《You're the risk I'm willing to take》Chapter 32

I was woken up, the next morning, by Alice moving in her sleep.
She woke up, kissing me. We could hear Emmett laughing, and decided to get up. We left a little while after breakfast, getting home at around 1:45.
We cuddled on the couch, but I could see that Alice wasn't feeling well. I looked down at her, and she had her eyes closed. I nudged her and she looked up at me.
"You not feeling well?"
She shook her head, frowning.
"OK, come on. Lets go lay down."
We had gotten changed into some sweats, and we lay on the bed. Whenever she wasn't feeling well, laying down and getting some sleep helped. Sometimes music helped, but she told me she had a headache, so she took something for that and lay down next to me.
"Now, how's that?"
I was fussing, making sure she had everything she needed. She smiled, and told me to come closer.
"Yeah, baby, I'm OK. Now, can you please sit down?"
"OK."
I lay down next to her, and she cuddled into my side, laying her head on my shoulder.
"Comfy?"
She smiled, and I wrapped my arms around her.
"Yeah. Is this OK?"
"As long as you're comfortable, I'm OK."
She fell asleep a little while later, and moved a bit in her sleep. This wasn't unusual. Even when she wasn't feeling ill. But, when she started frowning, and muttering I started to worry.
She moved closer to me, muttering.
"Chase."
I needed to wake her up. She was quite close to me now, and I reached out, touching her shoulder. This woke her up, and she looked up at me.
"I just-"
"I know, it's OK. You're safe. It's just you and I, no one is going to hurt you."

She took a deep breath, running her hand through her hair.
She moved away a little, thinking.
"Bella, I-"
"No, pixie. You're safe here. I'm not going anywhere, it's OK."
She looked at me, and I wanted to move closer, but I was afraid that I would upset her.
"Bella, I just ................ I was going to ask you if you woke me or if I woke up?"
"I touched your shoulder, and you woke up. I heard you talking, and you were frowning and muttering, so I knew that I needed to wake you."
She looked away, and I could see that she was shaking a little.
She took a deep breath, and looked at me.
"Do you mind?"
I knew what she meant, and understood that being close to someone she trusted helped. I shook my head, and sat back.
"Of course not."
I had to see my dad the next day. He asked about Alice, and I could see that he was trying to accept this. She had a few things to do so she didn't come with me. I was worried about leaving her, after the previous day. But, she practically ordered me out.
"So, you're leaving soon?"
I nodded, there wasn't long left until we would be leaving.
"Yeah, in a few weeks."
He nodded, and I sat back on the couch. Angela and Lucy were out, so I hadn't gotten to see them. But, my dad said they should be back soon.
"And, I suppose you're going to be staying with Alice?"
I nodded, watching him.
"I will be. Dad, I-"
"It's OK, Bella. I was only wondering where you're going to be staying."
I nodded, and I looked down at my hands.
"Oh. I thought-"
"That I would try to stop you? Bella, you're already living with her. Did she say that I had a gotten you something for you, for leaving?"

I nodded, remembering what she had said to me.
"Yeah, she told me on the way to her parents."
Oops, I hadn't meant to say that.
"You met her parents? How'd that go? Well, you'd already met her dad."
"Yeah. It went pretty well. Yeah, I did. But, I got to met her mom, her sister and one of her brothers."
He nodded, smiling.
"Good. Hey, I wanna show you what I got you."
We stood up, and heard the door open. Lucy and Angela saw me, and I was puled into a hug. My dad smiled, watching us.
"OK, OK. I think Bella needs to be able to breathe. Come on."
They laughed and let go of me. My dad led us outside, and I noticed a silver Volvo that hadn't been there before. I looked at my dad, and he was watching me.
"Well, what do you think?"
I ................... This was for me?!
"Dad ................. This is for me?"
He laughed, and the other 2 smiled.
"I thought you'd want something better than that truck."
He had a point, I would need something.
"This is ...................... Thanks dad!"
I hugged him, surprising him, but he hugged me. I couldn't believe he done that for me!
"Well, I just wanted you to have something better than the truck."
I hugged him tighter, and stood back. He wasn't used to this, and looked down at me.
"Thank you, dad. This is .................... This is amazing."
I spotted a problem with this though.
"Dad, what about my truck?"
He shook his head, looking at said truck.
"Don't worry about that, just leave it here. Here."
He gave me the keys, and after hugging him, Lucy and Angela a few more time I had to leave. It was getting late.
"Hey, how's your dad?"
I kissed Alice, as I walked in. I still couldn't believe he'd done that for me!
"Um, did my dad tell you what he had gotten for me?"
Alice shook her head, looking at me. I sat down, and she sat next to me.
"No, he just asked me to tell you that he had something for you. Why?"
"He ................ He got me a new car."
Alice was shocked, and shook her head.
"I was wondering where your truck was. Is it that Volvo?"
I nodded, and she was happy about it.
"Yeah, it is."
We spent the night talking about New York.
