Return to Forks
Chapter 8
BPOV
Once downstairs, Alice took off in search of Felix.
I was standing in the kitchen where is was quiet and sipping on my drink.
I heard someone cussing down the back steps and then punch the wall.
I slowly walked over to see Edward sitting on the steps hold his hand cursing as blood ran down his hand.
I quickly dashed into the kitchen and grabbed a towel and ran it back to Edward.
"Um, here you're going to get blood on your mom's carpet." I shrugged.
"Oh, yeah, thanks!" he smiled at me.
"You should get that looked at." I said to Edward.
"Yeah I guess, it hurts like hell." he said and he winced as he tried to move it.
"I'm really out of my element here, I could drive you, if you want." I shrugged.
"Um, I guess. Let's find Alice or someone to let them know." he smiled.
"You sit, I'll find." I smiled.
I found Emmett and Dmitri and Dmitri was trying to be all big brother on me again.
I assured him everything was fine, I was just driving him because I didn't want to be at this party, especially after Jasper had been staring at me since I entered the room.
He relented and told me to text him when I was done so he wouldn't worry…
I agreed and went back to the kitchen to get Edward.
He looked up and smiled.
"Shit, I don't have a car, I'm not suppose to be driving." I quoted with my fingers what his dad had said.
"That's fine, we can take mine, it's easy enough to drive with one hand, you can keep me company." he smiled and winked, I blushed and smiled back.
It was silent for a few moments until Edward broke it.
"So, Jasper and Jake. Which one will win?" he laughed.
I shook my hand and giggled. "Neither, I'm afraid. Jake is a Neanderthal and Jasper, there isn't any 'spark' there." I blushed and put my head down, embarrassed by the stupidity that had just came out of my mouth, letter my hair be my curtain.
Edward took his pinkie and moved my hair away from my face and I gasped, I felt a fucking spark, shit!
"Bella, don't ever hide behind your hair. You're much to beautiful for that. You'll make some man very happy one day." Edward smiled a sad smile.
I took in a deep breath and looked over at Edward, his eyes were furrowed and he looked upset.
"Edward, why did you punch the wall tonight." I asked softly.
He sighed and at the same time pulled into the hospital.
"Wait, don't get out just yet. Tonya and I had a huge fight. Ever since Alice and Felix got engaged, that's all she's fucking wanted! I on the other hand do NOT! I was actually breaking up with her tonight, there's someone else I'm interested in and I think about her 24/7, she's beautiful! Seems funny from the few times she's graced me with a conversation, has a wonderful smile, eyes I could get lost in, shit, I haven't wanted to be with Tonya in so long, I actually tried to break up with her before Christmas, but she thought she was pregnant, it wasn't until I threatened to take her to the Dr's myself, to find out the results, that she confessed she wasn't. That's what led up to tonight's blow out!" he sighed and rubbed his had over his face.
"Edward, you don't have to explain anything to me, I mean, I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to do so, really, but you don't owe me…" I was in the middle of talking when he leaned forward and captured my mouth in a kiss.
The sparks that coursed through my body we fantastic.
I thought I was on fire.
I greedily returned the kiss, my hands going straight for his hair.
I hadn't ever thought about Edward before, this way, only speaking to him briefly, we got into a heated conversation once about music and books, but that was it, just a few conversations amongst friends otherwise.
We broke apart, both panting, and I blushing.
"Bella, I am so sorry." he sighed, holding my face and looking into my eyes.
"Edward, don't be. I totally enjoyed it, I just was taken by surprise. I had no idea you liked me? I'm just plain, boring Bella. You had Tonya! I mean she was beautiful! And you want me and all my angst and meanness?" I blushed.
"Bella, you were dealt a bad card growing up. Charlie and your brothers want to be here for you now and so do I if you let us in. We can help you." he caressed my face and placed a chaste kiss on my lips.
"Now, can we go inside. My hand fucking hurts." he smiled.
I shook my head and smiled and we walked in, he grabbed my hand and we walked inside.
The nurse greeted him and paged his dad, he informed me we were heading to his dads office and his dad would take care of him there.
Once inside, we sat on the leather couch, Edward pulling me on his lap and into a searing kiss, his hand wrapped into my hair and mine into his.
I heard a throat clear and turned red, knowing it was Dr. Cullen.
"Edward? What the hell is going on?" his dad demanded.
"Um, I'm going to step outside." I said meekly.
"No, you're staying, I can check you too and we'll all talk." he glared at Edward.
I felt like crying and Edward could see it.
"Look dad. I broke up with Tonya tonight, she's been pressuring me to propose and I knew I didn't love her, I had feelings for Bella. SO here were are now." he smiled and kissed my forehead.
He told his dad how he broke his hand and his dad just laughed at him, telling us we made a great pair, but also reminding him that Jasper was going to be hurt by this and that we were going to have to tell the Chief. I smiled at that and Edward groaned.
"Ugh, I'm going to have to tell your brothers too." Edward sighed.
"Um, Edward. Alice needs to know too." Carlisle smiled.
Edward groaned "There goes ANY thoughts of spending time alone with you." Edward smiled.
"Why?" I asked.
"She's going to become your new best friend. She's been wanting to since you moved here, but you won't give her the time of day most of the time and well, since we're so close, she's going to want to monopolize you A LOT." he grinned.
"That means shopping right?" I frowned."Yeah. Afraid so." he smiled.
I groaned and shook my head.
Carlisle finished with Edward and checked me, Edward smiling when he got to see my stomach, typical male!
I blushed of course.
We finished up and headed back to his card.
He motioned for the keys.
"No way buddy. I'm driving back, you're still hurting." I smiled.
"Fine. But only because you're so damn cute." he smiled back and kissed me as he opened my door.
We got back to the house and the party was still going strong.
"Want go somewhere quiet to talk?" Edward asked.
"Yeah, that would be great." I smiled.
He grabbed my hand and led me upstairs, "Um, this is my room, I hope it's o.k., it's the quietest place in the house." he smiled hesitantly.
"Yeah, it's fine, I've just got to text my brothers and let them know we're back." I said.
"No, wait a few. They'll come and bother us and I'm sure they're beyond wasted right now." he smiled and I nodded in return.
We kicked off our shoes and he led me to the middle of his bed, we sat crossed leg and talk for hours, we learned each others favorite colors, music, books, what we wanted to do for college, I was surprised he wanted to follow his dads footsteps and be a doctor, mainly a pediatrician, he loved kids and wanted 3, 2 boys and a girl, just like his family now, I found out they were all adopted as well, well Alice and Emmett were actually twins, I laughed a full 10 minutes at that, Edward said it's because Emmett ate all the nutrients.
I told Edward about my upbringing and all the horrible things that had happened to me to make me the way that I was. I told him I wanted to trust and love, but it was hard to believe in the good. He hugged me and told me he'd show me.
We must have fallen asleep talking, we were awoke by Edward being pulled out of bed and Dmitri and Felix screaming at him.
Alice and I crying and trying to pull them off of him, telling them nothing had happened and really, nothing did, we were fully clothed, it felt really good snuggled in Edwards arms, I felt safe and wanted, just like he promised I would.
Finally Emmett made his way up there and pulled Felix off and Alice and I talked Dmitri away. I walked over to Edward to make sure he was O.K. and give him a chaste kiss and everyone gasped.
"Oh, uh. I broke up with Tonya last night and Bella and I are going out now. I've wanted to ask her out for a while, but I couldn't shake Tonya for the longest time after Christmas because of the pregnancy scare and I just found out it was fake, so that gave me everything I needed to get rid of her finally. I've wanted Bella since I first saw her." he smiled.
"Can everyone give me a moment with my brothers, please?" I asked.
They all nodded and exited.
Edward kissed my forehead and said he'd be right outside if I needed him.
"Dmitri and Felix, how dare you! You acted like fucking cave men tonight! That is totally uncalled for! I can't believe you would treat one of your BEST friends like that, damn it! If you two were this bad, dad is going to fucking flip! And I'm still a damn virgin!" I yelled.
My brothers covered their ears. "TMI" they yelled.
"Well, I thought it would be something ya'll would like to know…" I left it open
"No, because now we expect you to stay that way!" they both shouted.
I giggled and patted their shoulders, don't worry, it's safe for a while.
And kissed their cheeks. "Hey, where's Seth?" I asked.
"Oh, he left with some chick last night, she drove him home." they elbowed each other.
I shook my head and told them to get out.
Edward walked back in and walked us back to the bed.
"Virgin, huh?, let's talk." he smiled at me and led me towards the bed again.
