I pulled into the parking lot of the police station after a few days of working up the courage to stop avoiding my feelings . I grabbed the coffees and got out of the car and walked up to the station head held high with feign confidence. My heart was pumping full speed if I could I would probably die of a heart attack . As I walked up to the door a young man walked out and held the door for me as he left . when I had fully entered the building I saw a large counter front desk and a pudgy man in cop uniform was sitting there just hanging up the phone.
"May I help you?" He asked .
I stepped up to the desk and set the coffees down as if it was work to hold both which it wasn't .
"I um was close by and I decided to stop by and give Chief swan Coffee , I'm a friend of his daughter Bella , My name is Cora Cullen ." I said .
He smiled warmly . "Oh well that is very sweat just take a seat and I will let him know your here." I turned from the desk as he got up and walked down the hall. I than took a seat in a chair against the gray boring wall. The man walked back into the waiting room .
"He should be out in a minute ." He sat at his desk chair creaking under him .
My stomach was twisting with nerves so I took a sip of my coffee as I sat silently waiting for Charlie. Was it weird to show up randomly at his work , was I being to obvios?, My thoughts were running wild .
"Cora?" I flinched a bit surprised he was here already I stood up quick . I looked at him with a smile .
"Hello Charlie." He looked at me with a smile .
"What are you doing here ?, I-I mean not that it isn't nice to see you." He fumbled afraid that he had insulted .
"Well I was close by and thought I could see you and see how you are , and well I thought I could bring you something so I got you a coffee." I could hear my nerves so I bit down on my bottom lip and looked away as my face started heating up. When he didn't reply yet I spoke .
"I'm sorry maybe I should of come ?" I whispered licking my lip .
"No that's fine um , we can have the coffee in my office." I smile softly as he holds arm out towards his office guiding me to walk in front of him .

As we walked I walked into his office I felt his large hand on the small of my back it made me smile and wonder what his touch would feel like. I blinked rapidly trying to rid my mind of the images and thoughts .
I sat in the wood chair in front of his desk as he sat on the edge of his desk facing me .
"Cora .. I well it is." He fumbled out as he fiddle with his coffee.
"This was inappropriate wasn't it?" I asked sadly as I looked down .
He set his coffee down on his desk and sighed as he rubbed the back of his neck in thought. "Listen Cora your a beautiful young woman really , But your really young honey I am old enough to be your father . " I smiled humorlessly if he only knew .
It was like a switch . "Charlie , what if I had a secret and this secret if I told you would be very afraid of me , or hate me ." I looked down away from his confused . "But you could possibly be ok with and well there is the possibility it would be dangerous for you ."I looked up at an even more confused Charlie.
"I am gonna be honest , I have no idea what you mean . "He said running his hand thorugh his hair. "But I know one thing I could never hate you Cora ."
I looked into his eyes wondering if I should tell him but I would be exposing the secret and Everyone in our family would be so upset .
I stood up and walked up to Charlie . " I don't think age should matter Charlie ." I kissed him on the cheek causeing him to freeze I sighed sadly and left .
I didn't tell him I probably just confused him, What had I even gone to him for I am confused . Yep I confused him and me . I have learned so much over the last month about him about his marriage to Renee or the sad passing of his parents . I knew how he felt I had to watch a many of my loved ones pass on . I sometimes had lapses always saved by Carlisle from my suicidal wants because unlike his kind I could kill myself .
I had endure quit a bit as vampire when I traveled with Philip he was a aggressive man he stole all my firsts . And when I refused him things he would get violent and lock me away sometimes for days . So I have experienced desiccation and being soaked in vervain all very painful.
I sat in the car in my driveway at home in thought .
FLASHBACK-WARNING TRIGGER ALERT
20 years after being turned and being forced to travel with Philip
"CORA!" I heard him from down stairs and he didn't sound happy fear gripped me tight as he fast approached . I ran into my closet in fear and clamped my hand over my mouth to silence my shaky breathe .
I heard the door slam open I almost whimper a tear slid down my cheek . I couldn't really remember what I had done this time .
"Cora hiding will only make this worse ." I let a sob slip out which made my eyes widen . The doors that hid me were thrown open .
"please Philip I am so sorry , I don't know what I did wrong ." I beg as he yanked towards the bed .
"How can you be sorry my sweat if you don't know what you did . " He said as he tightly gripped my jaw with opposite hand that held me to him by my arm .
I whimpered.
"Dear Cora I told you that no one can have you , You are mine until I release you." He spoke as he tied my hands to the bed .
"I know ." I cried.
"Than why is it that a young gentleman showed up saying he was escorting you to the store ."
My eyes widened Harold had shown up here I told him to meet me there . I was his by any means he just made me smile .
"So you were planning to se him ." he said through gritted teeth.
"It's not like that Philip , I promise ." I pleaded.
"I am sorry love you broke the rules ." As he pulled out the switch from the bed .
I sighed as I faded back from my thoughts I still remember the pain from that day . I had found out a short while later he had his emotions flipped off through out our entire time of knowing each other . I had learned this and devoted every day to getting him to turn it back on so I could be free. When I had succeeded he had been horrified with himself for what he had been doing to me for all of those years . He had given me my freedom and I had told him I didn't hold it against him he was emotionless . I had not yet experienced that but I knew it was very emotional when you turned it back on . It being worse the longer it's been off.
