Chapter 8.
Dreaming:

I was in a forest. Everything was green. The grass, the trees, the moss, all green, different shades of green, but still green. No matter where I looked it was forest, it looked like there was no way out. I walked straight ahead for a while, always trying to find an escape. I thought about screaming, but I had a strong feeling that no one would hear me. I kept walking, and then all of a sudden there was bright sunlight behind the trees. I could almost see an opening, the trees were getting further apart, I was beginning to see blue sky through the all the lush bush.

I could hear small children, playing and laughing, but I couldn’t see them anywhere. I found my way to a house. It was small and white, a house I remembered quite well. It was Charlie’s house. I ran up to the front door. I put my hand around the handle and turned it. It opened with ease. “Charlie?” I asked with caution. I could still hear the children’s voices loudly in the back of my mind. I walked into the lounge room. Nothing. The house was empty. It had natural light through the windows, but it was completely bare. I ran to the staircase, I walked up the stairs, confused and disorientated. I opened the door to my old room. Blank, not a trace of life. Then I heard something, it was loud, I turned around, trying to locate the sound. It was the children, a little boy, he was saying my name. “Bella? Bella?” he was looking for me.
“Hello?” I asked, still looking around.
“I’m Jacob, do you want to come play with us?” He asked so kindly.
Jacob? Jacob! Of course! Jacob Black! Billy Black’s son, he was the young boy I used to play with, when I stayed with Charlie! Oh this was all making sense. “Jacob? Where are you?” I requested.
“Do you want to play with us, Bella?” He kept asking.
“Jacob, Jacob!” I yelled.
“Bella? Bella?” another voice it wasn’t Jacob, it was Renee.
“Bella?” She screamed. I woke with a fright.

“Oh, Bella, You scared me, never do that again!” She kissed my forehead.
“I’m sorry, I fell asleep” I apologized.
“Oh no, honey that’s fine, it’s just you were screaming when I got home, you really gave me a fright!” She explained.
“Oh I’m sorry!” I apologized again.
“Its fine Bells, really, you can’t help it!” She walked into the cozinha to serve the pizza.
“hmm, Jacob” I whispered to myself.
“Um, Bella who’s Jacob?” Mum asked. I knew that would happen.
“Um I think he lives in Folks, I think I used to play with him when I was little” I acted as shocked as I felt.
“Oh, weird dream?” she laughed.
“Yep” I replied. That summed it up.

I was actually kind of hungry after strange dream. “Mum, is that pizza I smell?”
“Yes, Bella” She walked into the lounge room and placed a plate of Hawaiian pizza on the side mesa, tabela seguinte to me.
“There you go” She grinned.
“Thanks” I smiled back.
I scoffed a mouthful of dough, tomate paste, ham, pineapple and cheese into my mouth. Chewed it immediately and swallowed.
I washed it down with some Coke. Ah that was better.
Before I knew it I’d eaten 3 slices without even realising.
“You had enough?” Renee asked reaching for my plate.
“Yeah thanks” I replied.
“Do you want to start the DVD?” Mum asked from the kitchen.
“Yeah okay” I walked to get it. ’50 First Dates’ I’d already seen this with Nicole, Gemma and Erin when it came out. But obviously mum didn’t know that, so I put it on.
“Ready?” I yelled.
“Yep, coming” she replied. I pressed play. It started quite loudly. I turned it down a touch.

It was about half way through the movie and I was finding it really hard to keep my eyes open. Every blink got longer until they stopped. I couldn’t open my eyes again. I had no energy, I couldn’t even move, I lay there on the couch. Thinking. Thinking about Forks. Thinking about Jacob and Edward wondering if they’d ever met. Who knows maybe they’re good friends, although I do remember Jacob being a couple of years younger than me. Maybe Edward’s siblings are best friends with Jacob. And then I remembered Jacob had sisters, older sisters but maybe the Blacks and the Cullens were friends, or not, I really had no idea.
I must have drifted off to sleep because I didn’t dream although I remember that I stopped thinking for a while and then woke suddenly when Renee started laughing at something. I didn’t open my eyes but I rolled over and tried to doze off again. I knew I’d be a lot comfier if I went to bed, rather than trying continuously to fall asleep on the couch, but I didn’t have enough effort to get up and walk to cama so I just lay there.

This time I dreamt again. I was about eight years old and I was in Forks as well. I was wearing this cute little dress I used to own, but I was still covered in jumpers, tights and boots thanks to the coldness of Forks. I was sitting in my old bedroom in Charlie’s house. I ran down the stairs they looked bigger, or maybe that was because I was smaller.
“Bella!” Charlie said with delight.
“Dad!” I said back, my voice sounded weird.
He hugged me and kissed my forehead.
“I amor that dress on you” He smiled.
“Thanks” I grinned back.
“Twirl around” He laughed. I don’t know why but I did as I was asked with pleasure. I spun around.
“Aww my little ballerina” I could see the pleasure in his eyes. I had never remembered Charlie being so proud of me, it was nice I guess. It was like being in a happy início video. Well my ballerina days were over, totally crushed por my clumsiness. But I really should still see Charlie, a lot mais than I do. I still amor him, he’s my father. I should probably go see him some time as bored as I get when I’m there I don’t want to lose my relationship with him. He is part of me. My Father Charlie Swan.
