Bella was laying with Edward when Charlie's frantic voice called from downstairs.
"Bella I need your help now!" Bella shot straight up and ran downstairs.
"It's okay you're okay" Charlie soothed a fitting Johanna "Bella get me a blanket and a pillow, Edward make yourself useful and move the coffee table out of the way. Bella grabbed a blanket and cushion then placed the cushion under Johanna's head and a blanket over her. Edward moved the table as far as he could.
"Bells pass me that book on the table" Bella grabbed Jane Eyre and handed it to Charlie who started reading. Five minutes passed and Johanna was relaxing. Charlie then noted the time of when she stopped. He put the book down and wiped his nieces hair out of her face. She started to come round not long after.
"Hey there Jo" Charlie speaking a ruff but soothing voice
"Did it happen again" her voice came out small and tiny like a child's.
"Yeah...they're getting worse" he sighed
"Do you want me to take her up to bed sir" Edward asked
"No, don't you touch me" Johanna snarled. Charlie looked up at Edward.
"No I'll take her" he helped her up and took Johanna to her room.
"You get some rest okay. I'll check in on you later"
"night Uncle Charlie" she mumbled falling asleep. He shut the door and went back down stairs.

In Seattle, Riley looked at the chaos around him and was extremely pissed off.
"What did I say about a low profile?" he tackled some newborn's and grabbed a car door slamming it to the ground silencing everyone around him
"Something's coming. Something bigger than any of us alone. And if you can't control yourselves, we're all going to die. What's done is done just clean up after yourselves." he walked off. He stopped for a moment he needed to calm down. But who could he see? Not Victoria she was hardly around and she was focusing on the upcoming fight to bother with Riley's feelings or to calm him down.
Johanna? he thought, he couldn't risk talking to her again without getting suspicious so that only left while she was sleeping. He would do that, she had a calming presence and he felt the need to see her again. Riley paused before he was about to take off and looked up feeling like was being watched. Yet there was no one there. He shook it off as paranoia then started going to Forks.
When he arrived the it was early morning and no one would be up. He climbed in the house through a open window. He went straight to Johanna's room where her looks had changed her flawless skin was now paler than usual her room bedroom stank of sick, so he decided to open a window. He then sat on her bed and she shivered, pulling up her covers he placed a light kiss on her head, she was working up a fever and he knew it.
"My sweet darling Johanna" he whispered trailing a finger down her face. Surprisingly she leant into to his cold dead hand finding comfort. A small smile made its way onto Riley's face. He was calm but he couldn't stay any longer with it being so close to the fight. He stood up and looked around, he needed something of hers a token of sorts. He looked around and found a photo album looking through it he stopped on one of just her.
Taking it and putting it in his jacket he continued looking around. On her desk was stand with jewellery on it one was a necklace that held two rings he took it and clutched it in his hand. Going back over to the sleeping Johanna he kissed her temple.
"Get better my sweet Johanna." with that he left
-Johanna-
Alice came in the morning to get me ready, it was graduation Day and I was ill. I still had enough strength to get through it because I wasn't going to miss it. She took a breath and I saw something change in her.
"Why don't you come over to ours, I have the perfect outfit for you" she led me out and we went to hers. Once I was changed it was time to go. I sat and waited before we went up and collected our diploma's Charlie stood up for Bella and kept standing when I walked out the stage smiling
"When we we're five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, president or in my case a princess" we chuckled "When we were 10 they asked again. We answered rock star, cowboy, or in my case, a gold medallist." I let out another chuckle.
"But now that we've grown up they want a serious answer. Well how about this...who the hell knows" we all cheered and clapped
"This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, this is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love a lot. Major in Philosophy, because there is no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind and change it again, because nothing permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can that way someday when the ask what we wanna be. We won't have to guess. We'll know" We all applauded.
"Johanna you have to come to the party."
"Sorry, I've had enough excitement as it is. I'll see you soon" I left with Charlie and changed for bed.
