Chapter 10
"I miss her too," Edward said from right behind me. I turned to see his naked chest. He was so close to me. His hair was wet from his shower. As I followed a drop of water that fell from said hair; I noticed he was in only a towel. My tears began again. The pads of his fingers swept the tears away automatically. "You do understand it wasn't your fault, right?" I shook my head. It was my fault. It was my job to protect her, to take care of her and I utterly failed. You never get over your child dying. They are supposed to out live you. "Bella," I shook my head no. "Edward, I don't want to talk about it," I rasped. I looked back over my shoulder one last time.
"Fair enough, how did you get in here?" he asked with a half irritable, half curious tone to his voice. "You haven't changed where you keep the spare key," I said with a smile.
"Well, entering a man's home without asking is kind of illegal. I wonder what the Chief would say?" he said while raising his brow.
"I don't care what the Chief would say. Will you please sign the damned papers?"
"Yeah, I don't think I will," he said as he walked into the kitchen. He came back out carrying the cordless phone and a can of Vitamin R. He dialed the phone as he popped the can opened and took a swig. "Hey Em, I need you here man."
"Ooh, I'm shaking in my boots," I said as I waived my hands in front of my body.
"You'll love this one brother, trust me," he said as he hung up the phone. Edward went back into the guest bedroom which that kind of baffled me, too. Emmett was Edward's older brother and one of my closer friends. He was like a big brother to me as well. I missed him so much.
