Death and Resurrection
Chapter 51
Bella and I are taking a stroll through the park, that night last year nothing but a distant memory from another life.
I might have only gotten the full story about a month and a half ago, but it was long enough for me to accept that Bella did it because she loved me.
We stop under the lamp the lamp post, light bathing our faces.
"I love you," I whisper, taking her face in my hands and pressing my lips softly to hers.
"I love you, too, Edward," she breaths, retuning my kiss. "So much."
We stand there, sharing kisses.
I don't know how long we do but it was long enough for everything to change.
A man, wearing a dark sweatshirt with the hood pulled up concealing his identity, approaches us. And, as if in slow motion, he pulls out a gun and aims it at us.
Bella throws herself in front of me and shoves me down, down to the ground.
I miss everything but hear three shots ring loud and clear and a gut wrenching scream.
I look up and see both down. The man no longer moves but Bella - oh, Bella - she's struggling to pull her breathes through her teeth.
There's blood everywhere, pooling beneath her body.
I kneel beside her and attempt to staunch the blood with my jacket.
"Please," I sob. "Please don't leave me. I just got you back, Bella!"
What do you think is going to happen? Is Bella going to die? Or will the hit man get up and kill Edward, too?
Give me your ideas…More tomorrow.
