Edward and Bella
Prolog
After all that we had been through together he left. He just left me there in the woods behind my house thinking that I would just turn around and go home, that I wouldn't try and follow him deeper and deeper into the blackness. Eventually I just sat on the ground and curled up into a little ball. I don't remember much after that, I think Sam or one of the other boys from the reservation found me and took me back to Charlie. After that the next few months went by like a blur. Charlie threatened to send me away to live with my mom again and the thought of leaving Forks, leaving the one place where he could find me sent shivers down my spine. So I told him I would talk to my friends again. Going to a movie with Jessica sounded okay but I would have much rather endured a shopping trip with Alice or sitting in the Cullen's living room having a glaring contest with Rosalie. Seeing a motorcycle gang got me thinking so my next stop was Jacob. My sun, he decided to go along with all my crazy plans like riding motorcycle's. We even went cliff diving which I must say was amazing. A little scary but amazing. Then he stopped calling, he had left me too. What is wrong with me?"
My senior year of college was off to a great start, Angela and I decided to take the first semester and do a semester abroad, so we would be doing our course work at a university in London England.
"So our flight leaves tomorrow at 7pm, I have most of my stuff packed what about you?" Angela asked me from the living room. I stood by the stove making chicken alfredo.
"Yeah, I'll be ready I am gonna drive down to Port Angeles and meet my dad for brunch before I come back so we can head out. Oh and Jessica said she will drive us to the airport."
We finished a few last minute things for tomorrow before settling in with good books. I had decided to read Jane Eyre while Ang went with another great classic in Gulliver's travels. Around 8 I woke up to my alarm blaring in my ear, dragging my butt out of bed I made my way into the shower the scent of my strawberry shampoo filled my senses waking me up. I stepped out into the cloud of steam to begin the rest of my morning ritual. I skipped breakfast so I would be hungry when I met up with my dad. The drive didn't seem to take to long which I was thankful for. Eventually I found my dad leaning up against his cruiser.
"Hey, dad."
"Oh hey Bells?" He replied when he saw me. "How was the drive?"
"It was good, didn't take too long, you?"
"Was good, shall we?" He said gesturing towards the entrance to the small diner on the boardwalk. The sign at the front counter said to seat yourself so we picked a booth off to the side. It didn't take long for the waitress to waddle over. "So are you ready for your trip?" He questioned as soon as she walked away from the table to grab our drink orders.
"Yeah, all packed and I am actually super excited about it, Angela and I are gonna have a blast and I think getting out of the country for a while will be good for me, plus you know my fascination with British culture. I am hoping to see where Wuthering heights is located. I promise my school work won't suffer if anything it will help you know give me good inspiration for my writing and stuff."
"Wow, Bell's I haven't heard you this excited in a long time. I am happy for you. I also have all the faith that this will be good for your future career." We sat together in silence for a while as the waitress brought out of food. "Well I will miss you Bella, I want you to call once a week just to check in okay?"
"Of course, and I will also call mom to let her know I am still alive." I responded with a sarcastic tone. I could see on his face that he wanted to say something but wasn't sure how or if he even should. "Just spit out whatever you feel the need to say dad." I said.
"I'm just happy that you are finally over all that drama you went through in high school." That was all he had to say to tell me exactly what he was thinking. He was thinking of how Edward broke my heart into a million pieces. At first I couldn't even think his name let alone say it to anyone. But I wouldn't let myself get too close to that subject so I just replied with.
"Yeah that was hard but I don't want to think about it." I turned my head for a moment before looking back over to my dad who had that look of sadness and concern plastered on his face. He realized this and tried to smile a bit his mustache twitch as he did so. "Anyway Angela and I will be back for Christmas, and we have until then to decide if we are gonna just finish college over there or if we are gonna come back to Seattle. "I am actually looking forward to taking a weekend trip down to Paris for a little shopping and sightseeing. You know I think I might spend a weekend there and write an entire book around the Arc or maybe the palace of Versailles. I don't know I just see so many possibilities, but anyway I am not gonna get all into my different plot ideas. So what are you gonna do with me gone?"
"Well since you have been in Seattle for the last three years I think I can keep surviving, plus sue has been helping out a bit and Seth he hangs around to help with the stuff I can't do anymore. I am taking him on his first hunting trip this weekend. It's Leah who doesn't come around much. Anyway I think sue will keep me alive for ya." I couldn't help but chuckle at him. After that we finished our meals in silence. It wasn't awkward like most silences were.
"Well I will see you at Christmas. Say Hi to Angela for me. Please be safe and I expect to hear from you often." He said hugging me tight before opening the door to his cruiser. I hugged him back, glad to have such a good relationship with my father. As much as I missed my mother I could never regret moving to Forks and going through all the crap I went through In High school, my father is one of the most important people in my life now and I am so grateful for that.
"I promise and I am looking forward to Christmas dad. I love you." I replied before heading over to my beast of a truck.
"Love you to Bell's" he called out to me as I climbed up and started my engine. The beast roared to life beneath me. My drive back to Seattle was uneventful and seemed to take longer than the drive there. Once I got back to the apartment I shared with Angela and Jessica we grabbed our bags and put them in the back of Jessica's mini cooper. She chattered away about how much fun we are gonna have and how she wished she could have made the trip with us but that she was happy we were gonna be having a great time and that she would miss us. We told her we would miss her to. She also said all of our important boxes would be picked up and sent to our London flat and the rest would be shipped back to our parents homes in Forks. We made it to the airport in record time. I double checked that my iPod had a full battery and turned my phone off. Angela and I grabbed our tickets and headed straight for security.
"Passport please?" The TSA agent at the security gate announced as I approached him. I handed it to him along with my ticket and proceeded through security, they handed it back as I put my stuff back together and grabbed my laptop. I then waited for Ang to get through. After that we decided to grab a bite to eat at a little pizza place near our gate as we had an hour to kill before our flight.
"Last call for American Airlines flight 342 Seattle Washington to London England." We hurried over to the gate and began boarding.
"Thank you for flying American Airlines, I hope you enjoy your time in London and for those of you who are home, welcome home."
We had finally arrived. London England here we are.
