Chapter 4
EPOV
After calling Angela and letting her know about Bella's predicament I drove to the hospital as fast as I can. As much as I wanted to run to Carlisle's office, since that would be the fastest way, I held myself back and took my car since I know I couldn't exactly leave my car in front of Charlie
Looking at Bella's window once more, I drove to the hospital, Carlisle had texted me saying to meet me at his office to tell me about Bella's condition
Finally, after what seemed like eternity, even though it had been 5 minutes, the hospital appeared in front of me and I got out, resisting the urge to run at my full speed to Carlisle's office but I knew there were still some people there in the hospital
As I was walking towards his office I heard Carlisle's confused thoughts
'Hmm…this is unusual, mostly not that uncommon but it still happens sometimes…hmm…I wonder how Edward will take this news…definitely not lightly…' thought Carlisle conflicted
I became confused at hearing Carlisle's thoughts
"Take what news? Is this about Bella?" I entered, asking
"You may want to sit down for this news son…" said Carlisle sighing
"Well" I said sitting down on a chair
"What happened to Bella…is not that unusual actually…" started Carlisle
"What happened to Bella dad…?" I asked, becoming scared by the wary way he was looking at me and how hesitant he was
"Well human minds are very fragile, if something traumatic or shocking happens to them then it has a huge impact on the person…" said Carlisle
"I know that dad, I did finished medical school more than a hundred time…what's wrong with Bella? Tell me!" I said a bit frustrated how with the way Carlisle was talking
"Well, kind of same thing happened to Bella…what happened…almost happened tonight shook her Edward. It had a psychological impact on her which caused her to be afraid of any man's touch" finished Carlisle looking at me
"Are you sure that's it?" I asked looking at Carlisle, I knew that was possible but I did not want to think that that happened to my Bella. It can't be
"But…but that's impossible I mean I was able to touch her" I said looking at Carlisle
"Like I said Edward, human minds are very fragile, when she was in her vulnerable state you were the one who saved her, so, subconsciously she finds your touch safe because you saved her. So in her mind your touch is safe but since what she has been through, she is now afraid of any men's touch except yours!" said Carlisle looking at me sadly
"It's all my fault…if only I had been there sooner…how because of me her whole life is probably ruined…" I said getting up
"Its not your fault son, if you hadn't been there then who knows what could have happened to her if you hadn't come…" said Carlisle
"But if I had been sooner then she wouldn't be in this position at all. If I hadn't left my guard down at all" I said frustrated, running my hands through my hair angrily
'You shouldn't blame yourself…you did not know this would happen to her, I know you won't ever let anything happen to her son…don't feel bad about it' thought Carlisle trying to comfort me but I shook my head
As I was about to leave, then I remembered something
"Can you do me a favour?" I asked looking at him
"Yes son, what is it?" Carlisle asked looking at me
"Could you get those…them arrested? I drew some pictures of them…I would come and show you them but I don't think I will be able to handle being near those…those creatures and not kill them. I don't think I will be able to control my bloodlust around them…" I said, anger growing again
"Fine, you give me the picture and go to her…" said Carlisle with a smile
I looked at him surprised
"Are you sure you're not the one with mind reading power? How did you…?" I asked amazed at how Carlisle knew I was going to visit Bella
"When I first turned Esme, after she woke up of course, I couldn't stay away from her because of what she went through Edward. I know the urges of being there for the one you love Edward, especially if they were in trouble…besides its written all over your face, you wont rest till your with her" said Carlisle smiling at me
I shook my head at amazement at how well Carlisle knew me, before I gave him a smile before running out of the door…to Bella
