Charlie's

Chapter 27

BPOV

By the time we had finished eating me and Alice were chatting shit and occasionally his bitchy sister would join in. I wasn't entirely sure what was going on with her, she reminded me of a prissy princess, get's everything she wants handed to her on a plate, and if she don't get it, she goes crying to daddy even though she has a husband at home...and she does I found out from Alice she's married to Emmett...all I can say is poor fucking guy having to put up with that shit, how he's managed not to smother her with a pillow yet...

When I heard Edward shouting on the phone, he looked as white as a ghost, no one was asking him what the matter was they all just sat there watching like he was in a fucking freak show, So I made my way over and tried to calm him down, I didn't know who he was talking to I just had a felling he needed me and judging my how hard he was squeezing my hand I'd sat I was right.

"When you say...Ma and pop's are gone..." My breath hitched as I watched his face fall, it was paler than before. He wasn't talking, he just had the phone held to his ear in a state of shock. I took the phone from his hand, He didn't stop me I don't think he could have, even if he wanted to. I put the phone to my ear.

"He'll call you back in a minute" I said in a shaky voice and hung up..I put my hands on both of Edwards cheeks and made him look at me "Baby?" I whispered I wasn't sure he could hear me, but I knew he did when I saw his eye's lock with him. Nearly broke my fucking heart when I saw them fill with tears. "Angela take a bottle of Jack to my office and hold the bar will ya" I shouted as I jumped over the bar "Come on baby" I said to him as I pulled him from the stool towards my office. I jerked my head for the others to follow. "Dimples, grab some chairs"

I Unlocked the door and led Edward to my seat behind my desk, I didn't start speaking I wanted to give him a few minutes to get his thoughts together. The others made their way in and sat down, Alice was on Jasper's lap, Emmett had his hand slung over Rosalie's shoulder she was all but crushed to his chest. Just as I was gonna speak there was a knock on the door, I knew Edward wouldn't want people to see him like this so I went to the door and opened it a crack.

"Here, I grabbed some glasses and ice too" Angela said.

"Cheers chick" I whispered, I closed the door as she walked away and set the stuff on the table, I made Edward a Jack on the rocks and took it to him, I didn't make anyone else's they weren't important right at this second he was. "Get your own" I said as I made my way around the desk to him, I sat on his lap and forced the glass into his shaking hands and brought it to his lips.."Here, drink this, It will make you feel a little better" I said.

When he finally opened his mouth, it took a second before he started to gulp it down like it was his life line, I wasn't gonna stop him it looked like he needed it. I put my arms around his neck and squeezed him tight before I whispered in his ear..."What happened baby"

I felt him stiffen in my arms and pulled me to him, the strength he was using hurt, but I knew he needed it so I didn't say anything. "Their gone Bella" I almost didn't hear him, I think that was because I was so close to him. He looked up at me and the look on his face reminded me of a lost little boy. I didn't have a clue what to say to him, I wanted to say sorry, but I fucking hated it when people said that to me at my father's funeral, so I did the only thing I could do, I squeezed the fuck out of him and buried my head in the crook of his neck as I ran my finger through his hair. I knew when It finally started to sink in because he starting shaking with silent sobs that broke my fucking heart.

I knew what he was going through because I went through it, but he had just lost both parents at the same time how the fuck to you recover from that? "Let it go baby, I'm here" I said, there wasn't much for me to say that would make the slightest bit of difference at the moment so I didn't bother. I pulled my head from his neck and looked at the others, they were just sat there looking somber. I looked over at Emmett, he was holding Rosalie in a death grip, I didn't look like it mattered to her though, I caught Emmett's eyes and watched him shake his head, I knew what he was asking he wanted to know if it was true. I could feel my eyes fill with tears as I slowly nodded my head.
