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.

374. Chapter 372

"Ok," I nod, breathing deeply. Edward does the same and a few minutes later, his shoulders relax and he sighs. He walks toward me and I open my arms with a sad smile on my face. We hold each other for a few minutes and I rest my head on the place where his heart beats, smiling as the sound of his heart calms me. It always has.

I pull away from him and put my hands on his biceps, levelling my gaze with his. "Let's do this. All we have to do is control the conversation. Lead it exactly where we need it to go. This ends tonight… yeah?"

His eyes are like fire as he nods with determination and I marvel at how far we've come.

No longer a scared faceless boy, my Edward's a confident man who's in control.

I smile with pride, kissing him.

Ok. That's the last for tonight.

Goodnight and I will see you - through this story - in the morning. :D
