Esme pov
Bella, Carlisle and I were watching a reality show while the others were hunting.
"Esme?" Bella asked. I turned to her. "What was your human life like?" she asked me; Carlisle tensed.
I had forgotten she only knew a small part of it. I looked at Carlisle helplessly. "Should I?" I asked, quiet enough that Bella couldn't hear.
"I don't know…she knows Rosalie's, but you don't have to. You could wait and tell her another time," he answered just as quietly.
"Well, it's just that I know the others' and-" Bella began nervously
"It's alright, I understand." I said, cutting her off. She looked at me hopefully. "Bella, my life was like Rosalie's in a way. It wasn't good. Are you sure you want to know?"
She looked worried for a second, probably wondering what it was like. Carlisle wrapped his arms around me, pulled me on to his lap, and reached for the remote to turn off the TV. I had forgotten all about it.
"I'm sure." She looked at me pleadingly.
Carlisle kissed my cheek. "I love you," he whispered encouragingly. He knew how I got when I told my story; I had cried for hours when I first told him.
