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.

186. Chapter 185

"Well, he didn't fracture anything," Carlisle says, smiling as he turns away from the x-ray board and back to me.

"Huh," I huff as Edward relaxes from behind me. "It sure feels like he has."

Carlisle smiles sympathetically. "The face is very fragile so I would imagine that he nearly did fracture at least one bone."

"It's fine. As I said, I've had worse."

Carlisle frowns, "yes, yes I saw that. Would you by any chance tell me how?"

I shrug and smile wryly. "My father was abusive and he knew his tricks."

Edward makes some sort of an angry sound at the word "tricks" and I smile apologetically. He kisses my nose.

"Well that explains a lot," Carlisle says, breaking through our sweet moment. He's looking pointedly between Edward and me.

"How so?"

"Well, you're dealing well with all of this."

I smile, "that's because I've been through it."
