A is for Altercation
Usually he never advocated violence but this was an exception.
"He hit you!" Carlisle growled examining the large purplish bruise on my face. I refused to seek treatment all the times before, but Carlisle insisted. Right now I sat on the patient's bed in his all- white in-house hospital room.
"It wasn't his fault; I just visited Jacob when he told me not to." I murmured trying to explain Edward's actions.
"Bella under no circumstances should anyone ever hit you, you are way too special for that." He told me placing his hand on the cheek where the bruise was. I couldn't help but lean into his touch. Then he immediately froze and pulled away. "Bella stay in this room and don't come out." He said.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Edward's coming." He whispered. "Please stay up here, I don't know what would happen if I lost you."
I was about to verbally agree but then he put his fingers to his lips and I just nodded my head. In a flash he was out the room. About 30 seconds later I heard someone come in the door. I placed my ear on the door so I could hear what was going on.
"How dare you?" Carlisle screamed.
"What are you talking about, dad?" Edward asked his voice full of faux innocence.
"You know damn well, what I'm talking about."
"Huh?"
"Smell the air."
Edward then immediately sniffed and came across my scent. "Bella." Is all he said.
"What gives you the right to lay your hands on a woman, especially a human?"
"You don't understand Carlisle." Edward said turning serious.
"I understand plenty, know leave."
"But I'm your first companion!"
"Frankly, I don't give a damn."
"You're going to distinguish a decade long friendship for some human?"
All I heard is a rock hitting a rock and someone falling on the ground. "She's more than just some human; she's an amazing, generous, smart, kind, and beautiful woman who you were lucky to have. I envied you for having someone like that, who loves you back. Now leave my sight."
I heard the door promptly shut and I walked out the room and downstairs to see Carlisle sitting with his head in his hands. Without saying anything I lifted his head up and kissed him and that kiss joined us together for life.
