- Chapter 1 -
You've Been Away
BPOV
I woke up to reality, lying in the middle of a roof top car park in the middle of nowhere, curled up in the well known fetal position. I had been lying there for what seemed like minutes on end; yes, only minutes, as I had been in the deepest motions of thought, and hours pass like minutes being a vampire and all.
Moving only slightly so I was lying on my back, I stared blankly at the sky, and noticed the first star and then all the other single illuminations that took place not long after; constellations flicking their switches on for the world to see their absolute, simple beauty.
In just under an hour there were millions of little L.E.D lights in the sky, slightly flickering and sparkling; even though I and the others of my kind could see millions more than the average eyesight of a human.
I lay there watching the universe go about its business for hours. I could do it for a year and not become bored to the point of tears. Tears. Tears… No, not literal tears but the thought of them mingled with my sadness, loneliness… Which was what had brought me to this place, to this roof top car park, the fact that I still had a night till he was back; well that's what I was hoping.
I hear footsteps stop behind me and slightly to the left hand side, about two metres back from my eyelevel. I didn't feel threatened; I thought of only one vampire who was able to relieve the emptiness inside of me; and know he was here, the emptiness was almost filled.
In the next second, two things happened; the vampire had moved to my side and stood there, and secondly my eyes caught sight of the feet that carried the rhythmical footsteps; my eyes caught sight of the feet that were enclosed in the most beaten up converse I'd ever seen. I'd taught my husband, Mr. Edward Cullen well (too well), as his converse were more beaten up then mine, a task that was extremely difficult, but Edward being Edward, always found a way of overcoming any obstacle.
We didn't say anything. There were no words that described the feelings that were running through my veins, which I was sure he was feeling too. None could describe the emptiness being momentarily filled, simply by the presence of the other. He lay down beside me swiftly, and we both automatically delved into the depths of each other's liquid gold eyes. It was unequivocally necessary. I couldn't, for the existence of me remember why I was on this rooftop car park, especially with those liquid gold eyes pouring their love and adoration into mine. And I, of course, returned the favour with no choice in the matter. It was a paranormal feeling, which had no words to describe it; no one could ever comprehend the way in which we chose to communicate. We both tended to unleash the depth of our eyes on the other, always at the same time, and would just read the emotions that were swimming in them.
I had to turn away from our communication. The pain that had filled me for the last couple of days, even though it had been practically erased, came back into me, even though he had warmed me with his very presence. This time it was only subtly, but still it was there. I thought about something to say, it wouldn't be a question, more of a statement of fact. I ransacked every inch of my brain and settled on three words, three words that would maybe block his train of thought…
"You've been away" I whispered as I brought my fingers up to trace a line along his cheek bone and then down his jaw line, like Edward often did to me – thought I'd give him a taste of his own medicine – and then faced him, being careful not to look in his eyes. If I did, he would win. Again. He always did if I just looked into those mesmerizing, golden eyes.
"As you have been too" he murmured back, in his velvety, musical voice that would have got my heart racing if it was still possible – obviously I still needed to work on stopping his train of thought, without using "I needed to figure something out, clear my mind", because he always had some witty reprimand.
"I could have helped with that" rolling over further and placing a light kiss on the tip of his nose, while simultaneously hitching my leg over his hips. I tried to make sure I pulled away quickly. However, before I could pull my face away, Edward, in return licked the tip of my nose momentarily, something he knew I found, surprisingly irresistible.
Obviously my irritation with him had dulled; my irritation of him leaving me with Emmett, for the weekend - the one and only prankster big brother, that never lets an opportunity, like the one just passed, go amiss. Yet, why I was still feeling irritated, I could not figure out as the time I had with Emmett was more enjoyable for me than him; something that was hard to do.
We lay there for another immeasurable amount of time. We spent lots of these moments when in the presence of each other. It was almost awkward, the silence that was enrobing us. He could tell I was hiding something from him, but was obviously deciding against asking in fear of what I may do, especially after he'd left me for three days.
I broke it off, before it totally captured us with a whisper of "In your 3 days of absence, Emmett decided" – shock planted squared on Edward's face, preventing him from interrupting – "that him and I needed a little bonding time, you know, 'little sis with big bro' as he put it. So, I took the opportunity, knowing that if I didn't do anything constructive, I would most certainly end up wallowing in the emptiness that immediately surrounded me in your departure."
Edward hissed, "What on earth did that beef brain want with my outrageously gorgeous angel?", then louder, "Did he hurt you, because if he did then grizzly bears will be teddy bears in comparison to what will be awaiting him. I knew I shouldn't have left you alone with him while everyone was out. I just knew there was a reasoning behind the thoughts he was emitting before I ran. Ran until I felt the need to stop..."
While all of this was being said I had been placed in his lap and he was comforting me by placing little kisses in my hair while tracing lines down my spine very gently – so he was just plain distracting when I was about to confess the amount of fun I had treating Emmett to some of his own medicine.
"What? No. I actually was glad that Rosalie and Alice had decided to take our daughter on a shopping trip, and that they designated Jacob as the packhorse. And the fact that Jasper went hunting with Carlise and Esme, and that you needed to clear your head, otherwise, I would have missed out on tormenting my big brother which, besides you, is the most fun I have had in ages. Now, before I continue spilling things about my adventures with Emmett, what were you saying?" and to put the cherry on top I smiled the biggest grin I could possibly manage, knowing that the second I did, Edward would be wanting me to dish out every little detail and secret that had passed Emmett's lips in the absence of everyone else.
"So, want to hear the exciting things that I did to torment that lovely Emmett?" I said in an excited whisper into his ear, quickly nipping his earlobe between my teeth – another taste of his own medicine,
I expected something like 'HELL YES', something different to the reaction I received.
ENJOY IT?
