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.

131. Chapter 130

"But," I say carefully, knowing I'm treading on water. "We wanna know why we need to do this?"

Carlisle smiles. "We need to know their family life."

Edward snorts, "you're not gonna find it unless they don't know you're there. They are perfect in front of people… it's when they are alone or they are with me that they come out from their shells."

He wraps an arm around my waist and I look up to see his face. He's thinking hard about something, but I know he won't tell me if I ask whilst his parents are here.

"Well then," Carlisle says, continuing on with our conversation as if Edward isn't glaring in his direction right now. "We need to break through that facade."

"And how do you suggest we do that?" Edward scoffs; his hard tone sardonic and mocking.

I don't like this side of him.

I'm not sure that I do, either. :S

Oh well... we're getting to the end of this discussion. I'm relieved, to be honest... it's a bitch to write. I don't like it when my characters are angry.
