That's What Little Girls Are Made Of...
Chapter One Thirty
BPOV
My heart was threatening to pound right out of my chest.
This couldn't be true... could it?
Vaguely, somewhere off in the distance, I could hear Edward growling into his phone. No doubt making plans for us to go to Alaska. It was only moments after we saw the two agents to the door that we were tearing into the first of the two envelopes.
Following Edward's lead, I didn't let on to the fact that they even existed. Like Edward, I believed that this was something that we had to do ourselves. And, as much as I hated guns and violence, I couldn't wait to see Eleazar pay for what he'd done.
I don't know how long I'd sat there just staring off into space when the sweet smell of sweet-pea, Rose's signature fragrance, engulfed me. Immediately, I was wrapped in her strong embrace. "R-Rose, when did you get here," I choked out.
"Sweetie, I've been here," she said softly. "Edward was worried; he called me when he couldn't get you to respond." Brushing the hair away from my face, Rose cupped my cheek and a sob ripped from my chest. "It's okay, B; I'm here, we're all here," She said as I felt another set of strong arms join hers around me.
My family...
They were here, once again supporting Edward and me in our time of need. I had no idea when they'd arrived, but Jasper, Emmett, Seth, Jacob, Alice, and Rosalie were all here, moving around the apartment, in preparation for our trip.
I knew it was pointless to try and convince them to stay here and go about their own lives. Jacob and Seth had school, and the rest of them had businesses to run, but no matter what, we were a family, and you always stuck by your family. Besides, they would do anything for Carlisle and Esme. Those two people meant a lot to more than just me and Edward.
Thinking of family, my eyes were once again drawn to the now damp, wrinkled letter in my hands. There, in black and white, was the proof that we'd been looking for.
They were alive!
Me-Me and Carlisle were alive!
I just hoped that we weren't too late.
If Carlisle's sister, Maggie, changed her mind we may never see Me-Me and Carlisle again.
While the first time didn't kill me, losing them all over again would be the final nail in my coffin.
Looking down and the wrinkle letter in my hand, I just prayed that Maggie kept her word, and it wasn't too late to save them. In her letter, Maggie warned us not to involve the authorities, but she didn't say anything about a group of friends... a family that was willing to do anything for each other.
As we boarded the private jet that Emmett had secured under such short notice, I felt the weight of our situation fall heavy on my. Sitting in the seat next Edward, I stared out the window, watching the crew prepare the plane for takeoff. "Hey," Edward leaned in and whispered in my ear. "No matter what happens, we stick together, okay?"
"Okay," I whispered back.
"I love you."
"I love you too." And that was all it took to put me at ease.
For now, anyway...
Anybody ready to kick some Alaskan A$$? See you guys tomorrow! Leave me some love!
