A/N- At first I wanted to keep this story as a one shot, but now I want to continue it. It's a nice little break from the Cinderella story.
Review!!! I don't know how long I want to keep this going. REVIEW will determine that. ( HAHA HA EVIL LAUGH!!!)
Edward's POV
Bella and I was snuggled together on the love seat, sitting almost identically to the way we were in the movie theater. We had looks of disbelief plastered on our faces as we stared at Christy trying to understand her reactions.
"What!!" Christy exclaimed throwing her hands in the air. "Why is everybody looking at me like that!" her eyes narrowed and a frustrated humph escaped her lips as she crossed her arms across her chest. I should have expected this much, vampires all they do is stare!!
"So Christy," Alice's bell voice rang through the room, she stood and walked towards Christy on the couch placing her pale right arm around her shoulder. "what did you think about the movie?"
I growled in frustration, pinching the bridge of my nose, Bella squeezed my thigh instantly relaxing me.
"I loved the movie actually, besides the fact that it was all wrong. It didn't have he same vibe that the book had." She dug into her bag and pulled out a book with the title Twilight sprawled across the top and a pair of pale hands holding a vividly red apple. "I mean come on you the actors that played Edward and Bella barely said I love you! This movie really didn't do your relationship justice. I hope they don't mess New Moon up too."
"New Moon?" I raised and eyebrow at her and she instantly stiffened.
"Um,..well.. um yeah the.. the sequel?" Crap Crap CRAP!!! He doesn't know, oo he'll probably have a really hard time with this one! New Moon was the saddest out of all four books.
I was confused by her assessment, I was still reeling from the idea that there was even a book in the first place, now there was 4 all together.
"There's four books, why would New Moon be the hardest for me?" I was very eager to understand her reaction, fear and
A blank look came across Alice's face, and realization soon dawned on it as well. She pursed her lips and blocked her thought quickly.
"Well, New Moon is the second book in the series.... and well it's set after Bella's 18th birthday.. and the months afterwards. All of it is in Bella's point of view." Christy's voice was becoming hushed, evident that she was uncomfortable with the topic, then I realized why. This book had all of Bella's deepest thoughts about my leaving her, it was what I had done to her when I left, the pain that she felt just by my absence. I never truly knew what she went through, I just had glimpses of how she was at that time, this book would surely give me a front row seat to the utter dispair my love felt. I felt a sudden ache in my heart, the months of my departure from Forks was the worst of my existance. Even though it led to events that ended up benifitting both Bella and I, it was still one of my greatest mistakes. That one mistake caused a series of ill events to occur, truly testing out relationship, creating a new one, and ending one all together. So much unneeded heartache.
"So you mean to tell me.....,"
"Yes," Christy sighed, "it has everything about that time period when you left her."
Bella was silent in my arms, she opened her mind to me and her thoughts were sincere.
I can only imagine what this book is like, it probably has scenes with me and Jacob. I looked down to see Bella biting her plump bottom lips, a contite look on her face.
What if Nessie was to read them! How would she feel knowing about that.
Bella's thoughts were panicked, I understood her fully. Our little miracle was rapidly growing and had the mental ability of a young adult, her knowledge of books, philosphy, artwork and the many wonders of the world grew each day she opened her little eyes. If she was to read this particular story what would she think of her mother Jacob and I.
"Yeah I know, I knew you would have that reaction, it was only expected. Just for you to know, that story made me cry and I read it atleast 12 times!!!" he movements and facial expressions displayed her strong emotions.
"Soo," Bella sighed, "this New Moon, it's told from my perspective right? And it's what I went through when Edward left me?"
Christy nodded with a sheepish smile.
"Do you have the book with you?"
"Actually I don't carry all the books, I only have the first one on me right now. But I do have the rest on audiobook right here on my ipod, it's way easier, less chance of crazy fans attacking you." She dug into her bag and pulled out a 2nd generation Ipod touch, quickly scrolling through her playlist and handing Bella the Ipod.
She took in and placed the ear buds into her ears, I listened along side her using my vampire hearing. She was still wrapped in my arms in the couch, we listened for 3 hours, Alice left the room in search of Jasper as Christy dozed off a soon fell asleep. After 14 hours, 47 minutes and 10 seconds it was finally finished.
Bella removed the earbuds slowly, we were both silent for a long time. Minutes passed in complete silence until Bella's musical voice pierced the uncomfortable state we were in.
"Wow!" was all she managed to say.
"Wow indeed." I sighed. Then I felt it, I felt the agonizing pain, the unbearable torturous remorse I felt when I returned to my Bella. Now I knew, now I truly understood what I had done, Bella explained it to me before, yet this was completely different. This was the first time I heard my Bella's thoughts unfilltered and it wasn't what I expected.
Then, without warning a sickening snarl and hiss escaped Bella's lips.
A/N- Now next CHAPTER IS GOING TO BE SOOOOO DRAMATIC!!!! YES I'M MAKING THIS A STORY!! NOT A LONG ONE THOUGH.
