Chapter 26
**Bella**
My entire body tensed painfully for the second time tonight when I barely missed clipping a small blue car as I drove right through the red light in a busy intersection. I had been so occupied with looking back and forth between Oliver and Edward that I hadn't even noticed the light change color.
Thankfully, we were lucky and made it through the intersection without hitting anything. I swerved over to park on the side of the road, because neither of us were in any shape to drive at the moment.
We sat there quietly for what seemed like hours, until realization dawned on me.
"Edward, thank you. Jesus, you saved us. You saved our lives." I sobbed before abruptly grabbing his face and kissing him.
The tension seemed to melt from his stiff body as he relaxed into my embrace. I could tell he wanted to hold me, but he was covered in blood.
His lips parted from mine and kissed my forehead sweetly.
"I love you, Bella. I love you both. I had to act... I just couldn't bear it if something happened to either of you. You're both my life now," he admitted, his voice filled with more pain and emotion than I'd ever heard.
"I love you too, Edward. Oh... God, babe, are you okay. Did he hurt you?" I cried frantically, looking him over, checking for damage.
Edward was fine aside from his bruised knuckles, and once I was certain that he and Oliver were both okay. I asked him about the mugger and whether we should call the police. Edward shook his head adamantly and said "The bullet didn't hit anything... he'll live."
A/N
So now we have some more insight into Edward's feelings... and a near accident by Bella's reckless driving. Thoughts? Theories?
Another update coming soon!
