Forever And Always

Chapter 28

Bella P.O.V

It's been a really long while since I last sat on the porch of my old home. This place where I used to call home and that now it feels so different from what it used to, the loving, warm, welcoming is gone as well as the memories of good times I spent here with my family.

Now, was the time I needed to be alone the most, I needed to think. I sighed, rocking on the chair back and forth, letting the cool air softly caress my face. I left Bruno with my mother who left to the store to get more diapers and wipes. Edward left to see Jacob who wanted to ask some questions about the day I had the operation.

I rocked back and forth on my chair, ignoring the squeaking sound that it made. I hummed the lullaby Edward wrote me shortly after the long moment of silence. I just wanted him back here with me, I needed him. I couldn't believe that my own father left Tanya hurt me so much, am I not his first priority or what? I would never, ever, do that to my children, this is the worst feeling that I anyone could feel.

The sound of the car parking and a door being closed stops my humming. I keep rocking, looking off at space until the steps were getting slower and closer to the porch.

"Got everything you needed?" I asked, rocking on the chair.

No answer.

"Mom?"

No answer.

"Mom!" I stopped my chair, and slowly sat up. "Mom?" I called again but no one answered. My blood started rushing up my face, my heart started pounding really hard and my palms started to sweat. "You're not my mother are you?"

"No," she said, "try again."

"HE- AH!" I yelled when Tanya grabbed my hair and pulled my up to my feet. My back hit against her chest, and the knife was placed on my neck.

"You ruined my life!" She snapped, pressing the knife on my neck.

"Let go of me, Tanya!" I snapped, raising my hand up, grabbing her hair. "Let of me!"

"Shut up!"

"Fuck!" A cried when a sharp pain struck my neck and immediately started to burn. I dropped to the ground, but expecting the porch, I landed on grass.

Not knowing what direction I'm going, I start crawling away from her, hopefully.

"Aw, you want to leave?" Her voice came closer, "why? The party is only getting srarted."

Her foot impacted my stomach, kicking all the air out. I landed on concrete, hard on my face. Warm liquid started coming out of my nose. I tried to craw further but her foot stepped on my back, holding me against the hard floor. I'm begging that I'm not on the street, she could easily leave me here and I'll die, I know.

"Now, where is your precious Edward? Where's the remarkable Bella that got through her accident when she was twelve and ended up blind? Trust me, honey, we're not that different. We're exactly the same."

I sit out blood and growl, "I am nothing like you."

She pulled my hair back, resting the knife back on my neck. Suddenly there's a loud bang.

"Bella!" Edward yelled.

"Edward!" I yell, suddenly my face hits the ground. Tanya runs.

I can barely stand up, but I don't know where I am, I take steps clumsily, looking for Edward. I'm lost in my own darkness. Then, there's a loud motor groan, so loud I cover my ears.

"No!" I hear Edward yell again, this time closer. Next thing I know, I hit the floor and a fast breeze hits me.

"Chase her!" Jacob yells from somewhere around here.

There's groaning, that I instantly recognize as Edward's. Where is he?

"Edward? Edward, where are you?" I craw on the hard ground, towards the sound of his voice. I finally touch his shoe, so I craw faster up until I finally touch his face. "Oh, my God, Edward, what happened?" I cried.

"You're... okay?" He asked me, his voice fading away.

"A little sore, but what happened? Are you okay?" I cried, cupping his face between my hands. There's hot liquid around his face, blood?

"She... kind of ran over me," he groaned again, "fuck... I can't feel my body."

"No, no, no," I cried, "someone please help me! Please!" I placed on his chest, it's elevating really slowly, what does that mean? But, I do notice his heart beat is low, that's not a good sign. "Edward, you stay here with me," I said, grabbing his face tighter between my hands. Tears start pouring down my cheeks. "Don't you dare leave me, Edward Cullen! Don't you dare, please. Please, don't leave me, please!"

I place my forehead on his, his heavy breathing hits against my face. I feel warm liquid on the corner of his eyes, is he crying?

"You're strong," I cry, "you'll get through this, Edward, please don't leave me."

"I'm... I'm... cold, Bella," he mumbled, his body started to shake under me. "I'm... really, really cold."

I cry, sitting down next to him, pulling him up against my chest. I hold him there, crying, begging him not to leave me. He holds me back, his breathing becoming more heavier, his body shaking with no stop.

"I... I... love you," he whispered against my neck.

I cried, shaking my head.

"Please... Please, tell me you love me," he said, holding me tighter. "Please."

"I'm not saying goodbye, Edward, you're not leaving me," I cried.

"Please," he begged.

I shake my head, again.

"Please, Bella," he begged, again.

As stubborn as I am, I shook my head again. Probably, the worst thing I ever done because right that second he stood still. He wasn't breathing, he wasn't shaking nor he was talking.

"Edward?"
