Chapter 8 - Blackest hole
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I felt the air whipping past me as I fell to the ground, I closed my eyes ready for the impact...there was none...instead I felt myself being held in mid-air. The bottom of my body felt warm but the top felt very cold. I opened my eyes, staring at the floor and noticed two sets of arms underneath me...Oh no!!!
I could hear the growls building in them as I struggled to get up, Edward quickly set me right, held me in front of him and exclaimed,
"Bella love, don't you ever do anything that could harm you like that again. If it was not already silent my heart would have stopped!"
"Who do you think you are telling her what to do?! Why are you even here leech?" I moaned, I didn't want this to turn into a fight.
"Bella are you okay?!" Edward asked while looking me over. Before I could answer I was silenced by Jake.
"Get away from her! It is no concern of yours whether she is or not!!" I could see Jake was getting angrier by the second so I removed myself from Edward's arms and walked toward him. I knew how to calm him; I placed my hand on his chest while pulling his chin down to look at me.
"Jake...Look at me please", I waited, "Thank you...Please do not get angry, Edward and I were talking, you must understand that we need to talk?" He closed his eyes and breathed heavily, when he opened them he just nodded.
"I'm sorry Jake but we were not finished, go get some rest and I promise I shall ring you tomorrow"I smiled lightly at him and he smiled back...but it did not reach his eyes.
"Okay Bells" He swooped me into a bone crushing hug and smashed his lips rather roughly into mine. Hmmm I know why he did that. I did not appreciate being used to hurt Edward.
He swiftly placed me back on the ground and took off into the forest. I stood and thought for a minute.
"Bella, what are you thinking?" I closed my eyes and smiled. But it was time for talking not dreaming. I turned slowly and looked up at his gorgeous face, which was leaning to the side with a confused look on it.
"Nothing", I laughed a little, "Edward, why did you run off?"
He looked torn and that little crease between his eyebrows appeared and without thinking I reached up and smoothed it with my finger. He looked into my eyes and smiled that crooked smile I adored while raising an eyebrow at me. He chuckled a little then breathed heavily.
"I listened to what you said?" He was confused and had not interpreted what I had said properly. Over analysing much?
"Edward, you didn't let me finish but like I said Jake-
"Bella, it's okay...you don't have to explain to me, I am just glad you are happy...so I will do what I can to make it up to you but I will strive to stay out of your way" and with that he turned and began to run.
I tried to reach out quick but missed and fell to my knees. I could feel the tears filling up my eyes and they began to fall down my cheeks.
"Edward!?! Please don't leave again...you don't understand!" The rain was pouring down on me, I was soaking wet and shivering with the cold...but I did not care.
"Edward...How could you do it??....I never saw it coming, you didn't even give me an ending...an explanation?" The tears were coming fast now and I as sobbing. I just knelt there vulnerable and sobbing.
"You don't know what it was like...I was not living, I dug myself into a hole and stayed there until I realised that I didn't want to see the sun anymore because it reminded me of you...of that day in the meadow. I cut myself off from everyone and burnt every bridge I had ever built so I could have an escape because I saw you in everything." I was whispering now but if I knew Edward I knew he wouldn't have left because he wanted to hear what I was saying.
"Edward...you don't know how happy I was inside, underneath the pain, when I realised you were back. You said I would move on...you were wrong, I could never move on because you took my heart with you...but I suppose that's what you get when you let your heart win. Edward I love you more than anything, more than this universe. How did we get here? Why do we like to hurt so much Edward? You left to protect me but look at the hurt it has caused? No matter what you did I...I will always love you" I looked at the ground and breathed, sobbing quietly now.
I heard a rustling of leaves and felt Edward's cold hand pull up my chin.
"I have made such fools of ourselves haven't I?" He looked sad but there was that old sparkle back in his eye. I smiled weakly as he pulled me onto my feet and into his chest. This was where I belonged in this world, in his arms breathing his scent.
"Bella...you could never know how happy I am that you still love me, nor how much I regret ever leaving you." Before he could continue I looked up and placed my finger to his lips.
"Edward, don't please...all that matters is that you are here now...I missed you so much"
"As I you my love" He smiled widely as he stared into my eyes.
"I...I think I should go to bed...It's ben a very emotional night", he looked sad, I had to stop that, "May I sit with you in school?". His face lit up after I had asked.
"Of course, I shall be here to pick you up in the morning my love" He looked up and a strange look came upon his face as he looked behind me. Before I could turn he sweeped me into his arms and scaled the wall into my room.
"Now, get changed and go to bed Bella, you have a busy day tomorrow". I noticed he grimaced when he said this and wondered what he meant.
"Goodnight Bella, my love". He kissed me on my forehead and left for home leaving me to change for bed and fall asleep wondering what had happend in the last few minutes to upset my Edward.

EPOV
Edward
Before I had run two seconds I recieved a text off Alice:
Edward catch her!!!...Oh no!!!
I ran as fast as I could to see her jump out of her window reaching for the tree but she missed! I got there in time but I was not the only one to cath her. As Bella struggled to get up,I could hear the growl in his chest and mine did the same, I set Bella upright, held her in front of me and exasperatingly exclaimed,
"Bella love, don't you ever do anything that could harm you like that again. If it was not already silent my heart would have stopped!" The mutt turned on me and said:
"Who do you think you are telling her what to do?! Why are you even here leech?" She doesn't want you bloodsucker, I am the one she kisses goodbye at night!
Before I could react I heard Bella moan and I rushed to check her over, "Bella are you okay?!" Jake answered before she could.
"Get away from her! It is no concern of yours whether she is or not!!" I could see Jake was getting angrier by the second so but before I could move Bella ehind me she walked over to him to calm him, she placed her hand on his chest while pulling his chin down to look at her. God I wish that was me she was touching!
"Jake...Look at me please", She asked, "Thank you...Please do not get angry, Edward and I were talking, you must understand that we need to talk?" He closed his eyes and breathed heavily, when he opened them he just nodded.
"I'm sorry Jake but we were not finished, go get some rest and I promise I shall ring you tomorrow"He smiled slightly at her.
"Okay Bells" He swooped her into a bone crushing hug and smashed his lips rather roughly into hers. I shifted a bit in my place. I had no right to tear him limb from limb for that. But I know why he did that and it hurt.
He placed her back on the ground and took off into the forest just after thinking, You see leech, I can do what I want with her without hurting her...anything.
"Bella, what are you thinking?" I asked as she had been silent.
"Nothing", she laughed a little, "Edward, why did you run off?"
I grimaced and before I could speak she reached up and smoothed the crease between my eyebrows with her finger. I looked into her gorgeous brown eyes and smiled that crooked smile I knew she loved while raising an eyebrow at her. She blushed; I chuckled a little then breathed heavily.
"I listened to what you said?" I was confused about her meaning. Didn't she want me to leave? "Edward, you didn't let me finish but like I said Jake-
"Bella, it's okay...you don't have to explain to me, I am just glad you are happy...so I will do what I can to make it up to you but I will strive to stay out of your way" and with that I turned and began to run.
She tried to reach out quick but missed and fell to her knees. I stopped just beyond the cover of the trees, dying inside because she was hurt, I could see the tears swelling in her eyes. "Edward!?! Please don't leave again...you don't understand!" The rain was pouring down on her; she was freezing and soaked.
"Edward...How could you do it??....I never saw it coming, you didn't even give me an ending...an explanation?" She was sobbing and I felt my heart breaking into tiny pieces all over again.
"You don't know what it was like...I was not living, I dug myself into a hole and stayed there until I realised that I didn't want to see the sun anymore because it reminded me of you...of that day in the meadow. I cut myself off from everyone and burnt every bridge I had ever built so I could have an escape because I saw you in everything." She was whispering but I could hear everything she was saying.
"Edward...you don't know how happy I was inside, underneath the pain, when I realised you were back. You said I would move on...you were wrong, I could never move on because you took my heart with you...but I suppose that's what you get when you let your heart win. Edward I love you more than anything, more than this universe. How did we get here? Why do we like to hurt so much Edward? You left to protect me but look at the hurt it has caused? No matter what you did I...I will always love you" She looked toward the ground, I felt estatic! She loved me!! There was no way I am letting her go now.
I ran to her and pulled her face up by her chin with my hand.
"I have made such fools of ourselves haven't I?" I grimaced but I was still so happy that she loved me. She smiled weakly and I pulled her onto her feet and into my chest. This was where I belonged in this world, her in my arms, forever.
"Bella...you could never know how happy I am that you still love me, nor how much I regret ever leaving you." Before I could continue she looked up and placed her finger to my lips.
"Edward, don't please...all that matters is that you are here now...I missed you so much"
"As I you my love" I smiled jubilantly as I looked into her bright brown eyes.
"I...I think I should go to bed...It's ben a very emotional night", I felt my face fall, "May I sit with you in school?" My smile quickly returned when she said this.
"Of course, I shall be here to pick you up in the morning my love" I looked up ready to take her to her room and what I saw brought my happiness to a halt. In the shadow of the forest behind her, listening, with murder written upon his features...was Jacob Black, You shall regret coming back leech, I promise you that.
I rushed her into her room.
"Now, get changed and go to bed Bella, you have a busy day tomorrow". I grimaced as I said this, how would she handle the dog?
"Goodnight Bella, my love". I kissed her forehead and left for home thinking of what Jacob Black had in store for us.
