After I walk back into the small space, I go over and collapse into the chair heavily, feeling the day's events finally sink-in.

I was a few miles away from the place I once called home, and I didn't know if I was ready to face those demons yet. I had to though, innocent people's lives were at stake here. I couldn't let someone die just because I wasn't ready to face my harsh past. I had to do it, for Seth and his family, along with Logan.

Somehow knowing that if I faced those demons, they might live happily, made me relax and feel better about the situation.

I just hoped that while saving those people I didn't lose myself in the process.

Edward's POV:

Fuck! Aro warned me to be extra careful, and since I was dumb enough my to need his warning, we now have a tail!

It's a good thing I destroyed the burn phones I had used earlier. Now, we only need to get to the tribe before we were found once again. I might as well turn off the navigation system the fucking boat had included.

"Shit!" I groaned, as I moved to get up.

That's how they were tracking us!

I hastily got out of the bed and rushed up the stairs towards the control room.

I found Bella sitting in one of the chairs in a trance. Quickly heading towards the system and shutting it off.

"Bella..." I said, quietly shaking her.

She looked slightly pale, with a light sheen of sweat on her forehead.

'What's wrong with her?' I think, as I hastily walk to her.

I checked to make sure she wasn't hurt, before I grabbed her and pulled her into my arms.

As soon as I have her in my arms, I can feel as she begins to tremble, and lets out a small whimper as she buries her face into my chest.

My first reaction is to step back so I can see her face but she clings harder to me, causing my arms to tighten around her in hope that she'll calm down.

"Bella. Bella, what's wrong, love?" I whisper, as she slowly calms down.

"So many faces. I keep seeing so many faces. Make it stop. Please." She whispers, tearfully.

I stand there, feeling stunned and unsure of what to do.

"Come with me." I whisper after a moment.

She sniffles before taking my hand and letting me lead her back towards the galley.

Once there, I lead her to the bed and push her there before turning and heading back towards one of the corners where I know Aro has a small bar set up in one of the cabinets.

I quickly pull out one of the glasses and serve her a Coke and rum before grabbing my own glass and pouring some whiskey in it, before heading back and handing her the Coke and rum.

She looks at it disgusted before grabbing my whiskey and gulping down half of it.

"What the hell? That was mine!" I complained.

"I don't like rum." She dryly states before downing the rest of my whiskey.

I wrinkle my nose at her, before gulping her drink down and smile when I see her giggle.

"Feeling better?" I asked her.

"A little." She says, snatching the glass from my hands and downing the rest of it. "Now, I do." She says, giving me both glasses.

I scoff at her, before placing the glasses on the small table in the corner and head back to the bed.

"How's the shoulder feeling?" She asked, looking worried for a second.

"Sore." I respond, smiling at the goofy expression that's now on her face. "Have you ever tried alcohol before?" I asked, carefully.

"Surprisingly, no. Nothing besides wine, I mean…woah, this one hits you quicker. Wine sort of sneaks up on you..." She said, her eyes widening, then giggling happily.

Fuck! Why didn't I ask her before giving her something?! Fucking shit, now what do I do?

As if she could read my mind, she smirked at me and got up, heading back to where the alcohol has always been stashed, grabbing the bottle and glasses before coming back to her spot and sitting down contently. "Relax, we're both adults, what's the worst that could happen?" She asked, serving us both a glass of scotch.

Words I'd come to regret the next morning when we both woke up with a splitting headache and in bed together, buck-ass nude.

Bella's PoV:

Oh, my head!

For once in my life, I was happy to forget about everything and not worry about tomorrow.

Despite the slight throb on my temples, I was feeling comfortable on the mattress.

Tired...but comfortable.

"Aw. Fuck." I heard a masculine voice groan next to me.

I frowned, unwilling for a moment to open my eyes but knew I had to, knowing it was morning.

I sighed, knowing that I'd never go back to sleep now. Stupid biological clock!

"Ow! Fuck. Do we have any painkillers?" I heard him ask.

I opened my eyes only to shut them again, and wincing away from the light. Oh god, it felt as if my eyeballs were about to explode.

"Of course, I— ow! Do…" I groaned as I tried to sit up. Soreness radiating from muscles in my body I didn't know I had.

"Where?" He asked, pained.

"L-left pocket in the bottom, front." I groaned, finally pushing myself into a sitting position.

He was searching through the front pockets of my massive backpack, looking like shit. Somehow, still making a pair of black boxer shorts look absolutely mouthwatering.

I can't help but marvel at the tattoos on his arm and back, I think I am drooling a little as I watched him straighten up.

"Here." He mumbles, as he grabs two water bottles and from the small fridge before he unsteadily made his way towards me.

"Thank you…" I whispered, as we both threw two pills into our mouths before we guzzled down the water.

He gives me a small smile in return, wincing when he shrugs his shoulders, before wincing in pain.

"Does it hurt?" I asked, standing up to check his shoulder.

I noticed the bandages had loosened, and the wound was slightly bleeding again.

I quickly went to my bag and pulled out new gauze and a fresh bandage before quickly heading back to my place.

"No…" He groaned, when I replaced the gauzes and bandages.

"Sure, it doesn't." I teased, as I finished wrapping his shoulder

He was about to respond when the boat suddenly shifted causing me to begin to fall forward, causing him to wrap his hands around my waist to steady me.

"Something is wrong…" he whispered, as we both looked towards the stairs.
