a/n I dont own Twilight or any of these characters
I stared out the window of the town car, hopelessly searching for the color of her hair, her face, searching for her. I knew it would be much easier to look for her if I just got out of the damn car but I knew that it wouldn't be best. Our reunion had to be perfectly planned out. I spotted my brother Emmett emerging through the heavy oak doors that were connected to the ancient private school they , well me again now, that we attended. I knew that she wouldn't be far behind. Next I saw my sister Alice's emerge. Wherever Alice was Bella was never far behind. They had been best friends since they were toddlers. Their trio of friendship was completed with Rosalie, the strikingly beautiful blonde who exited the building next. I watched as walked up to Emmett and they linked their hands, they had been together basically since kindergarten, if anybody had a perfect romance it was them, but I though me and Bella were giving them a run for the money. We could of if I wasn't such a fuck up. Then there was Jasper he picked up Alice and spun her around, they also had the ideal romance, they knew each other inside out. Finally the object of my obsessive search emerged. She was as beautiful as in my dreams. Her hair though had changed, now it was black with bright red streaks on the top, but everything else the same. Bella took my breath away. She didn't look like her though. She looked like a typical upper east sider high class bitch at this moment. In her plaid skirt and sweater and hills. I watched as she joined the group of my brother and sister and the loves of their lives. It took every ounce of strength I had in my to not bolt out of the car and run to her, drop to my knees and beg for forgiveness. Her smile was dazzling. Then her and Alice and Rosalie were walking away heading towards another car. I turned around and looked out the back window, They got into the back of a black town car. I knew though that they wouldn't be riding with my brothers today. I had planned to surprise my family later that night, but when I found out that instead of the usual routine of them all riding together and saving our drivers from wasting their time. Apparently from what Wade, our driver had said, the girls had something planned without the boys, so I decided to surprise my brother and best friend a little early. I braced myself as they walked to the car. They were laughing at something and I wished desperately that I was in on the joke. They couldn't see me through the limo tint and I was grateful. I scooted all the way to the other side of the backseat. Suddenly the door opened and I watched as Emmett and Jasper entered the car, oblivious to me. They were still laughing, it sounded like music to my ears. I never realized that I missed them as much as I missed Bella, well almost.
"Yo Wade!" Emmett said and then it was like it was in slow motion as he turned to look at me "Oh my fucking god Edward when the fuck did you get back!" my brother screamed. Then I was encompassed in a big bear hug.
"Uhmm about an hour ago." I mumbled. He let go and smiled at me.
"So how long you here for man?" Jasper asked.
"For good!"
"Alright, the trio is back again!" Emmett yelled and fist pumped.
"Bella is not going to be happy about this or Alice, you know how they both hate surprises." Jasper chimed in.
"Don't tell them" I sighed, of course I knew that Bella wouldn't be happy and I didn't even know if she would even forgive me for what I did, but hearing it in words was hard to take.
"You got it bro, boy its gonna be drama tonight!"
"What do you mean?"
"Well your going to the bar with us tonight of course!" I knew there would be not arguing with Emmett when he set his mind to something it could never be changed. So much for my perfectly planned reunion.

I sighed as I settled into the backseat of the town car. All I wanted to do was get home and get out of this ridiculous uniform, words could not describe how much I hated the damn thing.
"Where to girls?" Ron my driver asked.
"Home I have to get out this get up!" I said to him.
"Okie dokie Bells." He said and then turned around and faced the road.
"So we change then head to the shop?" Alice chimed in as she began typing on her iphone.
"Whatever floats your boat Al." I smiled at her. Sure she got on my nerves with her never ending energy and the ways she always thought she knew everything, but I couldn't picture life without her. Or the blonde headed goddess that was sitting on her other side. They were my rocks.
" I need to get my nails done, can we fit that in?" Rosalie asked as she inspected her nails.
"No! WE have appointments for that tomorrow" I was already in a bad mood and I really didn't want to spend my time sitting in a upscale salon getting my nails worked on.
"Fine, what are you going to do with your hair now Bells?" Rosalie asked. Rosalie loved to think up my next hair style because she wasn't brave enough to change hers.
" The same black it is now with purple and blonde highlights." Alice chimed in with out looking up from her phone.
"Sounds good. What do you think?" Rosalie asked knowing that I would like it.
"Whatever." I said casually. The car stopped and I climbed out of the car followed by the other too.
We waved to the doorman and entered our building. The nicest and most expensive on the Upper East side. Only the best for the future president of the United States and his family, well only his daughter now. We took the elevator up, dropping Rosalie off at her penthouse, then Alice and hers then finally mine, of course at the top of the building because it was after all an and Emmetts was below mine. I had stopped thinking of it as his home too, since he had left it last year. Rosalie and Jaspers right under theirs. Their apartments bigger than most houses in towns. I opened the double carved wooden doors and entered and headed straight to my room. It was way different the whole entire penthouse. The walls were painted black with purple swirls randomly on the wall. All my furniture was black and the bedding and cushions on my furniture was purple. Band posters covered the walls. I quickly stripped off my uniform and headed toward my walk in closet and pulled out a pair of black skinny jeans, a grey tank top and a black long cardigan. I quickly dressed and through on a pair of grey suede ankle boots that were flat. I went into my bathroom and took the blue headband with a bow on it out of my hair. I ruffled it with some hair spray where some random pieces were sticking up and out and all around, and applied some more black eye shadow and eyeliner. I heard voices enter my room and then my bathroom and saw Alice and Rosalie behind me from the mirror. They of course looked beautiful. I always looked plain next to them and I knew it. Alice was wearing a black mini dress with red and white plaid flannel over it unbuttoned, white tights with a pair of red stilettos. Her black short hair that reached the middle of her neck was spiked out in random sections and looked amazing. Rosalie was wearing a neon pink tight long shirt with a pair of dark denim skinny jeans with a pair of flats the same color, it was topped off with a white fedora. I turned around to face them.
"Come on slow ass, if we want to get to the shop and eat at the Ivy we need to hurry the fuck up. You know how Alice shops." Rosalie smiled at me.
"You guys would be fashion victims with out me!" Alice stuck her tongue out her Rosalie. I knew I would be, but Rosalie wouldn't be. No matter what she wore, she would be beautiful. I sighed. I was excited to go out tonight my favorite local band. Something tugged at my heard, but I refused to let it pull me into memories, because that was also his favorite band. I shook my head swiftly to dispel the thought.
"You ok?" Alice asked, she never missed anything and that why I loved her. She knew that even though I enjoyed listening to Lydias Suicide, it always brought on a wave of sadness.
"Of course, just hungry so lets go." I said and headed out of the bathroom.
"We don't have to go you know." Rosalie chimed in. I stopped and sat on my bed. My cat Wednesday climbed onto my lap and absentmindedly pet her. She was a present from Edward and no matter how mad I was at him or how much she reminded me of him I could never get rid of her.
"Of Course I want to! I've waited six months for this fucking show, No way in hell are we missing this!"
"Oh come on you know we could get Garrett to play anytime we wanted too!" Alice chimed in as she sat chaise lounge.
"It doesn't matter were going tonight." I said stood up quickly and walked out my bedroom door.

"So their going to the shop and then where?" I asked Emmett and Jasper who were busy lounging around in my families game room. Emmett was playing on his xbox and Jasper was strumming on a bass. The shop which was really Kate and Tanya's, which was a upscale vintage store which the girls loved. Especially since they Kate and Tanya were family friends of mine and they got great discounts. Now we were just waiting for the girls to call and we would go meet them at the bar. My favorite band Lydia's suicide was playing. They were also Bella's. It would be a good setting. They were the creators of our song True love never dies and hopefully they would play it. So we wouldn't get the reunion I planned but this would be sort of better. Besides this was her scene anyway and a planned chance meeting in Central park wasn't. I looked at the clock it was 7:00 and the doors to the bar which was owned by Jasper and Rosalie's parents opened at 8:00. How fucking long did it take to go shopping and eat? Just then I heard Emmett's phone ring. After a quick conversation with I assumed was Rosalie and was confirmed by the "I love you" at the end he stood. I stood too.
"You ready for this bro?"
"Yeah Alice might just kick your ass."
"I've been ready for this for a year." I said and turned and headed out of the room.
Angels and Demons was busy that night, of course though we didn't have to wait in the line we just waltzed right up to the door and were let in. We didn't need id's either. I knew that in not even five minutes I would be facing Bella and my raging sister and most likely a very rabid Rosalie. She was amazingly protective of Bella. We had grown up together and though we weren't as close as she was with the others she was still my friend. The bar was dark but lit by red lights. We headed for the stairs and up to the VIP section. What would I say to her? What would she say back? More importantly how would she act. I didn't have much time to plan what I was going to say because all of sudden I was knocked to the ground.
"What the hell you bastard you're here and you didn't fucking tell me!" I heard my sister musical voice.
"Surprise" I said.
"Hmph." She said as she stood up and I did to. " I should kick your ass right now, but I think someone else will."She said and hugged me again. I knew who that some one was. Actually there could be two, Rosalie or Bella. I had seen Rose kick a lot of peoples asses over the years and I knew she could do it even though I was a guy.
"Has she seen me yet?" I asked her knowing she would know I was talking about Bella.
"No shes in the bathroom. Edward this might not be a good idea."
"I know Alice. But I need too see her."
"You have a lot of explaining to do you know that right."
"I know." I said and kissed her forehead. Sure she could be annoying but I loved her more than the world. Even though she didn't always agree with me, she would always have my back.
"Has she figured it out yet?" I asked also knowing she would get my drift.
"I explained it, but you know she can be stubborn. She gets it in a sense, Edward you hurt more by leaving, even though you thought it would save her. A goodbye would of gone along way."
"I realize that now." I sighed.
" I know you do, that's why Im going to help you, without getting involved." I knew she was being sarcastic. Alice loved to get involved in things. She winked at me and began walking to a table that Emmett and Jasper were occupying.
"Aww man I thought for sure we were in for a fight!" Emmett sighed.

I pushed my way out of the crowed bathroom. Luckily even though I was only eighteen I had seniority at this place over the fucking random fuck heads who only came for the shows and because celebrities frequented here. I even had it over them.
"Get the hell out of my way." I chided at some girl who looked even younger than me, even though she couldn't be. I watched as recognition passed over her face and she moved.
"In a bad mood?" Rose asked who was following me.
"Nope."
"Uhmm well you're about to be." What the hell was she talking about I turned around and saw that she was staring at our table. Then I saw the reason I would be put in a bad mood. Sitting there in all his amazing beautiful glory was Edward fucking Cullen. I let go of a breath that I didn't even know I was holding. What the hell was he was doing here? He had started a new life in California. A new life without me. Left without a goodbye, a clean break, well at least on his part. My break was jagged as cut glass and it kept fucking cutting me. I felt it now. I felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest and my lungs were constricting. My heart and brain were fighting, an all out war was going on inside my body. My heart wanting to run at him through my arms around him and cry, my head was saying to walk away or go sit there and ignore him. Make him suffer for the pain he caused. My head one this round, in a way. I would not simply ignore him. My brain was racing over time and before I knew it I was heading straight for the table.
"Bella are you sure." Rose asked.
"Positive." I said without looking at her. I was on a mission now. Facing the love of my life, who left me to keep from hurting me. His plan backfiring because I was hurt, was he under a delusion that I didn't care about him that much, love him that much, that his leaving wouldn't hurt? I was going to go to the table and sit. Wait for him to address me and then what? I asked myself. I didn't know what. The first move was his. Really I had to admit this was an ideal setting for our reunion. Our favorite band playing, in the bar we had grown up. If he was planning on a reunion which I doubted it would have been something romantic probably in Central Park. He was a hopeless romantic. Was a hopeless romantic. Romantics wouldn't leave the ones they had swore their love too without even a goodbye. I reached the table and glanced around at my friends faces, the family that had been there for me. I studied their faces. All filled with wonder, and Alice's a little smug. Her planning face. What the hell was that little pixie planning. I slid into the booth, next to Edward. I felt the familiar thrill I used to feel when I was around him. When my heart still beat normal. The slightly dizzy butterflies in your stomach feeling. I had never really gotten used to it. It had been gone for almost a year and now it came back like an ocean wave hitting me.
"Hey boys." I said and pulled a cigarette out and lit it.
"Yo Bells have you noticed who is sitting next to you?" Emmett asked with a hint of a smile.
"Yep." I took a drag held it in and blew it out. I was fighting an urge to turn to him and look at him. Stare into his beautiful amber eyes.
"Hi." I heard his beautiful voice say next to me. That was waiting for, my will crumbled and I turned to face him. If this was a movie it would be in slow mo. But this wasn't a movie this was real life and I was now facing the man who had the power to break and mend my heart. I fought a smile that was threating to break my calm face.
"Hello, Edward." I heard the words slip through my lips. Then the band started playing. Our song, True love never dies. Just like in the movies. I knew in that instant that it was true, that real true love never did die, because it that moment love for the boy I was staring at was surging through my body.
