I don't own Twilight or the characters.
Summary : The Cullens left. Two years later Bella isnt the same girl that they left behind. She closes herself off and refuse to let herself feel, for fear of getting hurt. How does she handle the Cullens returning, forcing her to deal with her feelings.
Two years, it's been two years since I've seen any of the Cullens. Two Christmas's, two Thanksgiving's, two Easter's, two birthdays, etc.. Every time I hear the saying absence makes the heart grow fonder, I want to laugh. They make it sound like absence is this good thing; they leave out the pain, loneliness, and tears. Out of the two years they have been gone, I spent 1 ½ of them wishing they would come back, but now I couldn't care less if they came back or not. People would call me cold, but I'm not I'm just tired of being disappointed.
The Cullen's leaving didn't only change me, it changed my life. I am currently living in Seattle. I couldn't bring myself to move too far away from home. I tell people that it's because I wanted to stay close to my dad, but the real reason I moved here was because I wanted to be close to Forks just in case they came back.
I wouldn't say my life was good, I guess I would say that it's bearable. I go to college in the mornings and work as a waitress in a diner in the late afternoons and evenings. I have a fiancé; I know your probably thinking that's a good thing but it's not. My fiancé is an asshole, I don't love him. You're probably thinking then why the hell are you marrying him. I'm marrying him because I won't get hurt with him. Ever since the Cullen's left I did everything I could to distance myself from people. I found that if you don't open up, if you don't get hurt.
"Bella." said my annoyingly idiotic boss Richard.
"Yes, Richard?" I asked, not even bothering to turn around.
"I need you to train two new waitresses." he said.
"Were getting more waitresses?" I asked. It was about time we got some more help around here. Richard liked to pile work on the little employees that he had.
"Ya, were getting two new waitress's, two busboys, and a cook." he said.
"When are they coming in?" I asked.
"They should be here any minute. I told them to ask for you, so you wouldn't have to look for them." he said.
"Thanks, that was nice." I said. I knew he wasn't doing it to be nice; he was trying to get on my good side, so he had a better chance of getting into my pants.
"Anything for you Bella." he said while one of his greasy hands moved a piece of hair out of my face. Ewww, I'm going to have to disinfect that piece now.
"You know what? I'm going to and see if their here yet." I said, in an attempt to get away from him. The funny part is that he is the better kind of guys that we get here. Well I guess it's not really funny, but you need something to laugh about or you would go crazy here.
"Hey Marissa. Has anyone asked for me yet?" I asked. Marissa was the only decent person here. She was in college as well and couldn't find any where else to work like me.
"No, not yet." she said not even looking up from here book.
"Alright, thanks anyways." I said as I made my way to the back of the diner. I didn't get far before I heard it.
"Excuse me, were looking for Isabella Swan, were new here." said a voice that sounded exactly like Alice. I was frozen in my spot. What were they doing here? Shitt, this wasn't going to be fun.
What do you guys think? I really like this idea, but I'm going to base whether I continue it on the response I get for it. Review and tell me if I should continue. =)
