Chapter 9
That night I decided to spend the night at Edward's house, since I was already over there and I didn't want to leave his side.
When we finally went inside I changed into my shorts that I had over there and into one of Edward's t-shirts. I was breathing in the scent that was one his shirt when Edward walked in the room. My eyes were glued to his perfect sculpted abs. I realized I was staring when he started laughing at me. I felt really embarrassed. When he saw that I was blushing he came to me, took my face in his hands and said "There's no need to be embarrassed. You can stare all you want Mrs. Cullen." He gently kissed me.
I still had to get used to that name. Grant it, I really loved the name but I still can't believe that it really is my name now. I'm still trying to get down from my high over the whole marriage proposal. Then we got in bed and just as we got comfortable we hear the front door being knocked down. I got really scared so I held on to Edward. He kissed me than ran towards the living room.
The next thing I heard was somebody slamming into the wall. I prayed to God that it wasn't Edward. I was very anxious to know who broke in, so I slowly got out of bed. I got to the door and I was beyond shocked at who I saw fighting my fiancé.
It was my ex-boyfriend Justin! How could he just come back and ruin one of the most perfect days of my life? I was really pissed off that he was fighting Edward so I ran towards him as fast as possible to hopefully tackle him considering that he wasn't that big.
Thankfully I was strong enough to knock him off of Edward. With all my might I started punching him again and again hoping that it would make him black out. Well I was wrong because he took me and threw me off of him, towards the wall.
As I was screaming in pain, Edward yelled at Justin "YOU DO NOT TOUCH MY GIRL!" Apparently that humored Justin because he was laughing in Edward's face. That just set Edward off because he ran towards Justin with a full head of steam. The impact was so hard that Justin left a hole in the wall. I was terrified at this point. Unfortunately I couldn't move because my leg was in excruciating pain. When I looked over at Justin and he was knocked out. For that I was grateful for. I was looking for Edward, and I saw him in front of Justin in pain. It hurt my heart to see him in pain when he was dealing with my problem. I crawled over to him and he was clutching his right arm tightly. I whispered to him "Baby are you alright?" When he heard my voice it was like all the pain was gone and he had a huge smile on his face. He then got up slowly and picked me up while his arm was still hurting. He laid me down on his bed, gave me a passionate kiss that sent shivers down my spine and told me " Everything's going to be ok, I'll make sure you suffer no more pain." I knew there was a reason I love this man, he always makes sure that I'm ok before worrying about him.
He went to get his phone, I'm assuming to call 911. Then when he was on the phone he went in the living room to check out Justin to make sure he was unconscious. When Justin didn't move I breathed a sigh of relief because I didn't want him to hurt Edward anymore. Edward came back and sat down next to me. By then I started balling like a baby because I knew that he wanted to know about Justin. He had a worried look on his face, "Bella, what's wrong?". He helped me dry my tears as he waited for my answer. "I'm just so sorry that you have to deal with my past. Justin was an ex of mine from back in high school. He was very abusive to me. I got bruises to prove it." I got up and showed him the bruises on my stomach. He was very pissed off when he got a good look at them. You could tell that he wanted to punch something and I'm sure that something was Justin. After he calmed down he came to me and held on to me tightly, "Bella my love, I'm very sorry that Justin caused you so much pain. Apparently he doesn't know how to treat women with respect, especially when they're smart and beautiful like you." With that I kissed him and laid my head on his chest and silently sobbed because this man is so perfect for me. He cares for me, protects me, and most of all he gives me his unconditional love.
I wanted to know one important thing, "Edward, do you accept me for who I really am?" There was no hesitation when he said " Darling, of course I do! Your past doesn't change how you much I love you; it just makes you a stronger person knowing that you've overcame this." I was so happy knowing that he still loves me through all of this.
I laid my head back on his chest. I suddenly realized that my legs were killing me so I told Edward "Baby, my legs are killing me". "Oh, I'm sorry sweetheart, lets get you to the hospital." He carried me to the car very gently. When we got to the hospital, and had me checked in, they took x-rays of my legs. It turned out that there was a clean break in both legs, and that they would have to do surgery to get the bones back in place. Of course I was pissed because that means I have to sit around all day doing nothing. Well I hope Edward stays with me so I have someone to talk too… and other things.
When the doctor finished telling me my injury, they rolled me to my room. Damn I have to share it, that sucks. As long as they don't talk to me I'm good. When I got in my bed with help from Edward a nurse came in the room. The nurse went to the other person, so I didn't worry about it. What the nurse said next made me completely freeze, "How are you doing Mr. Smith?" That can't be him I thought. Then the person said "I'm ok and please call me Justin." I then grabbed on to Edward for dear life. "Edward why is that monster right next to me?" I started sweating bullets form being so nervous. "I don't know baby, but I'll see if you can move ok." He kissed me and left.
The nurse came to me and asked "how are you doing Ms. Swan?" "I'm doing fine thank you." When she left I heard Justin making an evil laugh then said "Well isn't it a surprise seeing you here Bella?" I then passed out from being so scared, hoping I was dreaming. I really wanted Edward right now so he can take my fears away.
