Chapter 11
Hello strangers! I am so sorry for not updating! I can't really make up any excuses, all I can say is that I will try my best to get back into the story! Thank you for your support of the story so far, and please review!
Previously; Suddenly there was a loud bang! And several fully armed police officers burst into the room, guns drawn and kitted out in full body armour. Silence was immediate.
Edward PoV
Without thinking, I stepped closer to Bella and wrapped my arms round her waist protectively. I wasn't going to let anyone near her ever again. She was mine. The thoughts coming from the armed officers were confused and muddled – obviously they had no idea of what they were going to be facing, and they definitely were not expecting us. Guns were lowered and the men were exchanging looks of bewilderment. The man in the middle stepped forward; he was obviously the one with authority here. The tension increased with each step the Chief took towards Carlisle. Guns were armed and drawn up again; I crushed Bella to my chest as I felt her arms tighten around my waist. The sounds of nervous shuffling were deafening in the silence, and the footsteps were almost ear-splitting to my sensitive ears.
"What happened here?" The officer demanded in a rough, forceful voice, looking Carlisle straight in the eye, ignoring the mess the classroom was in. Carlisle answered the Chief back, his voice shaking.
"Officer, I am Carlisle Cullen. My son Edward was attacked by another pupil. Bella called me at the hospital and told me to come straight away as Edward had been knocked unconscious. By the time I had arrived, the pupil who wrecked havoc on this classroom, and my son, had disappeared." I marvelled at how calm Carlisle was, and at how easily the lies slid off his tongue.
The Chief looked at Carlisle with a disbelieving look on his face.
"A student did this?" He looked around the classroom, taking in the damage with unsure eyes.
I stepped forward.
"Officer, my name is Edward Cullen. The student in question had been terrorising my girlfriend, and since she rejected him he has, to put kindly, lost his mind. He came into the classroom and attempted to attack Bella. If I hadn't stepped in when I did, Bella would be dead."
"Well… I can't say that I believe this, but I can't find any other explanation." He barked out a rough laugh. "I'll be in touch, Dr Cullen; I'll need you all t'be givin' statements t' clear this situation up. And you, I guess I can't arrest you for savin' a life. Good on yer son" He nodded at me once before he left the room, followed shortly by his men, who couldn't believe what was happening. Neither could we for that matter.
The silence in the room was suddenly heavy, interrupted only by the fading footsteps and murmured conversation of the police.
The classroom door shut loudly, the sound reverberating around the room; Bella looked up at me slowly, disbelieving. That did it. I burst out laughing. Spinning Bella round, I crushed my lips to hers, happy that my love was safe. A round of wolf-whistles and laughter sounded from my family and I felt Bella's face heat up in embarrassment.
Beaming, I looked into Bella's beautiful chocolate eyes.
"Come on. Let's go home." Keeping my arm firmly wrapped around Bella's waist, we walked out of the classroom.
