Beyond Repair
Life was good, well; at least I thought it was. I had a loving family, amazing boyfriend,
and so many friends. It was just some normal Monday morning when I woke for
school when I heard hushed voices in the next room. Still trying to gain consciousness I
struggled to listen. All I could make out were low murmurs and whispers. I just
brushed it off and got up for school figuring it was nothing of importance.
This year I'm a senior at Forks High school so I was secretly hoping that none of my
new teachers would like me so that I wouldn't have to talk in front of the class or
anything. As I was making this stupid little wish I knew wouldn't come true I hopped
into the shower. I slid into my usual morning routine hair, face, breakfast, then back to
the bathroom to brush my teeth. This only took me about 30 minutes to do so I had as
much time as I needed to get to school. I had decided to go casual for school, as usual.
I knew not to expect it but I couldn't help it as I glanced out the window. Edward, my
boyfriend was of course waiting there to pick me up for school in his shiny silver Volvo.
I was just wondering when the day would come that he wouldn't be there. I couldn't
bear even the thought. As I walked up to him he said "my Bella, you look absolutely
stunning." I, of course blushed violently and said under my breath "bias". I couldn't
help but stare at him. The fact that he was just so gorgeous made my heart flutter. He
smiled back and winked at me.
The first day of school is always the worst. We found our way to our classes in no time
though. Edward wiped his soft, warm hand on my cheek and pulled a strand of my long
brown hair behind my ear. My heart felt like it was going to explode, the way it always
did when he touched me. "See you at lunch" he yelled. Of course I knew he wasn't
kidding. My day went by so slowly as I counted the minutes until lunch. When it finally
came I almost ran to the cafeteria and my heart skipped a beat when I saw his table
was empty. I turned and as always he was sitting a table motioning for me to come sit
with him. "I bought you some food he said as he was chewing on a piece of celery." I
just beamed at him with my stupid smile. "So how was your day" Edward asked. I went
through the motions of my entire day to him excluding the time when I tripped on the
sidewalk. The rest of lunch went by perfectly mostly because Edward was there
encouraging me to keep talking and rambling about my day. Then I was sad when the
bell rang. "Don't worry" Edward whispered "I'll be here to pick you up later" and he
kissed my cheek and ran off towards building 5. I floated through the motions of the
rest of my day without really noticing what I was doing.
After school Edward told me he needed to tell me something and that we should talk
about it over dinner. I was thrilled any time with Edward was absolutely amazing. Even
though his face had worried look in it, I brushed it off as I made plans to what I would
wear.
We went to this fancy restaurant out of town and ordered expensive food. Finally when
I got the courage I asked "what did you want to talk to me about?" He waited for
what seemed like an hour as he chewed his food and said. "Apparently World War III
has begun." I was shocked "what?" I said in my most steady voice I could. "And since
I'm eighteen now they will be recruiting soldiers". I felt like I was going to throw up.
This wasn't happening. "b-b-but you can't leave me!" I stammered. "It seems like I
have no choice." I wanted to run and hide, and to take Edward with me, but his mind
looked set. "Soon I will go off to fight overseas" he said quietly. I could feel my eyes
welling up with tears as he stood up. "No I said don't leave me." He looked at me and
said "Bella love, I won't be gone forever." The tears were streaming down my face
when I dared to ask the question
"when are you leaving?" He hesitated then said "two weeks." I just nodded, that's all I
could do without making a scene in the restaurant. "I want to go home now" I choked
out. Edward just put some bills on the table and walked me outside.
