Chapter 13 : Not Alone
Bella's POV
Spring break, Were getting closer to graduation, Dr Jackson and I decided to try putting someone in the car with me without it running. Emmett Volunteered. so Far today is my thirteenth try to last the full fifteen minutes but I was getting better yesterday the last try I lasted ten minutes
"Okay Squirt" Emmett said .
I nodded, I got in the car first and put the seat belt on. Emmett opened the door and came in the passenger seat, he put the belt on . I was calm the car isnt running were fastened in. I put the key in switched it on.
"Squirt you dont need to do this" Emmett said
"I am doing it Emmett, I'm not freaking out. Look I'm calm" I said and showed Emmett my hand "Beside I'm not driving it, just running it" I added.
Emmett sat back, I turned on the radio and turned it to the Mariners playing the Chicago white sox its nearing the end of the season. I revved my car engine a bit.
Emmett smiled at me, I was even proud. No flashbacks, No episodes. I was really calm. I told Emmett about my fears, He accepted them that's why I am calm.
"Okay we sat long enough, I need to go to my appointment." I said looking at the clock and seen I had lasted the full fifteen minutes.
Emmett nodded and got out.
"Show Dr Jackson" Emmett said picking his phone from the dashboard and took mine from me and sent a file.
"Okay ?" I answered.
I drove to port Angeles, I changed my sessions to Tuesdays and Thursdays because the schools baseball season games are those days. Even though I will miss some through my Sign language lessons, I was offered a private tutor but I told them I couldn't afford a tutor but they told me the Cullen's will pay for it if it helps.
I stepped in the office.
"Afternoon Miss Swan, go in Dr Jackson is waiting on you" His receptionist said.
I went in the office.
"Bella welcome" Dr Jackson said closing his laptop over and took my file out. "Okay straight to the point how many times have you tried the passenger experiment ?" He asked straight to the point.
"Since Last Thursday, Emmett and I have tried thirteen times and the episodes got less and less, Today we tried before I left and I lasted the whole fifteen minutes with the car running." I said
"Now I asked Mr McCarty to email me the videos but I never received today's" Dr Jackson said
I knew Emmett always insist his phones sits on the dashboard.
"I think he sent me it to my phone to show you" I said and took out my cell and flicked through my received files and seen the dash of my car and pressed play and handed it to Dr Jackson.
I leaned back and chewed on my lip for a bit and watched Dr Jacksons reactions. but he showed no emotion
"Now that you have accomplished sitting in the car maybe we try driving a mile with a passeneger." Dr Jackson said
"Ofcourse I will try it" I said
"But you cant try it until you tell Rosalie your fears" Dr Jackson said
This is going to be hard, I love Rosalie shes like a sister to me, I took a deep breath and nodded my head.
"Also It has to be Rosalie you need to drive the mile with as well" Dr Jackson said
