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.

375. Chapter 373

We clean up around the house just a little – because there's stuff everywhere from our week and a half alone. I shiver and my stomach quivers and flutters just thinking about what we did…

"Bella?" Edward says then and I look up at him, shaking my head to stop the thoughts.

"Yeah, baby?" looking at his face, he looks decidedly determined but there's a hint of nervousness there too. "What's wrong?"

He comes toward me slowly, and just like that I feel as if we're in a whole other time – one that doesn't involve his mother and her fuckwit hubby coming to our house. He cups my face and leans in to tenderly – and, if I'm being honest, fucking sexily – kiss my lips. Fully; licking… sucking… nibbling.

Oh, sigh…

We stay there for a moment more before his words bring me – and him – back to reality.

"They're here."

And what's with the new new review… well it's definitely fucking not a "button" this time, is it? What are your thoughts on it… I don't really like it even if it will help with getting more reviews or whatever. OBSERVE BELOW!

Ugh.

Ok... so from now on (or not next chapter, the one after), the chapters are going to be REALLY close to the lyrics of the song that started this monstrosity "How to Save a Life" by The Fray. Because of that, in the AN I will post the verse that the chapter is relating to. Ok?

Please review
