Hushed Dreams

BPOV

Tonight I had to lie while putting my acting skills to the test. I had to lie to Edward. As much as I hated doing this to him, I had to protect him from who I am. Hi, my name is Isabella Swan, international superstar. Also known as Ella Marie. During the day I'm just an average normal, klutzy girl with a wonderful boyfriend. But at night I'm someone who is bombarded with paparazzi, hearing screaming fans calling my name. All of a sudden I heard a knock at the door. I went and opened up for Edward(she already knew he was going to her house)

"Hey," I said.

"How are you this evening?" he asked.

"I've been better," I told him.

"Bella, what's wrong?"

"I have to talk to not only you but the whole family. It's really important."

"OK. Do you want to go and see them now and tell them whatever, or do you want to wait til tomorrow?" he asked.

"Now would be fine. The sooner the better."

We went outside to his car and drove to his house. When we got there Alice was waiting outside with a frown on her pixie face. When I got out of the car, she walked up to me and asked,

"Is it true? Do you really have to go?" I felt so bad. I didn't want to leave my family like this, but I hade to.

"Bella what is she talking about?" Edward asked. I sighed, this was going to be very hard.

After talking with the whole family, they were all devastated. No one wanted me to go. I told them that my mother needed me in Florida so I was going to go and see her.

"I'm sorry, but it was last minute. But the good thing is that we can keep in contact with each other, right?"

"I guess your right. But, how long are you going to be down there?" Emmett asked.

"That at the moment is unknown. But I promised that it will be over and I will be back before you know it," I told him, walking over to him and giving him a hug goodbye.

"when are you leaving?" Carlisle asked.

"Tonight, so I can get there by morning." He frowned. I hated myself for doing this to them.

I said goodbye and goodnight to everyone. Tonight I would have to board a plane going to New York to start my tour around the world. This was not going to be easy going through without Edward by my side. But at least I will be able to talk to him everyday, unlike last time. I shuddered.

When Edward had pulled up to my house and brought me inside, he looked heartbroken. As much as I wanted to stay, I had to leave, my fans were waiting and I could not bring Edward or his family into this.

It was my business and it needed to be taken cared of.

"Edward, I just want you to know that I love you and don't you dare think that I am making this up to leave you. That will never happen in a million years. Just call me everyday and I will answer. OK?"

All he did was nod his head. I the part of leaving, I have to face both of our pains.

"Please is there any way you can stay? I don't think I can go very long without you, Bella." he said.

"I'm sorry but my mom needs me Edward. I promise you that I will come back as soon as possible."

All of a sudden I heard a horn outside. One of my friends Ashley might of already called a cab for me.

"I guess I have to go now," I said sadly. I didn't want to leave Forks behind like this. I couldn't. the cab honked again. So I went to the door to get my bags that were already there, but Edward beat me to it.

"If your going away, at least let me carry your bags for you." I smiled. Always the perfect gentleman.

He walked me to the car and put my bags in the trunk.

"Goodbye, love."

"'Bye, I'll call first thing when I get there promise. I love you." I said, crying.

"Don't cry, love. Just go take care of your mother so you can come back to me." he said to me.

I hugged and kissed him very passionately. This is the last kiss for a while. Then I got in the cab and it started driving away from my love. I looked back, behind me and waved for the last time. If only I could tell Edward who I really am. My true colors. Then he could travel the world with me. But I was afraid, afraid that if I told him, he would leave again. The way he did those few months ago. I lie to the ones I love. The Cullens and Edward would have every right to be upset and hate me, I lied. Alice would think that I betrayed our friendship. Rosalie would hate me even more for hurting her family. I couldn't even think about what everyone else would think. Or Edward. But right now I need to think about my future. What lies ahead. I needed to think about my hushed dreams.
