At the Deep End – Chapter 30

I’d never been more glad than I was today for the arrangements my dad had made so we could see Carmen. This past weekend had been very hard on Jasper, after his mom had stopped by to see the game last Saturday, only to make a quick exit.

Rose had ended up telling him a few things that he apparently hadn’t been aware of himself, and it had weighed heavily on his mind for the rest of the weekend. He’d been very quiet all of yesterday, and had sat for hours with his guitar in hand, mindlessly strumming it. It made me wonder if the guitar itself held any significance to him, or whether that was how he worked through things.

When he wasn’t sitting with his guitar, he’d snuggled with me on the couch, the TV on low for background noise, though neither of us had paid it any real attention.

“Hey, babe, would you grab the towels? They should be done by now. I’ve got everything else,” I called out, double-checking my bag to make sure I really did have everything I’d need. Today would be the first time I’d be able to play again.

It had been three weeks since the team had played a game, and though I’d started training again two weeks ago, I felt anxious. I didn’t know our opponents very well, and I didn’t feel I was quite back to my old self yet, so I was a little worried.

Worried, but determined.

“Come on, Felix! Go! Go! Go!”

“To Edward, to Edward! Yes!”

Loud cheers and thundering applause met my ears as I scored a goal, tying the score right at the whistle for half-time. I’d been vaguely aware of the guys on the side of the pool cheering us on, but it wasn’t something I focused on. For one, it was hard to hear over the water and the things that were going on around me. And for another, I could not afford to lose focus on what I was supposed to be doing.

I allowed myself a moment, though, as each team went to their respective side, to check who was there. Jasper and Bella were standing side-by-side in the front row, only slightly removed from the rest of the team because they weren’t able to play. They were both fully clothed, so sitting too close would’ve meant getting wet. I grinned at them.

I groaned as the alarm went off. I had no desire to get up — or for Edward to leave. Not after we’d finally come to an understanding last night. Hearing him talk to Emmett, how he feared that our loving each other might not be enough…it had scared me. I’d still been angry about what had taken place in the pool, in front of our teammates, no less, but to hear Edward’s fears spoken out loud like that was like being dunked in ice water.

I hadn’t known what to do, how to process everything I was feeling, so I’d clung to the anger. It seemed silly now — stupid, even. Then when we got home, I’d run for cover – equal parts pissed at myself, at Edward, and at everything that had happened.

And then Edward had started to play the piano. His music had drawn me out, because I could hear all of his frustrations in it — all of his fears. Fears that so closely mirrored my own. They tore at my heart, forcing me to try to reach out to him. I needed him so much. Continue reading

“Damn it…come on; change!” I yelled at the light that had turned red moments before I got to it. I was already running late thanks to work. Just as I’d feared, I hadn’t been able to get out in time to go to class – and as it stood now, I wasn’t going to be able to get there for training to start.

At least Bella was able to cover class for me. And Emmett’ll start the session if I don’t make it on time.

I ran my fingers through my hair in frustration. I really could do with a good work out after today. Hell, after the last couple of days – work some of the stress out.

Thankfully, the light changed, and I drove a little faster than I probably should have to the club. Luck seemed to be on my side as I found a place to park near the entrance. Grabbing my bag, I ran inside, showered, changed, and walked into the swimming hall. Bella came up to me with a worried expression.

I stared at the phone in my hands, wondering once again if I should try and call Momma or not. Edward had left for work an hour ago, after I assured him that I would be alright on my own. With a sigh, I tilted my head back against the couch, looking up at the ceiling as my mind wandered to the conversation Esme and I had the day before. I hadn’t been certain about having her in the house all day, but in the end I had been very grateful for her presence.

She hadn’t pushed me – too much anyway – and eventually we had sat down and talked about what had happened. I’d told her everything – from talking to Momma and asking if we could all get together with the intent to come out to them, to the week spent with Edward and how it had made me feel to be more open when we were out in public, to Bella’s party and then going to the club afterward.

“I’m fine, Edward!”

I pinched the bridge of my nose as Jasper threw his hands up in the air in exasperation – or rather, he tried and flinched, hugging his torso as his ribs protested. Rosalie and Emmett had stopped by earlier to check up on us. They’d left after we’d sat down and eaten lunch. Jasper had been putting on a brave face for all of us, claiming he felt fine and was going to be okay. He flat out refused to talk about their parents, though Rosalie had tried to coax him into a conversation about them.

He hadn’t let me help him get dressed, either, insisting on taking care of himself. That I could understand, in part at least. Because every time I saw his injuries, it felt like I had failed him somehow, and I knew I didn’t hide those feelings very well. His bruises were darker, angrier; he was stiff and sore even if he claimed the contrary – it was obvious in the way he moved his body. He was being stubborn in trying to show me that he was fine and could manage, that he was stronger than I thought he was. I guess he didn’t realize that I felt he was the strongest man I’d ever met.

I heard someone gasp, and I turned my head to see what was going on. The sight that met my eyes made my heart clench, and I froze in my seat.

Momma stood not two feet away from us, to our right and slightly behind our seats, with a hand clasped to her mouth, her eyes full of shock and sadness.

My gaze reluctantly went to the person right behind her. Dad. He stood – rigid – his hand on Momma’s shoulder, his jaw set and his eyes… I’d never seen him look like that before. The look in his eyes, the pure, unadulterated disgust…hatred? Not even the men who – not hours before – had tried to ‘teach me a lesson’ for being who I was had looked at me like that.

I was frozen in my seat and only vaguely aware of the people around me. I could feel Edward turn around to see what was going on, but other than that, all my attention was on my father. Why are they here? Why now? Oh, God…

I sat in silence, listening to Jasper as he told me what had happened to his friend. I wasn’t sure what to do or say, so I slowly pulled him to me and held him close. He rested his head on my shoulder and wrapped his arms tightly around me. I couldn’t even imagine going through something like that. I stroked his back, hoping it’d offer him some comfort. It had been quite the morning. Everything had started out just fine; we’d made love, and everything was good. Great, even.

And then everything changed, because of one stupid sandwich. I knew that memories could at times be triggered by inane things like that, but I was sorry to have caused him distress now, of all times. We were supposed to be meeting Rosalie and Emmett in – I glanced at the clock – about two hours. I wasn’t sure if he even wanted to go out anymore. I’m not sure I would have, if I’d been in his shoes.

I sighed softly and pressed my lips to his forehead. “Do you want me to call Emmett, see if he and Rosalie would mind rescheduling? We can just stay home, if you like?”

I stretched my arms out over my head and rolled my head, trying to get rid of the kinks in my neck. I’d been sitting on the couch, with my laptop on my legs, trying in vain to concentrate. I was still tired from getting up as early as we had. The late night before didn’t help matters either. I grinned to myself as I thought about making love with Edward. I put my head back against the couch and closed my eyes as I let my thoughts drift.

Last night had been amazing. When Edward had made love to me, I didn’t think anything could feel as good as that. I’d wanted him, as well, had fantasized about being with him that way. But no fantasy could compare, and if I were completely honest with myself, no past experience I’d had with any girl, could either. Not because it hadn’t been good, or anything like that. It just wasn’t the same.
