Second Chances

Chapter 2:

BELLA’S POV

  God! Where am I? Bella thought to herself

“Bella, it’s time to wake up. You’ll be late if you don’t get up this instant” My father shouted.

What was that? And more importantly what is dad doing here? Bella questioned.

Soundly someone comes knocking on the door

“Bells, wake up your gonna be late for school”

School??

I walked to the door and found my dad standing outside. I crossed my arms over my chest. “School, really?”

Maybe Charlie Swan finally went mad. I thought to myself

My dad looked younger though. Maybe 20 years younger. And his hair was black no sign of any grey.

“Did you color your hair?” I asked.

Dad eyed me wearily. He reached out and put his hand on my forehead. “You’re not sick”

I swatted his hand away. ”I’m fine dad, but why do I have to go to school?” I asked.

He smirked “Because you have to expand the knowledge inside your brain, because the society needs people that are educated if you don’t go to school you won’t get a job. Then you’ll be at the streets and also your future kids need you to help them in Math. But most importantly, because I say so”

Is he serious? I asked my self

To make him happy I followed his orders and got ready for school.

While I was showering I concluded that I must have drunk a whole barrel of alcohol and somehow managed to get to my dad’s house.

When I was done showering I went to grab my clothes but when I looked at them. They were all 80’s clothes. Fine, clothes are clothes.

Suddenly the radio went off

“Okay guys the next song is from The Cure it’s called Just like Heaven”

What the?

After getting ready I went down stairs.

“Finally, I thought you fell asleep on the toilet” I knew that voice.

Mom?

OH. MY. GOD.  Why is my mom here? Shouldn’t she be died? She died 20 years ago.

I then remembered the weird fortune teller from last night.

“Bella listen to me. Tomorrow morning you will wake up and you will be back to the day things got out of control. I’ll give you the second chance you were asking for. But you also have to do something for me. You have to help 6 people. Make their lives better” her words echoed in my ear.

Was it possible to time travel?

NO WAY!

“Sweetie, where did you go?” Mom asked

I couldn’t contain myself so I hugged her so tight I thought she was gonna break.

“Mom” was the only thing I could get out.

“Okay, no matter how hard you try you’re not getting out of this one. You have to go to school, Bells” Mom said

I’ve missed my mom, God it’s good to have her in my arms to smell her aroma and to see her luminous smile.

“Okay okay, I’ll go now. Bye mom” I said grabbing my bag.

So I came to a conclusion

I was back in 1989.

The first day of school.

Mom was alive and I needed to help six people.

This is what I wanted to make my wrong right. I could finally have my second chance.
