Hope you like it!
"You have to choose Bella, it's me or him." I could tell by Edward's tone that he wasn't going to take another 'I love the both of you so I can't choose' for an answer.
" The truth is. I love _..."
-4 months earlier-
I had just moved back to my hometown, a little city by the name of Forks. I was both excited to see my old friends after all the years and terrified to start high school in the middle of the year at an advanced level.
"Bells, you have nothing to worry about. Just be yourself," my father Charles encouraged me. I knew he was lying. Ever since the remarry, to that horrid rich witch, my father hasn't been the same. It was as if all of his worries went away and landed onto me.
I pushed that thought to the back of my mind and walked to my new car that well guess who bought me. I hope she knows that she can't buy my happiness. I had to decide on whom to see first... Jake or Alice? Hmm. I have to see Jake or he will throw a fit but Alice might kill me too. Jake it is.
As I pulled into the Black's driveway I started to laugh at the sight of Jake being run over by his father in his wheelchair.
"Bella? Is, is that you? Bella I can't believe your back!" Jake ran at me and nearly tackled me to the ground with a bear hug. At first I thought of it as nothing more than a hug but as he loosened a bit it felt more powerful. It has to be nothing; I though as I let go from the embrace.
"How long are you in town for?" Jake asked curiously.
"Well, until we decide to move again, so I guess a while. We want to stay at least until I graduate." I was really hoping this would be the minimal deal. Since kindergarten I have moved 13 times. Sometimes just to a new house other times to a new city. I spent most of my life in forks. I was born here and I left towards the end of kindergarten, when my mom was transferred. Since the divorce I think my dad and I might be able to now stay in one place for a while might.
I looked at the time. 3:30. In an hour and a half I would have to stop at Alice's and get home in time for dinner.
" Hey Jake I have to get going, but it was really, really nice to see you we should plan something for the weekend or when I'm done packing!" I was really hoping he would take me up on my offer.
" Ya, it was great to see you to and we totally need to plan a lunch just the two of us to you know catch up." And with that I was gone and on my way to see Alice.
When I arrived at Alice's there were at least two more cars then I remembered. Hmm well one must be Alice's but to whom would the second belong to?
I walked up to the door and rung the bell of the familiar house I spent many days at. Alice and I have been friends since we were at least 1. Unlike other friends Alice, Jake and I still had a strong friendship that I didn't want to lose I thought of them both as a brother or sister, something I never had being an only child. When the door opened I was attacked by two arms before I could let a word out of my mouth.
" BELLA HOW DARE YOU COME BACK WITH OUT TELLING ME!"
I felt the tears coming. "Alice I missed you sooo much," at that we both laughed and cried with happiness. After our little session we made our way inside to be met by an H.O.T.T (Handsome over the top). When he walked into the bathroom I grabbed Alice's arm with a deadly grasp.
" Do you mind telling me who that is?"
" First owwww! And that is my cousin Edward. You know your 1st kiss when you came to visit for the summer in grade 8." Alice grabbed my hand off her arm and rubbed her red arm. That was Edward? And well he wasn't actually my first kiss. He was at Greene's for the week and on the last day we played T or D with all of her other cousins. Of course, Alice knew I liked him and dared him to kiss me. We went into the other room and I chickened out .We pretended we kissed when we came out. I have been meaning to talk to him for years, but I haven't seen him since that night. Back then he was a scrawny short zit faced teen that I was taller than even though I was older. Back then I thought he was cute but now. WOW... Just then the door opened. "Umm, hi Edward. I don't know if you remember me but we hung out a couple summer's ago here and umm…"
"Listen, Bella I came here for you." Were the first words out of his mouth. I was both touched that he came to see me and that he bothered to remember my name and confused that he wanted to see me. We haven't talked in at least 5 years. Why me?
"Wait why and how did you know we were coming back?" I had more questions but they just wouldn't come out because I was stopped by his cold icy lips.
"There. That should have been the both of our first kisses. Bella I called you and happen to get a hold of your mother, who told me you were here in forks. I just had to see you and tell you how I have felt about you; after all of these years I still can't stop thinking about what we could have been. When we were 14 the night of our imaginary kiss I knew something was different about you. I know they say at that age relationships they don't last, but I felt as if we could have made it work and lasted for all of the years" he paused a minute," Bella Swan, I, I love you..." At that moment I was speechless.
New chapter hopefully tomorrow or Thursday. Reveiw! ;)
