Watching Bella walk out that door was harder than I
anticipated. I collapsed onto the couch, curling up in the fetal position as
Carlisle sat in front of me on the overstuffed chair. “She’ll be back, son.”
“My … need for her
is not normal, Carlisle,” I said. “I shouldn’t be this attached.”
“She showed you kindness. You latched on and you feel safe
with her, like she’ll protect you. Knowing Bella, she will,” Carlisle chuckled.
“She shouldn’t have protect me. I should be protecting her,”
I growled. Looking down at my frail, broken body, I wasn’t in any shape to
protect anyone. “She’ll be okay with Detective McCarty, right?”
“Emmett is one of the best officers in the force, Edward.
He’ll protect her. Plus, they’re going to the courthouse, which is protected
beyond recognition, with metal detectors and armed guards all throughout the
complex. If Esme tried to get through, she would be stopped,” Carlisle
explained.
“Okay,” I whispered.
“Now, I spoke with Dr. Banner. He told me that Dr. Benson
will be here in an hour or so. She’s well-known around the Pacific Northwest
for her treatment of victims of abuse, sexual, emotional and physical abuse and
assault victims. She specializes in it,” Carlisle said. “She used to work for
the FBI as a profiler, but couldn’t do it anymore, wanting to focus on helping
the survivors of these crimes.”
“What does she look like?” I asked.
“She’s tall, a little shorter than me, with dark hair and
dark eyes. I’ve seen her on the witness stand for various cases,” Carlisle said.
“Now, Bella got you some clothes since she assumed that you probably didn’t
have anything. Some of it is her ex-husband’s and the rest she got herself.”
“I don’t know how I’m going to pay her back,” I frowned.
“You’re not. She’s doing this because she loves you,” Carlisle said, offering me a hand.
Dr. Marina Benson
