Since Emmett had bounced joyfully from the room, time for my escape as well. Grabbing my board I wrote "I'm going to go get started" and quietly left to the room. I could hear them all chatting in the living room mostly focusing on how well I'm doing down here and if I needed to return with them. Trying my best to ignore them or supper would never get finished. I began looking through Charlie's fridge and cabinets the best I could do with what he had was Lasagna, garlic bread, green beans and mashed potatoes. So I quickly set myself in zone and got started cooking. After an hour and half passed the food was almost done so I snuck out the back door and went outside for a second to catch my breath.
"Bella, you out here?" Edwards's velvet voice sliced through the damp air. I could hear his footsteps getting closer as I left out gush of air I did not realize I was holding. Our eyes met for a brief second before I was quickly and forcefully wrapped in his warm embrace.
"Bella are you okay?" he asked concerned. Breaking free from his embrace I got as close as possible to whisper in his ear.
"I thought I could do this but I can't I just want to run away and never be found." I stated.
"I am here for you Bella I will do anything, including walking right in there and beating the shit out of him if you want me to. Just ask me, tell me what I can do to help. But don't keep doing that…" He said with sigh pointing to my shirt sleeve that was currently sporting a new red stain. I quickly got to my feet and ran inside turning the stove off and running to change clothes before anyone else could see. Walking slowly back downstairs I could see everyone had already gathered in the dining room. Alice and Rose were glaring toward Phil I wanted to tell them to stop it. I glanced at Edward and as if he could read my mind I could see Rose jump. I could only assume Edward kicked her which made her kick Alice. If it was any other circumstance it would have been hilarious to encounter such entertainment. I set all the food on the table and dinner had officially began.
"To all of you I just wanted to thank you for bringing our Bella back to us. I just know she will start talking again. So me and Phil just want to thank to all of you." Renee stated pleasingly.
"We miss our Bella a lot don't we Renee, in fact we were hoping she would come visit us next month." How you feel about that Bella?" Phil asked with a sly smirk.
I knew I looked horrible but I don't believe many were paying attention to me because Edward started to choke on his drink of water. Causing a fit of everyone trying to assure that he was okay. He excused himself from the table after a few moments I left the table myself. Headed upstairs to do what makes me feel safe, by watching crimson flow. With my blade in hand I was about to break skin when in walked Edward. Can you say AWKWARD?
"Bella give," he said disappointed.
I shook my head no, but he pushed on.
"Now Bella, we will solve this with your fathers help after he leaves no if, and, or buts, about it. I will not allow you to go to him and get hurt, I can't. I didn't mean to cause a scene down there that but that caught me by surprise. Now give me that blade I cannot lose the woman I love when it has took me this long to find you." He pleaded. Grabbing the blade from my hand he brought his hand up to force me to look him in the eyes.
"I love you to."
