A/N: Hope you all enjoy.. I own nothing.. Lyrics are Remind Me - Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood. Other songs may be brought in but the story I think will roughly be revolved around that one. Thanks and Hope you all like! And I know its short I just wasn't sure how it would go over with the Readers.. So let me know :)
We didn't care if people stared
We'd make out in a crowd somewhere
Somebody'd tell us to get a room
It's hard to believe that was me and you
Now we keep saying that we're OK
But I don't want to settle for good not great
I miss the way that it felt back then I wanna feel that way again
I sat at the dinning room table staring at my wife of 7 years as she ate her breakfast. I tried to remember the last time we laughed together. Or the last time we cuddled on the couch watching a movie. Or actually went to see a movie.
My brother Emmett had called me out last night and as always I had agreed to go. Though this beer wasn't a normal one. This one was bought for me by a solemn faced Emmett and a worried looking Jasper.
"Everything ok?" I asked as I joined them at our normal table with the beer already there for me.
"Not exactly. Look what I am about to tell you I shouldn't know. And well when Rose finds out I'm telling you she might actually kill me."
"Well then why are you telling me?" I was getting thoroughly confused now.
"Because it's about Bella."
"What about her?"
"How have you guys been. Like really?"
"I appreciate the concern but where is this coming from?"
"Bella kissed another guy. Or well another guy kissed Bella."
"Excuse me?" How could she do that to me.
"Well she told Alice and Rose about it." Jasper added quickly. "She said she feels horrible about it but in some way she liked it. That she got a thrill of being liked by someone again."
"Liked? Shes my wife I love her." I was dumbfounded. How could she not know that.
"Look man, she said that she loves you but shes just not sure if you guys are 'in love' anymore. She said that for a long time you guys haven't been the people you were when you first got together."
"We dated the first time in 3rd grade, no shit we're not the same people."
"I think she means you aren't the people you feel in love with. Look the only reason we decided to tell you was because if things are really that bad then you should have known you could have said something to us. I'm your brother for christ sake. And Jasper has been in our lives since we were born."
"That's the thing. I didn't know she was unhappy. I mean I guess we haven't been ourselves in awhile."
"In awhile? Dude we hardly see you guys. And when we do its separately. Maybe you should try being like you were."
"And that would be?" I asked. I didn't really notice any change in me.
"Um, disgusting." Jasper added. "You guys use to maul each other. Alice use to tell me it was just the honey moon phase but you two were stuck in that state for so long and then we all graduated from college and then it was like work took over your lives and your relationship and dreams and goals took the back burner."
Bella had been asleep when I got back that night. She had ordered Chinese food for her dinner seeing as I was out, but to be honest I can't remember the last time we had a real dinner together just the two of us. We were 25 and were already in a devastating marriage if I didn't do something about.
As I laid next to her last night I longed to hold her. I knew I should be angry about the kiss that happened between her and a co-worker but for me it just made me want to fight for her more. Jasper and Emmett said that she loved me, I just needed her to be in love with me again. I spent a lot of time trying to find my own feelings again. But all I kept feeling was scared that I would lose the one person I love more then anything in this world.
When we graduated and got married everyone said we crazy. That it would never work. That we were too young. But I knew then as I do now that she will always be the one for me.
"What are you staring at?" She asked breaking me from my jumbled thoughts.
"Nothing," I said standing and walking around the table. "Just my beautiful wife." I kissed her forehead as I passed and her jaw dropped. I didn't comment on it. But I needed her to know I still loved her. I couldn't believe our marriage had come to this. Some rut we had let ourselves get stuck in.
I grabbed my suitcase that sat by the door giving Bella one last look. She was staring back at me.
"I love you."
"I, um, I love you too." Her face went a little pale.
