How to Save a Life

by bexie25

Step one you say we need to talk, he walks you say sit down, it's just a talk. He smiles politely back at you. You stare politely right on through. Meeting on a bus, Edward and Bella are immediately attracted to each other but their gloomy, abuse-ridden pasts make them both hesitant to trust anyone. Follow them as Bella learns not only how to save a life, but hers is saved as well.

36. Chapter 35

Alice and Jasper notice my worry and glumness, but don't ask.

I internally thank them for that, not knowing how I'd respond if they did ask.

We eat homemade – Jaspermade – pizza for dinner. Jasper and I tease Alice halfheartedly about drinking alcohol.

She throws grapes at us.

We all laugh, but there's someone's laugh that I wanna hear more of.

I check my phone again and again throughout the night.

Nothing. Zilch, nadda.

I worry some more.

And when I finally lay down in my bed, underneath the sheets… my phone dings.

I smile as I read the message.

Hey beautiful. I'm ok. I'll see you tomorrow on the bus, yeah?

I quickly text him back.

Yeah.

Ah, the relief of knowing that he's ok. Bella is feeling it.

Are you?

Oh and just thought I'd let you know, in Chapter... 27, there was a bit of a glitch. It said that Edward's mother married a much nicer woman, Esme. I meant that his FATHER had married Esme, so ignore that little glitch.

review it.
