Okay here is a little one shot to ease my cluttered mind.. I hadn't planned to post this because I thought it was just random at first but finally it came together.. I finally have one more thing less to think about.. I've had this idea running around in my head and I couldn't take it any longer.. Anyway, I'm rambling..
I threw my car door open and ran into the lunch room. I quietly entered and watched my old friends walk. I stood in the back, dark corner and watched as he walked across the stage. He shook Mr. Green's hand and took the rolled up paper. He looked super sexy in his blue and gold robe but something was off. He looked sad as he finished his walk. I watched him sit down next to his fellow peers. I could only see the back of his head but it was enough to tell he was upset and hurting.
You see, I lived in Forks my whole life, until about 2 years ago. I was 16 when I ran away. Away from my so-called-father, my friends, and him. Edward Cullen. My one and only love. We were dating at the age of 15 to 16 then I ran away. I knew how much it would hurt him but I had to get away from my father. I had only left Edward with a note on his bed side table.
My name is Bella Swan and I broke Edward Cullen's heart at the age of 16.
He has no clue I'm here today but I came back for him. For our love, if he still wants me. About a month ago Charlie killed himself. I'm glad in a way but also sad. Ever since mom had walked out on us he had been missing her. Then when I was 13 he started to beat me as his outlet of anger. He always said I looked like my mother and he was going to change that. I left before he could.
My old friends and peers finished up and they started to file out of the small lunch room. Edward, Alice, Jasper, Rose, and Emmett stood there with Carlisle and Esme. I stayed put in my dark corner and took a deep breath. I looked down at my outfit to make sure there was no huge flaw. I had on my tight boot-cut jeans over my favorite mid-calf boots, my midnight blue shirt was peeking out of my black hoodie just below my neck. My black hoodie was tight in all the right places.
I took a few steps towards the family, who had been my family around 2 years ago. My heels clicked loudly on the hardwood floor, making the small lunch room fall into silence. There were only 3 other families in here so it was relatively quiet. Edward's head snapped up from the floor as the sound echoed through the room. Should have worn quieter shoes. Edward knew the sound of my heels all too well.
I stared into his melting, pained, surprised, deep, emerald-green eyes.
Edward POV...
CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK.
Rang out through the lunch room. My eyes flew open and I looked toward the sound. I knew the sound only meant one thing. The brunette stopped and stared just as I was. Her full, lush mahogany hair hung down just past her waist. She was dressed in a black hoodie, tight jeans and she had dark sunglasses covering her beautiful chocolate-brown eyes. We stared at each other for what seemed like a century.
My family slowly walked away and out of the lunch room. They knew too. I smiled her favorite crooked smile and she smiled back. She granted me the pleasure of her brown eyes. She lifted her sunglasses onto the top of her head and I could see that her smile reached her eyes.
She's here. She's really here.
CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK.
She stopped only a foot from me. She was more beautiful than I remembered. She was more perfect in every way possible. That's why it's so hard to get over her leaving. She left because of Charlie but I never got a real good-bye. Only the note that was in my back pocket. It suddenly felt really light compared to what it did a minute ago. I know it's paper, but a picture says a thousand words and this note held our life together.
I reached up and cupped her cheek. She didn't flinch like she used to when I did before she left. No, instead of flinching she leaned into my hand and closed her eyes with a smile on her face. I closed the gap between us and wrapped her in a hug. I wrapped my arms around her waist and held on for dear life. I never wanted to let her go. I hid my face in her strawberry scented hair and cherished the feeling of her in my arms once again. Her arms snaked around my neck and she held on tightly.
"I'm so sorry." She whispered. The sound of her voice was one of many things I couldn't picture anymore. Until now.
"I know." I whispered back.
"You can never know how truly sorry I am for leaving. I will make it up to you every day if I have to." She said pulling back just a bit. I looked deep into her brown eyes and saw nothing but pain and love.
"You don't have to make it up to me. You have always had my heart, no matter what." I said. She smiled and her eyes flickered between my eyes and my lips. She licked her lips slowly. I couldn't hold back any longer, she was too tempting. I leaned my head into hers and our lips connected with a bang.
I could feel her every emotion that she threw into the kiss. Love, sorrow, pain, passion, need, want and many more. We broke apart for some much-needed air. I trailed kisses down her neck and down her shoulder. I kissed my way back up kissed right under her ear. She giggled and pulled me back up to her lips. This kiss was sweet and slow. She knotted her hands in my hair and my grip on her waist tightened.
Bella POV...
The feeling of Edward's lips on mine was extraordinary and pure bliss. I could kiss him all day long. We broke apart again for air. I laid my head on his shoulder and sighed softly. I was finally home. My huge loft in Hollywood was nothing compared to Edward's embrace. Did I ever mention that I am known world-wide? I didn't? Well, I am. I am the Bella Swan. The one who is on every guy and girls walls. I am a model who is smokin' hot. Of course the bruises and cuts that Charlie had given hadn't helped my career but I worked it out.
Every guy at this school had drooled over me, everyone but Edward. And that had me on a mission to make him mine. Of course he helped out, he was secretly in love with me but covered it up by pretending to ignore me. Only that plan didn't work out so well when I had figured it out.
"What are you thinking?" Edward asked quietly. He ran his fingers through my long brown hair. I wasn't surprised or shocked by his question. He knew when I was thinking, he had once said that when I was thinking my eyes became distant, my eyebrows pulled together ever so slightly and I bit the inside of my cheek gently. Apparently that hadn't changed.
"I was just thinking about how I made you mine." I answered.
"I think you have that backwards. I made you mine." Edward said as he played with my hair.
"No, darling. I specifically remember asking you out to dinner. It was a Friday after school I walked up to you as you were climbing into your car and asked you. You were hesitant but agreed. I picked you up at your house a 6:30 on the dot and we went to the restaurant in Post Angeles. We talked, a lot and then you paid for dinner. I drove you home and you kissed me." I said, remembering.
"That's right, I remember now." Edward said thoughtfully. I could see the smile forming on his lips as he remembered. I sighed happily and leaned back into his chest.
"I do believe it's my turn." A female voice said from behind me.
Edward POV...
"I do believe it's my turn." Alice said. She walked up to us and stood there with the rest of the family. I tightened my grip on Bella and she followed. She lifted her head and looked at my family. Our family. They hurt a little too when she left, but not as much as I did.
"Yeah, come on Eddie. Stop hogging my lil sis." Emmett whined. Bella kissed my neck and pulled away from me. She wrapped Alice in a hug for a long minute.
"I missed you, Pixie." Bella said quietly. Alice laughed.
"I missed my shopping buddy." Alice said. Bella pulled away and Emmett wrapped her in a bear hug.
"Em...can't...breath." Bella gasped. Emmett laughed and set her down.
"Sorry sis, I missed you." Emmett said honestly.
"I missed you to Em." Bella said.
Suddenly Jazz wrapped her in a hug. She hugged him back and whispered something in his ear. He laughed and nodded. They pulled away and Bella moved onto Rose. Their hug was short but meaningful. Bella pulled away from Rose and faced Carlisle and Esme. They wrapped her in a long hug when Esme started to cry into Bella's shoulder.
"I missed you so much, my daughter." Esme cried.
"I missed you too, Mom." Bella said quietly. After another long minute Carlisle and Esme released her. Bella backed up until she was flush with my chest. I wrapped her into a hug and kissed her neck.
"This is a new start of forever." Bella whispered.
"It certainly is." I whispered back. I couldn't wait to make Bella mine forever. This truly was the start of our forever together.
So, what you think? Review
