by bexie25

Step one you say we need to talk, he walks you say sit down, it's just a talk. He smiles politely back at you. You stare politely right on through. Meeting on a bus, Edward and Bella are immediately attracted to each other but their gloomy, abuse-ridden pasts make them both hesitant to trust anyone. Follow them as Bella learns not only how to save a life, but hers is saved as well.

44. Chapter 43

"My uh… my dad was abusive," I say and he inhales sharply.

I don't look up, needing to get this part out. It was possibly the hardest part.

Admitting it.

The rest just flows out from within me.

"Not sexually," I say quickly, gripping my arm as I always do. I look down at it and close my eyes as I continue. "Never sexually – he said that he wouldn't allow me to corrupt him completely."

I swear Hoody growls and I look up to see if he's ok.

I gasp.

His jaw is locked, his eyes closed, his forehead creased. I look down at his hands…

… They're fists.

Ah, protective Hoody.

Me likes protective Hoody. He's sexy.

Anyways... um, I am amazed by the amount of reviews that I have received. Thanks to all of you.

But, kitkat, you did rec it. You're amazing.

Are you thinking of sticking around for my other stories/drabbles?

Thanks kitkat and your readers for reading this... This is now my second most reviewed fic and it's far from over. In fact, I've written 66 chapters and I've got way more planned for this story... like, WAY more.

Nowhere near finished and it will fly by 100 chapters, me thinks. I hope you're prepared for the ride!

:D

I am officially off to bed now.
