Waiting For A Lifetime
Prologue
'Okay, I can do this,' I told myself. But how? They were back here, somewhere I thought they would never come back to, two hundred years after he left me. To the very day. I should have been dead by now. Maybe that's the only reason they came back, because I should be dead by now. It didn't matter, anymore, anyway. He didn't love me, and I didn't…..
Oh who am I kidding? I still loved him. Even after two hundred years, I still loved him. But the true question was, did he still just "love me in a way" like he'd said all those years ago when he left me, standing there in the middle of the forest?
I didn't know and I didn't really want to find out. Yet, at least. But if they were going to be here, then how was I going to avoid the inevitable, in the form of Edward Anthony Masen Cullen?
No doubt, Jasper could feel my mixture of emotions, flowing so quickly from one to another. I sent him an apology wave, and he nodded just slightly, just enough that unless someone was paying very close attention, it wouldn't have been seen. But Alice had noticed, and no doubt, Alice could see something happening already, something that I wasn't fully sure I even wanted yet.
But the real question: What do I want?
I gathered myself together, sighed and said, "I'm going hunting, Meli. I have my phone." And quickly walked out the door.
But not so quick enough that I didn't feel someone following me.
