Just a dream
Summary: Baby why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go? I was counting on forever, now I'll never know, I can't even breathe It's like I'm looking from a distance Standing in the background Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now This can't be happening to me This is just a dream.
Chapter 1
"Hi Edward!" I said sitting down on his couch, Edward was 25 and had proposed to me, I had of course said yes. I couldn't believe he was all mine, I was 23 and loved him with all my heart.
"Hello Bella!" he called and came in giving me a peck on the lips. "I got a letter from the army today." He said sitting down next to me.
"Really?"
"Yeah, Bella. I have to serve." This took me by surprise; I wasn't expecting him to have to go fight.
"What? Why?" I asked, sitting up straight.
"Bella, it's would be my honor to go serve for the military. I want to protect my country." Edward said getting defensive.
"But…" I couldn't speak anymore, he was right it was something he had always dreamed of. "Okay."
"Thanks, for not turning this into a fight." He said and gave me a hug. "I have to go respond to this note." He got up and walked to the phone. I listened to him talk on the phone. "Yes sir. I will. Ok goodbye sir!" he said and hung up. He walked back to me.
"When do you leave?" I asked fingering my ring.
"This weekend." He replied and walked out. He trusted me enough to be left alone in his house. He knew I wouldn't bother anything. But I did this time, I walked up and read the letter.
"Dear Mr. Cullen
We need you to serve in the military please call this number and get the information on when you need to show up."
I put the letter down and started crying. He would be gone for so long. How would we ever get married?
"Oh forgot my jacket." He said walking in. he looked up and saw me crying. "Bella what's wrong?"
"Nothing." I said and he walked over to me.
"Bella I know you better than that. What's wrong?" he asked pulling me into him. He did know me better.
"This letter. Edward when will we ever get married?"
"Bella, don't worry about it. We'll figure out something. Don't worry" he said and started humming the lullaby he wrote for me.
"Ok." I said and gave him a kiss. "Good bye." I said and he walked off. I walked over to his fridge and found a picture of us on his counter. I picked it up and saw that it was the time we went to the carnival when we were teenagers. So much had changed since then. I put it down and opened his fridge. I pulled out some bread and cheese and started eating, he wouldn't mind me taking some of his food. I went and sat in his living room and saw that on top of the TV was a picture we recently took at the mall. I couldn't think about him going into the military, it was constantly on my mind. I decided that I should probably go to work myself and walked out into the drizzling rain.
Friday before Edward goes into the military!
"Bella, can we just spend the day together?" Edward asked me.
"I don't know." I said.
"I'm leaving tomorrow!" he whined, he was standing at my door at 11 AM.
"FINE!" I said and walked out.
"Where do you wanna go?" he asked.
"How about to the mall? They have the carnival!" I said and he smiled. I would miss that smile.
"Yeah! Sure, let's go. You want some cotton candy?"
"Edward I haven't eaten cotton candy since I was 13."
"Gasp!" he yelled, he had picked that up from me. I wrapped my arm around his waist and tickled him.
"You making fun of me?" I yelled and tickled him more.
"Of course not! I would never do that to my girlfriend!" he yelled and pulled me to the ground and started tickling me on my stomach!
"Edward! Stop!" I yelled through laughter.
"Why?" he yelled and let me up. I laughed so hard that I was crying.
"You have a red face." I noted and he started laughing some more. I leaned in and kissed him.
"I love you." He said
"I love you too. You better keep in contact!" I said and pushed him.
"Oh you know I was thinking about losing touch all together!" he said and my face must have been funny because he started laughing. "I was kidding."
"Oh." Was all I said. "Let's go to the mall!" I grabbed his hand and we walked off to the carnival hand in hand. It was so perfect.
At the carnival he won me a stuffed panda bear.
"I love it!" I said and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"I told you I could get it!" he said and wrapped his arm around my waist.
"Yeah, after $10!" I said and wrapped my arm around him. "But I don't care! Thank you!"
"Yeah, you should win me something!" he said and walked over to the hardest booth. It was the one where you had to get a bouncy ball into a bottle.
"This one really?" I asked
"Yes you can do it!" he yelled and pushed me forward.
"The little lady wanna try her luck?" the man at the booth asked.
"She sure does!" Edward yelled and bought me 5 bouncy balls. "You can do it!" he said rubbing my arms. I threw the first bouncy balls at a bottle and missed.
"Oh try again!" the man said.
"You can do it!" Edward said. I tried again and missed. "Keep trying!" Edward yelled rubbing my back.
"I can't do it!" I complained and turned to him. He made me face the bottles again and handed me my third ball.
"You can do it!" he was still holding the third ball. "Third times the charm?" he asked and I nodded.
"Third times the charm!" I replied and threw the ball and made it into a bottle.
"You did it!" Edward said wrapping his arms around my waist and picking me up and spinning me around.
"She sure did. What's her prize?" the man asked.
"The heart!" I said and got it. "Here you go!" I said and handed it to Edward.
"Thanks!" he said and wrapped his arm around my neck. "Let's go!" he said and pulled me off.
"Well have you had enough fun for the day?" I asked and he smiled.
"Nope!"
"Nope?"
"Come on!" he said grabbing my hand and pulled me along. I finally saw what he was pulling us to.
"A painter?" I asked a little annoyed. "Really?"
"Yeah, we can get a portrait of us. I want a picture of us." He said
"Why not just take a picture?" I asked and he looked hurt.
"Because! I have tons of pictures!" he said acting like a little kid.
"Okay come on!" I said and we went to the painter.
"Pretty lady!" he said.
"Thanks!" I said and Edward and I sat down. Edward has his arm around my waist and my head was lying on his shoulder. 30 minutes later Edward paid the painter and got the picture.
"Can we get some cotton candy for old times sake?"
"Edward it's really hot! Can't we go swimming?"
"nah, let's just go home." He said and pulled me along. We walked by a lake and people that walked past mumbled things like, "Remember when we were in love like that?" I saw that the lake wasn't dangerous so I decided to have some fun with Edward.
"Hey can I hold everything?" I asked innocently.
"Yeah sure." Making sure he had nothing left I pushed him into the lake. He came up and gasped. "What was that for?"
"Cause it's hot!" I said and started running. He jumped out and ran after me, he caught up and grabbed me.
"Edward no!" I yelled seeing what he was going to do. He pushed me into the river right when a policeman was walking by.
"You shouldn't treat her that way sir." The police officer said and I held back laughing. Edward didn't say anything but when the police officer was out of hearing I started laughing.
"You are so mean Bella." Edward said taking his shirt off and jumping in. "I love you." He said and splashed water at me. I went underwater and grabbed him by his ankles and pulled him in.
"That's why you love me! Because I'm so mean!" I said when we both got up.
"Let's go." Edward said getting out and not bothering to put his shirt back on, he was so cruel to young single girls. He walked me to my house and kissed me lightly.
"Come over for dinner." He said, it wasn't a question.
"I will." I said and he walked off. I wouldn't even let myself think about the next day, I was living in the moment.
A/N: Like? Should I continue? I was going to make this a one-shot, but after writing I may make it a little longer, maybe 5 chapters at the most. Maybe 4. it won't be long like my other stories. Anyway I hope you like it!
