Esme drove me home. I cried against her the whole way. The exact moment we pulled into the huge driveway, Carlisle flitted up to the window. His face was etched with worry and concern. Panic filled his eyes and I felt like I was suffocating.
What was happening?!
As soon as the car stopped, I slammed open the door and sprinted out. I tripped once on the way up, and no one dared to catch me. I hadn't seen Alice in the living room, and I felt a twinge of guilt…no, more like a tidal wave-wash over me.
I jumped up the last steps and I heard a yell. It was a cry of pain. I whimpered, and the sound glued me to the floor. I wanted to through the door open and run in as fast as I could…but I couldn't move. I heard the sound again along with a soft soothing voice. Somehow, I forced my numb legs to move. I forced my dead hands to push the door open.
I fell to the floor at what I saw.
Edward was laying on his back. His chest heaving. His breathing was too fast and way to loud. His pale hands clenched the bedding, ripping holes through them.
"Shh, Edward. Calm down. She's back," I heard Alice whisper. Alice was perched next to Edward, one hand on his forehead and one on his chest. A sob escaped his lips and mine at the same second.
His voice was weak. It was raw-as if he'd been screaming for hours-which he had probably been doing.
"Bella, Bella, Bella," he panted heavily.
I got up and threw myself next to him. I turned to say something quick to Alice, but she was gone.
"Bella," he moaned, "Please-don't- go!"
I felt a terrible pain shoot through my torso. I reached for his hand, but stopped and inch away from his skin. I was being hesitant, like I was afraid to touch him. I shook my head as more tears came to my eyes. My good hand weaved through his.
He gasped and his fingers held on tight. Not tight enough that my hand would've broken…
"Edward! I'm here. I'm so sorry I left; I just had to take care of something. I'm here. Forever, remember? I love you so much!" I cried to him.
He didn't say anything, but his writhing had slowed, and his thrashing had quieted. He lay beside me almost like he was asleep. If it weren't for the hard panting, I could've sworn he was sleeping. I gently loosened my hand from his. He whimpered when I did it, and his hand tried to catch mine before it got too far, but he couldn't. He was so weak. I bet he couldn't keep his eyes open. I only prayed he could hear me.
I moved my fingers slowly up his arm and across his chest. He sighed slightly when I did that, so I lay my hand on top of his injured torso.
"Edward…can you hear me?" I asked, my voice shaking. I raised my hand to hold his cheek in my hand and stroke my thumb across his unmoving lips.
A tiny, almost unnoticeable nod of his head gave me the answer. My voice trembled as I spoke. It felt like Jacob had taken those stitches he'd used back a few months and ripped them out of me. I felt as if a knife were stabbing into my chest. This was worse that when I felt the hollow pain of the hole. This was a lot worse. Probably because I knew this was all my fault.
"I'm so sorry. Don't you know how much I love you?" I begged now. Trying to get a response out of him. He was so exhausted from the fit he threw when I …left, that he could barely move his head. I pressed my hand harder to his face, "I love you. I talked to Jacob, Edward. I am completely done with him. And…you don't ever have to doubt that,"
I could almost feel the skepticism in the air. He shifted slightly and groaned.
"Do you need something?" I asked. All I wanted to do was make him okay again. Whether he still wanted to be with a monster like me or not.
I heard a small knock on the door at the same time Edward nodded his head yes.
I ignored the door, happy that I was getting a response out of him. "What? What do you need. I'll give you anything Edward. Anything. Anything to make this right again,"
He shook his head.
"B-bella," his weak whisper came out, "c'mere," is what I thought I heard.
A sob escaped me and I leaned closer to his hurt form. My entire world was literaly falling apart at his seams. I was helpless. I sank against his side and slowly, with the speed of a caterpillar, he raised his arm and put it around me tightly. Like he never wanted me to leave. And at the moment, I was perfectly content trying to pretend. Edward was far too forgiving. I would do anything it takes to get his love. He should know that by now.
Finally, I looked at the door, already knowing who it was.
"Come in, Alice,"
And the tears had already started to flow along with my jolting sobs. I knew Edward was suffering right alongside me.
"Don't cry," I heard Edward's weak whisper. Or, at least, that's what it sounded like.
I held onto him as Alice approached me cautiously.
Edward shifted again.
"No, donzay that," he muttered. It sounded like, don't say that. "Aliz, stop," He said again.
I stared at Alice's agonized eyes and started to sob harder.
Kind of like a mini-cliffhanger, eh?
Please review!
What should Edward say to Bella. Should he let her off the hook easy like always? I'm thinking now. Maybe Bella deserves a little more pain and guilt...I guess we'll have to see what happens.
Review! Review! Review! Review!
I'm going to try to post a new chapter for one of my stories soon. Stay Posted!
