shift work.

Love and heart break, something I am very familiar with. The feeling of wanting someone to be in your life forever, can be easily destroyed by a sentence or even an action. Something I admired, was how you could look at my sister with someone and see the fairy tale ending. That fairytale would soon become our family and friends worse nightmare.

A search was set to find Bella, using my study to practice. I hinted a lie to the police and search team to looked in the forest behind the house. No sign of her or the cullens, stressing as the night got colder. I stood beside Jake as he wrapped an arm around me.

"I'm going to try the cullen household again." Charlie said, dialling their number. Billy spoke up, as he rubbed my arm.

"The cullens left town Charlie."

"Good riddance." Harry muttered under his breath.

"Where did they go?" Charlie questioned, Harry sighed as he stood up straight. Placing a comforting hand on Charlie's shoulder.

"We will find her Charlie." Looking over my shoulder, I gasped as I spotted Sam walking towards us. Bella in his arms.

"Dad!" I yelled, him and I taking off in a sprint towards Sam. Sam repeated.

"She's alright, she's alright."

"Thank you Sam." Dad thanked, taking Bella from his arms. Dad rushed off with her, watching him run off. Sam placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Well done little wolf, go help your dad." Nodding, I walked off. Walking past Jacob, I pinched his arm as I went past him. Rushing inside where medics came to check Bella over, staring at my sister as she slowly opened her eyes. I knew that behind them, she wants dying inside.

Months and months after the night of that event, it was if my sister died that night. Day by day, popping my head into her room on the daily as a routine. I would head to Jakes afterwards, us focusing on the bikes and focusing on me coming more powerful and confident with my witchy side.

Coming home one day, I stopped as I was shocked. Seeing Bella sitting on the couch, I looked at Charlie as we exchanged glares. It became shift work in the household, nights being awoken by screams from down the hall. Either Charlie and I would have to shake her awake, hold her tight until she felt under control.

Dad and I would get into fights on the daily, him wanting me to leave my school to be with Bella at her school. The factor to make sure she was ok, socialising and not isolating herself from her friends. Coming to a breaking point, dad called out to me from outside the house.

"Hope!" He exclaimed.

Making my way out the front, I took a seat on the front step. Looking between Bella and Dad.
"Bella, you're going to Jackson Ville. Be with your mum."

"I'm not leaving forks." Bella replied, looking down.

"Bells, he's not coming back." Dad told the truth to her, she nodded.

"I know." Bella sighed.

"Bell, it's just not normal. This behaviour, it's scaring the hell out of me... it's scaring the hell out of your sister." Bella looked at me, my head looked down at my hands. "It's also scaring the hell out of your mother. We don't want you to leave, but... just go to Jackson Ville. Make some new friends."

"I have friends."

"Bella, you don't see them anymore." I spat.

"Hope!" Dad yelled down at me, I placed my hands up in surrender.

"No no, I do." Bella begun, struggling for words. "I'm uh- going to go shopping, tomorrow with Jessica."

"You hate shopping." Dad and I said in unison.

"Umm... I need a girls night out." Bella smiled.

"Good, alright. Girls night, maybe you can take your sister." Dad suggested, Bella looked down at me with a cheeky grin.

"No no no, I'm good. I'm going to go and read. Or something." I said as I headed inside, grabbing a book off of the bench. I plopped myself on the couch, letting out a heavy sigh of relief. I smiled up at Charlie as he patted my shoulder, I knew he was grateful for me being here. Being his rock when mum left, being his go to person with everything. Most of the time, it was him and I against the world.
