Edward Cullen had two loves: Ribena and Bella Swan. One day, at eighteen, he planned to marry her, the next day he's 28, single, and wondering where he went wrong. CANON/AH/HEA
Chapter One
When I was seven, I drank a red liquid called Ribena.
Now, it was non-alcoholic, juicy fun that filled me with vitamin B and a whole-lotta love. I always drank Ribena, even when I had the sniffles or a cold December rolled around; I just loved the taste of it.
Bella and I, my best friend, would run around for hours on end, just playing and drinking the liquid that bonded us together.
When I was seventeen, I drank a red liquid called Wine.
It was alcoholic, fun, and eased the stress off of my shoulders. I didn't drink it often, just enough to notice how hot my best friend had become. I drank it whilst we had sex for the first time under the bleachers.
When I was eighteen, I drank a red liquid called Ribena again.
I passed all of my exams with straight A's, got offered an under-study job at a Law Firm, and watched my best friend fall in love with a man ten years her senior…
Now, at the age of twenty eight, I don't drink Ribena anymore.
I drink Coffee, own a penthouse in Upper East Manhattan, wear a suit from Nine til' Five, have worry lines etched deep into my face, and am the father of a little five year old girl named Tanya.
I hadn't seen my Best friend in over twelve years.
Now, as I sip the long forgotten Juice of Ribena, I can't help but wonder where I went wrong. It wasn't supposed to work like this, she was supposed to marry me, love me and make a life with me… but then, one misty day, she was gone. Forever. The brown haired girl with the soulful blue eyes had left me. Left us. The Ribena went down my throat with a bitter conquest; the one sweet taste had turned sour with lingering memories of her and I.
Memories I couldn't help but reminisce over…
A/N: Hi. *waves* right now I'm at the point where posting multiple Fic's is acceptable, (I'm trying to find out where I am!) If you could drop a comment, I'd be so happy! Thanks, LL.
