DISCLAIMER – I do not own the Twilight Saga. I only own Mary Swan. Happy Reading!
She looked at me wide eyed and trembling. "What for exactly?" she asked back shakily.
I took a deep breath "For ignoring you. For putting Bella before you, my best-friend" I answered moving closer to the tub. She took a deep shaky breath. "Are you just saying that because Bella has left?" she asked me bitterly, I flinched at her tone. I shook my head in response. Bella made her choice and now I must focus on my imprint. She is who I should have been focusing this entire time.
"Have you any idea what you've put me through?" she asked me quietly her head looking down into the water.
"I realise now how I hurt you. I am so sorry Mary. What can I do to earn your forgiveness?" She looked up at me, the tears shining in her eyes. She sobbed and the tears were streaming down her cheeks. She needed to cry, she needed to let the pain that she had been holding in out.
"Right, lets get you out of this bath" I told her and knelt into a position where I could easily stand up. She nodded and I put my hands under her arms and pulled her into a standing position in the bath. I never realised how beautiful she was. Her pale skin now pink from the warm water. How soft her skin was. I held her hand as I reached down and picked up her towel, turning off her music as I did so. I wrapped the towel around her shoulders and she brought her hands up to grasps the tops of it so that she could keep the towel on her. She shakily stepped out of the bath, water dripping off of her. I pulled the plug out of the bath so it could drain. I then led her into her room taking her speaker and phone with us.
Once we were in her room I set her speaker and phone down on top of a chest of drawers. She stood in the middle of her room. Her small body trembling with the force of the tears streaming down her face. I went up behind her and wrapped my arms around her, she collapsed into my arms no longer able to keep herself standing. How could I have been so blind?
