This is just the preface, and it's very short. I hope you like it. Any feedback you can leave would be fantastic.
I am looking for a beta for this. I have a couple chapter's already written. I suck at re-reading my own work, so I need some help.
I'll update once a week. I think.
I have exams at the moment so it might not be as often. But summer is coming and I will have many free days down the beach with a pad and pen.
"Bella," A familiar voice called. I didn't stop. My lying subconscious convinced me that they couldn't see me.
"Bella," The voice called again. It was closer this time.
"Isabella Swan, will you stop walking!" The voice shouted with an irritated huff. I stopped immediately but didn't turn. I was delaying the inevitable, I know, but it's like the natural tactic of looking at the spider as you slowly creep out of a room- not helpful to the situation, only your sanity.
"Bella," the voice said, in a whisper of a breath, harsh from jogging to catch up to me. I turned my head and smiled a second before my face came into his line of vision. Same face. Same perfect face. I swiveled the rest of my body in the direction of my head so I was fully facing him.
"Hi," I breathed. I never thought I would talk to him again. I never thought I would see him again.
"Hi," he breathed back.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm back,"
"You're back?" I asked; conformation for a heart too broken to be hopeful. "Alone?"
"For now," he said slowly. Maybe he had looked, and couldn't see. Had I changed? I thought I had, maybe it was just me who could see it?
"For now?" I asked. He was being cryptic.
"I have a feeling when they find out they will be back as well."
"Find out what?"
"That I've seen you."
"Seen me? You had to know I would be here, Jasper."
"I didn't know what to expect."
"Well, now you do. Still staying? You have a habit of bailing on me." My voice was hard and very serious, shielding the fact that inside my heart was breaking. I just wouldn't cry in front of him. Not again.
"I have to go. I've got to pick somebody up."
"Okay. But can I get your new number? I tried to call the old one, but it's been disconnected"
"No," I said, curtly. "I have to go." And with that I turned and left. I felt my eyes well up with tears, but I blinked them back. I had promised myself that I wouldn't shed another tear over the Cullen family. I quickly got to my car, and pulled away.
I drove to pick up Nathan.
"Momma!" He screamed as he saw my car pull up. I must have been really late. Everyone else was gone, and it was just Nathan and his teacher.
"Hey baby," I said, as he ran into my arms. I picked him up and hugged him close, filling the whole in my chest. He brought me comfort. He held me together, he always had.
