A/N: WEEE! THIS IS THE EDITED ONE YOU GUYS! BE HAPPY!
Being stuck in the hotel with Alice and Jasper was, by far, the strangest of times I'd ever had in a hotel. Alice had tried to make me keep my mind off the obvious, offering shopping trips or to go do girly stuff, but I continuously refused. Jasper used he subtle gifts, making me calm and content, but nothing could stop my worrying about Edward. I was restless and beside myself. I would stare at the dull wallpaper for hours on end, thinking about the first time I'd seen Edward in sunlight, or the way he laughed. The way he made me feel so safe, so confident, that being alone was nearly unbearable. Eventually, Jasper and Alice gave up all together. Naturally, I was shocked when Alice walked in one day and handed me the tiny silver cell phone. I took the phone, utterly confused, and tried to remember how to speak. I'd been so quiet the past few days, so it took me a minute. "Hello?" my voice sounded hollow and strange to me.
"Bella! Darling, I've missed you." Great, now I have to remember how to breathe.
"Bella?" he said after a minute, a note of panic in his voice.
"Yes?" I said, remembering myself.
"Bella, I'm coming to Phoenix. I'll be there soon." I started to tremble. Edward was coming. He was still alive.
"It's about time," I mumbled pathetically, then got serious, "Edward, I was so afraid he'd hurt you." He laughed that irresistible laugh of his.
"I'm quite shocked that you're still alive. Could it be that Jasper and Alice are actually doing their job?" I frowned, and I'm sure he could tell, for he laughed again.
"I'm back in Phoenix now, so therefore, no one will try to do away with me… Aside from the obvious," I muttered in my defense.
I could practically hear him roll his eyes, "Bella, I have to get on the plane now. Please, try to stay away from anything hazardous. Like windows. Or electrical plugs. I love you. I'll see you when I get off the plane." I smiled contently at the thought of seeing Edward.
"I love you too." I said, and hung up resentfully.
An hour later, Alice, Jasper and I were on our way to the airport. I was inconsolable, bouncing in my seat, nearly driving Alice insane. She ground her teeth, then glanced back at me and softened slightly. She knew better than to reprimand me; it was the first time in almost a week since I'd been happy. As we made our way through security, I got many strange stares from the security guards, and was pulled aside for an extensive search. Alice simply rolled her eyes, and Jasper was clearly struggling to contain a hysteric outburst as I continued to bounce up and down while being checked. After being sent off, with the continued confused looks from the security guards, we made our way to the terminal Edward was to arrive in. His flight was to arrive at 12:30 and it was just turning 10. The anticipation would be the death of me. At that thought, I had begun to panic: I wouldn't see Edward if I died. I did my best to do as he said from then on; instead of sitting by the wall with all windows, I chose to sit on the opposite side. Then of course I discovered an electrical outlet and proceeded to freak out and sat in the middle. I pitied Jasper and Alice, I did. They did whatever it took though, not a complaint from their perfect marble lips. There were a few glances shared, at my expense, but not a word. Mostly, I figured that they knew if one sentence against me was uttered, Edward would wring their necks.
Finally, after continuously asking Jasper what the time was every 5 minutes, and I was just about to ask again, I hear over the loud speaker, "Flight 1675 from Seattle, Washington is now arriving." Edward's flight. It took me a second to realize it, but when I did, my bouncing was annoying the soon to be passengers so much, that they all got up and moved. I almost ran to the gate when they opened the door and I saw Edward's perfect face. He ran to me as well, locking me in his solid embrace. Tears tracked down my face as he kissed my forehead, all the way down my jaw, and finally my lips. I couldn't have been happier to see anyone in my life. We got more stares than I had at the security checkpoint, but I didn't care; I was with Edward, and nothing would hurt me.
Feeling safe was probably the best, and only, thing I'd felt in a while. And it was wonderful.
