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.

109. Chapter 108

"Edward," Esme cries as we walk into the lounge room. "Oh Edward, my poor child."

He swallows as she flings herself at him and he breathes shallow breaths as she cries; he rubs her back, unable to do anything else as tears fall from his eyes.

I know those tears. They are ones filled with guilt; the same ones that I cried when he first called me beautiful and I cried in Alice's arms, unable to reply.

I swallow back my emotions, determined to be strong.

I look away from them and at Carlisle. He nods at me, smiling; his face blotchy from tears.

I smile back, sure that I look just as bad.

I walk towards him and we stand, side by side, as we watch Edward and the first real mother he's ever had… cry.

Sweet, loving Esme.
