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.

172. Chapter 171

Yeah, Edward had told me that we were going too.

At first I was… well, really fucking nervous. Public eye and shit like that. It would surely be in the papers… who knows, my mother could see it.

But then… well, Edward had never seen me dressed up besides that date and certainly not to the level of… formalness that this benefit would need.

That made me excited.

"Baby, we're here," he says and he parks the car, quickly getting out of it and closing the door. He walks around to my side and grabs the door to pull it open just as I open it. I smile as he takes my hand and helps me out. "You're beautiful, baby."

I smile, "thanks. You're not too bad yourself… very handsome." He's wearing a black, thin tie suit with a white shirt. The tie is the colour of my dress; eye-catching.

Sorry for the delay. I had Microsoft Word problems. First, I wrote the chapter and I was going to save it when it closed itself... so then, I tried opening it again and I did but Microsoft Word froze and I had to close the program. (It was a restart). It opened with no recoveries... so I looked everywhere in my files. Not there. I was on the verge of tears...

When around an hour later, it froze again so I repeated the process and it opened with all the documents I'd been working on. And we're talking Femme Fatale, A Choice, I'm a Girl with Power,How to Save a Life... and more. :D :D

And then, it froze up again so I opened a new document and copied this chapter word for word. It nearly froze when I changed the language from English American to English Australian and then again when I saved it... Now, I have to wait before I can work on any chapters for other stories... that includes this one.

Sorry for the lengthy explanation. :D
