Story #2 for the night :) I might be crazy for लेखन all these tonight but what the heck!?
End of Chapter 16
She came over and sat अगला to me, leaning her head on my shoulder taking in a deep breath. I wrapped my arm around her and held her close.
"Bella. What are we going to do with you?" I asked as I hugged her.
"I don't know, I really have been trying my hardest." She कहा sadly.
"I believe you." I कहा as I reassured her again.
She took another deep breath, and closed her eyes. I was beginning to think she was falling asleep when she asked. "Does...Does he..." She had to take a deep breath, it's like she was choking on Edwards name.
"Does Edward know आप here?" She finally choked out.
"No." I कहा quickly. I wasn't sure that either of us wanted to have this conversation..but it was necessary. I was going to try not to hurt her any further.
Chapter 17
"He's not with Carlisle and Esme?" Bella asked in disbelief.
"He checks in every few months." I lied. I didn't want to tell her the truth, that we hadn't heard from him in a while. That no one had seen him since the night we all left.
"Oh." She कहा as her face fell.
I think she wanted to be told that we were all one big happy family still, like nothing had changed.
"You कहा आप flew here....Where did आप come from?" She asked as she changed the subject away from Edward.
"I was in Denali. Visiting Tanya's family." I said.
"Is Jasper here? Did he come with you?" Bella said, fear flashing across her face before she tried to hide it.
"He didn't approve of my interfering. We promised..." I कहा as I shook my head.
Just then I heard Charlie's SUV turning down the street. I knew I had to change the topic, and this seemed like the perfect way to distract her. "And आप think Carlie won't mind my being
here?" I asked.
"Charlie thinks you're wonderful, Alice." Bella admitted.
"Well, we're about to find out." I कहा as I looked at the door.
He was just pulling in the drive way, at that moment I wished I could read thoughts like Edward could. It would be so much easier to know what he was thinking, how his mood was. I took a deep breath as I heard Charlie trudge up the walk, his eyes on the ground, shoulders slumped.
Bella jumped off the सोफ़ा, सोफे and ran to the door to meet her father. I decided that I should just stay where I was, let her break the news to him. If he got to angry, I could slip out the back before he saw me.
I heard them talking about how Harry's family was doing, it sounded like everyone was having problems. He had died of a दिल attack, it was very sudden and no one was coping with hit very well. Charlie and Bella walked closer tot he living room when Charlie stopped and hugged Bella tight.
"Um, Dad? You'll never guess who's here." Bella कहा carefully.
Charlie looked around, he looked out the front door and spotted Carlisle's Mercedes parked across the street. The front light shining directly on it like a spot light. I heard him suck a deep breath in and decided I should reveal myself before he overreacts thinking it's Edward.
"Hi, Carlie." I कहा as I walked out of the living room and into the hall where they were standing. "I'm sorry I came at such a bad time." I apologized, my voice soft.
"Alice Cullen?" Carlie asked as he squinted to get a better view, as if he didn't believe what he was seeing. "Alice, is that you?"
"It's me. Ummm I was in the neighborhood." I कहा quickly as I smiled at him.
"Is Carlisle...." He asked as his sentence ended suddenly.
"No, I'm alone." I said, the sadness barely noticeable in my tone. I knew and I think Bella did too, that Charlie wasn't really asking about Carlisle. He was asking if Edward had come back, and to tell the truth that hurt.
"She can stay here, can't she?" She asked as Charlie wrapped his arm around her protectively. "I already kind of told her she could."
"Of course." Charlie कहा as he tried to smile at me. "We'd प्यार to have आप Alice." He reassured me.
"Thank आप Charlie. I know it's horrid timing."
"No it's fine, really. I'm going to be really busy doing what I can for Harry's family; it will be nice for Bella to have some company." He कहा as he looked from my face to Bella's and back.
"There's रात का खाना for आप on the तालिका, टेबल Dad." Bella said, she took such good care of him. He was very luck to have her, and I knew he would agree.
"Thanks Bell." He कहा as he squeezed her one और time before walking into the kitchen.
I went back to the couch, hearing Bella follow behind me. I reached my hand out to her and pulled her close to me.
"You look tired." I कहा as I examined her face.
"Yeah, near-death experiences do that to me...So, what does Carlisle think of आप being here?" She asked, probing for information.
"He doesn't know. He and Esme were on a hunting trip when I left. I'll hear from him in a few days when he gets back." I said.
"You won't tell him, though...when he checks in again." She asked.
I had to fight a smile, I knew she meant Edward from the first time she asked about the family. It was normal I would think for someone to ask about one they loved...if she still loved him that is.
"No. He'd bite my head off." I said, thinking how mad he would be.
Bella nodded once and yawned so hard her whole body moved. I looked at her as she smiled and placed her head on my shoulder, she took a few deep breaths in almost like she was taking in my smell before she sighed. A few moments later her breathing became और regular, obviously she had fallen asleep.
I started to move, to lay her down so she could sleep but when I did she woke up. She looked so scared, like she had लॉस्ट me.
"Shhh Bella, it's alright. I won't leave you, not tonight. Please sleep, I will stay." I कहा softly as I ran my hands through her hair.
She smiled and quickly fell back to sleep, Charlie walked द्वारा on his way to बिस्तर and smiled at me before walking up the stairs to his room. A few hours later I figured it was सुरक्षित to move, so I laid her down on the तकिया and covered her with the blanket before going to sit in the chair द्वारा the window.
