Poisoned Rose.
Chapter eight- The undiscovered truth.
*Edwards POV*
~Flashback~
My hand gripped the almost full petrel container. My fingers wrapped around the handle. My palms became damp. A world wind of emotions rushed though me. Adrenaline pumping though my veins. I had to do this; I told myself this that many times that the lie became believable. I crept slowly, tying not to make a noise. Darkness appeared everywhere, I was well hidden. I slowly pushed open the garden gate after looking around to check no one was about. One wrong move could completely destroy what is left of my life- which wasn't much.
I inhaled a small breath of oxygen and silently slipped though the back gate. Creating no trail of my identify. I unscrewed the lid of the container and slowly scattered the liquid inside, blocking the front and back exits. I set out to kill, I had no choice. I was selfish, I was doing this for myself.
The cold air rushed to my clammy face. A thick layer of fog wrapped around me like a blanket. As I held the lighter too my face thoughts rushed though my mind. This was going to be completely life changing. There was no going back.
As my finger pressed against the lighter, I realised I had done it. I caught sight of the orange and yellow demands. The bight burst of light flickering in the corner of my eyes. I stood motionlessly for a few moments and then shook myself out of my trance and ran. Ran as fast as I could. I didn't turn back. I ran straight to my house.
Bella was in the same position. Her eyelids shut tight. How could I do it to her? I was sure too take away two innocent peoples lives way. Is that what been a murder feels like? I felt nothing, I was completely, unbelievable numb to what I had done. I should of felt something anything, but I didn't.
~End of flash back~
I thought moving to Forks would get me away from my terrible past, from Jane and James. I was wrong. They had found me. The very people who put me in to this state. They wanted me to hurt Bella. They wanted me to kill her! I wouldn't do it. I different know. I wont fall in to the trap of emotional blackmail anymore. I'd changed and I'd prove myself. Although if they said anything my laugh would be even more worth living. One word and they could completely ruin mine and Bella's relationship. I could live with myself, if she knew what I had done.
*Bella's POV*
I hated nagging at Edward, but I felt I had to. He wouldn't take his medication. It was like he didn't even want to get better. He has been though a lot and I just want to get back to normal. Although 'normal' is a long way away. We barley speak. Its like he hates me.
~Flashback~
I awoke to the sound of sirens echoing around a familiar room. I was at Edwards house, although I'd forgot when I first woke up. My vision was blurry and the light stung my eyes. Edward was standing over me. His eyes filled with an emotion and sorrow. My eyes flickered.
''Edward…'' I started. My voice was gruff and deep and showed sign of confusion. What on earth was going on? He interrupted me, I let him. I didn't need to continue, he had a lot more to say than me.
''Bella, I didn't want to wake you but I'm afraid I have some bad news.'' he spoke softly, moving a few strands of hair out of my face.
''Edward.'' I repeated automatically sitting up, my face twisted with fear.
''Its your mom and dad, there at the hospital. Bella you need to come quickly. There in a critical condition.'' The information was to much for me to handle. You always see this type of dramatic life changing things happening in books and movies, but not in real life. I couldn't move. I was stunned by my thoughts.
''Bella.'' He said, bringing me back to the devastating reality. One place I didn't want to be. I quickly though my hair back into a messy bun and changed into a black t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms in a mad panic. It didn't take me long.
But by the time I was at the hospital, I had already been robbed of a goodbye of both my mother and father. There lives had been snatched away. In a few seconds. Loud sobs escaped my body with out me realising.
~End of flashback~
I hated thinking about my past, although my present wasn't much better either. I thought when Edward came back everything would just fall in to place. I was wrong. Of course I'm glad I have a second chance with him although half the time its like he isn't there. I want to know what's troubling him. Its obviously something for him to be like this. He suffered a breakdown but won't accept he is ill, that to me shows something is up. I want to talk to him but its almost impossible with him. Its like he is wearing some sort of shield that won't let him express emotion.
*Edwards POV*
I hated ignoring Bella, but I had to do it for her sake. If I felt I was putting her in danger I would have to leave. I would have to hurt her again…
I was awake when Bella walked down stairs for work, I always was. She smiled and told me to 'be careful.' I didn't like how she treated me like a baby, although I didn't say anything. When I was on my own it gave me time to sort my head out. To gather my thoughts and plan on what to do next.
~Flashback~
Bella stayed with her uncle, Billy and aunty, Jasmine (her fathers brother and his wife.) after the death of her mother and father. I told her to go and spend time with her family although she didn't like the idea she did. I on the other hand was planning my next move.
I persuaded my parents to let us move away for a while and stay with some relatives. It wasn't an weird thing to do, we often stayed there. Of course they didn't understand why I wanted to do it know, because of everything that went on with Bella. I'd got that used to telling lies, they believed me, I believed myself most of the time.
I didn't say goodbye too Bella, we left a few days later.
~End of flashback~
''Goodbye Edward.'' I heard Bella say as she grabbed her coat and headed to woke. I smiled in a average manor. I couldn't speak. They would be back for me today. I'd have to make my mind up if I run and leave everything behind or face them and risk the chance of loosing Bella all together. I was playing with time.
I didn't pace up and down the room- like I normally did. Instead I sat still, stared at the clock, waited for the familiar sound of the door knocking. They were later than usual but nevertheless they still came. They didn't look impressed in the slightest. If you could of tasted fear, I could.
A/N: Ok. Thanks for reading. If you like it fav/alert or recommend it :P and please hit the review button and give me some feedback.
This is an extra update because I'm of school tomorrow because of the teacher striking- I'm not complaining. I'd just like to share the first paragraph of my English exam story… If you don't want to read it, skip it and review :D
The faint sound of the rain, which bounced against the pavement, echoed round the darkened alley. A thick layer of fog wrapped around my body like a blanket. I stared at the pale figure in front of me. I became overwhelmed with a rollercoaster of emotions. I stared intensely, yet blankly at her face. My grip became tighter against the sharp, familiar object I held in my hands. The jagged hands pressed against my skin. The red liquid trickled down my arm: Slowly, gently, leaving a light trail down my arm. I'd waited for this moment for a very long time…
PREVIEW!
Why Edward killed Bella's parents will be in next chapter :D
