Esme's POV
Edward was driving insanely fast. I wanted to stay quiet even in my brain so I wouldn't distract him, or make him more stressed then he was now.
Carlisle's POV
My silver phone started to ring in my pocket. I stopped only a moment to check who it was. I did not want to be interrupted now. I had searched all over town for what had felt like 2 hours, even using my vampire speed.
It was Alice. I stopped dead in my tracks as I heard her voice over.
¨Hello? Carlisle are you there? Carlisle please come home. Edward and Esme just got home. There is nothing to worry about. They are home now and only 5 minutes after you left. Please come home Carlisle. They are here and they are Ok. I swear. Esme says that if you don't come home in 2 minutes, the whole family is going to come and look for you. ¨
I heard her voice and yet I couldn't bring myself to answer the phone. Esme was OK. Edward was OK.
I found it curious how Alice hadn't mentioned Emmet and Rose. Something still felt wrong. Something was still missing. I knew it.
I listened to Alice's message again and this time, a different part caught my attention. ¨5 minutes after you left. ¨
Has it only been 5 minutes? It had felt longer than that. Much longer than that. I checked the clock and it showed 2:50. I was sure that I left the house at 1:10.
I couldn't worry about that now. I started toward the house. Halfway there I started to feel really dizzy. And I felt like my blood pressure was rising. But of course I wasn't supposed to have a blood pressure. I tried to focus on getting home. But it was becoming harder by the second. The last thing I felt was my knees giving away and then... nothing.
