MY TURNING POINT

1.

Laughter fills the car. My mom, dad and my sister testing who can hit the high note of a song    But that moment was only for a minute. I was met with a bright light shining in my eyes and then the car was in the lake   All I can feel is the pain in my chest. Gasping for air. My family screaming and shouting.

I woke up drenched with sweat, well that was a great way to start a Monday morning, I went and took a shower, the hot stream of water relaxed my tense muscles. I got out of the awfully good shower slipped into stockings and a cute maroon dress and some boots. I went down towards my kitchen and saw Mrs Williams making tea,

"good morning Mrs Williams"

"Good morning Hope!" she gave a smile which was filled with parental love.

" what would you like for breakfast?" she asked,
"I will have some granola Mrs Williams thank you"
after five minutes she placed my breakfast I almost finished it. Then I saw Taylor coming into the kitchen. He took a seat on one of the bar stools.
"Mornin' Taylor, you think you could help me?" I said referring to my granola.
"Mornin' Hope but I would like to live" he laughed at me.
It took me about another half hour to finish it but I did it. I went to the foyer and saw Taylor following me. I raised my eyebrow at him.
"I am taking you to work today," he said with a stern voice.
"Okay, dad!" I mocked him. Taylor was initially my security. In the start I was really cold towards me because I didn't want to get close to anyone. Then slowly he turned into more like a father figure in my life. He would help me when ever I get panick attacks or my nightmares. I went to pick up my bag and Taylor was ready with the car "I thought we agreed that would go to work by myself!" I said to him as I climbed into the passenger seat and buckled in.
"You have to go to the hospital today" He ignored my statement.
"Taylor what's going on?" I asked what's wrong! I thought to myself.
"You know that we are here for you right?" I looked straight at my hands which was on my lap.
"Hope?" He called me again.
"Ya I know Taylor" I told him.
"You don't sound so sure though" he mumbled.
My phone started to ring inside me.
I took it out an saw it the caller ID said 'Edward' I put it on silent and put my phone inside my bag.
"The British boy again?" He asked me.
"Ya" I mumbled sighing.
"You know I honestly feel bad for him. You have been avoiding him for almost 4 years and he still calls you." He said with a bit of annoyance.
"I know Taylor but I don't want him to find out what happened about 6 years ago." I told him.
"But he deserves to know, don't you think?" He asked me eyeing me through the side mirror.
"Ya but if I tell him he would book the next flight here. So that's why" I explained him.
"That's a dumb excuse" he said as he pulled into my office.
"Any ways bye Taylor will see you later" I said as I got out of the car.

I went into my office I greeted everyone, well almost everyone. I try to make a friendly environment. I know how bad it is to work when the place is not good. I was met with a very exited person in my office.

"Hey! Hope" Kate my best friend greeted me with an unexpected hug. It was a bone crushing hug.

"And what caused you to be this happy this early because I know you for about 10 years now and everyone in this building knows that you hate mornings so spit it out" I told as I broke from the hug.

"You know me too well!" She laughed at me.

"I do know you know spit it out girl!" I shook her.

"Okay okay, so I went to the store yesterday and saw this perfect dress for you!" She beamed at me. Really she got this exited for this!

"Your the only one who gets exited for the smallest things Kate. What do I need this dress anyway?" I asked her.

"Well at some point you have to go out and have fun so..." she trailed and I rolled my eyes.

"Kate we have been over this and I know what you're going ask me. Before you ask the answer is no. I am not the party kind of girl" I am really getting frustrated by this talk I really don't want to go to whatever or wherever this party is. I hate parties it's just to loud and no fun.

"Why? Give me one valid reason and I will drop it" she pointed her index finger at me.

"Look I don't need to give reasons to anyone. You know the reason very well but you still ask me. I tons of work to do so it would be great if you drop this topic." I told her with a stern voice but not to harsh the last thing I want is to offend her.

"Woah! Who pissed in cereal today?" She sassed me while giggling.

"Oh it was a girl called Katherine." I sassed her back. I took a couple of files on top of desk which needed to be checked and signed.

"Okay I can see that you're busy so I will leave it to you." She got up from the one of the chairs in my office.

"Thank you!" She left my office and my eyes looked at my windows. My office was the last floor of the building so it's really high. There is no walls it is all clear glass the view is unbelievably breath taking all the time. I stare at the Seattle skyline . The place where the sky meets the tall buildings. It never fails to amaze me. My phone buzzes on my desk. I took a look at it the caller ID said 'Edward'. I decided to pick it up with all my willpower.

"Hey Love!" His thick British accent hit my ears.

"Hey Ed!" I tried to sound surprised.

"Love you know that you not very good at the acting stuff right?" He laughed.

"Only to you Ed" I joined him.

Don't get me wrong I love him so much he is my best man. We know each other since we were 2 year old. He makes sure I am okay and he is really protective of me since we were like 12 year old. The main reason I am not telling him anything is because I know he would catch the next flight here to make sure I am okay. Don't get me wrong I love him but I don't want him to worry about me.
"Hope?" He pulled me out of my thoughts.
"Um...ya?" It came out more like a question.
"You spaced out, didn't you?"
He never fails to amuse me.
"Even though we are separated by 4,242 miles you never fail to amaze me."
"That's me. And I can even even tell that you are pushing me away. Me being friends with you for so many years. I know that you will only push me away when you need me the most. I deserve a explanation Hope it's been 6 years. I thought I would give you space but I have given you enough, don't you think ?" He asked me.
"I know Ed but I don't think I am ready yet-" but I was cut off.
"Really Hope, its been 6 years Hope 6 years! I really need an explanation. You have been avoiding me. You are my best friends I need to know if you're okay-" this time I cut him off.
"Maybe I don't want you to know that I am no okay!" I slightly raised my voice.
"So you're not okay?"  He pulled the words out of mouth.
"Ed-" he cut me off again.
"I don't want to hear you're excuses Hope. I know you and you know that. I knew that you were not okay. Why do refuse to tell me what's wrong?"
"You will catch the next flight heart and I don't want you to worry about me"
"I worry about you either way Hope and I am catching the next flight anyways."
"You don't have to do that."
"Well I already booked the flight ticket."
"Fine send me the details. I will try to come or Taylor will pick you up."
"Oh then I am staying at your place?" He asked me.
"Um... yeah what doubts do you have on that that."
"But-"
"Nope you don't get to choose this. You're staying at my place end of conversation. Good bye."
"Hope I swear to god if you hang up-" and I hung up the phone.
