otherwise she'd go crazy during school.
The same soft green eyes from a year ago stared back at her,set in the same pale skin stretched over a diamond shaped face. Marred by a scar at her left eye,and on her cheeks. A Glasgow Smile is what the doctors called it. A voice rang through her head as she traced a finger over the scars.
"Don't cry for me love........smile"
Phantom pains pulled at her face,but she kept looking. She had thinned during the year she was gone. Her skin was pulled painfully at each burn. The brands "MINE" itched whenever she moved or walked anywhere,but were no longer on the verge of reopening.
Under the tank she knew were knife scars. Wounds that never really healed due to her escape from her torturer. Infection had set in as she ran,settling in for the long haul. She was careful with those,knowing that if they reopened even a little she'd be in the hospital again.
Pushing her hair out of her face she thought back to how it used to look. Her hair,still the same shade of brown that almost matched Bella's,was limp and thin now. It held neon blue streaks through it,a favor from from of the nurses to "cheer her up". Oddly enough,it worked.
Sighing softly she left the bathroom and headed downstairs. Her panic attacks always left her bone tired. Charlie was sitting on the bed,in his hands was an old family photo album. The red binding showed it was the Christmas album.
"Come look"
Sitting next to her uncle she flipped the pages,each holding glossy pictures of her childhood. Some were just of Bella's family,some of just her's,and a few of both. If she remembered correctly,it was the one time of year Bella's parents could stand to be in the same room together.
"You know I could never throw you out."
"I know,but with mom and dad having filed me dead......I'm still not sure how I'm even alive after all that. What if I did die? What if this is just my version of heaven?"
"Being scared to hell and back,having panic attacks and pills? No dear,this isn't heaven. If anything it'd be your hell."
"You're right......Bella's here"
....
Monday came far to quickly. Thankfully spared the car ride with her cousin,Embry having talked Jacob into picking her up,her day was starting out alright. Parking the Rabbit as Jacob called his car,Carrie looked up at her new high school.
"Anything like your old one in New York?"Quil asked,slamming the car door shut behind them.
"I went to Horace Mann. It was a private Pre-K to 12th grade school and my tuition was 37,275 dollars a year. This is nothing like my old school"Carrie answered with a laugh.
Thankfully Carrie didn't have any classes with Bella. Missing her an entire year of school she was left back a grade behind her cousin. This was cool with her since it placed her with Embry and the others. The stares were minimal,but that may be because the first teacher,math oddly enough,had told the students that anyone caught staring was getting detention.
"Did anyone else find it odd a math teacher defended me?"Carrie asked during lunch,tapping her fork at the edge of her tray.
"Why? What were the math teachers like in your old school?"
"The devil. I think my 6th grade math teacher was pedo. He'd come up behind the girls who were wearing low cut shirts and put his hands on their shoulders"She shivered playfully,smiling softly.
The table chuckled,relaxing into their seats slightly. It was nice,though it made her miss her old friends. Lunch was never a quiet affair at her table,always laughing loudly or singing at the top of their lungs.
Lunch ended and next was Gym class. Due to her chest and back wounds Carrie had to sit the lesson,Basketball,out. She acted as a cheer team instead,since Embry,Jacob,and Quil were in the same team.
...
One car ride home,and a promise to spend her weekend at La Push,Carrie was finally back at her uncle's place. The police cruiser was pulled up,a sign that Charlie was back.
"Lucy,I'm hooome!" Goddess it fells good to say that again.
Charlie came out of the kitchen chuckling softly. He ruffled her hair playfully. It was an old habit that she was thankful the two didn't grow out of.
"Any homework today?"
"Yeah,since it was my first day but not the first day of school. I have some homework,nothing I can't handle."Carrie lifted her patchwork backpack in point.
"Alright,dinner will done in a few"
"Alright."
Only a weekend with her Uncle and she was already resettling into a 'normal' life. Maybe healing would come quicker than she hoped.
Whoa....why did my mind suddenly flash to Embry?
