Night swimming last night was fun, but my whole body hurts this morning until now. Maybe I really lack exercise :))

I only reply to reviews that really needs a reply, for example you are confused with the story or you cannot understand some terms. I won't reply if you're going to ask what's going to happen next, because that would spoil the story.

Thanks for the reviews on the prev chap :)

Here's chap 16, hope you enjoy :)

Where Are You Now

Chapter 16 – Sacrifices

(EPOV)

Isabella Swan…I can't get her off my mind. She has something in her that's so addictive, but in a good way.

The way she smiles makes my heart melt especially when she smiles for me. Her chocolate brown eyes are so mesmerizing and I swear I can see they shine whenever she is with Emerald. And everything about her seems so perfect. Even her flaws make her perfect. They way she do everything so clumsily, it's kinda cute and scary. She's so caring, compassionate, and she has a pure heart. She is smart and beautiful. She's down to earth and simple.

We have a daughter. A baby made without love, but still she is so precious to the both of us. Emerald is the most important to me now. She makes me really happy. She acts just like Bella, except from her love for shopping. When Alice mentions shopping to Bella, I can see that Bella just forces her smile. And I heard her talk in her sleep, she said that she hates shopping so much. That was so funny, she says all she can't say when she's awake when she's asleep. Well, watching her sleep was euphoric. She looks so peaceful and even more beautiful.

What happened to us last night was so close. The way her lips moved with mine it's like silk...and he lips were unbelievably soft. I can say that there is really a great physical attraction between us, but we can't let ourselves drown and lead us to something more. I don't want to repeat what happened four years ago. We are not doing that if we don't have strong feelings for each other. That is a sin and we will face hard consequences.

But I think I am falling in—

"Edward! Edward, please help me!" Bella shouted from downstairs. Her voice was full of fear.

I immediately went out of my study and I ran downstairs.

Maybe somebody broke in. Emerald is in the music room, she is safe there.

I saw Bella, and a man.

"Bella!" I shouted worriedly.

The man hit her head with a bottle, and Bella blacked out.

Adrenaline filled my veins, and I rushed to them. I took Bella out of his arms, but he wouldn't even budge.

I punched his face as strong as I can, his grip loosen on Bella and fell on the floor.

He launched to me, but I managed to duck so he wasn't able to hit me. He didn't give up, he tried and tried to hit me, and I avoided him. I found the perfect timing to punch him on the stomach, and he hissed in pain. He punched the side of my face, but I didn't let the pain overcome me.

"Who are you and why are you in my house?" I asked angrily as I wipe the blood on the side of my mouth.

"I am Bella's fiancé and I'm here to get her back," he answered furiously.

"She broke up with you already, why won't you just let her go? She doesn't want you anymore, so don't force yourself on her!"

He punched me in a blinding speed. He hit my eye, and I can't see properly anymore.

But I didn't let that become a problem. I punched him and hit him with all that I have. He is strong too, maybe he was always involved in fights when he was high school. Because he looks like that type of guy, war freak. He managed to hit me many times, but I stood up. I stood up for Bella, I can't let this guy take her. He might do something bad to her, and I won't be able to forgive myself if that thing happens.

After just a few moments, he was laying bloodily on the floor. Oh great he messed up my shiny floor with his filthy blood.

I saw the phone across the room.

I could barely stand, and my head in pounding. My whole body is full of pain.

I got my phone from my pocket and I immediately called the police. I told them my address and asked them to come here immediately because somebody trespassed in my house.

My whole body fell on the floor, and the pain is becoming more and more unbearable. I noticed that my side is bleeding. I looked at his figure on the floor, and he has a small knife on hand. Oh great, he punctured my side with a pocket knife, and looks like the wound is deep because it doesn't stop bleeding.

My right arm is also bleeding. Oh my god, why didn't I feel it?

I was too numb earlier to feel and also because of too much adrenaline pumping to me.

If I don't get medical help, I might bleed to death.

"I win anyway," I whispered happily to myself. Even if something happens to me now, it will be all right. Bella and Emerald are safe.

And then everything went black.

(BPOV)

"Edward needs blood, but we can't find somebody that would match his blood type," A man said.

"How about Esme? Have you tested her?" Mom asked.

Mom is here? Where the hell am I?

I urged to open my eyes. I saw white everywhere, and I smelled the smell that I hated the most. The smell of the hospital. The smell makes my head hurt and sometimes it brings me nausea.

"Bella, you're awake!" Mom said happily, and she hugged me.

I noticed there's a doctor behind her. Maybe that's the man that he is talking to. He has pale blonde hair, blue eyes, and he is quite tall. His face looks gentle and compassionate, almost like Edward's.

"Mom, where's Edward? What happened to him? To Emerald? What happened to Gabriel?" I asked instantly.

"Slow down, dear. Emerald is fine, she is with Alice and they went to the cafeteria to get food. Gabriel is in another hospital, and your dad is currently doing everything that he can to put him to jail," she answered, but not all my questions.

"Where's Edward?" I asked again.

"Hello Bella, I'm Carlisle Cullen, I'm Edward's father," the doctor said.

Why wouldn't they answer my question? What happened to Edward? I won't be able to forgive myself if something bad happens to him. I brought him trouble.

"Why won't you just answer my question? Where is Edward? Did something bad happen to him?" I asked, controlling my temper in the best that I can.

They looked first at each other, and then they nodded.

"He is fine…for now. He has bled heavily, and he needs blood immediately. We can't find a blood donor for him. His blood type is AB negative, and that's a rare blood type." Carlisle's face was firm, but you could see worry and sadness in his eyes.

"Edward could die if he isn't transfused with blood soon," I muttered to myself.

"Yes," Carlisle said softly.

"Can you test me? Maybe I could be his donor?" I asked.

"Are you sure?" Mom asked me and I nodded.

"Yes. Just do some blood test to me, who knows we could be compatible," I said with faith.

Carlisle nodded.

…

They have done blood testing to me and luckily, Edward and I have the same blood type. Well, I didn't know that I have a rare blood type.

His mother, Esme was so happy about it, and she keeps on thanking me because I might be the one to save her son's life.

I also learned that she is just Edward's stepmother. When Edward's mother gave birth to him, she died. Edward was a year old when his father married Esme, and Esme said that she instantly fell in love with baby Edward. After two years, they had Emmett, and she said her family couldn't be happier. She is so beautiful, a very loving and kind woman, Edward is so lucky to have her. She knows that I am Emerald's mother. She asked me few questions about me and Edward, specifically on how we met and how everything happened. I answered truthfully, and she looks pleased.

They have done some tests to me to see if I am capable of donating blood to Edward. They came back with the results, saying that I am capable of donating. I signed forms of consent and other papers that they gave me.

"Bella, are you ready for the blood transfusion?" Carlisle asked with concern.

"I'm ready," I said confidently.

I'll do everything just to save Edward. Even if the sight and smell of the blood kills me, I'll still do it. He's willing to sacrifice his life for me, and this is just a little thing that I can do for him.

Hmm..so it's Bella's turn to save Edward.

Review if you hate Gabriel and if you want him to be locked up in jail ;)

Sorry for the errors (I really wish that I am better in English;( )

Thank you so much for reading!
