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.

100. Chapter 99

"Mr Cullen," I say, holding out my hand for him to shake it.

Mr Cullen has blonde hair, pale skin and pale blue eyes; ultimately, a very attractive man.

He looks at Edward and then at me, smiling pleasantly. "Hello, Isabella. Edward has told me quite a bit about you. How are you doing?"

I smile a tight-lipped, nervous smile. "Alright."

He smiles encouragingly at me and I feel myself relax as Edward draws soothing patterns on my arm.

"Right, well," he says and he steps aside for Edward and I to walk through the threshold. "I must apologize; my wife, Esme is out. She'll be along later, though."

I nod, looking around nervously.

"Shall we get this over with?" Carlisle asks and I look at Edward.

"Sure," he says.
