Chapter 20: My Edward
Bella was confused, she had Edward's life in one hand and James in the other. Which one will fall? The answer of that question depended on her choice (no pressure lol). But she had no other choice she had to do it now. She looked at both of them with tears in her eyes. They both looked back at her with the same pained expression. Pain for her pain.
"You don't have to do this" Both Edwards whispered to her. She shook her head.
"I won't let you be his slave" She said strongly through her tears. Then she got and idea, she wasn't sure if it will work. It will if Edward caught up quickly. "I have an idea" she whispered to her family they looked at her confused and so did the two Edwards.
"Edward" She called looking at both of them intently.
"Yes" They both said looking at her. But both voices weren't the same, one was full of hope the other full of fear but she couldn't get which one's voice was full of fear.
"Do you need me as much as I needed you before?" She asked raising one eyebrow looking at both of them.
"Yes" but both faces weren't the same anymore one was blank the other brightened with understandment.
"How much do you need me?" She asked her heart started beating, she was close she felt it. Her eyes wandered on the bright faced Edward on her right. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. From the corner of her eyes she saw signs of panic on the other Edward's face. The Edward that was on her right opened his eyes and looked directly into her eyes. He opened his mouth and the most beautiful musical voice came out of it as he sang,
"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"
He stopped and looked at Bella with a smile on his perfect face. She couldn't talk, she was stunned with the beauty of his sweet velvet voice, a wide smile spread on her face.
"That's my Edward, my love" She said with a smile, not lifting her eyes from his face. His smile widened. The other Edward growled, She turned to look at him. Before she could even realize what happened, he ran to attack her, Bella's eyes widened in fear. She couldn't move a muscle but just before he could get any closer to her he slammed into Jasper who pushed him back. James was pushed hard that he flew and hit the tree.
"No you didn't win" He growled just before flames of fire started erupting from his body. He growled in pain as the flames were getting bigger covering every part in his body. Bella flinched from the sight but couldn't look away. Now all that was visible was the big flame of fire, no sign of anybody in it. Suddenly the flame disappeared and left the ground in it's place clean and empty. It was James-free. Once the fire was gone, it with it all signs of weakness and hard breathing that was in her.
"I could stand now, thank you" She told them smiling. Before the left her, they all gave her a group hug that was going to crush her.
"Thank you for saving my son" Esme whispered gratefully.
"We'll never be able to repay you" Carlisle said happily. She didn't bother to say welcome, she wanted them to release her so that she could go to Edward. Once they did, they went and Embraced Edward, only Carlisle and Esme though.
"Thank you Jasper" Bella told him with a warm smile. Jasper smiled.
"You don't need to thank me sis" He told her.
"I like the sound of that, bro" she laughed. And to increase her shock, he opened his arms for her. She looked at them and then at him. He was smiling sincerely. So she hugged him. It was the first time. It looks like Jasper got over his little problem, "What changed things this way?" Bella asked curiously. He laughed.
"I want you to know that I consider you my sister even if you are a human. I love you more than to be overcome anymore. So are you going to be my big sis or my little sis?" He asked laughingly. Bella was so happy.
"Big sis definitely, I will be married to your older brother, aren't I?" She said thrilled. She like the sound of the word 'will' there was no reason to doubt anymore, he was alive. Because of her. He released her. She looked at him with a smile before she turned to see if they released Edward yet. She found him staring at her with a smile. She ran to him, and hugged him. It was his warm hug, she didn't lose it. His crooked smile was there, his soft golden eyes. Everything that she loved and thought that she'll never see again were there.
"You saved my life" He whispered in her ear. She smiled and blushed.
"My pleasure" She mocked a fake accent. He laughed. He raised her head and held it in his hands.
"I thought that I will never see your face again" He said quietly as he examined her face with his soft golden eyes.
"Guess how I felt, when your life could be ended because of me" She mumbled. He laughed.
"I don't need to guess, I know how it felt, it's horrible isn't it?" He teased.
"It is. I think I should give you more credit next time." She smiled apologetically.
"Next time?" He asked faking an alarmed tone.
"Oh come on. Your standing with the queen of bad luck. You have to admit that you're sure that this isn't the end of my bad luck." She said rolling her eyes at her klutzyness. He laughed.
"hmmm I guess you're right" He said as he leaned his head on hers. They both closed their eyes and relaxed.
"I love you" Edward whispered still not opening his eyes.
"I love you" Bella whispered not opening her eyes too. They stood like that for an immeasurable moment, but they were both unwilling to move. Edward lifted his head and carried Bella.
"How about we get you back home?" He whispered with his crooked smile on his face.
"hmmm which one?" She asked. He looked confused.
"What do you mean?" He asked puzzled.
"I mean the one with Charlie there waiting to ambush me with questions like why I was late and what happened and did we find you? Or.." She turned to look at The Cullens with a smile, "The one where my family is staying?" They smiled at her, she felt warm from her insides.
"I think you should pick what you want, even though Charlie's option seems very relaxing and welcoming" He laughed. Bella laughed.
"I think I need some quality with my family" The smile spread on everyone's face. She yawned.
"Your tired" He noted.
"Just sleepy, it was a long week and a half" They both chuckled.
"Why don't you sleep" He said gently. Bella thought.
"Tell you what, I'll sleep but you won't run so I could take some time. And when we get there wake me up, ok?" She suggested.
"Ok, love" He chuckled. She sighed, "What?" he asked when she didn't sleep.
"I don't wanna close my eyes" she admitted blushing. He smiled, and pressed his cool lips on her forehead. She closed her eyes.
"Good night, love" He whispered in her ears. She smiled.
"Goodnight, my Edward"
