Bella's pov
It takes forever to get to Carlisle's house. Edward and I walked so slowly because both of us are to hurt to drive. The minute we arrive, I do the first thing I think of.
"Carlisle!" I yell. Edward looks at me and all I do is shrug. I watch as Edward struggles to manage a small smile, I can see how bad it hurts in every flinch. Out of nowhere, Carlisle appears at the door.
"Oh my god." Carlisle whispers. " Alice most definitely didn't see this coming." Carlisle takes a good look at Edward. The blood stains that range from his head to his feet, the broken bones in his arm, the burns on his hands. It's amazing he's alive, " You got yourself some big man injuries."
" You can help him though, right?" I ask suddenly worried that this was too much. Too much blood, burns and broken bones that is clearly visible. Carlisle nods slowly. Edward glances at me and the look in his eyes is so strange.
" Bella you alright?" Edward asks me quietly. I turn so I can face him better. The facial expression I see on Edward is something that pulls at my heart and confuses my mind. I feel the tears fall slowly down my face; Edward reaches out and gently wipes the tears away.
" I will be fine." I tell him trying to smile but knowing that I failed.
" Bella," Carlisle says. I turn in his direction, " Its not good to hide away your emotions." I feel Edward wrap his arms around me, my shield my protector.
" Open up Bella" Edward whispers to me. " I'll let you in, if you let me in." I nod slowly. I think of all the awful shit he must have been through and it hurts me more. He unwraps his arm from around me and carefully reaches for my hand. I accept it.
" Come in, this is bound to be a long story for both." Carlisle says inviting Edward and I in. I walk as close to Edward as possible and when we get to Carlisle's room I knew Edward was up first.
" Bella, I recommend you wait with Alice or someone. This will be messy." Carlisle says. I look at Edward and I see everything I am in him.
" He will be ok right?" I ask again suddenly overwhelmed by past fears. Carlisle nods. Edward is looking at me closely, and his lips are slowly moving toward mine. His rough lips touch mine and then he pulls back.
" I love you Bella"
" I love you too Edward." I tell him before Edward follows Carlisle into the office. I back away and I go off to find Alice.
