Woo hoo. I've got a Blackberry!!!!!!!!!! And over 100 reviews for 'A Small World'. Life is good. Oh, and I've got a zillion story ideas buzzing in my head. Unfortunately they are all for new stories so I have no idea when I'll update 'A Small World'.

Song for this chapter:

Cry by Kelly Clarkson

Whenever I see you I'll swallow my pride and bite my tongue

Pretend that I'm okay with it all

Act like there's nothing wrong

Chapter 1

I heard a knock on the front door. I knew that it was Edward. I ran to the door and threw it open. I was right. Edward stood outside, his bronze hair messier than usual. His face was sad.

"What's wrong?" I asked reflexively.

I hated the idea of Edward upset. He was always happy when he was around me.

"We're moving," he said flatly, moving past me to come inside.

"What?"

That was impossible. He was joking. There was no way that Esme would let us be separated.

"Yeah. Carlisle got a job in L.A. We're leaving tomorrow."

"So soon," I choked out.

Edward nodded.

"But Esme says…we'll visit in the holidays," he assured me.

"Yeah. Sure."

I was close to tears. Edward wrapped his arms around me.

"Bella, please don't cry."

"I'm not crying," I pointed out.

"You're about to," he whispered out against my hair.

I pushed him away. "How do you do that?" I demanded.

"Do what?"

"Know what I'm about to do before I do it?"

"Years of experience. Besides, you do it too."

I smiled. "Yeah. It's probably all the years we've spent together."

My smile vanished. All those years. Edward and I had been born in the same hospital. We lived next door to each other. We sat next to each other in class. We liked and hated the same things.

The next day I was with Edward at the airport.

"I'm really gonna miss you," I told him as I hugged him.

"What are you talking about?" he asked me.

"You're leaving," I reminded him

"No. Bella, I'm staying."

I jolted out of my daydream. Today was the day. After 10 years of being away, he was now returning for good.

I checked the clock. 11:00. His plane would have arrived by now. I sat at my desk, with my hands clenched into fists.

My friends, Emmett, Jasper and Alice were at the airport. They were welcoming Edward and his sister, Rosalie.

Rosalie and Emmett were in a long-distance relationship for about seven years. I had no idea how either one of them managed it.

But then again, even though it's been 10 years I still love Edward. I only realized my feelings for him when he left. He was returning with his girlfriend, Tara.

They had been dating for six months. Apparently Tara was going to be attending University Of Washington with Edward next year.

Did I mention that I would also be attending UOW? The three of us together. What a joy!

My cell phone rang. I answered it without looking.

"Jazz, I'm busy. Stop bothering me. If I could have came I would have. Now leave me alone!"

"Bella, it's Alice."

I froze. I didn't want to face the evil pixie. "Hi," I squeaked out.

"We're on our way home so I don't care what your plans are. You WILL cancel them."

"Of course," I answered obediently.

I sighed. Great. I was going to meet Tara.

I silently cursed Alice before taking a deep breath. Meeting your crush's girlfriend. No big deal, right?

I think it's a big deal but then again I am not Bella. Sigh! How I wish I was. Lol. Review and let me know what you think. Next chapter will be longer I promise.

XOXO

Bella
