Hey guys this is just an alternative way I thought the story could have gone so please review!!
This is when Bella, Edward and Alice are coming home from Italy…….
As I sat on the airplane with the reason I live for sitting beside me, I couldn't help the fact there was this empty feeling in the pit of my stomach, the same empty feeling I had felt 6 months ago. I knew that once I got back to Forks or even as soon as we landed he would leave me again. The person I love so much and I'm willing to die for will get up and leave me and I will probably never see him again.
When Alice stood in my hallway just a couple of nights ago I couldn't help but feel the slightest bit angry. How can this person ( well vampire) who I haven't so much as received an email from in the past six months come back into my life because she thought I killed myself from jumping off a cliff.
I had pushed these feelings to the back of my mind because when I saw Alice standing there in the hallway I regained the hope of Edward coming back to me and here he was sitting beside me his cold strong grip holding my hand.
I woke up from my daze to hear his soft whisper in my ear
'Bella, Bella'…. I turned and faced him trying to avoid his gorgeous topaz eyes looking into mine. He made it very hard to do as he realised what I was trying to do. He put his hands on my face and pulled my gaze to his. I took him a while but eventually he whispered 'What are you thinking?'. As I looked into his eyes I had to smile. 'Nothing really, just wondering how long Charlie will lock me up for when I get home' I lied. It was hard to lie to him but I couldn't tell him what I was really thinking. ' I hope he doesn't ground you for too long after saving my life' he whispered whilst keeping his gaze locked into my eyes. 'Who said anything about being grounded after this he'll probably put me in jail permanently' I said half laughing. Edward smiled and looked straight ahead.
As the air hostess came round to check that everyone had their seatbelts on and their luggage was in the top compartments I had to feel sad. Sad because I knew I would have to leave him in order to save myself the heartbreak that she had lived through before when he left me the first time. It would have to be sooner rather than later I decided. Suddenly I felt a light tap on my shoulder. As I turned around to face Alice I felt nervous because I knew what was coming, I could tell by her face that she had seen what I was planning. She put her mouth to my ear
'Don't be ridiculous Bella, you've lived without each other for way to long as it is…' she said. I looked at her and smiled. I turned right round in my seat to have Edward staring at me his look almost paralysing. 'It's nothing! Just girl stuff' I reassured him. He grinned and then turned looking forward in his seat as the plane tilted forward about to land.
As the rush of people walked quickly to reclaim their luggage we headed straight for the gate. As we walked through the gate I spotted three people out of the crowd, 3 stunningly beautiful people waiting patiently for their loved ones to come and greet them. As soon as I saw them I knew who they were, It was Carlisle, Esme and Jasper Cullen waiting for Edward and Alice. I looked at Alice to see a huge smile spread across her face. I automatically knew it was because of Jasper. It hit me their and then that they were here to see their family and I wasn't part of that family anymore. My family consists of three people now: Charlie, Renee and Jacob. Edward and the whole Cullen family used to be a part of that but I suppose it changed when they left. Of course I don't blame them for leaving; I mean Edward is a part of them. I suddenly stopped dead in my tracks, of course Edward noticed and he turned to face me
'Bella what's wrong?' he asked me
'Nothing, I'm just going to wait here while you go and say hello!' I explained to him. He looked at me with a confused look. 'Bella don't be silly, come on!' he started to pull me along, I started to pull back 'Edward no! they're here for you not me!' I said 'They are here for you too, you saved my life I think they'll want to see you!', 'Edward No you just go on your own I'll wait right here I'll be fine, I swear' I said. He looked at me with that confused look again but it had a hint of defeat in it. He kissed me on the cheek and then my forehead 'I'll be right back' he promised as he started to back away towards them. I nodded and he let go of my hand. I started to stare at the floor and when I glanced up I saw Esme with her arms around Edward and Carlisle with one hand on Edward's shoulder the other wrapped around Esme's waist. It was like one of those scenes on the television when your watching a family and they're just so happy that it makes you smile ,and on the odd occasion cry. It felt exactly like that watching them welcoming home their son and daughter.
This airport was so familiar to me that I could tell you where anything was. All those years of travelling to Forks on my own to spare my mother from seeing Charlie, it was always this airport that I flew in to. Charlie used to sit and wait on the seats for 2 hours before I landed just in case the flight came in early or there was an accident so he would be first to know. It all seemed quite funny now but at the time it was embarrassing to have my father greet me with a hug and kiss the top of my head. It would have been nice if he was here to greet me now. It hit me there and then that I was ready to collapse with exhaustion. I looked around and spotted an empty seat beside a guy that was around the same age as me. I sat and rested my head on the back of the seat and shut my eyes.
I must not have been asleep that long because before I knew it I could feel someone shaking me and calling my name. I opened my eyes to find Edward looking into them. I smiled and he returned it with the grin that I love.
'The car is in the parking lot come on lets get you home' he said whilst taking me off the seat and mostly carrying me away. I turned around and Esme was standing behind Edward. She caught my glance and quickly gave me a hug. It was very strong for such a little women. 'Thank you' she whispered into my ear as she let her hands free me. I returned her a smile. I looked at Carlisle and smiled. He gave me a thankful grin.
We walked through the airport with ease. Before I knew it we were outside the gush of air sent the hairs on my arms stand up. It wasn't until then that we saw the car and Rosalie with Emmett in it.
