“Bella, baby, tell me what’s going
on?”
He was trying desperately to mask his
concern but was failing miserably. Seeing Bella distressed caused a great deal
of anxiety for him. It was never something he handled well. He tried to think about what could have happened in such a
short amount of time. He remembered her phone going off like crazy as he
stepped out of the room and wondered if she had gotten a phone call. Some sort
of bad news. He gently ran his hand up and down her back.
“Did someone call?”
She nodded and tried to bury herself
inside him.
“Is everyone okay?”
She shook her head and Edward froze.
Panic and fear enveloped him. Scenarios related to something terrible happening
to the people he loved immediately flooded his mind. Had something happened to Grans or possibly Carlisle or Esme? Had Jasper or Alice been injured or even worse little Ellie? He wondered how quickly they could get to Ireland if that were the case. His brow furrowed as he worried about the Whitlock’s and even Seth. He had been doing so well. Had he succumbed to temptation? Edward couldn't take it anymore. His mind was his worst enemy at the moment. He pulled
back from her and held her face in his hands. Her eyes were red and tears were
still running down her cheeks.
