How to Save a Life

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.

74. Chapter 73

"Edward," I whimper and I run to him.

His face, his gorgeous face, is battered and bruised, bleeding.

"Fuck, what the fuck did they do to you?" I cry, grabbing his hand and pulling him into the kitchen.

I get out a few alcohol wipes and wipe at his face, cleaning all the blood off. His right eye is black, his jaw fucking purple and his temple is bleeding a little.

"Dammit," I growl out angrily as I finish up. "I have a right mind to kill the bastards."

Edward grabs me by the tops of my arms. "Baby, I'm fine. Ok? I'm fine. I've had worse."

I frown and grudgingly say: "I know that – but I don't like seeing it. Who did this? Obviously you didn't meet the four of them, as I thought you had."

He smiles then winces and I huff angrily.

"Edward Senior and my mother."

Jesus. Oh and just so you remember, his real parents are Carlisle and Elizabeth. They separated and so now we've got a bit of a good parents, bad parents kinda thing going on. :D

Carlisle is now with Esme. And Edward Senior is with Elizabeth.

Um... more is revealed about who exactly Edward Senior is next chapter. :P
