Chapter 6
BPOV
"Of course I'm human. What else would I be?" Edward asked me with a weird look on his face.
"Nnnn…no" I stuttered looking at Carlisle for answers.
"Bella, he doesn't remember anything" Carlisle said.
"You…you…you don't remember me?" I asked, tears welling up in my eyes and my lips trembling.
"I do remember you" Edward said standing up and taking a step towards me. "I remember you Bella."
"But you don't remember them?" I asked again, the tears starting to spill over my cheeks.
"No," Edward said, his face falling. "I only remember you and what Charlie told me."
"CHARLIE?!?" I asked loudly and everyone stopped and stared at Edward.
"Yes, he…he found me, took me to the hospital, then sent me to you" Edward explained.
"WHAT?!" I screamed. "AND HE DIDN'T CALL AND TELL ME?!?" I was furious.
"Bella, calm down" Jasper said coming to stand beside me and placing a hand on my shoulder. I felt calming waves run through me instantly.
"Get your hands off of her" Edward said low.
"Look man, I am your brother and I am just trying to help her deal with this. Don't you understand? We thought you were DEAD! We saw you die!" Jasper growled at Edward and I placed my hand on his.
"Jasper, everyone…may I have a moment alone with Edward?" I asked looking from Edward to everyone else in turn. They all nodded and walked from the kitchen. I could hear them talking in the living room about Edward.
"Edward? Do you really remember me?" I asked softly, my eyes searching his. They weren't the beautiful topaz I remembered. They were a bright vivid green and I could see him struggling to remember.
"Yes Bella. All I remember is you. When I woke up all I could think of was you, your name, your face. Charlie told me that you had moved and I made him send me to you. I asked him to not say anything. I had to see you, see if you had waited for me, see if you had moved on. If you had, I was going to walk away forever. It pains me that I can't really remember you, that it's only in flashes. I want to be able to remember everything but I just can't. I had to see you, just see you again to see if I remembered. I felt this pull towards you from the moment I woke up. I had to know you were ok, alive, whole. Even if you had moved on…" Edward said softly and I stepped closer toward him, hearing the hurt in his voice, the pain at trying to remember and not being able to.
"I could never have moved on. Edward, you were my life, my fiancé, my everything. After I lost you I couldn't imagine myself with anyone else and Carlisle and Esme, your family, all of them, took me in and comforted me, helped me regain something from my former life. But it was still not the same without you" I said, never taking my eyes off of him.
Edward took another step towards me and I mirrored it. I wanted so badly to reach out and touch him, to kiss him and have him hold me, I just couldn't bring myself to do it, he couldn't be real, this had to be just a dream.
"Bella?" Edward said softly.
"Yes?" I answered.
"May I touch you?"
I just nodded, the tears still slowly trailing down my face as he took the final steps towards me, closing the distance between us. He slowly lifted his hand, never taking his eyes off of mine, his fingers reached out slowly and he gently touched my face with his fingertips. I closed my eyes at his touch, remembering the last time he had touched me in the clearing. More tears spilled over my cheeks.
"Bella? Don't cry. I am here" Edward said softly, slowly moving his fingers over my face, searching it for familiarity.
"You're so warm" I murmured.
"Of course Bella, what else would I be?" Edward asked.
My eyes opened at this and I had to remember that he didn't know anything anymore. His other hand came up to my face, gently cupping my chin and he slowly leaned in towards me. I wanted so badly to kiss him, to help him remember.
Suddenly there was the sound of a clearing voice and I stepped backwards quickly, spinning around to see Carlisle standing in the doorway.
"Bella, may we have a word with you alone?" Carlisle asked. "And Edward, would you mind staying in here for a moment?"
Edward and I nodded and I silently followed Carlisle while looking behind me at Edward. I didn't want to walk away from him for fear that he wouldn't be there when I came back. I followed Carlisle into the living room where everyone was standing, quietly discussing the situation.
"What?" I asked looking at all of them.
"Bella" Carlisle began. "Edward doesn't remember anything about us. And, he isn't one of us anymore. I don't know how he came to be human again but I have to find out. This is a first for our kind. Nothing like this has ever happened before. Now, I don't think we should tell Edward about us. I shudder at the thought of how he would take the news. I don't even know if he will ever remember. We have to be careful about this Bella. Amnesia is a serious condition and flashbacks and memories can come at any time. Sometimes they cause the person to lash out in fear or anger. Please be careful Bella, you are the only one that could be physically hurt by him now or he could be hurt too."
I nodded as Carlisle explained everything.
"But Carlisle" Alice began. "Why can't we just make him remember?"
"Alice, I already told you that. Just as I explained to Bella, it could hurt him or cause him to hurt Bella. We can't have that now can we? And Alice, why didn't you see this happening?" Carlisle asked.
"I don't know Carlisle. I can only think that I didn't because we all believed him to be dead. Why would I look for visions of someone that was dead? And now that he is back, I still haven't seen anything. Why would that happen Carlisle?" Alice asked.
"The only thing I can think of is that the amnesia is blocking his thoughts and decisions from you" Carlisle said. "Bella, would you like to return to him?"
I nodded and quickly returned to the kitchen. Edward was still sitting there and I couldn't help but smile when I saw him. It still couldn't be real, could it?
He looked up when I stubbed my toe on the table and smiled at the grimace on my face.
"Hey you" he said to me smiling at me.
"Hey to you too" I said back with a smile. "So, you only remember me?"
"Well, you and the few flashbacks that I have had" Edward said.
"What…what did you see?"
"Ummm…"
"Edward, don't be shy with me. You used to tell me everything."
"I…I…I am a little embarrassed that I don't really remember anything."
"Edward, just tell me. Please?" I asked as I moved to sit in the chair facing him over the kitchen bar.
Edward looked down then shook his head. I watched as he appeared to struggle with the words. Then he opened his mouth to speak.
"Bella, when I woke up all I could think of was your face and your name. I didn't know anything. There was a man sitting in the room with me and he said he was your father. He showed me your picture and I was flooded with memories of you laughing and crying and…kissing me. Then I saw a picture of you and Alice? You two were laughing and enjoying yourselves. I remembered Charlie and a gun when you introduced me to him. And…and…"
"And what Edward? What else?" I said, looking into his eyes and pleading with him to tell me what else.
"I ummm…I…I…uh…I…"
"Edward, just tell me. You can tell me anything."
"I…I saw me get down on one knee and ask you to marry me. I saw you say yes and tell me you loved me" Edward said dropping his head into his hands. I reached out one hand toward his and placed my hand on top of his, squeezing lightly. He lifted his head up and tears were spilling over his cheeks, his gorgeous green eyes were bloodshot and surrounded by puffy red skin. "Did I really do that? Did you really say yes? Is it true?"
"Yes…" I said softly. "Yes Edward, it's true. And I never took your ring off either, not after all this time" I said as I raised up my left hand and showed Edward the ring, his mother's ring. He looked at it and then at me, his lips trembling at the sight.
"Do you still mean it?" Edward asked, his eyes searching mine for the answer I knew was there and would always be there.
"Yes Edward" I said leaning toward him over the bar. He matched my movements and leaned in toward me. "Yes Edward, I still love you and still want to be yours forever."
He smiled at my confession and said "I love you too" as we leaned in closer to each other, our lips almost touching.
"I was thinking. I want to try something…kiss me" I said softly and his lips met mine in a soft, delicate kiss. My hand instinctively went to his hair as I pulled him in closer to me, deepening the kiss, pressing my lips to his with passion.
Suddenly Edward froze and pulled back quickly, falling from the chair and landing on the floor. He started writhing around as if in pain and then started screaming.
"CARLISLE!" I screamed, rushing to Edward's side, crying fiercely. "CARLISLE, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH EDWARD!" I screamed again as everyone rushed into the room, Carlisle kneeling down beside Edward.
"BELLA, NO!!! IT BURNS!!! MAKE IT STOP!!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!!" Edward screamed while writhing around the kitchen floor, his eyes wide with terror, his breath shallow and quick. "BELLA!!!" he screamed again and I screamed out for him. Then he was suddenly quiet and still, his eyes closed.
"Carlisle? Carlisle is he ok?" I asked through the tears.
"I don't know Bella" he said softly while checking on Edward. "I just don't know…"
