Cue Bella coming to school one day, and both Mr. Banner and Edward are absent. The school's administration didn't have enough heads up to get a substitute teacher, so Bella's bio class becomes an extended free period. Everyone in class is so excited, but all Bella does for the entire hour is wonder why Edward didn't know up today. She's too afraid to approach the Cullen's table during lunch hour to ask why he didn't come to school. His absence bothers her for the rest of the day.
That night, Bella is restless in bed while a storm rages outside. She rolls over to glare at her window, annoyed by the sound of rain pelting against the glass. It takes her a minute to realize a dark figure is standing above her. She freezes.
"Ch-Charlie?" Bella whispers.
Lightning flashes. The glow from her window lasts just a second too short for her to see properly, but she'd recognize that bronze hair anywhere.
He doesn't respond. He doesn't move either. He's just... there.
Bella pulls her comforter up to her chin and stares up at him with wide eyes. She doesn't blink. She gets the feeling if she does, he'll disappear on her.
Lightning strikes again, and this time Bella sees.
Cherry red eyes stare back at her.
Bella sits up with a scream.
