Chapter 8
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" We heard a voice roar out. Carlisle and I whirled around and I had time to see and angry Edward before Edward picked me up and placed me behind him faster than I could blink. I heard Carlisle growl deep in his chest and I swear it was the sexiest thing I have ever heard. Then I heard the other Cullens come in. They took one look around the room. Edward standing in a crouch in front of me and staring at Carlisle with pure hate in his eyes and Carlisle crouching to still growling. Emmett and Jasper immediately went to stand in-between them. Carlisle stood back up while Edward turned around and started looking over my body as though he was searching for something.
"Bella?" Edward said. "Are you ok? Did he hurt you?"
"What?" I said. "No of course not."
"NO!" Edward roared as he turned to face Carlisle. "NO YOU'RE LYING!"
"Why would I lie to you Edward?" Carlisle asked calmly.
Edward turned back to me "Bella," he said gripping my arms. "Bella tell me he's lying."
I had no idea what he was talking about then I realized he was obviously reading something that was going on in Carlisle's mind. I could probably guess what Carlisle was thinking about that was making Edward so mad and making Carlisle smirk like he was.
"What are you talking about Edward?" Rosalie asked Edward from where she and Alice were standing behind us. "What is he thinking?"
"He is showing me his memories" Edward explained without taking his eyes from mine. His eyes which were now black from anger. "He is showing me that Bella kissed him first." He gripped my arms slightly tighter. "Now Bella tell me he's lying ." When I didn't answer right away he gripped my arms so tight I was sure they would bruise and shook me "Answer me!" He growled.
I tried to pull away from him but I couldn't he was too strong. "No Edward he's not lying," I said. "I love Carlisle and he loves me."
"NO!" Edward roared and he started to squeeze my arms tighter.
"Ow Edward let go you're hurting me!" I yelled I was afraid I he was going to break my arm. I heard a growl and a crash that sounded like thunder and the next thing I knew Alice had pulled me backwards and Carlisle had Edward pinned to the wall by his throat. I looked around and saw Emmett and Jasper on the floor.
"Damn" Emmett said as he got to his feet "I forgot how strong Carlisle really is."
Carlisle still had Edward pinned to the wall while Jasper and Emmett tried to pull him off. "You will never touch my mate like that ever again." Carlisle growled at Edward. "Do you understand me?"
"She is not your mate!" Edward managed to get out "she is mine!" Edward and Carlisle kept growling things to each other, but so low that I couldn't hear.
"C'mon Bella" Alice said "I'll take you home. Alice started to pull me along as I stood frozen staring at the two vampires still growling at each other. "Bella please" Alice said. "There is about to be a fight and I don't want you to get hurt." I finally tore my eyes away from Carlisle and Edward and allowed Alice to lead me to my truck.
When we got in with Alice driving she looked at me as I sat frozen. "Bella are you ok?" Alice asked me.
I nodded and said "Yeah just a little shocked."
Alice gave a short laugh the quieted down the suddenly said something I wasn't expecting. "Bella I'm so sorry." She cried out. I looked at her like she was crazy.
"What why?" I asked her.
"I saw what was happening between you and Carlisle" Alice started. "Actually I been seeing it for a while now and I had always blocked it from Edward. But tonight I thought Jasper and I were far enough from Edward to see my vision, but he had come to get me and Jasper and he saw you two in my head and took off for the house before we could catch him. And he is so much faster than the rest of us. I'm so sorry Bella!"
I sat there dumbstruck. Not only had she seen what was going on between Carlisle and me she was apologizing because she couldn't keep it from Edward, so that had to mean that she wasn't mad. But I had to be sure. "So wait your not mad that Carlisle and I are in love?" I asked.
"What!?" Alice asked. "No of course not. Like I said I have seen what was going to happen between you since the day you met." She saw the look on my face and started laughing. "Oh my God Bella did you actually think I would be mad?" Alice asked.
"Well yeah," I said. "I mean I was with Edward and now I'm with your dad. Isn't that weird for you?"
"Not really Bella." Alice said as she pulled into my driveway. "Remember Carlisle isn't really our dad so it's not that weird."
"Ok" I said "so your not mad, but what about the rest of you family."
"Well" Alice said thinking "I'm happy and Jasper will be happy because you and Carlisle have been hiding your feelings it has been kind of hard on him having to feel it all the time. As for Emmett he will think its hilarious and since he already loves you he will be happy."
"And what about Rosalie, Esme, and Edward?" I asked.
"Oh Esme will be so happy that you have found each other. Remember Bella she has Jason as her mate now. She will be so happy that Carlisle has found his in you." Alice assured me
"Ok she will be happy" I said "but what about Rosalie and Edward?
"Well Rosalie will be hard to convince, but she will come around once she sees how happy you make Carlisle. As for Edward well that's different" Alice drifted off.
I looked over and saw the look on Alice's face that I knew she got when she was having a vision.
"What was it what did you see?" I asked sacred something had happened to Carlisle.
"The fight between Carlisle and Edward is over." Alice said. "Carlisle has sent Edward to Alaska for a while. Oh and he will be over to see you in a few minutes and he will come in through your window. So since he will be here I'm going to go ahead and go."
Alice have me a quick hug and said with a smile "Bye Bella I will see you tomorrow." She gave me another smile and ran quickly into the trees. I made my way into the house.
"Hey kiddo" Charlie called from his recliner in the living room. "Where were you?"
He didn't sound mad so I said "I went to the Cullen's house for a little while I hope that's ok."
Charlie chuckled he said "That's fine Bells just leave me a note or something next time ok?"
"Sure dad I will." I went over and gave him a hug and said "I'm tired dad so I'm going to bed."
Dad awkwardly gave me a one arm hug and said "ok goodnight."
"Goodnight," I said as I ran up the stairs. I went into my room grabbed my pajamas and went to the bathroom to take a shower before Carlisle showed up. I turned on the shower and then I stripped. I looked at myself in the mirror and I saw the bruises that Edward left on my arms. They were blue and purple and you could clearly see that they were in the shape of hands. Luckily they were high enough on my arms that if I wore a short sleeved shirt you couldn't see them. I stepped into the shower and let the warm water run over my body soothing me.
I stepped out of the shower quickly got dressed and towel dried my hair. I sat down on my bed and waited for Carlisle. As I waited I started thinking about how amazing it was that this wonderful man was meant for me. Out of everybody in the world he was meant for plain old ordinary Bella. Then of course my low self esteem decided to show itself. How could that wonderful, beautiful, glorious man be meant for me? There is no way he could want me or love me. It made perfect sense for me to love Carlisle. But it made no sense whatsoever for Carlisle to love me, much like it made no sense for Edward to love me either. I was just a plain ordinary human I was nothing special. I was still thinking about this when Carlisle stealthily climbed through my window five minutes later.
Carlisle smiled quickly walked over to me and kissed me quickly on the cheek. He took one look at my face and the smile left his face. He gently cupped my face in his hands and said "my Bella what is wrong? Please tell me and I will do all in my power to make it right."
"Why?" I whispered knowing he could hear me.
"Why what Bella?" He whispered his voice sounded like he was in pain.
"Why do you love me?" I asked. He looked at me like I was crazy. "Don't look at me like that," I continued. "I'm just an ordinary human girl there is nothing special about me." I couldn't look at his face anymore so I looked down.
Carlisle tilted my head up so I had to look into his eyes. "Oh my Isabella you do not see yourself clearly at all do you?" He shook his head. "You are anything but ordinary. However my love if you want proof I'm afraid I cant give you any."
I looked back at him surprised. "The only thing I can tell you is how do you prove the sky is blue, the oceans wide? All I know is what I feel when I look into your eyes.(AN: As much as I wish I could claim that line I can't everything in italics belongs to The Backstreet Boys as it comes from their song I Promise You.)
And what I see when I look into your eyes my Bella is pure love. Love stronger than anything else I have ever felt. Stronger than even me."
I looked at him with tears in my eyes. Nobody had ever said anything so beautiful to me. And as I looked into his beautiful golden eyes I saw the truth in them and knew what he was saying was real. I could only think of one thing to do in that moment. I threw my arms around him and kissed him with as much passion as I could muster. As we kissed I could feel all my doubts being washed away as again I compared how kissing him was more powerful than I when I ever kissed Edward. Wait Edward. As much as I didn't want to stop kissing Carlisleā¦ever I needed to know about what happened after I left with Alice.
I pulled back from Carlisle enough so I could look into his eyes. "Carlisle please tell me what happened after I left."
Carlisle hesitated for a second sighed and then said " well Emmett was able to pull me off of Edward and Jasper was able to hold on to Edward." Carlisle looked ashamed with himself. "I'm sorry that you had to see me like that Bella, but when I saw that he was hurting you I couldn't stop myself all I knew was that I had to stop him."
I placed my hand on his cheek and said "I'm glad you did Carlisle. I'm afraid that if you didn't Edward might have broken my arm."
Carlisle leaned into my touch and placed a kiss on my palm. He held my had to his face and asked "I didn't scare you at all? Not even when I growled?"
I smiled "no you didn't scare me. You shocked me a little bit and as for you growling that was one of the sexiest thing I have ever heard."
"So what happened after Emmett and Jasper separated you two?" I asked.
"Well" Carlisle continued "Jasper was giving off enough calm so I was able to tell Edward that he had to either leave or family or go to Alaska for a while."
"Carlisle!" I said shocked I couldn't believe that he was going to expel Edward from his family. "You can't tear your family apart just because of me."
"Bella you are family and trust me what I did is nothing compared to what Emmett and Jasper wanted to do." I looked at him quizzically. "Emmett and Jasper wanted to tear him to pieces and I would have let them if I knew that is what you would have wanted."
"Why would they want to kill him?" I asked.
"Bella" he laughed, "Emmett and Jasper already love you like a sister and we protect our family no matter who hurts them. Besides it wouldn't have killed him. You have to burn our pieces to kill us."
I was barely listening to him I was still marveling over the fact that Carlisle was willing to separate himself from his longtime companion, his son just to protect me. And that Jasper and Emmett were willing to hurt their brother.
"By the way," Carlisle said bringing my attention back to him. "Esme sends her love and she is very happy that we have realized what we are to each other."
"You spoke to Esme?" I asked "And she is happy for us?"
"Yes I called her to let her know about Edward deciding to go to Alaska to stay with her. And yes she is very happy that we finally realized that we are in love." Carlisle smirked "apparently she could see it since the day we met."
I smiled happy that Esme didn't hate me. Suddenly everything that happened today caught up with me and I yawned. Carlisle saw this and chuckled saying "well my Isabella you have had a very exciting day and you need to sleep." He kissed my lips lightly and made a move to get up.
I grabbed his arm and said "wait! Please stay with me." Carlisle smiled the biggest smile I have ever seen nodded and laid down beside me in bed. I immediately snuggled up to his side wrapping my arms around him and resting my head on his chest. Once again I noticed that he wasn't as cold as the rest of his family. I wondered why that was and was going to ask him but decided I was too tired right now and would ask him tomorrow. Carlisle started to run his fingers through my hair and I was instantly sleepy. Right before I dropped off I nestled my head deeper into Carlisle's chest and said "I love you."
Carlisle then kissed my forehead and said "I love you too my sweet Isabella." And with that I drifted into my dreams filled with the beautiful vampire that laid beside me.
