Hello!
It's probably still April 8 in other places, but I can't update later. I'll be leaving later. This is just a short update before I go.
Thanks for the reviews on the previous chapter!

Somewhere Love Remains
Chapter Fourteen: Had Enough
I'm tired of barely holding on
To something that's already gone.
I'm tired of being the one who's in this all alone...
Nothing.
I had no more reason to go on with life. I couldn't picture myself in the future. Maybe I should really just die, end all of my sufferings.
My death was fast approaching. Blood were all over me. In my hair, my face, my hands, my legs, just all over my body. It was like I was drowning in it.
I was barely awake when I felt someone carrying my naked body dripping with blood. All I could see were bright white lights. I could feel something so fluffy around me, and I thought, it was an angel carrying me.
Maybe he would bring me up to heaven. Up there where there were so sufferings, no tears, just happiness and contentment. He came to save me. I wonder what took him so long. If he had gotten me away here years ago, I wouldn't be feeling this so much pain. Everything up to the tips of my being hurts.
I wanted to close my eyes and drift away from the pain, but I thought I couldn't until I tell him how grateful I was that he came for me.
I wanted to say a whole paragraph of thanks, but my throat felt so dry that all I managed to was whisper, "Thanks for saving me."
All of a sudden, we were so fast. He was walking or should I say running. I could feel a sudden rush of cold air. It only explains that we were outside. But why?
With my question unanswered I shut my eyes close, tiredness finally taking over me. And then I could feel someone shaking me. So hard, that my eyes opened again. I looked up at him and then realized he was no angel.
It was Emmett. He eyes were bloodshot, face pale with anxiousness and blood all over his shirt and some on his face.
"Bella, please, don't sleep. I'll bring you to the hospital, please," he pleaded as he placed me on the passenger seat of the van that belonged to the Hales. It was the one that he was using when we were out or when I needed to meet up with Victoria or Alice.
I wish I could tell him that I couldn't stay awake because I was so tired and I had no reason to fight this.
I smiled weakly at him, closed my eyes, and again, fell into a deep sleep. I was sure that it would be the last time that I could.

Guilt.
I was being consumed by it. I never imagined things would end up in a riot. I just wanted Bella to know her father and know the truth from Mom. That night Dad brought Charlie while we were having dinner with the Cullens dumbfounded me. That was really unexpected of him. He always put a good face in front of the Cullens, how could he be so careless and not thinking? Was he really that desperate to stop the wedding?
I told him that I wasn't interested in marrying Edward and I had no feelings for him. I thought my words would turn things around, but it did the opposite. For the first time, he hit me. He slapped my cheek, telling me that I had no right not to obey him after all these years that he gave me all that I wanted. Since then, we hadn't spoken. I never hated someone as much as I hated him right now. He was so cruel, not even caring that Bella was dying in the hospital, mainly because of him.
All week, I had been staying at my bedroom and barely going out.
I never wanted Bella to end up the hospital. I didn't know the reason why, I refused to know. I didn't want to know or I might break down. All I knew was that she lost so much blood. I couldn't help but wonder if she cut herself again like what she did before.
Even in my dreams, I was haunted with the image of Bella bathing in her own blood. She wasn't even screaming for help, but she was just staring, staring at me with her bloodshot eyes. She looked so empty and so tired. I was afraid that if I touched her, she would break apart.
I kept telling myself that Bella was strong and she could get over this just to at least make myself better. But inside, there was a part of me that was asking why she hadn't woken up yet. There had to be something wrong. There must probably be a big damage in her body that was taking time to repair.
I didn't know how Dad got those documents in my room. I had it secured in a secret compartment in my closet after I talked to Mom. The only reason that I could think of was that he heard us talking. But it couldn't be since he was in the office. Another theory and my last was that he had a spy in the house. It must have been some maid whom she doubled the salary. I need to know who that was.
The reason why Bella's bleeding is still not revealed. You can still guess what it is. :)
Review?
