AN- Heyyy! This is my third story and I hope you like it!
Slipped Through
BPOV
"I can't believe it! Dude, you're leaving? By the end of the month? We'll miss you, man. We'll always remember our crazy antics. But why do you have to go?" I heard Emmett say to Edward.
"Yes, I'm leaving. My parents said that we would have a better life in California…" Edward explained.
His friends sighed.
When I heard this, it was like one dagger pierced through my chest. Then another dagger. Then another.
And that was just the start.
Edward Cullen, probably the most perfect boy in school, was leaving. But there was a catch.
Why did I care?
Why does it hurt so much?
Why do I feel so empty? So incomplete?
Why do I want rip girls' heads off whenever they talk to him?
Why do I stutter whenever he talks to me?
Lastly, why do I feel this way?
Everything was too much. The worst part was I knew all the answers to those questions. One sentence. Just one sentence and it could answer all of those questions.
I, Isabella Swan, am in love with Edward Cullen.
I love him.
"Okay, children. That is all for today. You are dismissed for lunch." Mr. Lopez told us.
Students started closing their books and walked out of the classroom. I also started walking out the classroom.
"Hey, Bella!" Alice called out to me. Alice was my best friend. She was like a sister to me.
"Hey," I greeted her. I wasn't really one of these girly-girls that love shopping, gossiping, etc. I was quieter. I loved reading classics. Books, music, you name it, I loved everything classic. While Alice… Yeah, you could say that we were complete opposites.
"Did you know?" Alice asked me.
"Know what?" I asked.
"Edward's moving to California…" She sounded sad. Edward was her cousin.
"Yeah…" I tried to sound okay, but apparently, I didn't. You see, nobody knew about my feelings for Edward except for me.
"Bella, there's something you're not telling me…" She huffed.
"No, there is not." I told her.
"There is."
"There isn't."
By then, we reached the cafeteria and Alice just huffed in defeat.
We walked to our table which consisted of me, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper and lastly, Edward.
I said a quick, "hey," and started going through my lunch box and pulled out a sandwich.
So you see, the world hated me. The only seat left was beside Edward. I sighed and walked over to the seat.
"Hey," Edward greeted me.
I just stared at him like the idiot I was. Why does he have to be so perfect? He's tall, handsome, polite, and good at playing piano, oh, and I forgot to mention his messy bronze locks. I just wanted to run my hands through his hair and—
I was cut off by my reverie when I heard Edward clear his throat.
"Oh, yeah, um… Hi…" I greeted him and sat down. As usual, I blushed scarlet.
"I love it when you blush…" I heard Edward murmur quietly. I almost didn't hear it.
"What did you say?" I asked him.
"Nothing." He replied. He didn't even make eye contact with me. Hmmm… Maybe he said something else. I just shrugged and continued eating my lunch.
Sigh.
This is going to be a long month.
(Skipping to Edward's last day of school. A.K.A—PROM!)
"Alright! You look perfect!" Alice told me. She was finally done doing 'Bella Barbie' with me.
"Finally. You're done." I said in relief.
"Of course! Bella should ALWAYS look pretty. Especially on prom."
I laughed. "Thank you, Alice. Thank you for the makeover."
"It's my pleasure!" She smiled.
When we finally arrived at school, Alice immediately came to Jasper.
Sigh.
I guess I'll be sitting alone tonight.
I was looking for a table when I heard someone call, "Bells! Over here!"
Edward.
I started walking to his table and was surprised to see him alone.
"Hey," I said as I sat down next to him.
"Hi"
"So…"
"So…"
Silence.
"Awkward…" We both said at the same time. I giggled. Okay, what? I GIGGLED? Seriously?
Edward chuckled.
"Why aren't you dancing with some dude?" He asked me.
"I don't dance." I stated. "Why aren't YOU dancing with some girl?" I asked him. I truly was curious… I could even see girls, *cough* Tanya *cough, glaring at me.
"Actually, the one that I would very much dance with is uninterested…" He replied.
Seriously? Who would be so stupid as to NOT be interested in Edward? Pretty stupid girl, I must say.
"Where's Emmett?" I asked him. What? I needed to start a conversation. It's better than awkward silence.
"Dancing with Rosalie…"
"Jasper?"
"With Alice…"
"So you're saying that you're alone during prom?"
"I'm not alone," he started, "I have you." Wait. Could anyone restart my heart, please? I think it stopped beating.
After he said that, he flashed me a crooked smile.
Bastard. He teased my heart without even knowing what he was doing.
"Bella? Are you okay? You look a little flushed…" I heard Edward say worriedly.
"I'm o-okay…" I stuttered.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah…"
I was at home, looking for a way to keep Edward out of my mind.
I honestly don't know when Edward's leaving Forks.
And I'm not sure if I want to find out.
Sigh.
Alice keeps on pestering me about Edward. And I keep telling her to stop.
Flashback
"I know your secret!" Alice squealed in delight.
"What secret?" I TRIED to lie.
"Please, Bella, you suck at lying." She rolled her eyes.
"I don't have a secret."
"Yes, you do…"
"What is it, then?" I challenged her.
"You love Edward." CRAP.
"Was it that obvious?" I asked her. OMIGOSH. OMIGOSH. OMIGOSH.
"No."
"Then how did you find out?"
"I have my ways…"
"Okaaay…" I said, not quite believing her, "Just promise me not to tell anyone."
"I promise." Alice… promised.
End of Flashback.
I was put out of my thoughts when I heard my phone ring.
I reached for it and looked at the caller ID. Alice was calling.
"Hey," I greeted.
"Bella? Where are you?" She asked me. She sounded worried.
"I'm at home… Why?" Now I was the one who was starting to get worried.
"Rose, Emmett, Jasper and myself are in the airport." She said.
"Why?"
"Edward's leaving. He has thirty minutes left until he'll go inside the building. We're just saying goodbye to him. Hurry up and get your butt here." Then she hung up.
I got up and changed clothes.
I went downstairs and ran to my truck.
When I parked my truck in the airport's parking lot, I ran out of it and looked for the others.
While I was running, there was only one thought running through my mind.
Edward. Edward. Edward.
Then that was it. I saw all of them on a small space near the entrance of the building.
Edward was already walking away.
"EDWARD!" I called out to him. I almost cried at what he did next.
He turned around and smiled. He looked like he wanted to cry. He looked heartbroken.
"Bye…" That's what I said.
He nodded, mouthed the word "Goodbye," turned around and started walking away.
I just stared at him like the idiot I was.
I turned around and started making a mad dash for my truck despite Alice's, Jasper's, Emmett's and even Rosalie's calls for me to come back.
I ran all the way there and all I could say was "Bye…"
I was an idiot.
IDIOT.
IDIOT.
IDIOT.
I reached my truck and locked myself in.
And there, I sobbed.
AN- Yes, yes, I know the ending was sad... So... Did you like it? Hate it? Review! And if you want to make me continue this story, PM me!
