Delicate Hearts
Ch 1: Signs
She was dreaming, she was sure of it. She was in a meadow, their meadow. Her's and Edward's. She knew it was a dream because everything was far too bright. Edward was standing by a tree, the too-bright sun sparkling off his face. She began to walk towards him. However, as she got closer, he suddenly turned around and walked away. Confused, she stopped for a minute. But when he didn't return, she went in the woods and searched for him. She called out his name over and over, but no answer. She stood still for a minute, why would he walk away from her?
"Bella."
She turned as she heard her name. Not because it was Edward, but a voice she wasn't expecting. When she turned he was standing right behind her.
"Jacob?"
She woke with a start. What the hell was that?, she thought. She looked at the time, Edward would be here in an hour. It was Saturday, she was going over them. Cullen's house. She got out of be and started getting ready.
When she walked downstairs, the house was quiet, so she guessed Charlie was at work. She got something to eat. Twenty minutes later, the doorbell rang. Edward was smiling at her. Then he pulled her close and kissed her.
"I missed you last night," she said.
"Sorry love," Edward said. "I was hunting."
"I know."
He kissed her again.
"Ready to go?" He asked.
They walked out to the silver Volvo in the driveway. Edward opened her door for her and got in. They drove to the house and got out the car. But then Edward pulled her towards him.
"Lets got to our meadow," he said then threw her on his back.
She kept her head down so the wind wouldn't whiplash her face. When they reached the trees outside the meadow, he put her down. He took her hand and they walked the rest of the way.
He let go of her hand and dropped on his back on the meadow floor. He let out an exasperated sigh. She sat down next to him.
"What is it?" she asked.
"We're going out of town for a few days," Edward said with his eyes shut'.
"For?" Bella asked. He didn't answer. "Your not going to tell me are you?" Bella said.
Edward shook his head.
Bella remained silent.
Edward opened his eyes and sat up.
"I'm sorry," Edward said. "If you want me to stay I will."
Bella shook her head. "No, go. Whatever it is its important enough not to tell me." she said.
He caressed her cheek.
"I love you, Bella."
"I love you too."
Then he kissed her. It was a long intense kiss.
"I have to go," Edward said.
"Already?" Bella said.
"Yeah," Edward said. "I'm sorry."
They went back to the house and got in the car. Edward drove her back home.
"When will you come back?" Bella asked.
"I don't know." Edward said.
Bella frowned. She didn't want to be away from him for too long.
"I'll come back for you before you know it," he promised then he kissed her.
She got out the car and watched him drive off. Well, that was weird. She walked up the driveway and into the house. When she reached her room, she stopped in the doorway.
"Hey honey."
