Unstable

Chapter 04

Cecelia's POV
The school day was long and tedious. I already knew about everything that they were teaching, so there was really no point in me being here.

Despite the 'hospital's' abusive treatment towards us they did insist upon us having an education so on the off chance of us getting out we were 'Productive members of society and not worthless deadbeats like we were in the hospital'..... the hospital's words not mine.

Anyways as I was walking out I was almost ran over when Bella came speeding by in her death wagon!

I felt myself get yanked backwards and I stumbled before tripping on the curb falling on my ass "Watch where you're going clutz!" Bella hollered from out her window before speeding off with an awful metallic screech making me cringe and shakily stand up, rattled.

"Oh my gosh! Are you okay?!" I was suddenly swarmed by three girls and one guy making flinch back as they attempted to touch me in order to help me up.

The first girl was blonde, pale and had a lean body. Her eyes were a gorgeous aquamarine color and were doll like. She had a heart shaped face with pouty baby pink lips and a snub nose.

The second girl was brunette, also pale, and had a short, curvy body. Her eyes were sparkling like sapphires and she had round eyes with think hot pink lips and a round face with a button nose.

The third and final girl had a tall and slim figure with dark brown hair and eyes with tan skin. She had plump lips and a Roman nose. Her eyes were shrouded by her pink pearlescent glasses and seemed to be almond shaped.

The male was tall, dark skinned and had a round face with plump lips and a cute nose that I didn't recognize the shape of. He had a pattern tattooed on his left upper arm and his hair was cut short in a buzzed way, but I could still make out some fuzzy curls.

Before I could answer, Jordan came running up from seemingly nowhere and got in between me and the other teenagers "Hey! Back up!" He snapped making the students jump back. He turned towards me and hovered his hands over me, but didn't actually touch me, which calmed me down and made me relax "Are you okay, CeCe?" He softly ask.

I timidly nodded not wanting to actually speak in front of the other people, which he seemed to notice. His face hardened and he turned back to look at the teens, shielding me in the process "What happened?" He asked, and that's when I felt the wetness on my hands.

I looked down to see that they were scraped up pretty badly, and were bleeding a lot.

I squatted down and opened my back pack and took out my mini first aid kit. I popped the cap off my rubbing alcohol flask and poured it over my wounds, after drying them with some cotton swabs before rubbing ointment on them and wrapping them in gaze.

As this was going on the teens were explaining what they had witnessed to Jordan who became angrier by the minute. Jordan turned back to me just as I finished packing up my aid kit, and knelt down in front of me "CeCe?" He asked making me look up and into his green eyes "Did Bella try to run you over?"

I thought about if it was on purpose or not before saying "I looked both ways before crossing the cross walk, but she came out of nowhere..." I then glanced over my shoulder at the familiar looking ghost lady's that have been following me since I spotted them in the living room at home.

They're the ones who yanked me out of the way of Bella's reckless driving.

Jordan followed my gaze and frowned upon seeing empty air "C'mon, let's get you home" he said making me nod and slowly stand up and follow him to his cruiser "Thank you!" He called over his shoulder as he ushered me into the passenger seat of his cruiser.

He drove me home and the ride was silent. It was peaceful and not awkward, but there was a lot of conversation bottling up inside both of us. I figured we'd talk once we got to the house.

We arrived only to see Bella's truck with another black truck parked behind it. Jordan frowned and said "How about I take you to the diner to do your homework and get you dinner?" I nodded in response not in the mood to meet new people.

He backed out of the driveway and drove off. We arrived at the diner and I immediately sat at a table while Jordan ordered our food. I told him to get whatever for me since I hadn't had real food since I was young as long as it didn't have peaches in it because I was allergic to those.

At the hospital we only ate oatmeal, hot cereals, plain white rice, and bone broth with mushy vegetables. It gave us nutrition which kept us alive, wasn't expensive, and had little to no allergens in them which made them perfect food for us.

He came by and sat down as I finished all my homework "So why were you at my school?" I asked making him shrug and say "Your dad had to work late and we both figured that Bella wouldn't drive you home so he asked me to do it" I nodded and he suddenly asked "How long have you been seeing ghosts?" I froze and quickly said "What are you talking about?"

He gave me a bland look and said "I know about your gifts, both your grandmothers had them too. I also think that you weren't really at a school in England, were you?" I hesitated before admitting "No, it was actually a hospital in Wales" he slowly nodded and our food came which led us to conversing over it as we talked about the truth behind my past.

~~~later~~~

Jordan dropped me off at home, we both noticed that dad's car was still gone and that the black truck was still there but thought nothing of it.

Jordan walked me to the front door. I watched him get into his cruiser and drive off before entering. As I did I immediately heard the sounds of loud moans and quiet grunts before Bella started screaming.

"Oh my god! Jake! Don't stop! Please don't stop! Fuck I'm close!" Bella hollered making me gag as I scurried to my room upon realizing what was going on "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Bella continued screaming as I scrambled to unlock my bedroom door and get in and lock it behind me.

I practically leaped onto my bed and covered my ears with a pillow as Bella screamed out "Oh fuck! Jacob!"

I cried myself to sleep that night vowing to never speak of this incident again...... nor will I ever be having sex.
