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.

97. Chapter 96

"What is it, love?" Edward asks me through the phone.

I play with the little ratty tails, looking down. "I don't… god, I don't know. I just-" I cut off, breathing in sharply, trying to sort out my thoughts. "Will this work? I know you're father knows these things, but Edward…"

He sighs; I can't really name the emotion that can be found within the many layers of covers over it. "Bella, it'll be fine. You and I both know that we need help. If we're gonna do something about Edward Senior, then we have to do it now; before he gets to us."

"I know," I sigh, anxious and angry at the same time. "It's just- fuck, why do I feel like I'm planning a murder or something here?"

I swear I can hear Edward's smile through his words. "Because in a way, we kind of are."

I panic.

Don't worry; he's not evil. He shall explain himself. And Bella and Edward will be fine... it was a slip of words on Edward's part... :D

Oh and I should probably take this moment to say thanks to kitkat for making that banner for me! She made an awesome banner and the link will be up in a few minutes... by the time you guys read this, it should be up.
