Chapter 36 - Rollercoaster of Emotions
"Why didn't you come to me Edward? You know I would have done anything I could for you and Elizabeth." Jenks was sitting next to Edward's bed.
"I didn't... I didn't want to bother you. I didn't want to go begging to you." Edward sighed.
"For shit's sake, Edward!" Jenks snapped. "You wouldn't have been begging, you would have been asking a friend for help. It's ok to ask for help, Edward."
"I wish I could have understood that." Edward glanced over at Carlisle. The doctors said that Carlisle just over exhausted himself too fast. The emotions, the injuries, and trying to talk, it was too much too soon. They now had him on a slight sedative for his own good. Until he was stronger.
"He really cares for you, Edward. He loves you. I see that now. I regret the argument we had earlier, and the one the last time you were in a hospital." Jenks admitted.
"What argument earlier?" Edward asked.
"He called me looking for you... when I found out you were gone... I sort of blew up at him." Jenks explained.
"Fuck. Nothing was his fault. This was all me." Edward laid his head back.
"Get some rest Edward." Jenks stood up. "I'll come back a bit later. I need to go check into a hotel and get some rest myself. I need to call Marion, she wanted to come with me but I grabbed the first standby flight available."
"Crap... she's going to be mad..." Edward grimaced. Marion was Jenks' wife, and had been like an aunt to him. She was going to sure kick his ass when he got better.
"Oh... you just wait... I'm not gonna even try and save you there..." Jenks chuckled waving to him as he walked out.
Edward was tired. He had had a long morning and crazy night being beat up and all... he didn't know how he'd get through the rest of the day. He glanced at the clock.
9:24 A.M.
He had been on a rollercoaster of emotions for the last few days, weeks... shit the last month or so, since he came to Forks. He started to think back on the latest events in his life, and what happened earlier.
Earlier
7:40 A.M.
"Are you hurting? Should I move?" Bella asked Edward.
"No, stay." Edward said tightening his hold on her. She was laying in his bed with him.
"I was so scared, Edward." Bella finally cracked. She tried not to cry, she didn't want him to feel worse than he already did.
"Don't cry Bella." Edward said wiping tears off her cheeks. She was facing him and he was facing her.
"When my dad said... they hurt you... " Bella sniffled. "I felt like someone had hit me too."
"No one will ever hit you Bella. I promise you that." Edward said kissing her softly on the lips.
"OH! I don't know what rule you're breaking right now but you're breaking one!" Charlie startled them as he walked in.
Edward straightened up and tried to move away a bit from Bella, who ended up rolling off the bed as quick as she could, thankfully the bed railing was in the down position.
"We were just resting." Bella spoke.
"Bells, can we talk... in private." Charlie glanced at Edward who tried to avoid the Chief's gaze.
"Ok." Bella said following him out, glancing back at Edward once giving him an 'it's ok' look.
After a few minutes Edward thought that stuff might be ok, since he hadn't heard any shouting... but then it finally came.
"WHAT! YOU... WHAT!" Edward heard Charlie shout.
Oh God please don't let him be asking that because she... no she wouldn't... would she? FUCK!
"Dad, calm down!" Bella exclaimed.
"Dude... why is Bella and the Chief having a shouting match out there?" Emmett asked as he walked in. He walked over to Carlisle's bed.
"Fuck... what did you hear?" Edward asked.
"Something about her being an adult and whatever you guys did wasn't his b..." Emmett looked away from Carlisle to Edward. "Did you... and she..." He glanced at the door. "Did you two...?"
Edward nodded yes.
"Dude, you are fucking lucky someone kicked your ass because Chief Swan would be all over you right now." Emmett informed him.
"Shit! WHY would she tell him?" Edward groaned closing his eyes. He took a deep breath... the no longer a virgin issue was going to have to wait. "Did they tell you what happened earlier?" Edward tried to get out of bed.
"Don't... stay there. You shouldn't be hopping around." Emmett said. "And yeah, they told me when I came in... at least he woke up."
"I'm sorry you weren't here. They had to put him under, so he wouldn't try and talk and shit." Edward didn't listen and got out of bed anyways. He rolled his IV machine and heart monitor with him this time. He was getting a bit tired of being poked when they needed to re-insert the needles after they kept getting pulled out... well ripped off by Edward everytime he jumped out of bed and ran over to Carlisle.
"You never listen." Emmett shook his head.
"I'm in the process of learning." Edward sat down next to Emmett.
"Has Esme..." He trailed off.
"She doesn't blame you either, I already told you this." Emmett knew what he was trying to ask. "She's just worried. I actually got some sleeping pills for her. She needed to sleep but she was too tore up. I told her they were aspirin."
"She's gonna be pissed." Edward looked at him. "Where'd you get sleeping pills?"
"They were over the counter shit. Not the heavy prescription stuff, but it did the trick." Emmett sighed.
"Why aren't you back at the hotel asleep? You just left a bit ago." Edward eyed him.
"I couldn't sleep." Emmett grinned at the irony.
"You want me to slip you some pills like you did Esme?" Edward asked.
"Nah... but maybe you should pass out. It'll keep you safer from the Chief." Emmett laughed.
"Fuck." Edward looked towards the door. "I don't hear them anymore..."
"Hmm, that could be a good thing... but also a bad thing..." Emmett nodded.
"He asked me to leave her alone... not to see her..." Edward sighed.
"Seriously? That's fucked up." Emmett could understand the Chief's reservation against Edward and Bella dating but still, he didn't have the right to try and keep them apart.
"I told him no."
"The fuck?" Emmett asked. "Damn... and now he knows you deflowered his little girl... shit."
"I know... but she told him she wasn't going to stay away either. She walked in when we were talking." Edward yawned.
"Go lay down. I'll be here when you get up." Emmett assured.
Edward nodded in defeat and headed back to his bed. He fell asleep for a bit and true to his work, Emmett was still there when he had awoken. Until Jenks arrived Emmett had stayed and sat next to Carlisle's bed but left the room to give them some privacy. Now that he was alone, he decided to just let sleep take him for a while, he was feeling so tired but he was afraid to close his eyes... he didn't want to miss anything, any moment. What if Carlisle woke up when he was asleep? What if he didn't...
Edward sighed, and unable to keep his eyes open any longer he fell asleep.
Author Note: Uh oh... what did Bella tell Charlie? Hmm, we shall see, we shall see.
