let me just fill you in on what happened during these 5 years. In my story bella never goes to save edward and edward never comes back for her. they are bolth alive and trying to move on with there lives. bella had become very good friends with jacob but right before she was going to give him a chance he died fighting off victoria. she was defeteated but we lost jacob. bella went off to collage so that she could get her mind off edward and jacob. as for edward, they all got back into the cycle of going to school after a few years of regruping . they spent 2 years already at another school and are now starting over!
Edwards point of view
Hello goodbye
I had bean quite anxious all day and I didn't know why, but I was searching the minds of all the humans I passed looking for anything different than any other school. The day passed in a blur from all the orientations and I realized it was already 6th period. Bioligy… I walked into the room and was a bit over whelmed by the smell, it was probably all the new scents hitting me at once but it was nothing I couldn't handle after everything I've been through. I walked to the very back of the room and took a seat. I closed my eyes and rested my head in the palm of my hands. Could vampires suffer from sleep deprivation? I was too lazy to actually figure out some logic for that question so I distracted myself by looking at the board. There stood our teacher, I could only see her back but she looked quite young. She had brown hair, and a blue top. I searched the space where she was standing to see what she was thinking but found nothing like there was no one there. I gasped and closed my eyes, this has only happened with one other person. When I opened my eyes she was walking toward her desk and there on the board in neat handwriting was: Miss. Isabella Swan. I had to stop myself from hyperventilating so I squeezed my eyes shut and stopped breathing. I looked up when she started to talk.
"Hello class I am miss. Isabella swan and I will be your 6 period biology teacher this year." She sounded much older I guessed that she would be about 23 now. " I am going to take role now if I say your name wrong please correct me." Uhhh Oooo I wondered if she had the slightest idea that I was here. I knew that I would be coming up soon in the role so I tried to calm myself down. I found myself crushing the table underneath my hands as I listened to the vulgar mind of the teenage boys fantasizing about Bella and I had to destroy the evidence just like the first day I'd met her except now it was for a much different reason. I looked at her very carefully and she was still my breathtakingly beautiful Bella, but there was something off about her. She didn't look healthy. As she got to the end of the B's I had to pin myself to my chair. She called off a few more names and then gasped. That's when I knew she had seen my name. Her heart skipped a few beats and she held her breath. It sounded like she was trying to act normally but wasn't succeeding. She closed her eyes and set her pen down resting her face in the hands. She took a deep breath and tried to restart.
" Edw… Edwar… Cull Cull-en" she said quietly. I waited knowing that no one would have heard her. " Edward Cullen" she said her voice shaking.
"I'm here," I whispered just loud enough for her to hear. I was surprised how hard it was for me to talk. She kept going with the role this time a bit quieter. Bella handed out a questionnaire and when she got to the back row her scent hit me it, I had already prepared my mind for it but that didn't do much as it entered my nose. I didn't bother to fill out the questionnaire, instead I scrutinized her every movement to try and figure out what she was thinking. She looked shell-shocked and she had told me once that she was good at blocking out unpleasant things so this wasn't something unpleasant. She wasn't blocking it. She looked nerves but I was guessing that was also because it was her first day of teaching by herself. As the period continued she talked about the classes syllabus. I was repeatedly reminded how much I loved her and how I couldn't live without her. The way her voice smoothed over words, the way she took every step with caution, the way her heart beat fluttered and her cheeks turned a crimson red, and the way you could basically read her mind in her bottom less eyes.
I was surprised when she dismissed the class. Everyone flew out of the room but I stayed, still as a statue. Bella walked to the door and when everyone was out closed it gently and went to her desk. She pulled her chair out, facing it away from me and sat down tucking her knees in to her chest and burying her head in her arms. I started to hear quiet little sobs. It was hard to stay in my seat as I listened to her crying. As her heart quieted down and her breathing became normal, I got up and walked to her chair. Slowly I touched my hand to her arm. She was so warm and soft it almost made me melt. She lifted her head and looked at me for the first time. I couldn't help myself from smiling.
" My Bella" I said holding out my hands for her to take. She did and when she stood up she was taller than me. I gave her a puzzled look and she leaned all her weight into me. That's when I realized that she was wearing heals. When she was finally stable I pulled her tightly into my chest. She burred her head into my chest and wrapped her arms around my waist. It felt so good to have her warm body so close to me again. I took a deep breath and smelled the most amazing scent I had ever encountered. She held me tighter as I froze slightly from the intensity of it. Slowly I moved my head till my lips were kissing her forehead. Her heartbeat jumped. Could she really be having this reaction to me after all I put her through? I lifted her chin with my hand to see into her eyes, but they were all wrong.
"Why are you so sad my love? We are together. I love you", I said the last words more quietly as I saw her face fall. She looked down and started to cry. I couldn't understand, so I pulled her closer, but she pushed me away. Another human thing I would have to get used to – rejection. I wanted to cry myself but knew I had to be strong or else I would never be able to understand. We were still close so I took the back of my hand and brushed it across her cheek.
"Edward" she started, pushing my hand down. "You don't understand."
"No I don't." She just looked at me so I clarified. " Why are you so sad?"
"Edward, look at me!" I was and I didn't see anything wrong. She was as beautiful as ever. "We can't be together. Its too late…" I could hear the distress in her voice. I couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth. I stood there in shock as she started to pack up her stuff. This was one of those times that I wished I could read her mind. As she was about to walk past me, I stopped her holding on to her shoulders. I faced her towards me and looked into her eyes trying to figure it out. She bent in towards me and kissed me on the neck.
" I'm sorry," she said. Then she straightened up and walked out of the room. Her warm lips tickled, but I knew it was only a goodbye kiss.
