CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

I think I can hear Rayne singing but everything hurts, especially my head. I try to open my eyes, they flutter and my vision is a little blurry. I feel goosebumps on my skin, He has to be here. I'm so confused, what's happening to me? My eyes are so heavy, they just won't open, but I keep trying. I can definitely hear voices now; it’s Tommy. I manage to get my eyes open enough for the blurriness to fade and find them all staring at me like they pity me. It all comes back in flashes; not in one complete memory, but in glimpses.

"Get out," I yell, even though it comes out as a whisper. I have disappointed the two people in my life that have been my constant support but I’m no longer their perfect Isabella. He ruined that for me and I want to hate him for it, but I can't. I love him. Neither of them leave the room and while I know the doctor is talking I can’t understand anything he is saying. Why do doctors try to use big fancy words no one understands, except my father? Finally the doctor leaves and my father follows him, more than likely to talk about me. Tommy is looking at me like he is going to lose his shit; I might as well get this over with.

"Let me have it," I challenge him.

"You tried to kill yourself, Bells. This isn’t something to joke about. Did you think about me or your parents? And what it would have done to us if you had died? All for what, a guy you barely know? We love you, but this person you have become, I don't like her, I want my best friend back."

"For fuck’s sake. Do you hear yourself right now? Do you really think I would try to kill myself? Just get out! I roll over and face away from him. The tears start to fall, my heart hurts so bad and it’s beating so hard. A lump forms in my throat and my eyes burn from the tears, so I shut them and curl up into a ball.

Was I really expecting Rayne to be here? No, not really, we’re done. Doesn't mean it hurts any less. Maybe I was hoping he would be here with some big gesture to say how sorry he is. I want to ask if he was here, but surely they would have said something. He really must have meant every word he said. They should have just let me die, it would have saved me all this pain. Tommy sits down beside me.

“I’m sorry, don’t cry, Bells. You're too beautiful to cry, and it makes your face ugly."

He knows when he says that it’s my weakness, no matter how bad or shit I’m feeling. I open one eye and look at him.

"Pretty,” I correct him.

"Pretty what, Bells?"

"I'm too pretty to cry, not beautiful."

He laughs and lies down beside me, wiping my tears on his shirt.
