"Oh my God." I whispered. That couldn't be him, could it? He said he was never coming back. I saw the agony in his eyes as he looked me over. So the Cullens were back in town. Great. After trying to forgot them, they repay me lie this? I could feel the tears coming. He took a step closer. Mike came over and asked.
"What's wrong, sweetheart?" Edward's jaw dropped. I could tell what he was thinking. Bella MARRIED Mike?!?!
"Nothing," I replied.
"You look like your going to cry."
"Oh, I just don't feel good. I think I need to lie down." Mike looked out the window where I was staring, I looked back at the spot. He's gone! No! He couldn't! I still loved him! He can't just have disappeared! Oh, right. I mentally kicked myself. Duh, he's a vampire.
"I'm going to lie down." I told Mike. I ran past the girls sitting at the table with wide eyes.
"Momma?" Eliza asked, but I didn't hear her.
I ran up the stairs into my bedroom and threw myself on the bed. I broke down then. The tears spilled over and fell to the gold comforter. I heard a soft knock at the door, but ignored it. I couldn't speak, not to Mike.
"Bella? Sweetheart? Are you alright?"
When I didn't answer he started pounding.
"BELLA! OPEN THIS DOOR!"
I obeyed and tried to wipe my tears before he could see. I ran into his arms.
"Bella, baby, what's wrong."
I didn't answer. He let me stand there and ruin his work shirt. When the tears slowed, he asked,
"Baby, why were you crying?"
"I don't know," I lied.
"It's okay, you're alright." He said soothingly as he pulled me to the bed to rock me. I wiped my face again.
"I'm fine."
"You had us worried. "
"Sorry," I mouthed. He didn't reply. He just rocked me some more.
(I wanted to stop here, but I'll keep writing. I'm so nice, aren't I? Ha ha ha!)
After a few minutes, I heard two pairs of feet running up the stairs. I quickly gained my composure again.
"Momma?" Ali asked, alarmed.
"In here." My throat thick, I cleared it.
"Are you okay?" asked Eliza.
"Yes, yes. Of course." I stood up and kneeled down to be on the girls' level. I pulled them into a tight hug.
"It's going to be alright." I told them and secretly myself.
EDWARD POV
(You know you wanted to know what was happing in his head)
As I walked through the forest at human's pace, I heard somebody think something.
Bella. I can't believe she's mine! After Cullen left, I thought I had a chance. I'm glad I asked her out.
Could he be thinking about my Bella? A million emotions passed through me. Anger. Relief. Love. Gratitude. Hurt. I ran to the sound of the thought. I peeked through the thick vegetation. I spied my Bella. Bella! My sweet, beautiful Isabella! I was ecstatic! She was my elusive, human Bella. I looked through the window to see that she was looking back at me. She gasped.
"Oh my God." She whispered, but I could hear her. I also heard two little children eating and giggling. I wondered who was the father. A man with blonde hair walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"What's wrong, sweetheart?"
Mike. Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike. How DARE he take my Bella?!?!?!? She looked at him briefly and tears were threatening to fall. I saw that coming back to Forks was a mistake. A huge mistake. I never expected, or even thought that she would be married! She wasn't my Bella anymore. She was his. I growled. I saw how my self-control was erasing. I ran through the forest sobbing tearless sobs.
( Review, review review! I know I'm a suckish writer. Don't me too mean. :] )
