Summary: Edward never went back in New Moon. 56 years later, he's at a wedding for a friend of Carlisle's. What happens when he see's a certain guest? Looks like Bella's not so human after all!
Edward's POV:
I sighed, playing with my tie. I was currently sitting at the mansion of an old friend's of Carlisle's, Christopher, for his wedding reception. Carlisle and Esme had just finished saying how they knew how the bride and groom belong together and wished them an eternity of love. Love.
My cold, non-beating, heart ripped a little at the mention of the word. It had been 56 years since I left my Bella. Oh, wait she wasn't my Bella anymore.
My heart ripped a bit more. She probably got married, had kids, and now has grandchildren. I felt a pang of jealousy at the mention of a husband.
Her husband could provide her with children and kiss her without wanting to suck the blood out of her. He could hold her without fear of crushing her, and do things with her I only could dream of.
It was for the best. She could lead a normal life without us in her life. But I had to admit, we weren't the same without Bella in our lives. Alice and Jasper kept to themselves, Esme never smiled much anymore, Carlisle kept to his office, Emmett lost his humorous side, and Rosalie, well I don't know how Rosalie felt.
As for me? I wandered by myself for a while, then Alice found me and dragged me back. I kept to my room, staring blankly at the wall. None of us left the house for the past year. This was the first time we went outside for the past year.
'Cheer up, dude, only one more hour and we're outta here!', boomed Emmett in his mind. 'Come on Edward, weddings are awesome!' chirped Alice. "Yea, awesome." I muttered. Just as Carlisle and Esme sat back down, I heard the door open, and my whole family gasp.
I turned toward the door and the source of my family's shock. I understood why they were frozen, just staring with wide eyes. Because at the door, was the person I thought I would never see again.
