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.

165. Chapter 164

"Excuse me?" Carlisle splutters, staring back and forth between Edward and me.

Edward is shocked too, because I kinda… forgot… to tell him last night.

We're sitting in the Cullen's living room with both Esme and Carlisle.

They had wanted to know what happened during dinner, so here we are, the day after the incident.

I smile. "You are the key. They were absolutely terrified; they were losing confidence in their façade as soon as I mentioned your name."

Carlisle frowns and his wife - the beautiful caramel-haired Esme - smiles… just slightly. "But why?"

I take another sip of the water that they gave Edward. Edward chuckles to himself, so softly that his parents probably couldn't hear it.

"You're reputation…" I say and he blinks, confused. I chuckle, "oh god, Carlisle; you have to know that just the mention of what they did by you could bring them down."

Hello

So, I woke up at a reasonable time (for me, at least).

I am so glad that people are so glad that I am back.

:D

Does that make sense? *scratches chin*
