Bella's POV
I woke up the next morning with my back sore and Marie said her right arm is sore. As we laid there in the bed staring at the ceiling I smelt Esme's cooking but I was too sore to move. I haven't used a lot of my body since I came here from Charlie's house, Edward said it was best if I didn't do a lot of moving around so that my wounds can heal. The fight I had with Marie yesterday has my wounds showing. I think one of my wounds have opened up. I choke out Edwards name as I laid across the bed. Marie is still asleep. Edward ran to my side, asking me what is wrong.
"My wounds, I think they have opened up." I said to him. He lifts my shirt up and calls Carlisle in the room. Marie woke up looking over at me trying to figure out what is going on. Carlisle walks into the room with hospital equipment. Marie stared at me for a long moment while Carlisle put stitches on my hips.
"I'm sorry." Marie whispers softly. Edward hisses under his breath while Marie glares at him. I reach to grab her hand but I couldn't find the strength to do so. She grabs hold of my hand and apologizes again.
"It isn't entirely your fault." I choke out. "They were wounds I had from Charlie, they just started to open back up." I mumble.
"If we were not fighting yesterday, you would still be in a better condition." She sadly says.
"May you turn on your stomach for me?" Carlisle asks. Edward helps me move onto my stomach and Carlisle continues placing bandages on my body.
"I started the fight, so don't apologize." I say giving her a small smile.
"Again, I am sorry." She says softly. I notice that she isn't apologizing about what happened yesterday.
"We still have a lot to talk about."
"I know." She says. I hiss as Carlisle places peroxide on a few scars.
"My apologies. " He says.
"You have no idea how happy I feel that you have a loving family who will care and protect you." Marie says softly as a smile appears across her face. I return the smile.
"That isn't saying much considering you left her helpless." Edward tells her, I look to him in complete shock. He has never been so disrespectful to any women, and he just called me helpless. Carlisle sends Edward a warning look. Marie ignores his outburst and acts as if she didn't hear a word he said. Just as I was about to say something to him Esme walks into the room with towels and places them on the nightstand.
"Marie, you are welcome to take a shower." Esme says genuinely.
"T-thank you, Esme." Marie stutters.
"You are welcome, dear." Esme replies. She gives a warning look to Edward than walks back downstairs.
"I am finish, Bella but you should rest for a few days so the wounds can close up." Carlisle says.
"But Carlisle, my party is today." I reply.
"We can reschedule it for next week but for now you need to rest. Here are a few pills. I want you to take these 2 times a day." He says holding medicine in his hand that was written in Japanese. "Here is another set of pills that will actually help with your pain. You can take these anytime you feel pain." He say holding up pills in a blue container. "Do you have any questions?"
"No, I think I am good."
"Okay, call me or Esme if you need anything" He says then walks out the door leaving Edward, Marie and me.
"Aren't you going to shower?" Edward asks Marie with a hint of attitude and annoyance in his voice. Marie sits there like she didn't hear what he said.
"Edward, stop it. She has done nothing wrong to you but however you are being rude to her for no apparent reason. It isn't like you to act this way." I say to him. I am so tired of his attitude toward her. The way he acts to Marie is unacceptable and I will not tolerate it.
"I have to go." Edward says without meeting my eyes and he walks right out the door. Marie grabs a towel off the nightstand and walks into the bathroom. When she is finish showering she sits on the edge of the bed and slides her shoes on. She then turns around to look at me once she has her shoes on.
"I should go." She says sadly.
"Where are you going?" I ask kindly.
"I don't know but I can't stay here any longer." She says softly.
"I'm sure Esme and Carlisle wouldn't mind you staying here."
"Sorry, but I must go."
"That's so like you! You never think about anybody but yourself!" I raise my voice.
"Oh really? Other than yourself, who else have you thought about? Ever since I arrived you have been trying to get me to stay, not once have you cared or even asked me what I want to do. I bet your family downstairs doesn't even know who I am. I'm sure you haven't thought about me at all since I left." She says with full on attitude but her voice stayed at a normal volume.
"Whatever, just go, that's all you're good at. Every time there is a problem, you never stay to try and work though things."
"Bella you can't be serious. Look at you living with someone other than Charlie. Seems to me like you are running from a problem as well."
"So you are telling me you didn't leave to get away from a problem. I bet Charlie's the reason you left in the first place."
"He's the reason I left, yes, BUT at least I can be honest. How is it that you can run from your problems but I can't?"
"I didn't leave. It was more like kidnapped. Edward came and brought me here." I yell.
"He was protecting you and shut up because I know there is nowhere else you would rather be than with the Cullen's. I'm quite positive that you don't want to go back with Charlie." She never yelled but the aggravation on her face was clear.
"You come in here judging me like you understand what I have been through, well you don't. "
"You can't be serious. Have you forgotten that I have lived with him my entire life? Of course you have, you've forgotten about me all together." She sighs than gets off of the bed and walks toward the door. "I should go." She says softly.
"Marie, please stay." I beg almost in tears.
"I can not stay somewhere that I am not welcome, Bella. Carlisle and Esme do not know anything about me. It wouldn't be right for me to intrude in their lives."She continues to speak softly. She gives me a small smile. "I love you." And with that being said, she left.
