Chapter 50
Definitely Inevitable

She jumps in front of me. Slams her small body literally into mine. I hit the fridge mid-seizure, my body freezing under the sudden deluge of fire I was under.
"Edward, look at me! Look at me!"
My unseeing eyes fly open. I hear her gasp. It's nothing compared to the roaring I can feel building inside. The universe is still very much 'attacking' me. I couldn't see anything but the images it was superimposing upon my mind.
Still, I feel every inch of her. I smell her and it leaks down to my lowest cellular level.
There's no fear of me attacking her although I admit I very much want to. I can't move. Can't even speak. My body has been grounded and frozen to the point that it went from being unstable to being immovable.
And the girl still wouldn't move away.
"Tell me you're ok. Speak to me. Edward, whatever was just happening to you looked fucking scary," Bella pleaded, her voice catching.
I inhale.
The deluge of memories begins to rush back, leaving room for my awareness to fully center on what is happening.
On the girl in front of me. A girl who's scent is absolutely mouthwatering to me.
"Edward?"
I can't take it. Weak and disturbed by the things I knew, I'm unable to hold myself back. Before I can even think about what I'm doing, I'm doing it, and next thing I know, I have her tight in my arms.
Fucked up part about it? Bella hugged me back.
