Another Life
I look at the club doors. I could hear the strong beat even out on the street. I sigh as I walk towards the club; of all the places Alice would want to meet. I nod to the bouncer as I show him my ID, and step through the doors. "Edward up here" I hear Alice's Voice in my mind, over the loud drum of voices screaming in my head. I hated these places, too many people.
I go to walk up the stairs to Alice when it hits me. I freeze snapping my head to the crowd. "No..."
Alice walks up to me "What?"
I look at her angry. "She's here."
Alice's eyes widen in fear. "Oh Edward! I didn't know, has she seen us yet?"
I look out to the floor and see the crowd part slightly. It had five years from the last moment I had saw that face. Those beautiful eyes, those lips, those hips. I felt myself take a step forward, when I noticed for the first time what she was connected to. She swayed her hips into the boy she held onto, he smiled at her with a dark smile. "God she's hot tonight. How the hell did I land her?" I rolled my eyes. What was she doing here? I thought I'd never see her again, but yet here she was, looking back at me. My Bella.
Alice pulled me towards the door, "Come on Edward; She can't see us."
I pulled my arm from her. "No, this is where you wanted to hang out. We'll hang out." I turned around and walked up the stairs to the VIP deck. "Plus, she looks pretty occupied with the blond."
I sat and watched her. She was laughing up a storm and throwing her body into his. She looked so happy; so care free, so safe.
She looked a lot different. She had shorter hair and was dressed different; She had on a short black mini skirt and hot red tank top. She looked great, or as the pee brained boy put it; HOT. I glared at him; he didn't deserve to touch her, yet alone do the things they had done together.
I thought back to 5 years ago. I had walked out on her; the hardest thing I had ever done to her. But we had to, she wasn't safe and it was breaking our family up. I had to leave; I had fought myself for years, every time I had wanted to come back and had never done it. This was the closest to Forks I had been in 5 years. Alice was living in Seattle with Jasper; I was on my way back to Alaska. Alice had begged me to come meet her here. I never would have been here if I had known.
I looked back at her as the song changed. I closed my eyes sharply as she pulled the boy into a deep kiss, and started pulling him away from the floor. The thoughts in his mind: foreshadowing the night. I growled deeply.
I had no right to be mad; this is what I wanted. She had moved on and she was happy. I looked out at the crowd of humans pressed up against one another, the thought of pleasure running amok.
I stood quickly and grabbed Alice's hand. "Ok we're leaving."
She stood up next to me and nodded. "I really am sorry."
I simply shook my head. "It's fine; let's just go."
I walked into the parking lot next to the club and stopped dead. A couple leaned up against the car, locked in a close embrace. I stared at Bella shocked. This was not happening; I had to get out of here and now. I made a mad dash for my car when suddenly the two parted and the boy looked at me. I froze where I stood. I willed Bella not to look at me.
As if on cue she looked right at me. I watched the color drain from her face; then slow as it managed to glare darker than I had ever seen from her. She grabbed the boy's hand "Let's go."
The boy looked at me. "Do you know him?"
She nodded. "That was another life. I said let's go." She got into the driver's side and turned on the car. The boy looked at me again, then slowly moved to the passenger's side. "Wonder if that's the ex that she left Forks over."
I felt my heart swell and break in one movement. I had truly hurt her. I looked up as she swung the car around and nearly hit me. I jumped back onto my car. I watched her death glare as she sped off.
