Memory Of Love
Chapter Nine: I Saved Her?
Edward POV
It was half past 12 on a Thursday and I was fucking bored. I had sadly noticed that Sammyhad failed to arrive with her sister, Lana. I needed to speak to her. It was nearly time for the bell to go off when I heard Rosalie speaking to me.
"Honestly, Edward - why would you even think of going near her ever again?! I mean, you did the task and no she's changed. Your over her and she don't give a shit about you anymore, why are you making all this so hard when I. Know. Your. Not. Even...." I snapped my head to her. The bell went and I half ran out of the classroom, still fuming over Roaslie's words. She followed me - stupid bitch.
I walked into the empty cafateria and walked over to our table without bothering to glare at her. She continued talking as though I hadn't acted like a child. "Honestly, Edward - get a fucking grip!" she screamed at me and I sighed. "That girl we bullied years ago is bad news. We turned her that way and we should be poud. Don't act like some pussy all the time!!" I flinched - I didn't like her speaking of Bella like that.
Roaslie turned round and hissed, a hiss full of venom. I looked up and spotted my Sammy sitting at her normal table, reading a magazine, not bothering to even look at me. I sighed again. I wanted to walk over there and give her a hug, wink, kiss - ANYTHING that would make her know I cared.
Just then the rest of the school came pouring into the room, Angela and her sister Lana running over as soon as they spotted her.I sighed, how I wished...
Lana and Angela kept talking to her and about 10 minutes later Sammy got up and hip-waggled across the room to the food belt. I was making up my mind, wether or not to go up to her but then I spotted Mike Newton walking over to her. She greeted him warmly and asked how he was. He didn't answer - too busy looking down her top.
Fury roared to life inside my chest, so strong I was I shocked. Sammy backed away and he walked round, speaking dirty - knowing him. When Bella half-ran out of the room, I got up and followed.
There was window in the door, so I looked through just in time for Mike to grab her head and force his lips to hers. She broke off quickly and pushed him away-or tired to at least. He wasn't having any of it. He clung on and started to reach his fingers down her leg...
Just then I couldn't control myself. I banged the door open, making Newton jump. "Hey!" he yelled but I balled up my fist and punched him staight in the nose. Blood splattered out of my knuckles and Newton's nose. He aimed a kick at my privates but caught my knee. I gasped in pain and pushed back. Mike swayded and then with a THUMP fell backwards onto the floor.
I heard a whimper and remembered Sammy. She was cowaring in the corner, hands over her eyes and shaking. All my fears gone, I put my arm round her shoulder - trying to hold back the pain in my knee. She opened her eyes and looked horrorstrukk at my knee, Mike and then to my eyes. I then realised I was winching in my efforts.
She looked and then broke down completly in my arms. I hugged her close and put my head ontop of hers, breathing in her sweet strawberry scent. I picked her up carefully and made an attempt to get to the nurses office. She then opened her eyes again and noticed my knuckles.
"Edward.." she whispered and my heart swelled when she said my name. I controlled myself. "Sammy, are you ok?" I whispered abck, quite franticly. She thought and said "Urm no. Just a bit frightened about it. I thought Mike was a good guy." I cringed - Mike Newton - nice? Surely she's more intelligent than that?
I lowered her down, winching as I did. She took my by surpise by holding my arm guided me to the benches in the hallway. She seemed to be...concentrating? "Roll your left leg trouser up." she demanded. I did so.
Her eyes widened at the brusie and bleeding that was going on my knee. I closed my eyes, I didn't want to inspect it yet. I felt her pushing slowly on my knee until I heard a click and winched deeply. "You've broken your kneecap." she said, tears in her eyes. Why? "Stay here" she ordered and I nodded. She removed her high heels and continued whispering "I'll be right back." . I nodded again and closed my eyes.
When I opened my eyes, she had disapeared. Where had she gone? I closed my eyes again and a few minutes passed until I heard her again. "Edward?" My eyes opened and I found her. She had a packet of frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel. "I'm just going to put this on your knee ok?" she said, kneeling down.
I felt the cold on my brusie, hissing and sat up. It was cold, plus - it really hurt. It was quiet again, while Sammy kept the peas there. My thoughts thought of Newton - would he be still laying there? or would someone of found him by now? I went back to Sammy. I realsied that I was so thankful it was her and not the gross nirse that was in medical. "Thank you Sammy." I breathed. She shock her head.
"I'm not Sammy Whites, Edward." she said and something clicked into place. Something I had missed, the name came to mind of who really though she was. The name Sammy Whites wasn't her as I had loved the girl who was her. I'd proberly known all along but...I'd left that name aside. My heart swelled bigger - if possible and smiled at her.
"Your Isabella Swan, aren't you?" I smiled. I knew I was right. She smiled a dazzling smile back and said "The very same." How wrong she was, I thought. She ahd grown into an amazing woman and a beatiful one at that. Then I remembered something. " Then why?" I asked.
"Long story" She muttered and kept the peas on my brusied knee. "I'm going to get the nurse - your'll need to go to hospital." and I groaned. Carlise was at work. "It could be worse you know.." she said, I looked up, confused.
"You could get arrested and your gay father embarrassing the shit out of you." she chuckled and I mentally kicked myself. "Bella.." I started, enjoying calling her by her real name. She cut me off. "You can explain to me and Alice later. Right now we are making sure you get to hospital saftley. Ok?" I nodded, smiling my best smile and she grinned in return.
"I'm so so so sorry Bella." I whispered, bearing the truth of the words. She stayed smiling. She leaned down, making my heart splutter, and kissed me on my left cheek. "Forgive and forget is what I say." She whispered seductivly and winked. Taken aback, I smiled a crookerd smile back at her. She beamed and went to get the nurse for me.
-------
I had a grin on my face until she came back, acomping me to the hosptital and holding my hand the whole time. Carlise treated me and put the cast of my knee giving me the what-the-hell-have-you-done-now-son look. I rolled my eyes and I saw Bella waiting fo me. I limped on my crutches over to her. She grinned and helped me down the hallway, out the exit and down the steps.
I gave her my keys, to give to Alice who drove my car back to my house. Rose would have to catch a ride or walk home. She drove me back in her awesome Aston. I was drooling all over it and Bella raised her eyebrows. "Is the car better than me?" she asked sacarsticly. I smiled. "Always you." I replied. She smiled back and when we got to my house, I dragged her inside with me.
Esme flipped when she saw me, me in crutches and me in crutches with a girl, supporting me in through the front door. Bella turned and gasped at the same time Esme reconized her. Bella ran to Esme and she gave her a hug. Esme was near to tears until I said "Hey!, cripple over here!"
Bella rollled her eyes. "Help me get him up the stairs." Esme nodded and they both supported me up the stairs. I felt like such a wally. Esme opened the door to my room and they lowered me to my bed. I pulled Bella down with me and Esme went back downstairs, but she saved her lectures when I didn't have girls round - well friends.
Then Bella turned to me. I slipped my arm round her waist and she leaned into me. Then she whispered "What now?" I had no idea.
Yes, before you ask, Bella still and used to have feelings for her best mate since they were younger.
