FOUND (C. Cullen)

NW: V. Depressive Bella

[Olivia's POV]

A week after the Cullens left, Bella became quiet, she isolates herself in her room staring into space but when she goes to school she kept to herself and would sit in the old Cullen's table. Me? I try to live my life best as I can without getting to any worse habits like Bella's. I still work for distractions to keep my mind off from my aching empty piece of hole in my heart. I even make time to check up on Bella.

I became a regular visitor to Charlie in their house, he honestly didn't mind me barging in from time to time, instead he was glad that Bella still had a good friend in her time like this. So I took liberty to cook for them a few meals, try to stay close to Bella but she always shuts me out or leave me on silent treatment.

I understand her pain better than anyone but I chose to remain strong and to not succumb to the pain that grows inside my heart each day. Not only from missing the Cullens but also with each passing time Bella got even worse.

I used a little mind linking between me and Bella so when her thoughts are over the limit then I go straight to her quick.

Sometimes her thoughts gets a bit loud, that I can even hear it while I'm working. I found out that she had been sending Alice a bunch of emails, voicing it out what she had been dying to say, even I was involved in a few of them.

But she received no response from anyone in the family. I feel really bad for her, not one of them ever communicated with her since, not once. I only received texts from each Cullen once a month. Hurtful but I understood why they have to cut ties sometimes.

After my shift at the warehouse, I went to visit Bella's house. Charlie told me that I didn't have to knock anymore since he already considers me like an adopted daughter. It was flattering to hear that but I still have my manners so I knocked.

'Just come in' Bella communicated through her mind. Guess she's used to me being a mind reader too, unlike Edward he had no control of the loud thoughts hovering around at times. I on the other hand have the will to let it open or not.

Entering the Swan residence, Charlie wasn't around so he was at work. I cooked a small dinner for the both of them leaving one in the microwave with a sticky note for Charlie while the other plate I carried and ascended to the stairs where Bella's room was.

Just like the usual, her form is sitting on a chair facing the window watching the empty yard with a bleak expression. Many would wish that she should just get better, yet it's not always easy.

I entered in standing by the door "Bella, I brought you some dinner. I'll just leave it here" I placed it on the table near her.

"Yeah leave it there alone, just like what you should be doing with me" Bella lowly snapped at me, her voice croaked like she had been tired from screaming all the time.
