Part 2 UNBREAK MY BROKEN HEART

Bella quit her job at the Tree Farm Cafe, sold all of her furniture, and gave up her house. She left Hawaii with Carlisle, Esme and Alice. They all met up at the airport, Esme getting everyone their tickets, then when their flight was called, they all went to find their seats in first class

This was the first time that Bella had flown first class. Bella was sitting next to Alice, Esme organised it that way so that the two girls could try and heal the wounds that were caused by Bella's disappearance. Esme and Carlisle overheard them talking and building bridges.

Alice asked the question that they were all wanting for the answer and had waited 5 years for. Alice asked Bella why she left. Bella said that she was never in the same league as Edward whereas Jess was. She saw Jess run to Edward the night of the prom, then as she watched Edward comfort Jess, she realised that Jess was prettier, richer, and understood Edward's world better than she ever could.

Alice told Bella that she had forgiven her. Bella asked Alice about Edward and what had happened to him since she left. Alice told her that he was just existing, not living, and stayed in his room every except for the times he had to go to school. He would hold on to their last photo. "Alice, how do I fix this? How do I fix my mistake?" Bella begged. Alice suggested that Bella should write a heartfelt letter to Edward that was longer than five words.

Bella started to write the letter that she hoped would convince Edward to take her back and forgive her. It took the rest of the flight for her to finish the letter - she was keen to give Edward the letter, as she knew it was the first step to getting back with Edward. Bella gave the letter to Alice so that she could pass it on to Edward

Esme took Bella home to Charlie first. Alice called Edward to let him know that they had found Bella. Edward didn't believe Alice until she gave him the letter that she wrote and worked on for the five hours that was left of the flight after they had talked. Edward asked if Alice would stay with him as he read the letter. The letter said.

Hello Edward
You might not want to read this letter but please, please keep reading.

I am sorry that I left you without talking to you about what I saw on the night of the prom. Alice told me why Jess ran to you, and why you hugged her. I never understood what you saw in me and how I can compete with Jess.

I hope we can get back to the relationship that we had before the night of the prom. I know that leaving you like I did hurt you deeply. I have always thought of you everyday that we were apart. I cried for the times that we were apart and all the lost kisses that were never given or received.

Yours always
Bella

After Edward read the letter he looked to Alice and she handed him a second letter that told Edward that Bella would be waiting for him if he wanted to see her at the diner. If not, that was ok with her. Bella would wait for him at the diner from 1pm till 4pm.

Edward asked Alice what he should do, Alice said for him to answer her three questions and he should have his answer. The first question Alice asked was "Do you love her, Edward?" Edward answered, "yes." Her second question was "Can you ever forgive her?" He answered again, "yes." So Alice asked her last question, "Edward, what are you still doing here? Go get your girl."

I walked into the diner and looked around for my Bella. As I entered, I had a quick look at my watch and saw that it was 3:30pm. I hope she is true to her word and is still here. Then I saw Bella with silent tears running down her face. She must think that I wasn't coming. I walked up to the table and reached up to wipe away her tears, murmuring, "Stop crying, Bella. I'm sorry for making you wait. I have been driving around thinking for the last 2 hours.

"Why Bella? Why would you think that I would want Jess over you? You mean the world to me. You are so beautiful. Your beauty is unique, no one can ever compare to you, my Bella," I told her. She looked at me with unshed tears, hiccupping out, "I'm so sorry Edward, I knew that Jess had always wanted you, so when I saw you comfort her, I thought all was lost for us. I'm sorry Edward."

"So, what happens next?" Bella asked. "Well," I said to her. "We need to start slow and try dating first, keeping to public places." "Okay," Bella agreed with my requests.

Over the next month we had 20 dates. On the 21st date Bella rang me to ask me to wear a nice suit and to drive to Charlie's house.

When I arrived at Charlie's, I saw Bella looking absolutely stunning in a deep blue strapless dress that had a slit that went all the way up to the middle of her thigh. She jumped into my car and I leaned over to give Bella a kiss on the cheek. We had not gone any further than that. I asked Bella, "Where are we going dressed to the nines?" She told me to head to the lodge. She told me to pull over and head down an unused logging road and asked me to stop when we got out of sight of everything else.

When I stopped the car Bella asked me to get out and open the trunk of the car. Bella rummaged around my trunk, but I don't know what for. So I did what she asked and stood in front of my car. Bella came around and was holding a small scrap of material that I had in the boot. She put the towel on the ground and got down on both knees and held out a little black box.

Bella looked up at me and said to me, "This ring is my promise to you that I will follow you anywhere and be with you always, no matter what I see or hear I will always talk to you before reacting." I opened the box and saw a gorgeous ring inside. It had four sapphires, two on each side of a diamond, all of which were channel set in a white gold ring. Bella asked if I knew the meaning behind the gems she chose.

I said, "Please tell me." Bella said that gold of any colour was used for the 75th wedding anniversary, Bella pointed to the diamond in the centre of my ring that's and the sapphires are given for the 85th wedding anniversary, now I am not saying we have to get married this ring is to go on your right ring finger to remind you that no matter what I will be with you. I pulled Bella up and gave her a kiss on the lips and told her thank you and to put the ring where it belongs.

We got back in the car and headed to dinner. The meal was perfect we had sat in a secluded table and enjoyed an entree of mushroom ravioli, a main of crayfish, a dessert of chocolate soufflé. We went back to Charlie's house because Charlie was at the station. While we were sitting on her bed drinking coffee I had to ask Bella why she gave me the ring in the middle of the woods. She told me that the ring had so much meaning for her and that she didn't want the town to question the meaning behind it. That night was the first night we shared a bed.

1 YEAR LATER

I took Bella back to the lodge and got down on one knee and I said, "Bella the love of my life, life gives us many challenges some that were started by one of us but I know that if you are beside me and say yes we can face them and make them disappear. Isabella Marie Swan, will you say yes to becoming my wife?" Bella squealed and fell into my arms and said yes while kissing me. I asked if she would like to see her ring she said yes and nodded emphatically so I pulled out the little black box and opened it for her. Bella told me it was perfect. The ring I picked out for her had 4 diamonds and 1 emerald that was channel set in a white gold ring.
I told her the meaning behind her ring was significant of the 90th wedding anniversary and I hope we make it that far.
