Broken Lies

Katherine Swan's POV

Bella and I were now in Carlisle's office as he started taking the pieces of glass out of Bella's arm. I told him to take care of Bella first.

Even if my injuries were worse, I refused to let him help me unless he helped Bella first.

"Well, I really know how to clear a party." Bella says.

"It's not your fault. Jasper hasn't been away from human blood as long as the rest of us." Carlisle says, taking the pieces of glass out of her arm.

"How do you do it?" Bella asks, asking my unasked question.

"Years and years of practice." Carlisle says.

"Did you ever think of just doing it the easy way?" Bella asks.

"No. I knew who I wanted to be. I wanted to help people. It brings me happiness. Even if I am damned regardless." Carlisle says, hiding his emotions.

"Damned? Like hell?" Bella asks.

Carlisle gave her a look.

"Carlisle, you couldn't be damned." I say, finally speaking in I don't know how long.

"It's impossible." Bella says.

"Thank you, girls. You've both been very... gracious towards us." Carlisle says.

I kinda just zoned out until I heard...

"So that's it... that's why he won't change me?" Bella asks.

Jasper had told me that Bella has been wanting Edward to turn her into a vampire for a while now and honestly, it's good and bad in my opinion.

She won't see her friends or family if she turns. But she will be with Edward and The Cullens forever.

"Imagine the situation in reverse. If you believed as Edward does, could you take away his soul?" Carlisle asked her.

Bella was left speechless. Then he came to me.

"Aright, Kat. Your turn." Carlisle says and I chuckle.

He lifts me onto his desk then starts taking the glass out of my face.

"If you don't mind me asking... have you and Jasper talked about how you're gonna work this whole human/vampire thing out?" he asks.

"He told me that it was my choice and he'd support me no matter what I chose... I wanna be with him. But I also want to grow and have kids and marry someone... but I want that to be Jasper. But he can't have kids. I'm not mad or anything... If anything, I feel bad. Jasper told me he always wanted a big family. My head is saying to live my life as a human and let you all go. But my heart is saying to turn and live with the love of my life and my new family. You're all amazing. I think of Alice and Rosalie as my sisters. I see Edward and Emmett as my big brothers. I view Esme as my second mother... and I see you as my second father. I feel closest to you out of everyone in the family. I could come up to you and hug you for no reason and you won't as questions. I can ask you a thousand questions and you'll answer them with no problem. I can talk to you about my problems and I can come to you for anything at all, really. You're like... my father and my best friend into one." I say.

"If I could cry, I'd be crying a waterfall right now of happiness." He says.

I chuckle as he stitches my hand.
