Chapter 5
CharliePOV
I was in the kitchen making a pot of coffee the following morning. It was easier to be in here since I knew that Bella was making progress. Baby steps true, but it was better than nothing. I poured myself a cup of black coffee and sat down at the table to think. I stared at the CD on the table. Last night things were so clear. If Bella wanted music then I would bring her this and she would be fine, but what if it was hidden for a reason. I had no idea who the person playing was but what if it reminded her of Edward. I didn’t want to think about the consequences that would bring.
I wasn’t a doctor. I didn’t know what this would do to her, but Dr. Thomas might. So I picked up the CD grabbed my keys was out the door and on my way to Seattle before you could say Boo. I would let the professionals figure it out.
I meet with Dr. Thomas to discuss the CD idea. “Dr. Thomas, I found this CD hidden under a loose floorboard in Bella’s room. I don’t know exactly what it is other than someone playing the piano and I thought since she was so upset about leaving the music last night, you could play this in her room and she would be happier.” Dr. Thomas looked at me for a moment before reaching for the CD and putting it on. We sat and listened for a full minute before he spoke.
“Do you know who is playing this?”
“No. No one I know could play that well.”
“Well, it is good that you brought me this Charlie. I will see what we can do about letting Bella hear it.”
“Can I see her? I just want to make sure she is ok after last night.”
“I don’t think that would be the best idea. She is not very stable at the moment and I am afraid that the smallest thing might send her spiraling back into a comatose state, so we have her isolated from anyone but myself and Matt.”
I just stared at Dr. Thomas for a moment. Bella was unstable? No one could see her? Naturally I was upset, but he was the doctor. “Ok Dr. Thomas. Thanks for all your time. Just let me know how she is doing will you? I’ll be back next week.”
I got up, shook his hand and walked back to my car. As I started driving home, I couldn’t help but think this was going to be a very long week.
BPOV
I woke up feeling very groggy and disoriented. Then the events of last night come back to me. I didn’t know what the Matt and the doctor would do about my “episode” but I knew it wouldn’t be good. Speak of…Matt pushed the door open and stood there with my breakfast tray. He didn’t speak as he placed it on the bed and turned to leave the room. I wanted so badly to ask him if I would get to go back to the piano music today, but I was afraid of what he would say so I kept quiet.
I ate what I could of my breakfast, which was a little more than yesterday, and then I just sat and waited for Matt to come back and tell me what was going on. When he didn’t come back for my tray I started to get anxious, but I figured he was probably just busy with other patients. Finally, after what seemed like hours, but I couldn’t be sure as I had no way to tell time in here, he came back. I jumped off the bed hoping to leave immediately. Matt closed the door behind him and crossed the room to sit on the end of my bed. I watched him move and became more and more nervous because one he never closed the door when he was still in here and two he looked like he was planning something. He was watching me with calculating eyes.
“Bella, I know you are expecting to go the rec room today, but after what happened yesterday Dr. Thomas and I both believe that it is not a good idea. You became to dependant on the music too fast. So you are going to be staying in here for awhile.” My jaw dropped and I my knees gave out. How could they do this to me?! Don’t they understand that the music was all I had to get me though the day? I sat on the floor starting up at Matt.
“Please don’t do this. I need the music. Please I’ll do anything.” Matt smiled a little, but it did not make me feel better.
“Anything huh…well it just so happens that Charlie stopped by today with a CD that he found under a loose floorboard in your room.” I froze. I didn’t hide anything under the floor. I didn’t even know I had a loose floorboard. Matt held the CD up for me to see and it hit me like a freight train. It was the CD he made me. Suddenly the rec room didn’t matter anymore. I had to hear that CD. It contained the music that I imagined was coming from the piano and I knew I didn’t do it justice.
“Can I listen to it? Please?”
“Well Bella I guess that depends. See I talked to Dr. Thomas and he wasn’t sure whether this would help or hurt you so he told me to figure it out. And if I tell him that you shouldn’t be listening to it I am quite sure he will dispose of it.” I hung my head and felt the crushing pain that came when I hoped too much. After yesterday I was sure Matt wouldn’t let me listen to it.
“But I could be persuaded to let you listen to at least one song today.” I lifted my head to look at him, shocked by his comment.
“Please Matt please let me listen to it. I need it”
“Well Bella here’s the problem. This job doesn’t really leave a lot of time to go out and have a life and a man can get kind of lonely hanging around crazy people all day.” The confusion I was feeling must have shown on my face because he continued. “Bella you are very beautiful, probably the prettiest thing I get to look at all day and I would like to see more of you. Do you understand?”
I had no idea what he was talking about. I wasn’t pretty or desirable in anyway. I mean he obviously didn’t think so. I shook my head and Matt sighed.
“I was hoping it wouldn’t come to this. If you want to hear the CD I want you to strip now.”
I was horrified. This wasn’t like Matt. He was kind and gentle and…I stopped myself. He had squeezed my ass and tried to touch my breast. God I was so stupid! How could I forget that? I didn’t know what to do. I knew that this was my only chance to hear his music again and if I didn’t I knew the pain would swallow me whole, but no one had ever seen me naked. Not even him.
“Why are you making me do this?” Matt just smiled. “I told you Bella, I’m lonely and you are beautiful. Now this is a limited time offer so unless you want this CD to be destroyed I suggest you get off the floor and take off your clothes!” He was yelling by the time he finished.
I stood up slowly and started to take off my shirt. I was shaking so badly that it took me a few tries to grab it. I pulled my shirt off in one quick motion. “Good girl. Now your pants.” I pulled my pants off and threw them on top of my shirt. I was now standing in nothing but my bra and underwear. Matt looked me up and down. “Beautiful. Exquisite.” I tried to cover myself with my hands and that made him angry. “Stop it! Now take off your bra. I want to see your breasts.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
“Please no more. I just want to hear the music.”
“Damn it! Stop begging and take off your fucking bra!” Matt looked very angry and I was scared. I reached behind me and undid the clasp on my bra and let it fall to the floor. I immediately covered my exposed breasts with my hands. “Bella put your hands down let me see you.” I shook my head. I didn’t want to. Matt got off the bed and grabbed my arms forcing them to my sides. “Gorgeous. You look even better than I thought you would.” He leaned so close I thought he was going to kiss me but at the last minute he turned his head and kissed my neck. I shivered and it wasn’t from the cold or excitement.
“See that wasn’t so bad was it. Now get dressed while I go get a CD player.” Matt walked away while I scrambled into my clothes. I was sitting in the corner of my bead holding my knees when he returned. He set the CD player on the floor and looked at me. “I think you have earned one song for today.” He sat down next to the CD player and pressed play. Immediately the sweet sound of my lullaby filled the room. Just hearing it again brought back so many good memories of Edward and our time together. I cringed and waited for the onslaught of pain that usually came when I thought his name. But there was no pain. Not today. It had to be because of the music.
I didn’t question it as I continued to listen. I wasn’t tired when the song started, but by the time it was over I was laying on the bed drifting off to sleep without medication for the first time since Edward left. I would probably pay for thinking his name but right now I just didn’t care. I don’t know when Matt left but I fell asleep thinking of happier times and the beautiful creature that I still loved.
