Chapter 4

BPOV

Charlie and I sat for what felt like hours. He did most of the talking, but every so often I would comment about something that had happened. I could tell it made him happy that I was paying attention. There was one question I had to ask though. “How are you feeding yourself?” He looked a little embarrassed. “I’ve been eating at the diner.” I cringed inwardly. It was my fault he had no one to prepare meals for him.

I looked out the window and the sun was set. I could see Matt crossing the room. I knew it was time for Charlie to go and time for me to go back to my room. Suddenly I didn’t want to leave. I knew it was irrational, but someone was playing the piano the whole time I was talking and I felt connected to it. When Charlie saw Matt approaching he stood up and looked down at me expectantly. I couldn’t move. The very thought of leaving the beautiful music paralyzed me. I gazed up at Charlie with fear in my eyes. “Bells?” he asked. Matt was now standing next to him. “Come on Bella it’s time to go.” I just shook my head and began edging away from him. Matt looked at me in surprise and what I thought was a bit of annoyance.
He took a step forward and I shot upright, but continued to back away from him. “I don’t want to go. I want to stay here. Please don’t make the music stop.” I was begging and I didn’t even care. “Bella you have to go back to your room. You can’t stay here all night.” Matt said as he continued to advance on me. I did the only thing I could think of, I put the piano between us. “Bella, please don’t be difficult. You don’t want to cause a scene in front of Charlie.” Charlie! I had forgotten he was still here. He was looking at me with pity and disappointment. He thought I was better and this just proved how broken I really was. While I was looking at Charlie, Matt came up behind me and grabbed both my arms. I screamed. “Get off me! Let me go! I don’t want to leave! Please just let me stay! Dad!! Daddy!!!!” Matt was dragging me father away from the only salvation I had found, the sweet peaceful piano music.
Matt threw me rather roughly onto my bed and crossed the room back to the door. He looked back at me one time. “I will be back with your medication after I talk with Dr. Thomas.” With that he walked out. I jumped off the bed and ran to the door, I knew it was useless, but I had to try anyway. I pulled on the handle and ranted and raved until I sank to the floor in exhaustion. Just when I had lost all hope of getting back to the piano, the door opened. But it did not lead to the relief I was seeking. Matt stood there with my medication in his hand. I tried to push past him, but he was too big. He grabbed my arm and dragged me back to the bed. “Bella you are making this harder than it needs to be. Stop struggling!” In one quick movement he had injected the sedative into my stationary arm. I felt the drugs take hold almost immediately. My last thought before I slipped into my dreamless sleep was that this happened much faster than normal. They must have increased the dose.
CharliePOV

Bella was talking! I couldn’t believe it. We sat and talked until the sun set. She was attentive the whole time, even asking me a question. “How are you feeding yourself?” I looked a little embarrassed. “I’ve been eating at the diner.” Luckily I was saved from having to say more by the arrival of Matt. I stood up getting ready to leave and I looked down at Bella. She looked terrified. “Bells?” I didn’t know what could cause this kind of reaction. She knew Matt. He was here to take her to bed. “I don’t want to go. I want to stay here. Please don’t make the music stop.” She was begging to stay by the piano and I had no idea why.

“Bella you have to go back to your room. You can’t stay here all night.” Matt said as he continued to move toward her. She had moved so the piano was between them. “Bella, please don’t be difficult. You don’t want to cause a scene in front of Charlie.” It sounded like Matt was scolding a child. Something about it seemed off, but it got Bella to look at me. I could tell she had forgotten I was here. It made me sad for her and disappointed at the same time.
She seemed like she was really getting better, but it seemed like I was wrong. While she looked at me, Matt managed to get a hold of both her arms. Bella did not like that one bit. She screamed and struggled and tried to kick Matt in the shins. “Get off me! Let me go! I don’t want to leave! Please just let me stay! Dad!! Daddy!!!!” It broke my heart to hear her yelling for me as she was dragged away. I knew it was for the best but it was still hard to see. I waited for awhile to see if Matt or Dr. Thomas would come tell me what was going on, but no one came.
The drive home was hard. The longer I thought about Bella screaming for me the worse I felt. By the time I got home I was having one giant pity party, so I went to sit in Bella’s room. I sat on her bed for while and thought about what I had lost. My ex-wife left me and took my baby girl with her, Bella stopped coming to visit for the summers, and just when I thought I got her back…the Cullens leave and take her away from me again.
I sighed and stood up. It was not doing any good to dwell on the past. As I walked to the door the floor creaked. I paused. That wasn’t there before. I know because I checked before Bella moved in. I knelt down and searched for a loose board. I pulled it up and to my surprise there was something there. I pulled out an envelope with three pictures in it and a CD.
I looked at the pictures briefly and saw that they were of Edward and Bella. The difference in dynamics of the pictures was amazing and it made me wonder what happened to make things change so quickly. I put them aside and studied the CD for a moment before I stood up and went to the stereo in Bella’s room and put the CD in. I listened to the first song and didn’t recognize it so I flipped through the rest of the songs. I knew it was someone playing the piano but I didn’t know who. I took the CD and brought it with me when I went downstairs. I didn’t know what I was going to do with it yet but I figured I should keep it just in case. I grabbed a beer from the fridge and went to the living room to watch the game.

I woke with a start and looked at the clock. 3:00 AM. Wow I must have fallen asleep after the game. I got up and went to the kitchen to throw out the beer can I had dropped on the floor. I saw the CD sitting on the table and it hit me like lightning bolt. Bella was upset today because she had to stop listen to the piano music. Well what if I brought this CD to the hospital? She could listen to piano music all the time. It seemed like a perfect idea and I told myself I would bring it her tomorrow. I trudged up the stairs with a new sense of hope.

A/N: Sooo….I started writing this chapter with more action in mind, but I got to over 1000 words and decided that I would post it now. I promise things are going to start happening…Review please!!
