...
My cloths clangs to my body soaking in sweat and tears it's been half an hour and I am still not even close to the right answer. My whole body is in pain
"Please…. I don't know, what got you so mad."
"Then you will stay like that." He answered me without even taking his eyes off the broacher.
"Please I am going to fall any second. I don't want you to throw me out. Please I will do whatever you want. I am sorry."
He sighs and put the broacher down.
"You can relax now."
I fall to my knee in relief and put my back on wall for support, my eyes closed as pain leaves my body slowly. When I open my eyes I saw him seating on couch with his head on his hands. His eyes are red like he was crying behind those broachers instead of reading them. He looks like he aged years in this half hour. When he saw me staring him he came and knelt beside me.
"I will tell you the right answer and you will promise me not to repeat that. Do you understand what I am saying?"
"Yes I understand and I promise you whatever you want but please don't put me in school."
"You got punished because you called your self whore, you hurt your self and most important you didn't share your feelings with me or Sue or anyone. It's the same thing that happened when James blackmailed you and you lied. If you share your feelings none of this would happen. I told you so many times you need to communicate, use your phone, message me if can't talk to me, I am not mind reader I don't know what's bothering you. If for any reason I scare you, talk to Sue, she will communicate it to me or help you by her self if you don't want her to share your thoughts with me but you have to share. Did I make my self clear?" I didn't miss the fact he didn't said anything about school
"I am sorry I won't do it again."
"Good because next time I won't go easy on you."
Without anymore word he took me up in his arms and we left my room. He called Sue in the way to his room and put me in his bed.
"Rest here Sue will come and help you clean up, eat something and have lots of water. I will be back in few minutes I need to talk to Emmett then we will talk. Ok?" I completely forgot about Emmett.
"Can I go and apologize to him; I didn't mean to cause him trouble."
"Later, you will have enough time with him for that. Right now take some rest." And the meaning of his words hit me hard.
"You are still going to put me in school?"
He left room without even a word. When Sue came in with food and water, I was done with tears but as she hugged me I lost control again, I just keep apologizing to her through my tear.
"Bella love its ok, I am not mad at you anymore." She pulled me from her arms and wipes my tears. "Stop crying love it's not good for health."
"How can you forgive me Sue?"
"I forgive you because he told me what you are going through, how hard it's for you to get back to normal life. I was mad at you because you hurt him but if he understands you I should too." She paused and took my face in her hands. "You can hate him all you want but he is very nice person. Do you know he left half a million dollar deal just because Emmett called and told him you locked your self in bathroom? "
"Oh my god I am really sorry Sue I don't know what came over me, why I did this, I hurt you, I hurt him, I am awful person."
"You are a nice person Bella. You just don't know how to handle your self."
"What you mean? I don't care about my self? I didn't hurt my self intentionally Sue. I am not suicidal."
"That's not what I mean love. Look here" She took the jag from table and started pouring water in glass but she didn't stop even after glass filled.
"Stop you are spilling water Sue."
"Why it's spilling Bella?" I didn't understand her. She is head of the kitchen and filling a glass with water is very small in compare.
"The glass is full don't you see."
"Its same with your heart love if you continue fill your self with all the emotions you feel it will start spill out one day and that's what happened. You have no control over it and just like I made mess on this table you did mess things up. But.." she took the filled glass and pour its water in other glasses. "If we share, little bit with every one we will be able to take more."
I was stunned at her performance, she is amazing. How easily she solved life's problem.
"I am such a stupid girl"
"What's wrong sweetie"
"He told me same thing so many times and it doesn't get under my thick skull. Thank you so much Sue."
"Your welcome sweetie, now let's get you cleaned."
Sue left the room when she is convinced I am not going to cry anymore. She told me to finish the water by the night so I won't get dehydration from all my crying. After half an hour of thinking I came up with thing that can help me redeem my self and that is school. I will go to school. I have to. He lost millions of dollar just because of my stupidity; going to school is very small in compare to that.
I took the writing pad from his bed side stand and started writing.
'I am sorry. I know words can't undo my mistake but you said to share my feelings to you so I want you to know that I am truly sorry. I didn't mean to cause trouble and make you lose millions of dollars. I wish I can go back to change my behavior but I can't. The only way I feel to make things little bit better is by going to school. I will go to school, without any fuss or drama. I promise. I hope you forgive me.'
Bella.
As I folded paper, I saw him standing on the door.
"Can I come in?"
"I…It's ..your room."
"Yes but you are doing something, which seems kind of private to me."
"Oh no i…it's for you."
He looked surprised as he come inside and took paper from me.
"Wow thank you." His face shows his happiness like some child got the Christmas present. As he started to open the paper I lost my nerve.
"NO…" He startled by my reaction "I….umm" before I can form a proper sentence he asked politely
"This isn't for me?"
"No. its …it's for you but…"
"You don't want me to open it now."
I just nodded but his face fall and he pursed his lips.
"Ok." I didn't miss his sad tone or how reluctantly he put it in his pocket.
"You didn't eat much."
"I wasn't hungry"
"You need lots of energy if you want to keep that hobby of your." My confused look made him smile "Crying" His teasing hit my heart. I looked down at floor and only response I think was more apologies. He exhales loudly as I apologized. He got on his knees in front of me.
"I didn't mean to upset you, I just….i want you to know it's not good for health. I know people cry when they are sad or angry or frustrated but you hold all three and then cry. You are cried for two hours today, it's not good. I am not going to push you for this because I know that's the only way you put your feelings out of your system but I am going to push you to share your feelings so this won't happen again." I don't know how to respond it. He didn't say anything for log time then he took my hand and pulled me up.
"Come I want to show you something."
He took me to my room where Sue, Angela, Jessica are working in bathroom and Eleazar standing on door. There are two buckets filled with broken glasses on the corner of the bathroom door. Angela and Jessica picking glasses with gloved hands and Sue is vacuuming walls, towels and toiletry. Guilt chocked my throat by looking at them.
"I..i …Let me help you."
My steps came to halt as Mas.. Edward put his hand on my stomach. I look up and he shakes his head.
"But…..i…I did this. I should clean this."
"No."
"Pleasee…"
"No, let go" he turned me toward the door.
"I am sorry." I said to them on the way to door.
Jessica's twisted mouth shows that my apology is not accepted but Angela and Sue said its ok and smiled too.
As we reach his room I am again fighting tears. I just want to burst and cry for weeks.
"Do you want to say something." He asked as he sits on couch.
"That's not fair. You took me there, show me they are working because of my stupidity and then you won't let me help them."
"Look at your hands, it's full of bandages, you cried too much and didn't even eat properly. You won't be able to help."
"I can, I will wear gloves, I will eat all food please…let me help them."
"No, Sue won't let you."
"Then why you took me there?"
"I wanted you to see how much they love you. Angela and Jessica had to go shopping for there homecoming queen contest and Sue have a meeting with her tribe but they didn't just because they wanted to help."
"It's not fair, you shouldn't do this to them"
"I didn't tell them to stay Bella, I don't handle household problems."
"I am horrible person, you all should hate me." I lost the fight with my tears and now I feel angry on myself "Why I am crying. I am just keep crying and…"
"It's ok. Its ok love." He came to me and took me in his arms.
"No. it's not ok. I hate my self." I push his arms off. "I don't deserve any of you. You should throw me out. You should…" He hugged me again this time his arms became a cage, I struggled but it's useless.
"Stop fighting me Bella." At his words all the fight left my body as the adrenaline leaves my system my breath become shallow gasps like I am stopping a storm inside me. "Cry, cry love, you need to cry now." And his words open the flood gates. A scream tore from my throat that vibrated my soul. His arms tightened around me and my hands fisted his shirt behind his back.
I don't know how long I cried but I know he picked me up as my knee gave out. I feel like I am drunk. Even as he laid me on bed, holding me in his arms, I feel like floating, everything feels hazy, unreal, like a bad dream. His hand his holding my head to his chest and his lips toughing my hair in every few minute.
"She is fine now, you can go, and you all need rest."
I have no idea who else is in the room or when they came. I have no interest in knowing either.
"Sir…."
"Yes. Thank you, Sue."
I don't know what they are talking about but soon he pulls away from me and put a straw on my lips.
"Drink." But I am in too much haze to care about his order. I hide in his chest again.
"No. you have to drink this love." He pulled again and holds my head steady this time.
"Please just one sip Bella." His low hopeless voice pierced my heart. I pull a sip and that's all I needed. My dry throat filled with soothing drink and I pulled harder, its just water and glucose but its haven. When I am done glass is half empty.
"Thank you" His voice is changed a little like my glucose is given energy to him.
"Put the lights off Sue."
"Sir you also need some rest, I will look after her."
"No I am not leaving her side"
I closed my heavy eyelids as lights turned off.
