"I love these chocolates!" Carlie said. I was back from the business trip from London and they were going through the things I got for them.
"I love these ones!" Ness said, "Mom... Here is your favorite Hot cocoa!"
"Ummm... I don't like it anymore," Bella said.
What? It was her favorite!
"Isn't it your favorite?" she said.
"My taste changed..." she said while shooting a glance at me.
I shook my head.
Would we ever be able to move on?
I was never going to win her trust back.
Why the fuck was I thinking about it right now? My brain had no fucking business remembering that right now.
I was kissing her, and I should be focusing on that!
Shouldn't I be happy that there was a real chance we could actually make this marriage work?
This was exactly what I wanted, right? My sole mission in the last seven years was to gain her trust back and save our marriage, and now here we were, and that didn't seem to be enough for me!
And... Didn't I just give her the lecture that we needed to focus on the future?
It made perfect sense on paper, but it was really, really difficult to implement!
"I understand that you need time..." Her voice interrupted my thoughts. I didn't even realize I had stopped kissing her.
"Ummm... Yeah... I'm sorry." I said. I was pretty sure I had hurt her.
"I understand." she said. She looked... sad and disappointed.
I sighed.
Why the fuck was I not able to control my thoughts? I was so mad at myself!
"You should get some sleep," she said.
"Ummm... Yeah... You should also get some." I said.
And that's when we heard the knocks on the door.
"Who is it at this time?" Bella said with confusion.
"Girls?" I said.
"I don't think so..." she said as she walked towards the door and opened it.
"Alice?" she said.
"Edward... Bella..." she said. She seemed very anxious and disturbed.
"What's wrong?" I said.
"What's wrong, Alice?" Bella asked.
"Mom..." she said, "Mom..."
"What's wrong with Mom?" I said.
"She... She's not responding," she said, "I was talking to her, and then she collapsed... And she..."
What?
"Did you call the emergency?" I said as I started walking outside of the door. Bella closed the door and followed us.
"I don't know what to do... I'm just... not able to think of anything... But Rose called them... I..." she said.
"Is Dad there? Did you call anyone else?" I said.
"Yeah... Dad is there... But he's also in shock..." she said, "I don't know... Rose asked me to call you and I just... ran here and I... I hope she is going to be okay..." she said as the tears started rolling down her cheeks.
"Oh Alice..." Bella wrapped her arm around her, "She is going to be fine."
Yeah, I hoped so.
My mind was running so fast.
"Who are you calling?" she said.
"Rose." I said, "She's not picking up."
"I don't know... I'm so scared..." she said.
"She will be fine." she said.
Yeah, she would be.
Nothing was gonna happen to her.
I rushed inside their room as soon as we reached there.
And... To my shock, I found Mom chatting happily with Rosalie and Dad!
What the fuck?
I was pretty sure Bella's expressions were mirroring mine.
"See? He is here. He loves you, Mom!" Alice smiled.
What?
"Mom was just feeling sad because of your fight. She said you don't love her, and I was like, I can prove it that you love her! And see!" She said proudly.
