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.

108. Chapter 107

"Edward, baby?" I whisper softly, my fingers touching his shoulders. He tenses for a mere second before relaxing… just slightly.

His cries lessen over a few minutes and eventually, he has enough courage to look me in the eyes.

My heart breaks at what I see; he's scared, haunted… white as a sheet, as a ghost.

"Bella?" He asks hoarsely, looking at me just as I look at him. And then he smiles through tears. "Oh God, Bella; you're here…"

I smile at him too, careful to not show any teeth. "Yeah… of course I'm here."

He swallows, then twists around and wraps his arms around my waist. I lay my head on his shoulder and we simply… hold each other as he slowly but surely comes back to me.
