All i can say my dear readers is it has been one hell of a year! This is the first time I've touched Love Me since... wow a while so please excuse my errors as i try to fall back into the story. I deeply apologize for the long long wait but now I'm ready to write again! :D
Deep down inside myself, do I wonder? Why… why do I hide? Am I scared, too embarrassed to admit, that my entire being is wrapped up Inside your existence. Does it hurt? To be so enamored in this pointless fight I know I can never win. Does it feel? As though life its self crashes like glass against tile when you smile. Oh yes. The saddest part is that I could never say I regret loving you.
Cassidy POV-
"So, are we all on the same page here?" The Alice girl sung unable to stand still for more than two milliseconds. My party was silent; apparently I was the elected speaker.
"I believe so, our main objective is to protect Bella the rest will be decided in time." The Cullens sat stone still across the cabin living room's couch as Ian splayed out on a bean bag chair on the opposite side. His posture screamed defiance. Poor Bella leaned against the wooden wall eyes downcast avoiding Ian's concerned stares mixed with Edward's hurt looks. Pssh, idiots.
"It's decided Bella will be kept out of fighting range protected by yourself and Edward, correct?" Carlisle voice inquired. Ian's low grumble was tuned out by Bella's outcry.
"What? But I want to fight!" The familiar spark of her shield crackling caught everyone's attention. Memories emitting from Jasper, past experiences with new borns nudged themselves into my mind's eye.
"Bella we're only looking out for your best interests…" He soothed sending waves of calm throughout the room. Bella grumbled plopping down Indian style on the floor. Edward's mouth twitched into a knowing smile at Bella's resistance until he caught himself and wiped his face blank of expression.
"SO WHO HERE KNOWS HOW TO KICK ASS?" Emmett's voice boomed blasting through the guarded atmosphere. Ian smirked slowly rising to his feet settling into a low crouch.
"Thought you'd never ask." His eyes gleamed with the excitement of a challenge his tone begging for a fight.
"Emmett take it outside! We are thankful guests at this beautiful home we wouldn't want to destroy it with you over sized butt!" Esme scolded causing Jasper to crack a smile and Alice to giggle. This time memories shed off Bella seeping into my mind. All of the Cullens and her before everything changed… before they abandoned her. I muffled a growl as I gently lifted Bella's chin gazing into her eyes. They reflected the hurt; you didn't need to be undead to see that. I gripped her hand sharing a small smile. I will protect you little sister, I promise.
Carlisle stood center of the Field as both fighters took stance, both ready to charge any second. Bella stood at my side nibbling at her lower lip eyes shining with worry. Ian cocky as ever waved blowing a kiss than flipped Edward off returning to the fight. Edward glowered as Esme tsked with disapproval. As for myself i couldn't help but get caught up with the excitement in the air. Finally,
"FIGHT!" Carlisle commanded Jumping just as the the two ran fist extended about to make contact...
Please review they mean the world :)
