Chapter 16

CONSEQUENCES

I place Bella gently in her bed and drop her fingers of mi shirt, with every fiber of myself aching for the imminent separation.

"Edward" She mumbled softly as she turned to her side. I left the room closing the door behind me.

While we're getting down, Charlie was thinking the best way to "talk" to me. So, when we get down, I turn to saw him.

"I don't know what happened and I don't want to know"-he said between clenched teeth in a whisper fill with anger-"but I absolutely forbid you to be close to my daughter. You've done too much damage!"

"God, Charlie! Believe me, I know!" I stare at him, I knew I deserved it, and I would bear all the words and actions from Charlie against me without complain. I had hurt his little girl and I deserve all his bitterness and hatred.

"I will arrest you myself if I see you around here again! Do you understand me?"

Well, that only depend on Bella, if she decided to forgive me then, there wouldn't be nothing or no one to keep me away from her.

"I'm sorry, Charlie"-I replied quietly because, after all, this was entirely my fault. I had to bear the consequences of my actions-"I know I deserve everything you've said and I accept it. But the only one with the power to push me away from here is Bella"

"How dare you idiot!"-Charlie shouted his face purple. He was so angry that his heart beat was too high and I was afraid that something happened to him. So, I decided that this "talking" would take place if Bella accepted me back. Meanwhile, I won't discuss anymore-"Get out of here right now asshole! And I forbid you set foot in this house again!"

I was so immersed in my thoughts that I didn't realized that Emmet and Rosalie wasn't the ones in there. As I climb to the car, I notice that there were Alice and Jasper waiting for me.

"I'm sorry, Edward, but we need to talk before you get back with her, its important"- She tell me quite serious while Jasper was beginning to move away from her home.

"Alice, what's happening?"-I asked worried.

"First of all, tell me, are you going to leave again?"

"Of course not!"-Shuddering at the thought-"Never again! But all depends on Bella"

"I wouldn't worry too much"-She said with a small smile, but before I could say anything, she starts talking-"However. Do you want to know what Bella told me when I arrived? You won't like it but I promised you an explanation"

"What are you talking about? Explanation about what?" then, I remember what she told me when we were following Jane and nodded.

"Ok then. As you know, Victoria has been stalking Bella but that's not everything. Bella found this out less than a month ago, when she ran into Laurent's path…"

"Laurent? Wasn't he at…"-I started, but immediately shut up at the menacing glare of Alice.

"Laurent, yes. Bella was alone wondering in the woods when he found her. When she ask him what he was doing here, he replied that a favor for Victoria"

"That fucking bastard!"-I said; mi hands in tight fists, full of anger.

"But that' not the worst part"-I look up at her intensely-"The worst thing is that…"-she hesitated-"a pack of werewolves saved her to be annihilated"

I didn't answer, I couldn't; I was so angry that I couldn't talk. I would kill him with my own hands.

"He wanted to…"-I swallow before continue, even said that word cause me a deep pain and, I was very angry-"kill her?"

Alice just nodded.

I would dismember him myself and then, I would send him back to the hell he came from. "Wait a minute…"

"A pack of werewolves saved her?"

"Yes, Edward. And…"- she hesitated again and my anxiety grew more and more "And? What?" I thought nervous.

"Alice! Spit it out!"- I told her, maybe a little too loud.

"Well, his best friend is one of those werewolves"-She said in a whisper and my eyes went wide open in shock. Alice must be kidding!

"Who is he?"-I managed to say.

"Jacob Black. I saw him with my own eyes"-I toy the name a little, it sounds quite familiar…

"He was the same boy who tells Bella the truth about us! The grand-grandson of Ephraim Black" Definitely Bella was a danger magnet.

"Since how does this happen?"-It couldn't be long. Six months? A little more maybe.

"A few weeks"-She said in a lower whisper.

"A FEW WEEKS?! WHAT?"- This was worst than I thought. Even mature, THESE werewolves were quite fickle "What's wrong with Bella?"

The car went quiet then.

"Thank you Alice"-I said from my heart, breaking the silence-"For everything. Really, thank you"

"You're welcome, Edward"-she said tenderly, squeezing my hand-"I know that you would do the same for me"

"Always little sis"-I assured her tenderly.

We arrived at the house then and Alice and Jasper went in first, while I was preparing.

When I went there, all remained silent and their eyes nailed to me. I took a big breath and began to speak.

"I'm so sorry"-I said, looking at everyone in the eye-"I regret the harm I have caused you with my decision and I will try to compensate somehow. What happened was because my stupidity and selfishness…"

I lost the thread of my thoughts as the snobs began to gush from my chest. I cried for my pain, for their pain, but especially for the pain that my stubbornness caused to my poor Bella.

Some arms suddenly embrace me, but when I tried to resist, the arms held me stronger and the thoughts of Carlisle broke into my mind.

"Shh, son. It's okay. Everything will be just fine"

I hugged my father and clung tightly to him while he whispered in my ear. Then I had a flash back.

I was little, I wouldn't be more than 8 or 9 years old, and I had done something terrible to one of my father belongings. I was sitting in a corner of my room, waiting for his arrive. When the door opened and my father appeared, his expression was furious, but as soon as he saw me curled up in a corner, scared to death, waiting for my scolding, his expression softened and relaxed.

He walks towards me and took me in his arms, hugging me tightly, while I cried in his shoulder and he assured me that, no matter what, he would always love me.

That's when Carlisle's voice brought me back.

"It's alright, son, every thing's okay. I will always support you, no matter what. You know that I love you"

I embrace him a little tighter and stay like that for a while, until the sobbing ceased. During that time, I realized the amazing family that I had, and thank the heavens for that.

When we parted and turn around no one was there, and I felt a little embarrassed for behaving like a little kid.

"Better son?"

"Yes dad, thank you. For everything; and… I love you too"

"I know, son" he answer me grinning-"Now, it's time for you to go and fix this mess. We'll be here when you come back"

"Thank you. But first, I think I need a shower. Then I leave"-And we hugged one last time.

"Good luck, son!"

I went to my room and bathe thoroughly; after all, I had almost three months without doing it. I got clean clothes and left the house, eager to return to Bella, getting ready for whatever came along.

It was late in the afternoon when I get into Bella's room. I sat in the rocking chair and watch my sleeping angel. Almost an hour later, I had to hide in the closet since Charlie came to check on her. When he saw his child peacefully fast asleep, he sigh with satisfaction and left closing the door gently.

He wouldn't return until the following morning, he wanted Bella to rest as much as I do.

She slept quietly until about ten at night, when she began to spin violently in bed.

"Edward, where are you Edward? Don't leave me…please…no"-Grumbled frantically, with pain and anguish in her soft voice while searching frantically around with her hands.

My heart broke into a thousand pieces and I quickly came to her, kneeling at her side and taking one of her hands in both of mine.

"I'm here, love. Shh, I will never leave you"-I said trying to reassure her-"It's okay sweetheart"

Suddenly, she opened her eyes and stare at me. When I held her gaze, I realize she wasn't really awake.

"Edward?"

"Yes, love. I'm here."

She hugged me and pulled me with her to bed. I lay down beside her and hugged her tightly, while she laid her head on my chest and one of her arms clung tightly to me.

She relaxed and sighed softly, sleeping deeply again.

I stay like that, occasionally stroking gently her silky hair, humming her lullaby; kissing the top of her head or burying my face in her soft hair, drowning in its sweet, strawberry scent.

Once again I cry without tears, grateful to have her again in my arms, begging for her to accept me again. Waiting for her to awake.
