Chapter 5
"What? But didn't you say…" Bella said shocked.
"I didn't? well that's what I thought." He said grimly looking at the floor. Bella didn't quite understand.
"What do you mean that that's what you thought?" She asked almost afraid from the answer. Edward sighed and started to explain without looking at Bella.
"Carlisle told me that sometimes…," He struggled to talk but he pushed himself to, "when a vampire that lives on animal blood, gets the feeling of thirst for human blood and denies it or just ignore it, he…he could a…attack unconsciously, and he'll never know he did." Bella gasped and looked at Edward not really knowing what she felt.
"It's rare, but it happens. That's why…" Edward looked at Bella with extreme desperation in his eyes, "I'll have to leave you."
"What?!" Bella cried, "No" She started to cry silently, Edward held her face in both his hands and looked at her.
"Bella, I knew I was dangerous but I could control it, but now I might kill you and never even notice." He looked deeply into her wet eyes, "Good bye, Bella" his sad eyes left hers, she tried to hold him back form his hand but he easily released his hands.
"Edward please. Don't leave me. I can't live without you. I'm willing to take the risk" She cried, her tears flooding down her cheeks. Edward closed his eyes and stood up. He turned his back on her, on his love, on his life and started to walk slowly towards the door, "I need you" Bella whispered to him. It cut him to hear her say this and can't turn back to her. But then something made him stop, just as he was reaching to the door handle he froze. He heard Bella, she wasn't talking to him. For the first time she was singing to him.
"I don't need a lot of things
I could get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring
I've always needed something
But I've got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You're my only reason,
You're my only truth"
Edward turned around and looked at her, she was standing beside her bed leaning on it for support. Her voice was weak but beautiful. She didn't know how she stood up but all she knew that she needed him badly and that's what gave her strength.
"I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That caries me through
I need you"
Edward smiled at her. He forgot al about leaving for a while. She gave him a weak smile, she remembered their first date, when they were at the meadow, that gave her more strength than ever.
"You're the hope that moves me
To courage again
You're the love that rescues me
When the cold wind rage
And it's so amazing
Cuz that's just how you are
And I can't turn back now
Cuz you've brought me too far"
That last sentence she sang with a high note that amazed him, he started walking back to her. Her heart lifted. She gave a wide smile as he came and hugged her and they started to dance in each other's arms. Bella continued to sing with her amazing voice.
"I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That caries me through
I need you"
And she ended the song looking into his eyes, trying to remember how to breath. He smiled at her and kissed her forehead.
"I won't leave" He whispered, she smiled as her heart beat fast. She was relieved.
"I didn't know that you have such an amazing voice" He told her dreamily, she blushed. He smiled as he felt her skin turn hot.
"Now that I know how amazing your voice sounds, I think I'll get rid of my CDs and record you instead." She flushed even more.
"I love you, and I can't live without you" She told him softly. He stroked her back gently.
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'll talk to Carlisle, maybe he'll have a way."
