Chapter 1: Crying Alone

Isabella Swan was a good person. Honestly! She never stole, cheated or killed from, on or even tried on anybody. But this, this was getting on her last nerves. It's the 5th night in a row that Edward hasn't come home for dinner nor has he called to apologize. Edward has been like a machine lately, getting up at 6 in the morning and comes home at between 9 to 11 o'clock at night.

It wasn't always like this. She could remember up until 6 months ago, she and her husband would sit together to have dinner. Now, 1 week before Christmas, she barely sees her husband.

Edward Cullen was having a great day. It was the first day in 5 long days that he would get to go home early and spend time with his lovely wife and he would've been able to if only he'd gotten out of the door, and into his car, 10 seconds earlier.

"Cullen!" He heard the chief called.

"Yes, sir?" He replied going back through the door and into the reception area

"Where are you going?"

"Well, I was going home, but if you need me for something…" He said while praying quietly that there was nothing the chief needed from him.

"I just thought that with solo surgery coming up, you'd want to scrub in with Dr. Nichols, but if you want to go, be my guest" The chief said walking away.

It would have ended there, if only Edward would just walk out that door, but of course, it was a great opportunity to see Dr. Nichols operating as practice for solo surgery. Heck, Bella wouldn't mind. If she had, she would've said something by now.

Carlisle Cullen didn't like this. He's seen Edward's car in the hospital for 5 nights in a row before he's gone home, which means Edward was working late, again.

Poor Bella must be all alone in their new house. Maybe he should ask her to move back in for a while. He knows that he should support his son and that this was important to Edward's career, but it's about time he scheduled an intervention.

'I love Edward' Bella chanted for about a million times. It just gets so lonely without him. She just wants to go back to when everything was still fun in the sun. She just wants to cry, and cry she did, as she blew out the candle on their dining room table, turned off the lights and headed upstairs, to the new room and new bed that she barely spent a month on with Edward and wished that sleep will take her.
