Chapter One: Going Back
EPOV
As I looked around at the dust ridden walls and dirt ground of the small house in South America somewhere, I knew it was time to go back. Whether or not she still wanted me I knew that I would have to try to win her back someway. It was time and the struggle that had been going on inside me for so long was finally gone, I knew one way or another I would be seeing my Bella in a few hours and after these months of torture that was practically nothing.
I made it to the airport in about ten minutes and got on the first flight to Washington I could, my cell phone ringing the entire time, but I knew it would just be Alice calling because she knew what I was going to do and I didn't need to hear her I told you so's, they were too annoying. I laughed, I was giddy, though hard to imagine me giddy, I was. To see my Bella, at least I hoped I could still call her that.
These past six months had been total torture, the terrible job I had done of tracking Victoria had done nothing to distract my mind from thoughts of her, she was always on my mind—no distractions of any kind could ever change that, I didn't even have sleep. I wondered how she fared, Alice might have known, but I hadn't seen her since we left Forks, it was just too hard to be around them when they all had someone and I simply didn't.
The flight was too long, my anticipation had made it almost unbearable and I had to cut off my phone after I got about fifteen missed calls, I didn't care what anyone had to say I just wanted to get to Bella.
I was lost in thoughts of her when I realized I was now sitting outside of her house. I quickly got out of the car I must have stolen and walked to the front door when I smelt the dog. A werewolf was in the house with her! And Alice? Was Alice her too?
I quickly went in forgetting for a moment the circumstances and ran into Bella in the dogs arms. I growled when Alice spoke, "I told you he was coming." She knew? That was why she was calling but why was she here. All this was put aside though when I saw Bella looking at me.
"Edward? Is that really you?" she said meekly.
I nodded and whispered "I'm so so sorry Bella, I never should have left, and its terrible of me to ask this of you but I hope you'll give me a chance to try to make it up to you." God and did I, I knew I couldn't leave her again unless she wanted me to, but I desperately hoped she didn't. The next thing I knew she had jumped out of that dog's arms and was throwing herself into mine.
