Never Too Late
Edward knew he made the right decision to leave Bella in Forks while he and his family relocated in Paris, France. He knew the life changing experience would let him forget about his love. They moved into a charming, little cottage right outside the big city. The house was covered in decorous flowers that had a brilliant aroma. The interior was very cozy with a wood fireplace in the corner of the living room and bright yellow kitchen that, of course, wouldn't be used that often.
"Hey Edward, are you just gunna stand there, or are you gunna help me carry in some of these boxes," his brother Emmet shouted from a distance. "Yeah, I'll be right there." He walked down the cobblestone path to the moving truck and grabbed a few boxes full of their new furniture. Esme, the mother, had suggested they get a fresh start on life and get some new décor to go with the house. Plus, all of their old, modern possessions would not match their new, intimate bungalow. Edward carried in the couch then climbed the tiny staircase up to his bedroom. He went to the window and opened it. He looked down to see his joyful family moving in all the furnishings. When he looked around his bantam room he noticed a box of all his CD's. They reminded him of the days he would just sit in his room with Bella and listen. She made his heart drop just thinking about her.
"Knock Knock, Edward? Are you in here? I brought your new desk and computer up," his father, Carlisle, called from the other side of the door.
"Yeah, I'm in here. Let me help you with that."
"Thanks son. I'm getting to old for this."
"Good one dad," Edward laughed knowing that his father could never get any older.
"I also brought this newspaper up, so you can find a job knowing that you're going to want to be doing something in your free time, aside from school," he pronounced, while leaving the room. Edward looked at the paper. Barely making out any words because he only knew a little French. He looked at the "Travail" page, knowing that it meant jobs and started scanning the page until he saw the words "Cahier Provisions Employé" and right away he knew it meant "Book Store Clerk" He grabbed a highlighter and circled the words then dropped the paper on the ground and headed downstairs.
At the end of the staircase he saw all his siblings, Emmet, Rosalie, Jasper, and Alice, on the couch in the couch in the living room watching some show on the discovery channel.
"Hey I think I found a new job I think I might look in to," Edward said even though he knew nobody would really care.
"What is it?" Alice questioned not looking away from the TV.
"Well there's this bookstore in town and I think I'm going to go over there tomorrow afternoon to see if I can get a job, ya know, to take my mind off things." Alice knew exactly what "things" he was talking about. Everyone knew it would be hard for Edward to move away from Bella knowing that he was not completely over her, and he probably never will be.
"Good for you!" Alice said cheerfully while nudging Jasper, Edward's other brother.
"Yeah, good for you." Jasper murmured sarcastically.
