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.

268. Chapter 266

When we get home, Edward leads us directly to our room, closing the door.

We lie down, curled around each other in silence, taking comfort from each other.

A part of me needs to dispel my fears, but another is worried of his reaction.

Despite that, I tell him.

I tell him that I'm worried that I could hurt our child.

I tell him that I'm scared that I could completely destroy what we have and our child because of my past.

And then he speaks, and not only is he understanding… but… but he's been holding out on some of his own fears.

He tells me that he feels the same way.

He tells me that sometimes he feels that he doesn't deserve me or our child – deserve happiness – because he knows that he could fuck it all up.

I listen, desperately wanting to dispel them as he did.

How is everyone feeling about HTSAL? Is it getting boring now, because don't worry if it is - it won't be for long.

Let me know through review...
