Chapter Thirty-Eight
I didn't want to have to save Bella. I didn't want to have to become involved in something that I had no business getting into.
But I knew I needed to.
I wouldn't be able to sleep at night knowing I did absolutely nothing to help someone so desperately in need.
Bella was strong. So much stronger than she let herself realize.
There was still so much she was keeping from me, but I knew in her own time she would come clean. In her own time she would figure out I wasn't the enemy and that it was okay to trust people.
Here I was thinking the hard part was getting her to open up to me.
Boy, was I wrong; so wrong.
The hard part would be convincing her to get her mother help; to leave her.
Because Renee needed help.
And Bella needed me.
She deserved to live her own life.
I was going to help her get it back.
A/N: Shortest chapter ever? Edward is being the strong silent type right now. I'm interested in seeing who would want a Renee POV. I'm shuddering just thinking about having to go *there*. One more update in an hour!
