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.

269. Chapter 267

When we've both talked it through, we are calm again.

It's almost therapeutic really… to know that we can tell each other anything and just know that the other understands. Because Edward's been through the same thing; he's been abused just as I have.

We both know how hard it is to pass off as happy when we're not.

We both know how scary it is to have no choice but to face our abuser.

It's scary to have that hold, that power held over you and to be treated as a puppet… especially when you can't tell anyone.

But we can now; we have that with each other.

And so we fall asleep in each other's arms, contentedly.

Guys! It's Kitkat's birthday! I already sent her a happy birthday through review... you all should do that too!

Oh and here's that summary I promised. The new drabble I'm gonna post is called Love Knows No Boundaries... it's E/B, rated M - swearing and lemons - and it's vamp/human. Canon, of course... well, except for the fact that Charlie and Renee are together. :D

SUMMARY: A vampire who spent the last eighty years looking for his mate alongside his family and a human girl who has no one in the world but her parents. A highly unlikely pairing… but, love knows no bounds… if only life was like that.

100 word chapters... I was thinking maybe two a day... or maybe no schedule.

Let me know what you think.
