Stuck in Ferndale Chapter 11: Don't Speak, a twilight fanfic

Last time on SIF.

Edward continued to lean against the wall across from me, staring at me as I cried. After two more hours the vet walked out "Ms. Swan?" I glanced up "yes?" He nodded and walked over, my face streaked with dried tears. "Andy is out of surgery." I smiled slightly "How is he?" He glanced around us all before looking back to me "Hes......"

Bellas POV

I stared at the vet as he stared back at me, not finishing his sentence. "Hes?" Oh god, what if Andy wouldn't make it? Could I live without my big over protective lug? He was my baby, my protector and my angel. I loved him, i'd rescued him from an abusive home and he gave me everything he had and more in return. Tears started to spill over as I thought about life without Andy. I couldn't do it, i'd be so lost without him. Sure i'd have Tuarwen and Gabriel, but Andy was always there for me through everything. He'd saved me from mike and that cougar...he'd put his life on the line countless times just because I saved him from that asshole. He was my best friend, my confident. I could tell him anything and everything, god knows i'd confessed to Andy a week before Edward asked me out that I liked Edward... But now? Now that he'd shot my dog? I wasn't sure how I felt... It wasn't right because well i'd begged and plead with him to let me handle my dog. I knew Andy would stop, but did he listen to me? Hell no he didn't he just pulled that trigger and now my dog might be dieing in another room. I glanced at Edward as he stood there, leaning against the wall. He was acting as if he didn't even care if my dog lived or died, or maybe he wasn't acting? This thought made even more tears roll down my cheeks.

It wasn't until I heard the vet calling me that I returned to earth. "Hm?" He sighed "I said, Andy will be fine. He'll have to take it easy for a month or so, but other then that he should be fine...." I smiled and jumped up, hugging the vet "Thank you!" He chuckled "Now...who shot the dog?" I shot a glance towards Edward. Even if he was a dick and called my dog a thing I couldn't do that to him.. I wouldn't report him for shooting my dog..even if he deserved it. "I don't know..." Edward glanced from where he was staring at the wall to me then, staring at me as if he expected me to rat on him. The vet glanced between everyone "Bella, would you like to see him?" I looked up at the vet and nodded "He saved me...from the cougar...yes." The vet smiled "Thats the great thing bout dogs, loyal to their last breath." I nodded "Yea, if only humans were like that." I glared at Edward before following the vet into the room. Of course being the cluts I was, I tripped on thin air and Edward grabbed me before I could fall. Once he set me back on my feet he stepped away from me and stared at me. "Uh thanks..." Then I followed the vet in. "He's still asleep, but you can sit here for a few minutes and pet him. We normally don't do this, but seeing as he risked his life to save yours...i figured you'd want to thank him." I smiled and nodded before walking over to where Andy was.

"Oh my baby boy..." I sobbed sitting down next to him, running my hand gently over his head. "I'm so sorry..." Leaning down I buried my face in his neck and sobbed. It wasn't until I heard a whimper that was to familiar to me that I looked up and saw him staring back at me. "Oh my baby." I kissed his head and he licked my face. "Your going to be ok... the vet said so." I smiled and he whimpered again. "I know baby...you gotta stay here a few days...they gotta make sure your healing correctly." He nudged my hand and I started stroking his head. "My brave baby boy... What were you thinking going up against that cougar? It could have killed you..." He simply nudged my hand and whimpered again, staring at me. The vet walked in then and told me they had to put andy in his cage to rest. "Bye baby boy. I'll see you in a few days...be good for the vets." He licked my hand as I stood up and walked out.

Once I was back in the waiting room Alice ran up and hugged me "How does he look?" I sighed "Hes wrapped up in bandages and stitches...all over. The cougar fucked him up good... didn't help that someone" I glared at Edward "shot him before he went against it... In the chest none the less." Alice sighed "Least he's going to be ok?!" I nodded and smiled "Yea. He'll be back to being my big baby in no time." Jasper walked over and gave me a one armed hug before we headed out. After everyone else went home and I was walking towards my door Edward came jogging over "Bella! Can I um talk to you for a minute?" I glanced at him and then to where the mixture of Jasper and Andys blood was on my grass. "Sure...What?" I glared at him as he walked over and came up onto my porch. He stared at me for a few minutes before taking a deep breath. "I uh...." He hesitated and I raised an eyebrow at him "Yes?" He had already tested me for enough this day and for days to come. Anger boiled through my veins as I leaned back against the door. "You should control your dog. Next time it attacks someone I will kill it." With that he turned and walked across the yard. Ooo that jackass! "Shoot my dog again and you'll pay!" I turned around and stormed inside, slamming the door behind me "Asshole."

Walking over to the cd player on the far wall I slipped in my No Doubt CD and turned it up full blast. The first song was of course, Don't speak. I rolled my eyes and walked over to the couch and picked up my favorite book. Wuthering heights. Flipping it open to the last page I continued reading where I had left off, barely reading though. My mind replayed the past few hours as the lyrics to the song blared around my house. Tuarwen was curled up at my feet on the couch, as I had my legs curled up under me.

You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me I can see us dying...are we?

Don't speak,
don't speak,
don't speak,
oh I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good,
I know you're good,
I know you're real good
Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la
Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush
don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts

Tears started to roll down my cheeks as the song came to the end. Would I ever be able to forgive Edward for shooting my dog? Sure Andy had attacked his brother, but he was only defending Alice... Edward had over reacted. Ha that sounded funny, over reacting to a dog attacking your brother. If someone had told me three days ago that i'd be thinking someone over reacted because my dog attacked their brother I would have laughed in their face. But really, Andy would have listened. He would have stopped. Edward should have let me control my dog, not shoot him. Of course, Jasper shouldn't have been fighting with Alice in my yard. Oh god now I was trying to blame Jasper for him getting attacked and my dog getting shot. I was a horrible person, I wouldn't be shocked if Edward never spoke to me again. I had chosen my dog over his brother, course Andy was like my child.... but still Edward didn't know that. Oh god I had to apologize to Edward...but first I had to....SHIT Gabriel! Standing I ran into my bed room and found him laying on my bed looking up from the ball he'd curled into. Scooping him up I clutched him to my chest "Oh my baby boy." He meowed probably because I was hugging him to tightly, but I released him and flopped down on my bed, burying my face into my pillows as silent tears streamed down my face. What was I going to do about Edward?
