I would just like to say this is my first fan fiction ever and that there may be a few grammar mistakes and a few errors because i have no Beta. I have had this story in mind for quite some time now. I have been very eager to let others experience the story as well. The summary is not a very good description of what this story has in store for you. There is a little angst for I think all story's need a little to keep it realistic. This is a very rough draft of my first chapter. I'm already working on my 2nd and hope to get out by tomorrow. Please let me know what you think be leaving a review and if you think I should continue. Thank You
'MY MOTHER DROVE ME TO THE AIRPORT WITH THE windows rolled down. It was seventy-five degrees in Phoenix, the sky a perfect, cloudless blue. I was wearing my favorite shirt-sleeveless, white eyelet lace; I was wearing it as a farewell gesture. My carry- on item was a parka."
'Isabella you have a call on line two." "Thanks Stacy." I quickly closed out the email of my new editing assignment on a book called "Twilight." I picked up the phone on my desk answering with the same greeting I gave to everyone who called me at my work. " New York Book and Co. top book editing company in the state this is Isabella Maria Swan speaking, how may I help you?"
"Bella!" My sister Jessica screamed through her onslaught of tears. "Hey Jess what's wrong" I answered with concern, my sister very rarely called me at work especially in the state she was in now. "Mike, Mike" she sobbed, "Mike left"." He said that it's over, he wants a…divorce" She said in a broken voice. Quickly leaving my desk I went into the break room before continuing on with what I was going to say. "Jess, calm down everything's going to be okay." "I will get off work early and go pick up some food and meet you at your house, so you can tell me what happened. Sound good?" I said in a desperate attempt to calm down and assure her. "Yeah, I will see you soon." She said through her tears before she quickly hung up.
I sighed through frustration. I knew this was coming I knew there marriage was in trouble last time I went over for dinner. I even tried to give her some sense of warning, but she refused to believe me. She said her marriage was perfectly fine, and they promised to be together forever. She said there was no need to worry, they loved each other. What little that promise meant now a days. Today apparently forever meant nothing, marriage meant nothing. That's at least the way I saw it.
"Isabella?" James one of my coworkers quickly brought me out of my thought. 'Oh James, how are you" I said, out of simply being polite. "I'm good thank you, how are you. You seemed a bit stressed." He said as he eased his way closer to me, placing his hand on top of mine. 'I'm fine, thank you. Just some family drama' I casually brought my hand out from under his and ran it through my hair. As to not hurt his feelings, although I have been becoming quite tired of his constant attempt to flirt with me. I have clearly rejected him in every polite way I know how. 'Oh, Do you want to talk about it?" He replied with a small spark of hope in his eyes. "Actually, I have to get back to my desk so I can close up. I told my sister I would meet up with her later." His face fell a little as he turned away and quietly mumbled, "Okay, see you later."
I let out a breathe of relief. I hated having to deal with that every day. I never wanted to hurt his feelings but it was becoming quite tiresome. I left the break room and went to my desk and quickly packed up. I left my office and headed out the building to the Chinese Cuisine food place next door. I ordered everything on the menu as I carried my bags out on to the streets of New York. I decided to walk to my sister's instead of taking a cab she only lived a few blocks from here and I could use a nice walk to clear my head and, prepare myself for the onslaught of emotion I'm about to face.
Walking down the street I passed one of my favorite coffee shops. I decided I could use a nice coffee and so could my sister. I entered the coffee shop making my way over to the rather long line. As I was standing in line i felt a tap on my shoulder from behind. I looked behind me to find a drop dead gorgeous man in a white long doctors coat. He had magnificent brown hair. That looked to have a few bronze streaks throughout. His hair looked perfectly tousled on top of his head. His jaw was so sharp it looked like it could cut through glass. "Um Miss?" I brought myself back together and looked back up to his beautiful green emerald eyes as blush rose to my cheeks. Embarrassed that he just caught me staring at him. "Yes?" I said in a polite tone. "I was wondering if it would be okay if i cut in front of you. For i am running very late and I need to get back to my shift as soon as possible". I was mesmerized by his velvet voice and the way his lips moved when he spoke that i didn't even comprehend all that he was telling me. I remember him saying something about needing to jump ahead of me. So i gave him a quick nod and said "Of course". He looked relived as he quickly went up to the register and ordered his coffee. As he was leaving he said a quick thank you and then walked out the door. I stood there in line still partially stunned by his presence. I saw a hand wave in front of my face and looked over to see a old women with a look of annoyance on her face and told me that i was next in line. I walked up to the cash register and ordered a Vanilla Mocha. I went to receive my wallet out of my purse when the the young girl working cash register told me with a scowl that the man in front of me payed for my coffee and asked her to give me this. She brought out a business card that had a little note written on it.
Thanks - Edward
I shoved the note in my purse grabbed my coffee and walked out of the coffee shop with the biggest smile ever, and continued smiling all the way to my sisters house.I arrived at my sister's house fairly quickly. When I opened the door I was brought on by complete silence. I walked to the kitchen placing my purse and the coffee on the counter. I began wondering through the house yelling out her name "Jess" nothing. "Jess!" I yelled again this time a little louder, again nothing. I finally reached her room to find her sitting on her bed curled up staring at he fireplace in complete silence. "Jess?" I said again and again nothing. I started to become worried as I climbed over to the bed and sat down beside her. "Jess, look at me what's wrong" and once again nothing. "JESS!" I screamed hoping to get her attention. It worked; she silently turned her head and looked at me.
I was becoming frantic because my sister who is constantly full of joy, life and love. Looked at me with a facial expression that held none of that. She looked dead. "Jess, are you okay, what happened?" I asked as my eyes started to well up with tears. I had only seen this facial expression on my sister face once. When she had learned that are dad left our mom and us. So this must be bad. All she said was a mumbled "forever". "Forever?" "Jess I don't understand what about forever?" I asked as I tried to read her face for some sign of what she meant. Then it hit me, forever, must be what he told her or what she thought it was going to be. I reached over and gave her the biggest hug I could muster. "I'm so sorry Jess, I'm so sorry" I repeated as she silently cried in my arms.
I held her and whispered out my apologies as she silently cried murmuring out "forever" for hours. Then I felt her slow even breaths and realized she must have fallen asleep. It was at that moment holding my heartbroken sister. That i was brought back into the reality of what love really is, and was reminded once again on why i never get myself into relationships. Also why i can never call any amazingly sexy hot doctors, because this is all it leads to heartbreak.
I silently cried myself to sleep by my sister as I came to realization with something I already knew, love hurts and no one is strong enough to bear the pain that comes with it. No one.
