More Than A Friendship

Chapter 1

Here I am fighting over if I should go see my best friend Edward because he is going through some rough times with his girlfriend when I should be studying for the big History test tomorrow. I got tired of trying to study so I just toss the book away. I got out my phone and decided to call him and see how things are going. Then I dialed his number and again nothing on the other end so I got up and decided to go straight to his house in Charleston where he and his girlfriend Victoria stayed. When I got there, there was no lights on so I proceeded to get out the car and go see if anybody was there. When I got to the front door I knocked a few times and nothing. Then I realized there was a note on the door. It said:

To whom this may concern, I'm sorry that I'm not home. I'm at my parent's house right now and won't be back for a while due to personal problems, so if you need to talk to me then please come see me.

Sincerely,

Edward Cullen

I was really shocked. I quickly got in my car and went straight to where his parents lived to see what was wrong. When I got there, I quickly ran to the door and knocked I few times. The door opened and Esme appeared. Her face lighted up so much then she said "Oh my god, is it really you Bella? I haven't seen you in forever! Not to be rude but why are you here?" "Yes it's me and I'm here to check on Edward. I went to his house and he left a note saying he was here dealing with some personal problems so I wanted to see how he was doing." "Of course please come inside." She ushered be in quickly. The house looked exactly the same since I've been here before. I went into the living room to find a depressed and crying Edward on the couch. Esme introduced myself before I had a chance to speak. She said "Edward, look whose here! It's your long time best friend!" He looked like he really didn't care at all and said "Mom, I don't care the only person that will cheer up is the person who I deeply loved." I was devastated as I realized that Victoria had left him. Esme said " Well fine, if you don't want to see Bella then I will tell her to leave." as soon as she said that Edward's head shot up and saw mw and I cheerfully said " Hi Edward! It's me Bella your bff." He quickly ran over to me and gave me a bear hug. He nearly screaming said " I can't believe it's really you Bella." " Yep it's me Bella." "I'm so glad you came! I was about to call you because I really needed to talk to someone." Then he looked at Esme and said " No offense mom but Bella's my best friend and I really wanted to talk to her." "none taking son. I will leave you two alone. Just yell if you need me. I'll be in the kitchen." With that she left. Edward dragged me to the couch and we sat down. I wanted to ask him the burning question that I had for a while now. He didn't speak so I asked " Edward what's going on? I you don't answer any of my calls and you look like you want to die." "Well Bella I really do actually. That's why I wanted to talk to you Bella. See Victoria had breast cancer and died last night."
