Hello people, thanks for waiting for this chapter and sorry for taking so long as I was super busy with schoolworks.

For this chapter right, some part doesn't match with the previous one so I apologise beforehand and also the grammar as I think that there is a lot of mistakes.

But, I still hope that you enjoyed it.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything except the plot.

Love at First Flight

Bella POV

In the Airport

"Dear passengers, Virgin America flight VX 780 to Los Angeles, CA will be delayed for a moment due to technical faults. We apologize for the inconvenience caused."

I sighed and fell back to my seat, my battered copy of Wuthering Heights on my lap which was a gift from him on my eighteenth birthday. Being stuck in Sea-Tac is the last thing I wanted at a time like this.

The reason of me being here in the airport is that I am going to start a new life out in LA, hoping that it might help me forget the things that happened in Seattle; mainly the accident that took Edward away from me. I touched the scar that was on my forearm, a reminder of that tragic incident.

Edward and I knew each other since young and we were best friends with Alice and Jasper. The four of us were inseparable as we were always seen together. We were in high school when Edward and I became a couple as well as Alice and Jasper. It was interesting to see a quiet Jasper and a hyperactive Alice together as they seems mismatched but Jasper could calm Alice down no matter in what situation. As for Edward and me, when we walked together, it seems like he was some superstar while I am only an ordinary girl although he always tells me that I am the most beautiful girl in his eyes.

Then, the four of us went to U-Dub together, studying for a Master's degree, with Edward in music; Alice in design; Jasper in history and myself in literature. We rented an apartment near school and stayed there together as we do not want to be separated from each other by staying at dorms.

Luckily, we were staying together as what I did not know that time was that the time Edward and I have was ending…

We were in our last year in U-Dub and were out partying, celebrating the end of our finals and the fact that we are graduating. We drove down to this club called 'Zouk' as it was well-known and we decided to check it out. It was very crowded but we managed to get in. Then we just drank, danced and chatted the whole night. It was awesome. We left the place at around three in the morning, stating that we had enough. I opted that we took a cab home as all of us drank and Edward, our assigned driver, had two but he said that he was sober enough to drive home.

If I had insisted, then maybe the accident would have never happened…

We were on the way home when a car from the opposite direction lost control and was coming towards us. Edward got no time to react and the next thing he knew was the crash. Due to the impact, our car skied and hit a tree on the roadside. All I felt was pain and someone shouting before blacking out.

I woke up in the hospital two days later, with a fractured right arm and head concussion. Mom and dad were at my bedside and they were relieved to see me awake. I could see that mom had been crying so I assured her that I will be fine. Then, I asked about Edward. Both of them looked at me like I have said something wrong so I panicked, demanding them to tell me what's wrong with him. Finally, my dad said that Edward died on the site of the accident due to the massive impact on his side of the car that led to internal bleeding. I was so shocked that I went silent, letting the information set in. Then, I remembered about jasper and Alice. My parents said that they've got minor injuries like me and they will recover. Hearing that, I was relieved that no one else was gone except… him.

I was out of the hospital in a couple of days, Jasper and Alice too, and Edward's funeral was held two days later on the thirtieth of August. It was a simple ceremony and I know that Edward would not want me to mourn for him so after the three of us graduated; we went back home and carried on like nothing happened. But it was not possible as some nights; I would look at the things he gave me and cry. Jasper and Alice couldn't take it any longer a few months after the funeral that they moved to New York and got jobs there. They promised to keep in contact with all of us, particularly with me as they don't want to lose me too. So, a year after they both left and with me having a job offer from Belmont high school in LA, I decided to leave this place and start a new life…

"Dear passengers, Virgin America flight VX 780 to Los Angeles, CA will begin boarding in a short while. Thank you for your patience."

I suddenly thought back to where I was. Lucky I wasn't crying as I would look weird crying in an airport, or maybe not. I went back to my book. I would never get bored reading it although I've know it front to back.

"Dear passengers, Virgin America flight VX 780 to Los Angeles, CA will begin boarding now. Thank you."

I quickly packed my things and started walking to the boarding gate when I felt someone looking at me. I looked towards that direction and I saw him. He had blond hair and maybe in his late-twenties with a well-built body. He looked like he was thinking about something so I ignored him and continued walking when a little boy knocked onto me suddenly that sent my things flying.

I sighed then started picking up my things when I sensed another pair of hands helping me. I looked up and saw him again, the blonde-haired guy. He was picking up the last few of my things then he looked at me. When our eyes met, I felt a jolt of electricity. I was shocked but I ignored it as he started talking.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"Oh, yes. At least I didn't bump into someone. I tend to be quite clumsy at times." I replied, smiling at him.

"But you don't look anywhere near clumsy." He burped out. "Oh… I mean that you remind me of my late wife and she was nowhere near there."

"Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss." I began and when we were done I held out my hand, "And thank you…"

"… Carlisle, Carlisle Cullen." He introduced and shook my hand.

"Isabella Swan, Bella." I replied.

And with that, I released my hand from his, took my things and continued walking to the gate.

On the plane

I was seated on my seat and reading my book when I felt someone seated beside me. I turned my head and my eyes met the same guy who helped me, Carlisle. So I smiled and said "Hey" to him. He returned my gesture.

Then, we started talking. I told him that I was going to teach English literature in Belmont high school and he told me that he is an ER doctor at California Hospital Medical Center. When I heard that he is a doctor, I joked that I would not need to worry about finding a doctor in the hospital to help me when I fall. Then, I continued on telling him some of the episodes that happened to me as he does not believe that I am a danger magnet. I think that he was fascinated after my stories.

I can't believe that I told him those things after we landed in LA and that the two and half hours flight passed in a breeze. I feel so comfortable around him. He surprised me by asking for my number and I gave it to him. Then, he bid goodbye and left the airport.

It's good to have a friend already in a new place and maybe a new relationship soon. Although I have moved, I would never forget Edward and he'll have a place in my heart forever. And I will tell the guy in the next relationship about him and what we gone through together. With that, I collected my belongings and left the airport in search of a new life.

So, how was it? Remember to comment, good or bad, so that I can improve.

This is the end of the story as I only planned for it to be a one-shot. It is a good experience and I've had a good time. So, see you guys next time when I have new ideas =)
