A FEW WEEKS LATER
"Morning dad" Ophelia walked in her dad's home kissing his cheek "Morning honey don't you need to be at work" Ophelia nodded putting her bag down making a quick breakfast for them knowing ever since she moved out they have bought breakfast from the diner
"Just checking on bells before I go how is she" Charlie sighed putting down his newspaper "I woke up to her screaming in the middle of the night I rushed into her room and saw her moving around sweating and screaming in her sleep" He shook his head running his hand over his face
"Did she tell you what she dreamt of" he shook his head thanking his daughter as she handed him a plate of food
"No she hasn't left her room to come down to eat something in weeks and I'm getting worried" Ophelia looked sadly at her dad
"I'll handle it dad don't stress yourself over this and get some rest you look exhausted" he laughed lightly as she smiled taking a plate of food and a glass of orange juice upstairs to Bella's room
"Knock knock" She knocked walking in seeing the dark brunette bundled up in her blankets "Bells" Ophelia said softly walking in her room placing the tray on her nightstand
"Leave me alone" her voice muffled as she buried herself more into her blankets , Ophelia huffed ripping it off her head looking at her sternly
"Sit up" she demanded making the younger swan immediately sit up not wanting to get scold at
"And here I made you this dad told me you haven'teaten anything in a few weeks" she placed the tray on bellas lap
"I'm not hungry" bellas mumbled looking away from the tray
"Dont let me shove the food down your throat" Ophelia glared at her causing the dark brunette to quickly pick up the fork and started eating , The light brunette hummed satisfied
"Now I need to go to work call me if you need me" Bella nodded chewing slowly as the older swan smiled kissing the side of her head as she exited the room closing the door behind her
"I'll be off just keep an eye on her" Charlie smiled and nodded
Ophelia walked out the house getting in her car driving off

"Lia" Ophelia looked up from her book organizing seeing her boss and friend Liza "Yes?" She put down the box of books walking to the old woman
"There's someone here to see you at front desk" She furrowed her brow giving the woman a confused smile "who?" Liza chuckled lightly fixing her glasses
"I don't know but he is quite handsome" Ophelia laughed as the two walked to the front desk "Now Lizadon'tlet me tell Frankie you're saying other men are handsome" the older woman waved her off laughing
"My Frankie will always be more handsome then any man there is" Ophelia smiled as love shone in the woman's eyes as she spoke about her husband
As they arrived at front desk Ophelia was pleasantly surprised to see Paul there standing with his hands stuffed in his jeans "Paul" The man turned his eyes to her ad he instantly smiled seeing the shorter woman
"Ophelia hi" he breathed out with a small laugh "What are you doing here" Ophelia smiled walking to him as the man blushed slightly
"Just came to visit you it's been awhile since I've seen you" He confessed a little nervous "Oh well its my lunch break and there's a coffee shop two blocks away mindkeeping me company" Ophelia offered as he grinned nodding "Sure"
The two walked to the coffee shop as he opened the door for her , thanking him they found a seat near the window
"So how have you been Paul" Ophelia smiled looking at the man who changed alot over the years
"I've been good , great actually" he smiled before continuing "I've just finished college and I'm planning on moving to the city to find a job " Ophelia grinned
"That's great I'mhappy for you" The waitress came as she took their orders giving Paul a cheeky smile before leaving
"Seems like the waitress has an eye out for you" Ophelia teased wiggling her brows
"Oh no I'm not planning on dating" he laughed shaking his head
"Why not Imeanyou're good on the eyes any woman would fall head over heels for you" the man flushed lightly his heart beat picking up
"Are you flirting with me Lia" he teased as she snorted
"I'm happily taken thank you very much"
Paul paused for a moment his heart dropping at the mention of his crush being in a relationship, quickly he shook it off forcing a chuckle out
"And who is this lucky person that has swiped Miss charmer off her feet" Ophelia giggled her mind thinking about her girlfriend who she missed dearly
"Well if you must know" she playfully rolled her eyes smiling "Her name is Esmeray and shes really amazing I just love her so much" She sighed happily a soft smile played on her face making Paul slightly sad but he smiled widely seeing his old friend happy was just alright with him
"You sound in love it's weird" Ophelia gasped slapping his hand as he laughed
"Hey my days as being a player are over I've grown up now" He rolled his eyes smiling, the waitress came back with their stuff slipping a piece of paper in his hand
"Oooh buck teeth Paul pulling all the ladies" Ophelia grinned as he playfully glared at her
"Shut up" he grumbled making the light brunette laughed
The two caught up on what has been going on in their lives , having an old friend like Paul made Ophelia happy knowing she has someone she can talk to when she needed it
