Meeting up with Angela

BPOV
I felt a little nervous of meeting up with Angela again, I didn't look like quite the same Bella as she remembers, but hopefully she wouldn't comment on it, too much.
My life had changed to the better after High School was over, and I was happy, and I didn't think that I deserved all of this, Renesmee, Edward, the other Cullen's, all of it.
And Charlie had married Sue eventually, and I were so happy for him, that things finally had solved for him, and that he had a happy life, still unknowing of what I had become.
The snow feel from the sky as I lay in the snow, staring into the empty space above me. I knew that I should start running home to the Cullen's house again, but it was so quiet, and I enjoyed the moment.
Snow kept falling down on me from the sky, light as a feather.
I closed my eyes, and wished I was able to sleep a little, just a few minutes, so that my head could rest a little.
I wondered how my meeting with Angela would go, how she would react when she saw me, my new me. I couldn't come to her wedding three years ago. I missed Angela, she was so easy to talk with,
and one of the nicest people I knew.
I thought back to right before graduation, when I helped Angela with her graduation invites for her family.
I remembered how easy she was to talk to, and she was a true friend to me.
"What's Edward doing tonight?" She asked after a few minutes.
My pen dug into the envelope I was working on. "Emmet's home for the weekend. They're supposed to be hiking."
"You say that like you're not sure."
I shrugged.
"You're lucky Edward has his brothers for all the hiking and camping. I don't know what I'd do if Ben didn't have Austin for the guy stuff."
"Yeah, the outdoors thing is not really for me. And there's no way I'd ever be able to keep up."
Angela laughed. "I prefer the indoors myself."
She focused on her pile for a minute. I wrote out four more addresses.
There was never any pressure to fill a pause with meaningless chatter around Angela. Like Charlie, she was comfortable with silence.
But, like Charlie, she was also too observant sometimes.
My mind wandered back to Angela's room again.
"Is there something wrong?" she asked in a low voice now.
"You seem . . . Anxious."
I smiled sheepishly. "Is it that obvious?"
"Not really."
She was probably lying to make me feel better.
"You don't have to talk about it unless you want to." she assured me. "I'll listen if you think it will help."
I was about to say Thanks, but no thanks. After all, there were just too many secrets I was bound to keep. I really couldn't discuss my problems with someone human. That was against the rules.
And yet, with a strange, sudden intensity, that's exactly what I wanted.
I wanted to talk to a normal human girlfriend. I wanted to moan a little bit, like any other teenage girl. I wanted my problems to be that simple. It would also be nice to have someone outside the whole vampire - werewolf mess to put things in perspective. Someone unbiased.
"I'll mind my own business," Angela promised, smiling down at the address she was working on.
" No," I said. "You're right. I am anxious. It's . . . It's Edward."
"What's wrong?"
It was so easy to talk to Angela. When she asked a question like that, I could tell that she wasn't just morbidly curious or looking for gossip, like Jessica would have been. She cared that I was upset.
"Oh, he's mad at me."
"That's hard to imagine," she said. "What's he mad about?"
I sighed. "Do you remember Jacob Black?"
"Ah," she said.
"Yeah."
"He's jea-"
Abruptly, I was back in the snow.
I turned my head, and Edward lay there beside me, starring me in the eyes.
"Did I disturb you?" He looked me into the eyes, and I smiled at him.
"No, not exactly. I was just daydreaming." I turned my head against the sky again, and stared into the white ocean of snow, falling against me.
"Something I can do anything about?" I turned my head against him again. He was looking sweetly at me, with my favorite crooked smile playing around his lips.
I shook my head, and stared deep into his eyes.
"No, I was just thinking about Angela. I'm a little nervous about our little meeting."
I lay my head on his chest, and closed my eyes.
Edward lay his hands around me, and kissed me on top of my head.
"You've got nothing to worry about, Bella. You've spoken to Angela on the phone, and she didn't seem to notice much different in your voice. And I know that you miss talking to Angela, Bella. It will go smoothly." I raised my head, and looked at him, and I knew that he meant what he'd just said. I reached for his lips, and he met me halfway.
We kissed passionately, and I couldn't set words onto my happiness. Of all the things I had in life. Edward, Renesmee, the Cullen's, Charlie, Renee, and Angela..
I looked up at Edward, and I still got breathless of his beauty.
I lay my head down to his chest again, and closed my eyes.
"I love you, Edward." I whispered to him.
"I love you too, Bella. I always will." He whispered, and kissed the top of my head.
I envisioned Renesmee running around in the snow, her long curled, brown hair down her back, dancing around in the meadow.
I remembered Edward and me here, a few years ago, when we first met.
His skin like diamonds in the sun, so beautiful.
I closed my eyes, and lay back on Edward's chest.
I felt the snow as a light blanket over my body, if I still was human, it would be freezing, but I hardly noticed it now, my skin as cold as the snow, maybe colder.
When I looked up at Edward, he lay there, smiling against the sky, with a happy smile on his lips. In an instant, he started to hum on my lullaby, the most beautiful tune I'd ever heard in my life, and probably would ever hear.
Edward looked at me, with his golden eyes. I closed my eyes again, and lay my head down onto his chest again, feeling very comfortable there, like I belonged there.
We lay like that, absolutely still, for a very long time.
I listened to him humming my lullaby, over and over again.
I didn't think my life could get any better, and enjoyed the moment we had together, without anyone else. Just the two of us, together, in one of the first places we spent time together.
Suddenly, I heard sounds from the woods. It was surely not a bird, or an animal. I heard that it ran on two feet . . . It came faster against us, and I was on alarm. I rose in a sec and was ready to attack. The vampire - I guessed - was too far away, I couldn't trace a smell.
But when I looked over at Edward, he lay in the snow, looking up at me, with big innocent eyes. He knew something I didn't, I was sure of it.
Something about the vampire running in the woods.
"What is it that runs in the woods? Who is it?" I whispered to him.
"Someone you know, and will be glad to see, it is Christmas, so, she wanted to say hello, and wish Renesmee good Christmas, and maybe celebrate Christmas with us, it depends on you, and your wishes, my love." He smiled a wide smile, while I thought over it once more, and pieces fell into place . . .
Okay, this is the first chapter of this story, and I think I will post a new chapter soon! And by the way, I love reviews!
