"Hello, darling. So, what are we going to do now? Do you want to go somewhere and eat something?" I asked her as soon as she get into my car, with all over her breathtaking scent, greeting me and smiling at me widely.
"Are you crazy? Just look outside, it is raining like hell. So what about my house…warm…dry…?" she said, looking at my face.
"Whatever you say, my princess." I replied, making her laugh. I loved the way her laughed. Did I already mention that?
When we came to her house, she quickly got out of the car and as she was trying to get into the house as quick as possible, she sprained her ankle. Her face crossed with pain and I was there immediately to catch her before she could fall.
"Isabella…just because you don't like the rain, you don't have to kill yourself, you know." I said. Even through the pain on her face I saw, that she glared at me. I sighed and took her into my arms, walking with her into the house. I put her on the couch and I kneeled down to look at her ankle.
"Does it hurt?" I asked as I moved it, but I didn't really need to ask, I could read from her face, that it hurt like hell.
"Yeah, a little." she said. I raised my eyebrows. A little ? She was probably going to be the death of me. Couldn't she just admit, that it was really painful?
"What am I going to do with you, Bella? I guess you don't want to go to the hospital, huh?" I asked, but I didn't needed to ask at this one either. She grimaced, "Ok, then. Do you have a kit here?" I asked. She nodded, pointing at a shelf in the corner of the room. I opened it, immediately finding the kit. I bandaged it and I told her she should not stand on that foot. She grimaced again.
"Bella, are you hungry?" I asked her, looking at her face.
"Yeah, a little." she said.
"And do you want me to go and bring you something?" I asked then.
"No, I think I will pick up the last piece of my torn and embarrassed pride and I'll hop to the kitchen." she replied, making me laugh. But she really was serious and she stood up, hoping to the kitchen. I watched her with a concerned face. She was so human, so…fragile. I was actually concerned about her. I've never felt like this before. My whole family were vampires, so there really wasn't a chance, that they could hurt themselves like this and now the feeling was here and it was thousand times worse than it would be if I love anyone else, because of Bella's unbelievable clumsiness and talent to be something like trouble magnet.
"Are you alright, darling?" I called for her.
"Yeah, it's good. Don't you want to come here? It's kind of boring to be here alone." she replied. I stood up from the floor I was kneeling on and I walked into the kitchen. She was sitting there, eating bread with butter, smiling me. I smiled back at her, watching her eat.
When she was done, I helped her to get into her room and into her bed, sitting next to her. The good thing was, that I had a perfect explanation for Chief Swan, why is my car parking on front of his house again. Bella sprained her ankle and I just did my job, when I helped her to get into the house, when she actually could not walk, didn't I?
"Carlisle?" she suddenly asked, interrupting the long line of my thought about what to say to Chief Swan.
"Yes, Bella?" I replied, leaning closer to her. She laid her head down on my shoulder.
"What is going to happen with us?" she asked silently, as if she wasn't not sure, if she really wants to know the answer. I sighed. What the hell did she expected me to say.
"What exactly do you mean with that?" I asked, trying to make her tell me, what is she thinking about at the moment.
"What is going to happen next. Are you…Are you going to leave me?" she asked and there wasn't any trace of emotion in her voice, when she said that. I guess she really could hide them when she wanted.
"Isabella…I am not going to leave, unless you'll want me to. I would never do that to you." I said and I kissed her on the top of her head to prove that I am perfectly serious. Once I have seen her broken and I promised to myself, that I won't allow her to feel like that again, even less if it should be because of me.
"But what about Esme? And what about your family?" Bella asked again, more urgently. She wanted to know it all, the future and I really couldn't blame her for that. She wasn't sure, what she can expect, especially after Edward just left her. I understood it.
"We are going to find some way how to do this, OK? I don't know what is happening here between us but I know, that I have never in my life felt like this. And if we are meant to be together, then we are going to find a way, I promise." I said. She looked up at me, smiling a little and she caught my hand, entwining our fingers.
"I love you, Carlisle…" she whispered suddenly. My head was empty in that one second. After this little three words she whispered to me, I wondered, if life could get any better. This seemed to be too much perfection for a vampire. I wasn't sure, that I really deserved her love.
"I love you, too." I replied, hiding my face in her long brown hair. She sighed contently and I could feel that she smiled.
We were just lying like that for a half hour and then I notice that she fell asleep. I could never really understand it. How could she fall asleep on something that's actually hard like a the hardest stone? And she didn't even seem to be uncomfortable, she was still smiling a little, her hand still captured in mine. I started to make a little circles with my thumb on the back of her hand. It was really calming and fortunately it didn't wake her up.
Few hours later, behind the window, there was already deep darkness, I heard Charlie's car parking down on the parking place in front of the house. I looked down at the sleeping brunette in my arms and even though I didn't wanted to wake her up, I knew I will have to. So I just put my cold hand on her cheek, 'causing her to shiver a little.
"Charlie's here, my love." I whispered to her, when I saw that she slowly opened her big brown eyes. When I said the name of her father, she quickly sat up still half asleep, but completely shocked.
"Oh my god. What are you going to say to him?" she asked in panic, staring at my face, asking for an answer.
"Shh, It is alright." I said to calm her down as I stood up.
"I don't think it's alright. Charlie is going to hunt you with a shot-gun. " she said, looking at my face, obviously scared. I fought the urge to laugh, when I imagined Chief Swan hunting me. Well, it wouldn't be that funny if it really happened, but in this situation it seemed pretty funny.
"Calm down, Bella, OK? I'll tell him, that you came home and as you wanted to be soon as home, you ran and because you are unbelievably clumsy," she snorted when I said that, making me chuckle, "you sprained your ankle. He knows you, so he'll know, that you would never call to the hospital, so you called me, because I am the only doctor you know. So I came here to help you and I took you into your bed, because apparently you can not walk. That's all." I explained to her. She calmed down a little.
"Do you really have an answer for everything?" she asked, teasing me. I smiled at her.
"No. Honestly, Bella, I don't have either half of the answers I would like to have." I replied seriously. She looked up at me, biting her lip, probably thinking about what was that supposed to mean. I wished she didn't.
"Well, I think I should go down and explain this situation to Charlie, what do you think?" I said. She nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, don't make him shoot you, OK? Oh, and are you going to come later?" she asked before I could leave the door.
"If you want me to." I replied, shrugging, but I already knew, what was her answer going to be.
"No doubts I do." she said. I nodded and walked out of her door.
"Bella?" Chief Swan asked from the living room, probably thinking that I was his daughter.
"She's in her room, Chief Swan." I said calmly, trying not to make him angry. I really didn't wanted him to take out his shot-gun, not that he could simply kill me with shooting at me, but still. It would be quite uncomfortable.
"Dr. Cullen?" he asked in disbelief and he came to look if it's really me.
"Um…hi." I said, smiling like an idiot.
"What brings you here again? Did anything happen to Isabella?" he asked quickly, his face worried but still pretty suspicious as he was watching my reaction.
"Actually, yes. She came home and we both know how much she hates when it rains, so she tried to get home as soon as possible and she didn't focus on her feet and she sprained her ankle. And because she really didn't wanted to call to the hospital…"
"…she called you." he completed my sentence. I just nodded. He laughed, "she is really impossible, isn't she?
"Yeah, she is. Anyway, I have to go. I have some important work to do, so if you don't mind, I will leave. If anything will happen, she'll get worse or something, just call me, OK?" I said, even though I was sure it is not going to be necessary, because I will guide her the whole night.
"Of course. I am going to go and look at her. Have a good night, Dr. Cullen." he wished me. I nodded as I left the house, getting into my car. I parked further in the street under the trees where nobody could see me - at least not a human. I was just about to go to their house, when my cell phone started to ring. I cursed, quickly taking it out of my pocket. It was Alice. As soon as I saw her name on the display, I knew that something I wrong.
"Alice?" I answered the phone.
"Carlisle, where are you? Are with Bella? Tell me, you're not!" Alice asked co quickly, that if I wasn't vampire, I wouldn't understand her a word.
"I am not with Bella yet." I said.
"Thanks god. Than if you're not at home, just go there now, OK?" she commended.
"Alice, would you tell me, what the HELL is happening?" I asked sharply. She sighed.
"I am so sorry. I know that I should call you a lot sooner, but I just didn't see it coming. Really. You know that I would tell you everything!" she started to explain in apologizing tone, not helping me find out, what is going on. What could be wrong? What happened?
"Alice! Just tell me, what did you see, OK?" I commanded.
"OK, I'll tell you. Just don't do anything reckless, can you hear me?" she said. Why the hell should I do anything like that.
"Alice-"
"Edward is coming back to Forks…" she whispered. I was so shocked that I almost dropped the phone.
"Excuse me? Edward is what? Does he know?" I asked her again, feeling fear running through my veins.
"No, he doesn't know anything. He didn't even come back to the family. I was watching his decisions. And he decided, that he can not live without Bella anymore. He is coming back to Forks, tonight. And if he'll find you with Bella, it is not going to end well, I saw it." she explained.
"OK…but still, I have to tell her." I said, still shocked with that news.
"Call her, then. Just, please, go home. And hide your thoughts, at least as long as it is going to be necessary."
"What the hell do you mean with that?" I asked her.
"I am sorry, Carlisle…but I really don't know, how Bella will react…" Alice said in very apologizing tone. That couldn't be good.
"You mean, that there is a possibility, that she will just go back to Edward?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer.
"Yes, that is exactly what I mean. He future isn't clear. I don't know what to expect. Just call her. And go home. Clear your head and everything will come out somehow. Goodbye, Carlisle…" Alice just said and she hung up. Nice.
I quickly got into my car, immediately reaching Bella's phone number. It was ringing for a few minutes, before she finally answered it.
"Yes?"
"Bella." I just whispered.
"Carlisle? What happened? Why do you sound do worried?" she asked quickly. Damn, she could even recognize it from my voice, that I was worried. She was so amazing, I couldn't help myself.
"Isabella…Alice called me. Just calmly listen to me, OK?" I said to her.
"Of course." she agreed.
"Well…um…you should know that Edward is coming back to Forks." I said. There was dead silence on the other side of the line. I actually had to check, if she's still there.
"Why?" she whispered then, her voice sounded upset.
"He realized, that he can not live without you, so he is coming back to you." I explained her.
"When?" she just asked.
"Tonight." I exhaled.
"I guess you are not coming tonight, are you?" she just asked.
"No…I am not." I replied. Silence filled the line again.
"Well…have a good night then." she said and she hung the phone down. I threw the hone on the seat next to me and I ran my fingers through my hair. Have a good night? Was she fucking kidding me? I started the car angrily and I quickly drove as far from her house as I possibly could. The whole way the only though that kept repeating on my mind was : Is this the end?
So what do you guys think it's going to happen? :) Review? :)
