"But that doesn't explain how we got here." She whispers, gesturing around the room.
Do I tell her I know?
Will she be embarrassed?
I have to come clean.
"I've been here since yesterday. I know about the drugs…and about what you were planning on doing tonight."
I look at her…willing her to understand why I did what I did.
I couldn't let her do that.
"But I really needed that money." She sighs, wrapping her arm around herself as she realizes she's still topless.
I let go of her hand for just a second and pull my shirt up over my head.
She giggles when I tug it over her nose and she pushes her hands into the too-big sleeves.
"You will never have to worry about anything ever again." I whisper fiercely as I gently grab her face.
I expect to find relief in her eyes…
What I didn't count on was her stubbornness.
Typical Bella...
Sometimes I just can't get out of canon...
