Chapter 13 arguments
I was almost scared to go home to face the wrath of rose. Almost. What if Emmett was right. What if Alice was right. The image- the image of which I certainly had no desire to see- bounced around in my head. Bella pale skinned with blood red eyes. Her arm around my sister -as such-. Her face sowing no real emotion,but what if she didn't hate me for this, what if she was happy. Happy that we could be together forever. My hand began again to sting without pain and my desire to be with her was stronger than ever. To turn the car around and go strait to her door with some lame excuse to speak with her. NO MISTAKES EDWARD GO HOME. I slammed my foot on the peddle and sped home without a second to stop.
Alice was waiting for me on the door step. Strange I thought she didn't want to be part of this conversation. YOU AND ANGALA WEBBER HA!
"It worked didn't it "
YOU MIGHT WANNA GO HIDE YOUR VANQUISH SOMEWERE IN THE SOUTH OF SPAIN AFTER THIS OR YOU COULD HAVE A BIT OF TROUBBLE WIRH YOUR REAR BRAKING SISTEM
"Rose!"
ITS GOING TO BE OK
I walked passed her to head for the door. She got up and got up grabbing my hand to pull me back. It tingled as it ached for a different hand to hold. a soft warm touch. NO MISTAKES
I LOVE HER TO EDWARD
"Not like I love her you don't"
"Were going to be sisters"
"Never!"
We sat again at the dining room table giving me a strange seance of da ja vu as we all sat -other than jasper who insisted on standing- in the exact same seats as last time we had argued over the girl. The girl who seemed to have become the centre of my universe. The reason for my existence.
"How could you!"Rosalie's scream echoed loudly through the room.
"Why do you care we can trust her. she wont say anything we all know that."
"We don't know that Edward. You don't know what goes on in that head of hers"
Alice butted in suddenly.
"I can see that see will keep our secret"AFER ALL IT WILL BE HERS ONE DAY
I couldn't hold in my growl. Alice's vision was getting stronger. I would have to leave. To keep her safe from this horrid fate. Alice could see from my obvious expression what I planned to do. She could not however see me doing it.
YOU KNOW YOU CANT DO THAT
"I can do what I like Alice"
"You love her to much to stay away from her "
NOOOOO EDWARD NO PLEASE STAY
Esme's sadness was pain for me. She seem to be the only one to get the gist of our near silent conversation.
DONT LEAVE EDWARD YOU DESERVE THE COMPATION YOU HAVE WITH THIS GIRL.
If it wasn't impossible she would have cried a river
Alice was right. I would never be able to leave her. How could I. But how could I protect her when couldn't even touch her. Alice's vision interrupted my train of thought. Me and Bella in the woods her arms around me. Her lips-so soft and warm- pressed to mine. Pure happiness. NO MISTAKES.
"And then she dies Alice what would I do then"
"obviously not Edward I can see that"
Emmett's growl was louder than ever.
"What is going on!"
"It doesn't matter she wont tell anyone. End of"Alice's voice was firm. strong. loud. even jasper was taken in. he came and put his arm around her waist and she leaned up to kiss him. Only Rosalie was not convinced.
"This is not the end of this Alice"
"Rose Alice is right if the girl will keep our secret then we have nothing to worry about." This was the end of the conversation Carlisle had said. What he had to say and that was it. the room was suddenly empty-all but me-. My mind free to wonder.
Bella didn't sleep well that night. She tossed and turned. she woke often but never saw me. I seemed to be the focus of her dreams. That -as always- made me smile. She said my name a lot more often then usual. Maybe she was having a nightmare. She should be -she was dreaming of a monster- though she didn't seem to be scared she seemed happy. Though she tossed and turned, she smiled. She said my name and she smiled.
