I know that this is a short chapter and I'm very sorry, but I'll start working on Chapter Three as soon as possible :)
Chapter Two: Mine?
BPOV:
"We're home," I whispered softly caressing my beautiful stranger's cheek. Wait a minute. Did I just say MY beautiful stranger?! Where did that come from?! He's NOT yours, Bella. I had to remind myself that he's NOT mine, even though I couldn't stop claiming that he's mine in my head. It's very confusing, I know.
"Carlisle is going to take good care of you. I promise," I whispered soothingly while running my hands through his damp reddish brown hair as Emmett parked his Jeep. My beautiful stranger dozed off with his head on my lap and my sweater wrapped around him, on our way home after Emmett rescued him from that monster who was punching him. He was sleeping peacefully and didn't even stir when I ran my fingers through his hair. His eyes were closed and he looked worn out and exhausted from all the punches and kicks he received from that monster before my huge brother scared him away.
Emmett got out of the car and opened my door to help me out of the car. He helped me out of the car because he knows my clumsiness too well. Something as simple as getting out of the car can turn into a disaster if I'm the one getting out of the car. Truth be told, I'm a klutz, or a "Walking Hazard" as Emmett usually calls me whenever he wants to make me blush. So getting out of the car could have ended in a catastrophic way if it hadn't been for Emmett's help. After helping me out of the car, Emmett carried my beautiful stranger effortlessly out of the car, while I opened the door to our huge house for him.
"I'll take him to the guest room," Emmett said as he ascended the stairs on his way to the floor where my room, his and Alice's were located. The guest room was upstairs, along with Carlisle and Esme's bedroom and Carlisle's study. "No! Take him to my room," I nearly screamed.
I've known this stranger for mere minutes, but yet the thought of leaving him or not seeing him made me shudder. It was like I was drawn to him by some mysterious unexplainable force. As if he's a powerful magnet and I'm a tiny iron filing helplessly attracted to him, and there's nothing I can do about it.
After Emmett put my stranger on my bed, I asked him quietly to go upstairs to tell Carlisle and Esme everything that has happened quickly and send Carlisle to my room as soon as possible. I covered my beautiful stranger who was still sleeping with a blanket as Emmett went to get Calisle and Esme. I was very grateful for having an adoptive father who was an excellent doctor. Not only did he treat me whenever I got injured after tripping over thin air which happens on a daily basis due to my clumsiness, without having to go to the ER, but also he will treat my stranger right now.
A few minutes later, Carlisle came into my room holding his bag, with Esme and Emmett behind him. Carlisle got to work immediately not wasting any time. I stared at him blankly as he examined my stranger.
"Bella, are you alright sweetheart?" Esme asked me kindly, looking worried.
"I'm fine. It's him I'm worried about," I replied looking pointedly at my beautiful stranger.
"He's going to be alright, Bella. It's just a couple of cuts and bruises," Carlisle said smiling softly at me, trying to make me feel better but failing miserably.
"A couple of cuts and bruises?! What kind of heartless monster did this to him?!" I said loudly enraged. My emotional outburst was unnecessary and I knew it. I could have woken up my stranger, but fortunately I didn't. After keeping my emotions in check, I apologized to Carlisle for my emotional outburst. "I'm sorry, Carlisle. I'll try to keep my emotions in check. It's just that I'm so worried about him," I admitted blushing.
"He'll be fine, Bella. He just needs some rest. We should let him rest now," he replied smiling warmly at me. "I'll just put some bandages over his cuts and sedate him, so he can have some rest."
As soon as Carlisle bandaged my stranger and sedated him, he left taking Esme and Emmett with him. A couple of minutes later, I heard a lot of noise coming from the living room downstairs. Alice must be home. She must have brought Jasper and Rosalie with her. Jasper is Alice's boyfriend and his sister Rosalie is Emmett's girlfriend. Jasper and Rosalie are our best friends. We hang out with them all the time. They must have insisted on coming with Alice to make sure that we're okay after my phone call freaked them out. I had simply told Alice to meet me at the house without any further explanation, before I snapped my phone shut. A freaked out Alice is definitely the last thing I would want to face right now. She's always bubbly and hyper but when she freaks out, that's a totally different story. She's probably mad at me, too for worrying her sick about me and Emmett. Then I heard footsteps on the stairs and knew that I'd be done for if it's Alice.
To my dismay, it was actually Alice. Who else could it be?! She barged into my bedroom ready to yell at me, but then she looked at my bed and saw my beautiful stranger sleeping. I motioned for her to keep quiet and to get out of the room. To my surprise, she complied quietly. She got out of the room first and I followed her closing my bedroom door behind me. Time to face the music.
