Hi everyone!
I have so many people to thank for kicking my ass to get this story going again. First mamacat, who was most amazing reviewer of this story. Every quote for each chapter is strictly for you and I promise to mention Yogi Bera as much as I can. Huge thank you's to stephk0525 and IdPattThat for prereading. Huge props to Yellowglue (yes, that yellowglue. One of the biggest sweethearts in the fandom) for prereading and and helping me make this even more angsty. Browns_TBG beta'd this extensive prelude. Now my A/N is as long as my actual chapter.
I don't have a posting schedule, but the first ten chapters are done, they just need to be revved up on angst and good old fashioned beta job.
I can't wait to hear your thoughts!
Much thanks to everyone.
Here we go...
"Every day is a new opportunity. You can build on yesterday's success or put its failures behind and start over again. That's the way life is, with a new game every day, and that's the way baseball is."-Bob Feller, Pitcher, 1918.
Edward blankly stared out his window, unable to move. The scene he'd stumbled upon running on repeat through his mind. He'd realized his mistake, but he was clearly too late.
"I know we've just come back into each other's lives, but that doesn't mean I don't love you and I will do what it takes to make sure you're happy. You're incredibly important to me, Bella."
"You're important to me, too. I'm sorry you have to see me like this," she replied with a sniffled. "I love you too, Em. Thank you for everything." There was a moment of silence and Edward peaked through the crack in the door. The sight caught him completely off guard. Emmett McCarty was kissing Bella's hair and rubbing her back, her head resting on his chest. The intimacy of the moment was too much for Edward to handle, so he turned around and drove, his body on autopilot, the entire way home.
His body on autopilot, he turned around and headed home, not feeling the wheel beneath his hands. He sighed. "She's moved on."
