Disclaimer: I don't own 'Twilight' or any of the characters. I do, however, own Nate (Yummm hehe), Shadow, Emilee, Blair, Holly,Nate's cell phone, and Bella's lighter.
Sorry this chapter took so long.
It's actually been done since Friday but I haven't been on.
FUNNY STORY ALERT:
So, my best friend Jordan and I were sitting on her couch and I was typing this chapter.
Here's how our convo went:
Jordan: Are you gonna kill Bella?
Bella: No
Jordan: Why Not?! You should kill her and make Edward and Nate bond over her death.
Bella: And then they become gay lovers?
Jordan: Yeah!
Bella: Right.
Jordan: I would read it.
Bella: --laughs-- Me, too.
Chapter 10
Bella's Point Of View
I squeezed my eyes shut as I let my arm catch fire. I bit my lip to hold back my scream as the fire encircled me.
I screamed as I fell to the ground. I sobbed as I slowly faded into unconsciousness. Before I drifted into the blackness, I heard an angel calling my name.
Nate's Point Of View
I was trying to get over the irrational feeling that I was being harsh.
Gah! I need to go back to talk to her. I really was being harsh. I fucking yelled at my wife and told her I wasn't going to take care of her and that she didn't love me.
Damn, I'm a jerk.
I ran back to the house and was startled by the letters fanned out across the table. I picked up the envelope with my name on it and began to read.
I was abruptly outraged and hurt and hating myself all at the same. I looked around for her but didn't have time to look thoroughly because my concentration was shattered by an ear piercing scream.
Bella.
I bolted toward the noise. "Bella!" I screeched as I spotted Bella engulfed in flames. Her body lay motionless and immobile as a stone.
I cranked on the hose and doused her with the cold water.
I threw the hose aside and knelt down by her, scooping her into my arms.
I cradled her to my chest.
"What the hell happened, Na—OH MY GOD!" Holly exclaimed. She lives next door so she probably heard the scream.
"Holly, call my dad!" I screamed at her in panic.
She pulled my cell out of my pocket and went through my contacts until she found my dad.
"Volterra, may I help you?" Gianna's voice murmured.
"I need to be connected to the Volturi." Holly muttered.
"Your name?"
"Holly Hawthorne."
"Oh. I'm sorry, you're not on the list." Gianna said with grim satisfaction.
"I'm a friend of Nathaniel's." Holly said impatiently.
"Nathaniel Volturi?" Gianna questioned.
"Yes."
"I'm sorry, I can't do that, ma'am."
I grabbed the phone impatiently. My wife is dying and Gianna wants to be uncooperative?! "GIANNA, PUT MY DAD ON THE FUCKING PHONE!" I yelled.
"Nathaniel?" she asked.
"Yes!"
"Okay."
"Marcus speaking." My dad's bored voice muttered.
"Dad, I need your help."
"Nathaniel?" he asked, "Why, I haven't heard from you in months. How are my daughter in-law and my granddaughters?"
"They're good. But I really need your help, dad." I murmured.
"What do you need, son?" he asked, concerned. I hardly ever called my dad and when I did he knew something was up.
"Bella and I got in a fight and she was upset and she tried to kill herself." I mumbled.
"She did what?" he asked, alarmed. My dad loves Bella. She reminds him of my Mom.
I looked down at her and had to hold back a sob. I did this to her. I hurt her like this. I made her hurt herself.
I was breaking down. Bella suddenly started shaking like she was having a seizure.
"She lit herself on fire." I choked, "She isn't waking up. I don't know what to do and now she's shaking and I—"
"Calm down, Nathaniel." My father said calmly, "Put your hand on the back of her neck and press your fingers to her pressure points and squeeze gently."
I did as I was told and Bella stopped shaking.
"Did she stop shaking?"
"Yes."
"Now, throw some water on her."
I did and Bella's eyes fluttered open as she coughed and choked.
"Bella!" I exclaimed relieved.
"Is she awake?" My dad asked.
"Yes." I said, relieved, "Thanks, Dad."
"No problem, Nathaniel." He said, hanging up.
Bella was blinking, confused.
"Oh, sweetheart, I'm so glad you're okay!" I exclaimed, hugging her close.
"Nate?" she asked.
I nodded, "Baby, why would you do that?" I asked.
"What's – I'm supposed to be dead." She muttered.
"What're you— Bella, I saved you."
"Why?" She muttered, "You didn't want me. You said—"
"Bella, I didn't mean it! I was just upset. I never meant for it to make you go to such extremes."
"I don't want to live. I don't want to hurt anymore." She whimpered.
"Bella, I'm sorry."
"No one loves me. Not Edward not you. No one. I don't want to be alone. I don't want to spend eternity by myself." She whispered.
"That's not true! I love you." I murmured.
"I don't want you to lie because you're afraid that I'll kill myself." She muttered.
"I'm not lying! I love you, Bella. I always have and always will." I said wholeheartedly.
"Really?" She asked apprehensively.
"Of course, my angel."
She looked like she would cry if she could. I leaned down to kiss her softly.
She kissed me back sweetly and I threw myself into the kiss.
Bella pulled back, "Oh, Nate, you're so passionate." (A/N I know that sounds stupid but I had to have her say that so that he could say…)
I smiled, "You can't spell passionate without 'Nate'." I chuckled.
She smiled and giggled quietly.
I kissed her again and for the first time in almost two weeks, everything felt right.
"Now that everything is okay, I'm gonna go home." Holly muttered, walking away.
I chuckled and kissed my wife again.
God, I love this woman.
