I love New Moon! I am already 60 pages into it xD That chapter in it with Carlisle and Bella so reminded me of this story! I was like "Bella, you know you like Carlisle!" xD
- - - - - - - - -
Bella made her way through the house, in search for Alice's room but as she turned a corner, Carlisle stepped out in front of her and blocked her path. "Well, hello Bella. Did you enjoy the baseball game?" Bella nodded, unsure of what to say to him. She was about to walk around him but he stopped her again. "Sorry you had to see us fighting."
This gave Bella the chance to tell him. "Edward told me to tell you sorry. I think he is moving on but I'm not so sure. He still seems to like me a lot." Bella looked down and messed with the zipper on her coat. If she looked into Carlisle's eyes, she might not be able to think straight.
"That's good... he thought we had something going on. Do you know what he means by that?" He asked, watching her reaction to what he said. She nodded slowly but still didn't look up. "I might have this wrong, but I think you like me." Bella couldn't look up but she stood very still, staring at the ground. This was going to turn very awkward and she wanted to leave. "Am I wrong?"
She shook her head. "It's late. I have to go..." She looked up as she said it. Bad idea. As she looked into his eyes, her mind went blank and her body would't move.
"You are right. Would you like me to run you home?" She couldn't answer him. He smiled and took her hand, pulling her outside. "Do you get sick very easily?" She was able to shake her head but still stood very still. His hand was ice cold. "I think you may like this." He lifted her up onto his back with one hand and took off running. She doesn't get sick easily but this sure did the job. After a minute of watching trees go by in a blur, she felt so sick, she screamed at Carlisle to stop. He did but she noticed she was already at her house, Charlie was home already. "I thought you wouldn't get sick..." Bella felt like throwing up but kept it down.
"I just need to lay down..." She said, walking dizzily to the front door.
Carlisle helped her but stopped when they got there. "I'll meet you in your room, okay? I don't want your dad wondering why I'm with you." He walked away. Bella wondered how he was going to get into her room without Charlie seeing, except for maybe the window...
She walked in and saw Charlie sitting in a recliner, waiting for her. "My gosh, Bella. Are you okay?" He asked when he saw her pale face.
"Yeah. I guess it is my time to get sick... I am going to go to sleep. See you in the morning." After that, she walked to her room where a Carlisle was already waiting for her.
Bella still felt sick so she layed down on her bed. "You will get used to it after awhile. You have to admit, it was fun, right?" Carlisle asked, sitting down beside her. He put his hand on her face, cooling it. She started feeling a little bit better. Carlisle was a good doctor...
She started dozing off but wanted to make sure of something. "Don't leave. Will you stay here till morning?"
He leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Yes. I'll be here. You should rest..." And with that, Bella fell asleep.
She had a very bad dream about Carlisle and Edward fighting. This time though, Carlisle was the one that lost. Edward got out of control and went too far. Carlisle wouldn't move. Even though Bella knew he wasn't dead, she was very scared. Jasper was laughing in the background. Bella heard a scream.
"Bella! It's just a bad dream. It's okay." A soft voice whispered in her ear. She opened her eyes and tried to focus. Carlisle was there, looking concerned. "You about made me deaf with that scream of yours." He joked. Bella noticed he was laying right beside her.
"Charlie! Did he hear? Is he coming?" Bella sat up, worrying.
Carlisle sat up too and pulled her towards him. "No. He already left for work. Did I mention, I love watching you sleep?" He smiled down at her and she blushed.
"I bet your family is worried. Did you let them know you are here?" Bella asked.
"No I didn't but they know." He said quietly, kissing her forehead. "I haven't kissed anyone in a long time. Since... Esme died." He looked really sad. Bella knew it hurt him a lot.
"How long ago?" She tried to choose her words carefully without upsetting him more.
He thought a moment. "About forty years ago. It seems not too long ago though. That's what makes it worse." He seemed to recover though. "After I met you, things changed. More hope of moving on. You make me so happy, Bella." He let those words sink in.
"I can't even explain how I felt when I first saw you..." She said, looking up into his eyes. This time though, it didn't make her mind go blank. Maybe she was getting used to him. "How did... you know... Esme get killed? Aren't vampires able to be almost unstoppable?" She regretted asking because his eyes turned to anger.
The anger wasn't directed at her of course, but of a memory. "Another vampire had come by where we lived in Alaska. He started killing the people and Esme didn't like it so she tried to stop him... He wouldn't stop and didn't want Esme to get in the way so he... killed her and ran. I have looked for him ever since but I do not know what he looks like. Only Esme saw and of course she is dead..." The pain filled him again. "There are very few of us who feed off of just animals. So please, Bella, be careful. Don't make stupid decisions and run into another vampire who wouldn't hesitate to kill you. I would rather die than to have another person that I love be killed."
