Here's chapter 10, enjoy :) Don't forget to review please xx
Edward's POV
Ever since Bella left the hospital with her father I couldn't stop feeling like she was in grave danger. I was almost certain she was about to tell me something just as her father turned up. The way he was with her concerned me, the way he spoke with nothing but vemon in his voice towards her isn't what you would expect a father to be like when his daughter had just been attacked. He should be making sure she is okay and helping her to the car.
After she left the hospital, I went to find Carlisle. I knocked on his office door and he told me to come in.
'Hey Edward, you okay?' he asked me.
'Not really. I can't stop thinking about Bella, I feel like she is in danger' I told him.
'I'm sure she will be fine Edward. I promise if someone is hurting her then we will find out but we need evidence first' He explained and I knew he was right but I couldn't stop feeling worried for her.
'I know but when we were in the waiting room, I noticed that her hands were shaking so I asked her if she was okay and she said she was fine and I know I probably shouldn't of but I asked her if someone was hurting her and she was going to say something but she just suddenly froze and that's when I noticed her dad was behind me. He looked really angry and he practically dragged her out of the hospital. It definitely wasn't the behaviour you would expect a parent to be like when their child has been attacked. She looked so scared' I explained to him.
'Well if you want we could go and check on her on the way home just in case' he said.
'But wouldn't that be a little strange us just turning up on her doorstep for no good reason' I said.
'True but I could always take her some pain medication and just say I forgot to give her it even though I did' he said. It could work.
'Yeah let's do that' I said eagerly. I wanted to make sure she was okay.
'Okay well I finish my shift in half an hour. Do you want to wait here for me and then we can go' he said.
'Sure' I said.
'I'll be back soon' he said and left the room. Time seemed to incredibly slow and I wanted nothing more than to go straight to her now. Finally Carlisle came back and we left the hospital and got into his car and speed to Bella's house. We were halfway there when my phone starting ringing I didn't know who it was.
'Hello' I said answering the phone.
'Edward it's Bella' came Bella's voice. I immediately started panicking, you could tell she had been crying.
'Bella what's wrong' I asked panic rising in my voice.
'I need help, I'm hurt. Please come' She begged me through the phone. Carlisle clearly hearing this put his foot down knowing she was in trouble.
'Calm down. Me and Carlisle are on our way now, What's happened?' I asked her trying to keep my voice calm but on the inside I was fuming that she was hurt.
'I promise, I'll explain everything later but please hurry' She said with fear clear in her voice.
'Bella don't worry sweetheart we are only a couple of minutes away. Who's hurt you?' I ask her but already knowing the answer. I should never of let her go today, I had a bad feeling. I should of stopped this from happening.
'Charlie' She whispers and breaks down into more tears. Hearing her so upset breaks my unbeating heart further. How could anyone cause someone this much pain is beyond me.
'Where is he now?' I ask her wanting to make sure she is safe until we get there.
'I think he's unconscious downstairs, I kicked him away from me and he hit his head' she explains.
'Where are you?' I ask her.
'I've locked myself in my room' she says and then I can hear her heartbeat and breathing pick up through the phone.
'Edward are you here?' She asks me.
'We are around the corner Bella. We will be there in two seconds' I tell her and then I hear Charlie banging loudly on her bedroom door.
'BELLA OPEN THIS FUCKING DOWN NOW!' I hear yell in the background.
'Please hurry Edward he's kicking my door open' She screams down the phone.
'We are here just hold on' I say that when I hear her phone smash to the ground and a loud bang is heard. Carlisle pulls the car over and I leapt out and run towards her house as fast as possible. When I get to her bedroom I see Charlie pick Bella up and fling her into the wall before I get a chance to stop him. I start seeing red when he does this and he goes to kick her in the ribs but before he gets the chance to I grab hold of his neck and push him away from her. I look over to Bella and when she sees me and Carlisle standing there she breathes a big sigh of relief and her body goes less rigid.
I look behind me just in time to see Charlie coming charging at me again with his fist clenched but I grab hold of his fist before he gets the chance to even touch me and punch him sending him flying into the wall and getting knocked unconscious. Carlisle goes running to Bella's side.
'Omg, Are you okay Bella? Where does it hurt?' Carlisle asks kneeling next to Bella. He pulls something out of his medical bag and holds it to the cut on Bella's forehead to stop the bleeding.
'I am now and my head is pounding and I can't see properly from him punching me and I think he's broken some ribs. I feel really dizzy' She says and winces in pain.
'I'm going to give you something for the pain and then we are going to get you out of here' Carlisle says and rummages through his bag again and a few minutes later injects some pain medication into her arm.
'There it should kick in soon. It might make you sleepy but it will stop the pain' he says.
'Edward?' She whispers.
'Yes Bella I'm right here' I say rushing to her side and taking her hand into mine. She looks so tired and like she was going to pass out any moment.
'Thank you' She whispers so quietly that I struggled even with my vampire hearing to be able to hear her.
'What for?' I ask her.
'For saving my life' She says before falling into unconsciousness.
'Anytime' I say even though she can't hear me.
'Edward we should take her back to the house and I can get her properly cleaned up and she can get some rest before we do anything else' He says packing up his bag.
'What about him?' I say with anger in my voice.
'Bella's our main concern right now. We will deal with him later but lets get Bella sorted and worry about him later' He says. Knowing he's right I pick Bella up gently in my arms and take her gently out to the car and lay her across the backseat before getting into the passenger side. Carlisle gets in the car and drives off as carefully as possible to not make her injuries any worse and to stop her from feeling anymore pain.
It takes longer than normal to get home with the slow driving. When we pull up I get out of the car and gently pick Bella up in my arms and Carry her in the house and lay her down carefully on the couch and kneel beside her why Carlisle sees to her injuries. I can't help but feel so guilty. We should of done something to stop this from happening. I am just happy she phoned me and we were able to save her from that vicious animal.
When Carlisle lifted her shirt up to examine her stomach I was furious. She had multiple large bruises in the shape of footprints and so many scars. I can't imagine the pain she must of been through and all I wanted to do right now was make him feel the pain she has endured for so many years. I wanted to break every single bone in his body, make his death long and painful. How could someone do this to another human being never mind his own daughter.
'Is she going to be okay?' I ask.
'Physically she will be fine Edward but she is going to need a lot of support. I can't even begin to imagine the things he has done to her and the thought it horrifies me but I promise Edward I will not let him harm her ever again. I don't know her well but I already consider her part of this family' Carlisle said.
'I love her Carlisle and I will protect her with my life' I vow. I will never let her get hurt again. I am going to be there for her every step of the way and I will never leave her side. I love her and want to spend the rest of my existence with this beautiful brave young woman.
'I can see how much you love her Edward. I am happy for you and I just know that Bella will bring a lot of happiness to both you and the rest of this family. She means a lot to us and we love her too' Carlisle said and I could see nothing but love in his eyes. I have never met a man with as much kindness and compassion than the man that I consider to be my father.
'Carlisle I just want you to know that I will be forever grateful for everything you have done for me over the years. I never did thank you for this second chance at life and I should of a long time ago so thank you. I now know that there was always a reason for me being alive and that's this incredible girl here' I say stroking her hair.
'You don't need to thank me son. You and the others are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You lot make me smile with true happiness and I love you all like my own daughters and sons' Carlisle said and I know if he could he would have tears falling down his cheeks as would I.
'Thank you Dad' I say.
'It's okay. Anyway I think we should get one of the girls to clean Bella up a little bit and then ill bandage her cuts and give her some more pain medication so she can get some rest' Carlisle said.
'I'll do it' Alice said coming into the room.
'Thank you Alice' I say picking Bella carefully in my arms and handing her over to Alice.
'No problem. I consider her a sister and I love her too' Alice says whilst heading towards the bathroom. Half an hour later Bella is cleaned up and Carlisle has finished cleaning all of her cuts and sorting out her other injuries. We now just have to let her get some rest and wait for her to wake up and I plan on staying with her the whole time. She is my life now.
