I know it's been a long time but I plan to be posting many in the week ahead. Well now on to the story!!
Edwards POV
"Edward?" Bella called out my name. I looked behind me to look at her. My gaze went to the right of to see the dog with his arm around Bella's waist. I jumped up, ready to tear his face off.
"What are you doing mutt?!" I asked. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Bella flinch. I took a deep unneeded breath to calm myself. I reached out to Bella intending to pull her to me and away from the dog, but as I did this, she stepped behind him, away from me.
"Bella?" I was confused and a little hurt. Why would she step away from me? I would never hurt her, so why was she scared of me.
"Edward, I…We." She motioned to her and Jacob with her hands "Would like to talk to you about something I decided when I was in La Push."
I walked slowly back to my chair and sank into it. I motioned with a sweep of my hand for them to sit down.
"What would you like to talk to me about Bella?" I asked with no emotion in my voice. As she and Jacob took a seat, she started to talk.
"Edward, well I was in La Push today I got to thinking about us." She stopped and had to clear her throat and eyes of tears before continuing.
Bella started to cry and on impulse I almost jumped up but Jacob shot, me a look then turned to comfort her. I sank deep into depression as I watched her turn to him. It was as if I was dying all over again. I flopped down into my seat again.
I had so many questions, too many. My head is starting to hurt, hurt so much. I want to tear my head off. Just chuck it across the room, that way I can watch what's happening without any connections to this mess of a life.
"Edward I can't take this anymore. I love you, and I hope you remember that but I know that if I decided to marry you, be with you for the rest of my life that I would be so unhappy." She was crying so hard and as Bella keep talking my heart creaked and pieces fall off it.
"But today when I was with Jacob I could see my life with him Edward. I could see my life with him Edward. I could see a couple of kids and me and him growing old together. I want this Edward and I realized…" I stopped listening to her this one song I had heard long ago kept ran through my head.
I thought we would always be together,
The love we shared was gonna last forever,
Once I was your one and only,
Now here I sit, Mister Lonely.
He'll hold you tonight, but I won't
What's he got that I don't
The one thing I thought I'd never lose
He's got you…
I couldn't take it anymore.
"Go." I whispered.
"Edward, what?" She leaned forward as if she was going to touch me, I jumped out of my chair and was at the other side of the room before she realized.
I mentally collected myself and in a very business-like tone said, " I understand Bella, I always knew it was going to happen in the back of my mind, And as I told you when I first came back I'll let you go and let you live the rest of your life in Peace." I started walking towards the door.
"But know I love you and I always will. Now please excuse me I need to leave." With that I ran far away from them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~25 years later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'I knew Bella would age pretty.' I thought.
I kept my promise, I let her go to him and they had some kids. However, I would keep my promise to myself too. I will watch over her until she dies and then I would follow her.
I always thought of that day, Should I have tried to win her back? Should I have taken a stand? If I had, would she be with me now?
~He's got you~
Okay well first I want to tell you I was worried about this story because well my friend read it and she started to cry…Did you cry? Were you close to tears? Tell me. I want to know if it was good and you loved it or if it was bad and you never want to read any of my stories again. REVIEW!!!! I beg you!!!! (P.S. I know it short, sorry.)
