Chapter 10 Dreaming

BPOV

The ride home with Charlie was very quiet. We didn't speak to each other and sometimes that was best. I wouldn't know how to tell him about what happened with Mike and Edward. I myself couldn't put the pieces together. The difference in how Edward was acting today compared to that of yesterday. It was different it is was almost as if he was trying to protect me. I didn't care I owed him for what he did for me. If he hadn't had come in when he did, something worst could have happened. I didn't want to think about that now.

When we got home I went straight to the kitchen and started working on dinner. Charlie hung his gun up and went to the living room to turn the game on. Since coming home I went back into my normal routine of doing the cooking and grocery shopping. I took some chicken, eggs, and the hot sauce of the fridge. I mixed the hot sauce and the eggs together, I dipped the chicken in the mixture, covered it with flour and put it in a pan to fry. While the chicken was frying I made a salad and set the table.

"Dad dinner is ready," I told him pulling the chicken from the pan.

"Smells good in here Bells," he said taking a seat at the table.

"I got the recipe from one of the girls I went to school with in Tennessee," I mentioned to him.

"It's really good," he said after taking a couple of bites. "Did you learn anymore recipes when you were over there."

"Yea," I told him laughing. I didn't want to tell him that I was sick of fixing fish all the time. So while I was in Knoxville, I learned to cook all sorts of new dishes in my free time.

"I heard that you had an exciting day," he was changing the subject. Could it be possible that he had already heard about what happened with Mike?

"I guess I did," I respond.

"I bumped into Mr. Riley on the sidewalk this afternoon," he started with. I took a deep sigh of relief when it wasn't about Mike. "He said that you spoke to him and his wife this morning about Max."

"Of course," I said. "They has some questions about a medication that Dr. Cullen was prescribing."

"That's what he said," he said. "Also that Max is loving the fact that he can have chocolate syrup twice a day."

"He is," I said laughing.

"You did good Bells," he said smiling.

"Thanks dad," I responded. He got up from the table and headed back into the living room to watch the game. After I cleaned the kitchen I went upstairs for the rest of the night.

After showering I went and sat in my rocking chair that the faced the window. As I looked out the window all I could do was think about Edward, and everything that I learned about him. There was a part of me that felt sorry for him because he was a foster child at one time. Then there was a part of me that was grateful for him and I wanted to tell him. The only problem was I didn't know how to talk to him or when I would be able to talk to him. I guess that I could talk to Dr. Cullen tomorrow sometime. I kept rocking in the chair with my knees pulled up to my stomach, listening to my Ipod.

I must have fallen asleep because I was dreaming about Edward. I dreamt that he was in my room, and carried me to my bed from the rocking chair. As he was carrying me to the bed I hugged myself closer to him. I said his named and begged for him to stay as he put me on the bed but he wouldn't instead he walked away. As he walked away the scenery changed to my office and it had turned into a nightmare. I kept seeing Mike and he wouldn't let me leave, he kept cornering me.

"Bells," Charlie said waking me. "You ok."

"Yeah dad," I told him sitting up in my bed. I must have been screaming for him to come in here. "Just a nightmare I guess. Sorry"

"It's ok," he said. "Night, Bells"

"Night dad," I told him as he closed my door.

I was rubbing my eyes trying to think how I got into my bed. The last thing I remembered I was in my rocking chair looking out the window. I guess I was too tired when I went to bed, that I thought I was dreaming of Edward. It felt to real to me for it to be a dream. I wasn't going to think about it, so I went back to sleep for the night.

By the time I made it back to my car, I had lost the urge to kill Mike. I knew that Carlisle would be disappointed in me for not staying. I didn't want to press my luck and hurt her. I could have kicked myself for not staying as well. I needed to know if she was ok. I eventually started my car and headed home to see what would be waiting for me there. As I pulled into the driveway I saw that Alice and Jasper were waiting for me.

"I'm glad that he got there in time" Alice was thinking this when I got out of my car.

"Alice said you got to play hero," Jasper said laughing.

"Yeah," I said laughing as well.

"Who was the villain for your damsel in distress," he said nudging me. I guess that Alice didn't him the whole story. That shocked me because she always told him everything.

"The villain," I said. "Why it was good old Mike Newton."

"That idiot," he responded. "Next time I get to go with you."

"Sure," I told him. "Maybe we can bring Emmett along with us too."

"Agreed," Jasper said pleased . We had started to walk back towards to the house laughing.

"Boys and fighting," Alice said. It was the first time she spoke since I got home. "Jazz, what am I going to do with you."

"Nothing," he smiling as he grabbed her around her waist and kissing her. There were times that I wondered what it would feel like to have a mate. It hit me the hardest when I was around my family and they acted like this. As I made my way into the house Esme grabbed me and hugged me.

"Alice told me," she said as she let me go. "Did you get there in time?"

"Yes," I told her. "Nobody got hurt expect Mike's ego."

"That's ok, he'll get over that," she said with relief.

"Where's Carlisle," I asked.

"He's in his office," she said. "Edward, I'm proud of you for doing the right thing."

"Thanks," I told her as I made my way to his office.

I just hoped that Carlisle would understand. Understand why I did what I did. If he didn't then I would plead my case until he understood. I didn't even think about knocking on the office door.

"Carlisle," I said walking into his office. "I know that I didn't talk to her like I promised but." He held up his hand and stopped me before anything else could be said.

"I'm surprised that Alice didn't tell him already," he thought. So he knew what had happened and I just said all of that.

"Son," he said. "Why would I be mad because you saved her?"

"Alice didn't tell me that she told you," I responded.

"If you didn't get there in time," he started to say.

"Something awful would have occurred to her," I interrupted him.

"That's right," he said. "You still need to talk to her."

"I know," I told him.

"She is a wonderful girl and she really cares about her job and the patients." he was thinking.

"Edward," he said speaking up. "I trust that you will do the right thing."

"Thanks Carlisle," I told him leaving his office.

He was right. Carlisle believes in Bella and her abilities and I trust him. I would find a way to talk to her, but it was going to be hard. I headed back to my room to think. When I entered I turned some Debussy on and sat in the same chair as the night before. As the music played I kept thinking about Bella I needed to know if she was okay. More importantly I wanted to know if she was okay. Looking out the window I noticed that it was twilight again. The end of another day, and the dawning of a new night. That's when I decided that I would go back to her house. Tonight would be the night and I would check on her myself.

"Edward," I heard Alice say as she popped into my room.

"Yes," I responded.

"Bella's room is the first window on the second floor," she said smiling.

"What," I said.

"You're going to her house," she answered. "I saw you standing outside of her house."

"So," I told her.

"Since meeting Bella," she started to say. "Your future has become cloudy. Last night you chose for her to live and it was clear. Now it's cloudy again."

"Thanks," I told her. I got up from the chair and headed to the closet. Alice must have taken that as a hint because she left. I still didn't know what she meant about my future becoming cloudy. If I was going to Bella's then I needed to go ahead and get dressed for work. I couldn't believe what I was doing. I was really going to break into her house to see her.

By the time I made it to her house it was ten o'clock. I parked in the same place as I did the night before. I left my tie and lab coat in the car so that I wouldn't be to noticeable in the dark. When I made it to the front of her house all of that lights were off and there was no sound either, so they were already in bed. I remembered Alice telling me that it was the first window on the second floor. I scaled the house and peaked in through the window . Sure enough Alice was right. I saw her curled up in the rocking chair that looked out the window. She seemed okay as she slept. Before I opened the window very quietly I took a deep breath and held it.

I carefully climbed in trying not to make a sound. I leaned up against the wall and noticed that her room was rather simple with books stacked in all corners. She was motionless but still looked peaceful. That had to be uncomfortable sleeping in a rocking chair. I took her ipod and placed it on her desk. Still she didn't move and I decided I would put her in bed. I carefully picked her up cradling her against me. She hugged her self closer to me more then I expected. Her scent was so close to me, and like a drug I wanted more of it. What she did next shocked me more than anything. She started saying my name over and over.

"Edward," she mumbled as I laid her down. "Pleas don't go. I need to talk to you."

I didn't know how to react to all of this. Here was this girl begging for me to talk to her and not leave. I was torn at this point. One half wanted to kill her and the other half wanted her to live and something more. I just didn't know what that something more was yet. I covered her up with her blanket and walked back towards the window. I stood there and watched her for another minute before I headed back out the window. As I got back into my car I sat there trying to figure out why she said my name. Of everyone that worked in that hospital, in the pharmacy it was my name she said. I would have to figure that out, but it would have to wait until I got finished with work. I started the car and headed to hospital for my shift. There was just one problem I was more confused then ever.
