Chapter Five: Changes
This is where the story turns to M for Mature, because of the bad language. It also will have violence father down the line..
Anyway, on with the story! =D
"I'll miss you mom." I said hugging her.
"Me too, but I'll be back soon." She said.
"I hope so." I said.
She picked up her bags and gave me a final wave before heading to the taxi waiting for her. I waved and watched her drive off before heading to the kitchen. I was sad that it was a short visit, but I couldn't expect her to stay forever. I walked into the laundry room and started some much needed laundry. A lot of my clothes were disgusting because if the food poisoning that I had, I puked on some of them and there were other things on other ones that you don't want to know about. My phone buzzed in my pocket.
"Hello?" I answered.
"How is my amazing wife doing this morning?" My husband asked.
"A little sad." I admitted.
"Why sad? What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing really... Renee just left..." I said.
"She'll come visit again love." He told me.
"I know." I said.
"How about I take my sad wife out to dinner tonight, would that cheer you up?" He asked.
"As long as I don't get food poisoning again." I joked.
He laughed.
"Meet me at the hospital after I get off." He said.
"Okay!" I said smiling.
"I will see you later." He said.
"I'm excited." I said.
"Me too, I love you." He told me.
"I love you too." I said.
We said our goodbyes and hung up.
I started picking up the house, it was pretty clean already, but I liked cleaning it kept me busy.
Knock, Knock Knock...
I walked over to the door and answered it, a very stressed out Jake stood at the door.
"Jake! What's going on?" I asked.
"I screwed things up!" He said.
"What did you screw up?" I asked.
"Julie, she took off. I don't know what I did! I don't know what I said to make her leave!" He said.
I let him inside as we went to sit on the couch.
"First off, tell me what happened." I said.
"We got into a fight, I honestly cant tell you about what... And it escalated to a earthquake, and she left." He said.
We were quiet for a little bit, until Jake started to cry. I'm not talking about a little sniffling and a few tears, I'm talking about full blown break down. I put my arms around him and pulled his head to my shoulder, he shook in my arms. I have never seen Jake cry this bad, and I didn't even know that he and Julie were this close!
"It will get better Jake." I whispered.
"I love her Bella... I love her." He said.
"Jake, I didn't even know you guys were so close!" I said.
"We didn't tell a lot of people at first, we have been dating for six months before we even told anyone. It has been eight months now officially." He said.
"Are you going to marry her?" I asked.
"I-I- I wanted too!" He cried.
My heart broke as I hugged him tightly.
"She will forgive you Jake, just give her time to think. Maybe she just needs time to herself to figure things out." I told him.
"Thank you Bella." He said.
It took a few minutes but Jake was able to get himself together. I got up and got us a bowl of chocolate ice cream. We ate it while lounging on the couch and watched some movie that was on Lifetime about an abusive husband and a scared wife.
"What an idiot, why doesn't she just leave him!" I said.
"Who knows." Jake said shaking his head.
Before I knew it, it was time to meet Edward at the hospital. I hated to make Jake leave, but I needed to get ready. I didn't dress up too much, because I knew Edward would probably be in his scrubs for the supper. I just dressed in a pair of tight fitting blue jeans, and a dark blue v-neck shirt. I curled my hair slightly before putting on some make up. I ran downstairs grabbing my purse before rushing out of the door.
I'm running late! Be there in a few! XOXO B
I sent the text to Edward.
Don't rush, caught up with a patient. XOXO E
I smiled climbing into my car and pulling out of the drive way.
…
"Is Dr. Cullen here?" A guy asked.
I didn't even think much of it, I just kept texting Alice who was asking me what I was wearing to this dinner. She was having a panic attack because I was wearing jeans, and I was trying to explain to her that it would be okay. Edward would still love me, he would love me if I showed up naked, which I'm sure he would have no complaints.
"Which one? Edward or Carlisle?" Jerry asked.
"Edward." He said.
"...It looks like he is with a patient." Jerry told the guy.
"Can you page him?" The guy asked.
"Well..." He said.
"DAMN IT! PAGE HIM!" The guy yelled.
I snapped my head up, security made their way over.
"May I ask why it is so important to see him?" Jerry asked.
"I just need to talk to him." He said.
"Who are you? I have never seen you before." I said.
"And you are?" He asked.
"I am Edward's wife." I told him.
"Can you tell him that I need to talk to him?" He asked.
"I don't even know who-" I started.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?! AND GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY WIFE!" Edward growled making my jump.
My eyes went wide as Edward ripped the guy away from me.
"Edward!" I gasped.
"I wanted to talk to you." The guy said.
"It's too late to talk, you should have talked a while ago!" Edward hissed.
I was confused, and Jerry looked just as much confused as I was.
"I suggest you leave, and if I catch you with my wife again, I will not hesitate to snap your neck." Edward threatened.
"I see you need a few days to think this over, fine, take those few days. Just know that I'll be back, and that we need to talk about this Edward." He said.
"We have nothing to talk about. Leave!" Edward growled.
The guards ended up escorting the guy out, Edward turned to me and walked past me into the doctors lounge.
"What just happened?" I asked Jerry.
"I have no clue." He said.
"Has that guy been in here before?" I asked.
"No, never." He told me.
"I-What do I do? Should I go talk to Edward? Or wait for him to calm down?" I asked.
"I don't know Bella." Jerry told me.
"Come on Bella, now!" Edward said.
My eyes went wide as I grabbed my purse, I took one more glance at Jerry before rushing to follow Edward. Edward got in the drivers seat of my car, I slid in the passenger side and handed him the keys. He started the car and pulled out of the parking lot. He sped out out of the parking lot so fast the tires squealed.
"Edward! Slow down!" I said.
He just went faster. I looked at him, his knuckles were white from gripping the steering wheel so tight. I noticed that we were headed back to the house.
"Edward.. Edward I thought we were going out to dinner!" I gasped.
"I'm not hungry anymore." He said.
"Edward, what is going on?! Who was that guy?!" I asked.
"Just forget it Bella, it doesn't concern you!" He growled.
"I'm you wife Edward! It does too concern me! And it obviously has you upset!" I snapped back at him.
"ENOUGH!" He roared going faster.
"EDWARD SLOW DOWN! You will get us killed!" I screamed.
He slowed down a little but he was still going fast, we were finally home as he put the car in park. We went inside the house and he stormed upstairs and slammed the bedroom door. I stood there not knowing what to do, or what to think.
…
I sat on the bed hugging my knees watching my now sleeping husband. I had tears running down my cheeks as I tried figuring out what this all was. Who was the guy? And why did he upset Edward so much? Edward groaned and moved a little bit placing his arm over his eyes. I thought he fell back a sleep before he lifted his arm and opened his eyes, he lifted his head a little and looked at me. I looked down at the bed not knowing where to look.
"Bella?" He asked.
"Sorry, I'll go back downstairs." I said before going to get off the bed.
"Bella." He said stopping me.
I looked at him.
"I'm sorry." He said.
I still didn't know what to say.
"I must have scared you." He said.
"You kind of did." I admitted.
"I'm sorry, I acted stupid and it will never happen again, I promise you that." He said.
"Edward, who was that guy?" I asked.
"Just someone who shouldn't have came back into my life." He said.
I wanted to push it further, but I didn't want to make him angry again. We talked about how our days went before heading to bed.
The Next Day
Edward and I both had the day off, I jumped out of the shower and got dressed. I heard yelling from downstairs, I dried my hair as I walked down the stairs to see what all the yelling was about.
"DO NOT CALL HERE AGAIN!" Edward yelled.
"Edward?" I said.
"Bella." He said turning around.
"Who was that?" I asked.
"Oh, wrong number. They wont be calling again." He said smiling.
"Edward? Was that a guy?" I asked.
"Yeah, why?" He asked.
"I didn't think about it until now, but the guy at the hospital.. He has called before." I whispered.
"What?!" He snapped.
"Yeah, at the apartment. That wrong number? That was the first one, and then he called twice after that." I told him.
"Why didn't you tell me?!" He asked.
"I didn't think that it was anything to worry about! Alice said I should just ignore it, and Rose agreed!" I told him.
"You talked to my sisters?! You told them but you didn't tell me?!" He yelled.
"They both agreed that the phone calls were harmless! I didn't see the point in worrying you over something that wasn't endangering either of us!" I tried reasoning with him.
He pinched the top of his nose and closed his eyes. He was obviously was getting irritated or angry about all of this.
"I don't understand this Edward! Why wont you talk to me!" I snapped.
"I have to go." He said.
"Where are you going?!" I asked.
"I don't know, but I'm not staying here!" He snapped before grabbing his coat and slamming the front door.
My eyes went wide, I ran outside.
"EDWARD! STOP!" I screamed from the front porch.
He tore out of the driveway.
…
I rocked back in forth crying, Jasper rubbed my back trying to get me to calm down.
"He isn't coming back!" I cried.
"He will Bella, he is just upset." He told me.
"No, he hates me! He hates me and he is probably out getting divorce papers as we speak! We didn't even last a year!" I cried.
"Stop this right now Bella! He loves you, and I don't know what is going on with this strange guy either, but whoever he is obviously has Edward completely spooked." Jasper said.
It took a while but I finally calmed down, I was now curled up in Jasper's arms as we mindlessly watched television. Keys jiggled as the door unlocked, I looked up to see Edward walk through the door, he closed the door before putting his keys down. I sat up, Edward was holding a dozen red roses and a box of chocolates. Jasper took this as his cue to leave, he kissed the side of my head before getting his jacket and leaving.
"Would saying sorry help?" Edward asked after a few minutes of silence.
"It might." I said.
"I'm sorry." He said holding out the flowers and the chocolates.
I stood up and walked over to him, I looked at the flowers before taking them. He opened the lid to the chocolates, I looked at them. He took one out and fed it to me, I smiled a little before chewing slowly. He took the flowers from me and set the chocolates down before pulling me in his arms.
"I'm sorry Bella, I will never yell at you like that again. I just need time okay? Please just give me a little more time." He whispered.
I nodded.
"Okay." I said.
He cooked me dinner to make up for last night, we finished the night with laying in bed eating chocolate covered strawberries. I looked at my husband leaning over and kissing him, I knew it would take some time for him to open up to me and tell me who the guy was. I was willing to wait though, I would wait a million years if I had too, but right now, in this moment, everything was fine.
Or so I thought...
