Chapter Seven
Edward Cullen
"You have such a beautiful blush." I commented, tucking a strand of loose hair behind her ear. She gave me a small smile, and ducked her face down, before looking up at me again.
I could feel my heart thumping in my chest, I put my hand over it. "I think I'm ill."
After school I met Bella at her house.
She made us both a cup of tea and we both sat in her front room snuggled up close together with a book each and sharing a blanket between the two of us.
"My sisters keeper, isn't that a little depressing?" I commented, seeing her book.
She raised an eyebrow back at me. "A street car named desire?"
I shrugged my shoulders.
"Aren't we a little biased?" She smiled.
I just smiled back and blushed a little at the way she was looking at me. The room got quiet after that.
"Edward?" Bella whispered.
"Yeah?"
"Have you ever felt like someone's doing something wrong and you should say something about it?"
I looked down at my hands. "Yes."
"I-I..." I looked over at Bella to see her looking down at her hands, I took them in my own, giving hers a squeeze.
"If you want to tell me something Bella, you can."
She cast her eyes downwards again, moisture forming in her eyes.
"Hey, come here." I whispered, wrapping my arms around her and pulling her onto my lap. "What's wrong?"
"I can't stand it here." She whispered. "I need to get away."
I held back a sob, and bit my lip as I rested my chin on her shoulder. "Please don't say that. I don't think I could stand it if you left. You're what makes everyday bearable, Bella."
Rosalie Hale
I looked down at the pregnancy test in my hands, shaking. I dropped it and ran to my bedroom, locking the door behind me. I stumbled over to my bedside dressing table and grabbed my phone and curled up into a ball on the floor.
I dialled Emmett's number. "Hey babe." He spoke huskily into the phone.
"Emmett, I need to talk to you, it's... important." I whispered shakily. "And be quick, please." I hung up the phone and crossed my arms over my knees resting my head on them, glaring at the floor.
Five minutes later the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs alerted me to someone being home. I heard the sound of the toilet flush a few minutes after, then the slam of the bathroom door.
"ROSALIE LILLIAN HALE." Came the shout of my father, followed by the banging of my bedroom door. "OPEN THIS DOOR RIGHT NOW!"
I didn't move.
"THAT'S IT!" He yelled again, thumping the door down with his shoulder.
He stood at the threshold of the door, glaring at me. "What on earth is the meaning of this?" He asked, holding up the pregnancy test. "Is this some kind of joke, Rosalie?"
"Hey, Rose." Emmett grinned climbing in through my bedroom window. I froze as I looked back over at my dad.
"YOU, IS THIS YOUR FAULT?" My dad yelled at Emmett who was now standing inside my room.
"I-I-I" He stuttered, his eyes wide, looking at me.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" My dad yelled looking between the two of us and holding up the positive pregnancy test.
"Rosie?" Emmett whispered.
Edward Cullen
Bella began to shake in my arms. "Vic- V- Victoria, she... hits me. Sh-She wont let me leave the house apart from when it's for school or to go to the store."
I buried my face in her hair, breathing her smell in, trying to stop myself from crying myself.
"I know how you feel." I whispered in reply. "Last week... James decided to take a steel baseball bat to my head. I couldn't tell my mom about what happened... I don't want her to get upset over it."
"That's why I haven't told Charlie. I don't want him to be upset either." She whispered. "I want my mom, my real mom." She whispered. "But she doesn't want to see me any more. Vic- Victoria said I ruined my moms life." She began sobbing and I tightened my hold around her.
I heard the sound of Bella's front door opening and closing, but Bella just held on tighter.
The chief of police walked into the front room, his eyes landing on Bella and I, his eyes softening when he saw Bella's tear stained face.
"Edward, Esme's son?" He asked me.
"Yes sir." I rubbed Bella's back a little.
He nodded his head. "You look after my girl. I'll be in the kitchen if either of you need anything."
