To tell you the truth, I am really loving the ideas I'm coming up for this story, so please, keep reviewing and I can share them with you.
One and only – Teitur
I've
been wishing on a star but I never could have imagined
I would
land just where you are after all this lonesome travelling
Took
one look in your eye, reached out to hold your hand
This is when
I realized what I could never understand
Do
you want to be my one and only love?
Do you want to be my one and
only love?
So
you wanna be my friend, so you wanna be my lover
With you I do
confess I can't be one without the other
That was hard for me to
say, I hope I said it right
Which ever, come what may, you see I
need to know tonight
Do
you want to be my one and only love?
Do you want to be my one and
only love?
Do
you want to play these cards, do you want to lay them down?
Do
you want to run away or do you want to stick around?
Do
you want to be my one and only love?
Do you want to be my one and
only love?
After chugging down my glass of milk, I climbed in bed and instantly fell asleep.
A very disturbing dream drove through my head, so vivid, so real.
Charlie was furious, he was yelling at me and Edward both, telling us we can't see each other anymore. I broke down in tears, crying out everything I had. I looked up; I saw nothing but a shadow of Edward leaving me. Please don't leave me. I reached my hand out to only grab air.
My eyes flew open. Strong tears running down my cheeks, my pillow was soaked with tears of anguish. I lay there for minutes, hoping that never happens.
The sun started to rise over the horizon, so I decided to get up. Today was Saturday, so I didn't have anything to do all day. Charlie can say if I am going to see Edward or not, it's my life, he can't tell me who I can love.
I thought of lounging in my sweats all day, but I don't want to give Charlie one more thing to gripe about. My brown corduroys were ready to be worn, so I slipped those on with a light brown button up quarter sleeve shirt. I pulled a little section of my hair on each side back with bobby-pins.
Charlie was downstairs getting ready for fishing again. He never brought fish home, but I guess he's been pretty lucky with reeling some in. He never looked at me, I was sort of glad too.
When he went outside I went in the kitchen and put some bread in the toaster. When it popped up, I jumped up; almost sure it restarted my heart.
I went and sat down at the little table and took my first bite. Charlie left a newspaper on the table; I grabbed it and read some of the articles.
None of them seemed to be interesting enough, so I threw back where it was.
I sat in at the table for a couple of minutes, still decided what I should do today. I needed to catch up on some laundry; the kitchen was due for a major cleaning as well. Getting my homework done was also on my list of to-do's.
I started by putting a load of darks into the wash. There were whites in the dryer from yesterday, so I let them toss for a couple of minutes.
I gathered up all the dishes from around the house and put them in the sink.
Shortly after, I heard the dryer buzz; I went to go fold them. I took my time, I was in no rush.
The darks were done. One by one I would pick them out of the washer, look at them and toss them into the dryer. On my way to put my folded clothes in my room, I took my sheets off the bed and threw them into a pile in the hall.
On my way back to the laundry room I grabbed Charlie's sheets off his bed as well.
I was interrupted from the phone ringing. I rushed downstairs to catch it. "Hello." I said lifelessly into the phone. "Hey Bella!" Alice was happy for some reason. I was real quiet. "What's wrong?" Alice 's mood had gone away instantly.
"Well, I got home last night, and guess what Charlie found?" I heard her inhale a loud breath. "How?" I didn't really like explaining things a whole lot. "I don't know, I think he went through my things." She didn't answer me right away.
"He shouldn't be invading your privacy." Alice always had an answer for everything. "So I guess that means you won't able to come over tonight so we could help each other with our home work?" I'm not sure if he would mind, Charlie loves Alice . "Well, he might not mind you, but…" She was waiting for me to finish. "What did he say?" I started to feel anger towards Charlie again. "He said he doesn't want me to see Edward any more." She continued with questions. "Why would he do that?" I didn't really want to keep talking about it.
By my guess, Charlie never really liked Edward in the first place. "I don't know. I'll ask him if I could do my homework with you." She sounded like she had a smile on her face. "Okay, Bye." I tried to say bye but she had already hung up.
Once I was finished with everything. I went up stairs and took a long shower. I heard Charlie get home.
I hopped out of the shower, got dressed and started downstairs.
I wasn't sure how to ask him about Alice and her plans, so I tried to soften him up a little bit. I made his Chicken Cordon Bleu. He loved that.
He helped him self, eating a little too fast. I went and sat in the other chair at the table. His face was filled with suspicion when he looked at me. "Dad," I started. "Hmm." Was all he said. "Well, Alice needed my help with her home work." He didn't take his eyes off his food.
"Is it just Alice ?" His mouth was full of food. "Yea." He sighed, "You know you're grounded?" Of course I knew I was grounded, I wasn't stupid. "Yea." He finally stuffed the last bite of food in his mouth. "We're just going to do home work." I assured him. "Where's Edward going to be?" Oh crap, I didn't think about him.
" Alice said he was doing some doctor training with Carlisle at the hospital tonight. And it will be only me and her." I always sucked at lying, but I really didn't know what Edward was going to be doing.
"Ok." He got up to rinse off his plate. "Oh, and good job with dinner, it was delicious." I was glad he liked it.
I called Alice back around nine P.M. She was happy.
She showed up around nine thirty. I grabbed my bag and ran outside. Charlie waved at me and Alice from the porch. "Hey Bella." She pressed on the gas pedal and we fled the scene.
We got to their little house. She pulled in by Carlisle 's car. Edward was waiting on the front porch. "Bella, I really didn't need any help with my homework, Edward told me to call you." I was happy. And she could tell. I got out and sped walk over to Edward.
He tried to pull me with him into the darkness, away from the house. "Where are we going?" He didn't answer me. I tried to stop. He looked at me. "What?" His face was full of confusion. "Where are we going?" I asked again. "You'll see. You're going to have to walk faster if we want to get there early."
I didn't refuse. But I always hated surprises. Almost an hour later, I could see little lights ahead. He slowed to a walk. He waved his hand out in front of him, introducing me to the little area. He let go of my hand to let me see. I took a step forward and looked around.
It looked like a scene from a fairytale. I was wondering when snow white would come walking through the trees.
On the ground were little white candles lighting a pathway to the middle of the meadow.
He grabbed my hand and took me where the candles led us. He sat me down and we both looked up to the stars. He put his hands behind his head. I personally was cold so I was curled up.
I started to say something, but I didn't want to ruin the moment. "What are you thinking about?" It looks like he wanted to ruin, but he didn't. "Well, I'm cold. And I think what you have done is beautiful. He smiled and wrapped his arm around me.
"So, what is this all about?" I was a little confused. "Well, Alice told me what happened with Charlie." Darn, she ruined the surprise, well, it isn't one anymore. He continued. "I know how you must feel right now, so I made something special to make you forget." I could see out of the corner of my eye, he turned to look at me. I smiled and continued to look at the stars.
"So you really bought lingerie for me?" He broke the silence again. "Us." I corrected him. "Us." He corrected him self.
He stood up, I never noticed, but there was a little pond, not too far from here. He walked over and picked something up and threw it.
I joined him; it looked like he was skipping rocks across the water.
I picked one up, I tossed it, but it sunk. He chuckled next to me. "Here let me show you." He picked up a rock. "You till your wrist to the right, and lightly throw it. I tried to do it, it skipped once and sunk. I laughed and watched him again.
I tried one more time; I only reached to like 4 skips. When he did it, it would skip where you couldn't see it anymore.
We sat around for hours, talking about our problems, giving each other ideas on how to solve them.
I'd bet he had this all planned out. "So, how long have you had this vision in your head?" I waved my hands around, meaning the meadow.
"Forever." He smiled. I didn't notice but there was back ground music playing. I had no idea where it came from. He grabbed my hand and spun me around, like some one did when they were dancing. I looked at his funny. "What?" He knew I couldn't dance. "You know I can't dance." He was trying to figure out something in his head. "Well… Follow my lead." He continued to twirl me around.
We weren't doing anything too special, just swaying to the music. I put my head on his shoulder. He did the same. He had his face in my hair, sighing here and there.
We stood here forever; I couldn't even remember what we were doing before this.
I got tired of standing, but I could stay here forever in his arms.
I heard the song come to an end; he took my hand and led me back to where we were laying.
He would point out stars to me, and tell me about them. He tilted my head up too look at me.
Our eyes met. My eyes were locked in his. I couldn't look away. He tilted my chin up some more, and lightly started to kiss me.
Minutes passed, his lips wouldn't leave mine. I whispered something in his ear. He stopped and looked at me. "What?" He whispered back. I repeated myself.
He continued to kiss me. He started to unbutton my shirt. I stopped to help him. When I started to, he was already done. I pulled his shirt over his head, he continued to kiss me. "I love you." I whispered in his ear. He held me tighter. "I love you too." He repeated my words. This was the first time we ever shared the word: Love. He continued to kiss me. He moved down my jaw, all the way down my neck and back up to my ear, he whispered something again. "You don't know how long I've waited for this." He whispered. "I know. Me too." We drifted into our own little world.
Edward's phone buzzed in his jeans next to us. He dug around till he found it. "Hello." He answered casually, smiling at me. He was listening to who ever it was. "What?" He started to get a worried look into his eyes.
"Ok, we'll be right there." He started to slip his clothes on. "What are you doing?" He didn't answer me he pulled me up and handed me my clothes. "Charlie is looking for you." Oh crap! Charlie! I started to panic. I fixed my hair, he did as well. We started running back to Edward's house. "Wait, what about," He interrupted me. " Alice will pick it up." We continued to run, I wasn't running fast enough, he tried to make me go faster.
Alice met us about ten yards away from the house. I heard Emmett laughing, Rosalie too. Jasper was real quiet by Alice 's side.
"He has every cop in town looking for you!" She explained.
Edward led me to his truck, I buckled myself in, and he pushed on the gas pedal.
I didn't wait for the truck to stop; I unbuckled myself and ran for the house, Edward on my heels. Charlie was sitting on the chair on the porch. "Charlie, it's my fault, I lost the time." I knew it wasn't just Edward's fault. Charlie got up and walked over to me; he grabbed me by the wrist and took me inside.
Edward didn't follow, he watched Charlie take me inside. "Bella! It is three thirty in the morning!" Three thirty? Wow, we did really lose the time. "Dad!" He interrupted me. "Bella! I am so disappointed in you!" He was sticking his finger in my face. "Edward is a nice boy, but." I was so close to pushing Charlie away. "But what!?" I tried to get him to finish his sentence.
"He's not good enough for you!" Charlie always thought no one was good enough for me. "I think he is!" I yelled. "Charlie, it's not your job to tell me who is right for me or not!" He just stared at me. "Bella! You can wind up pregnant!" Anger filled his face. "You are going to your aunt's and that's final!" I felt tears start to come, but I tried to hold them back. "You are going to be miles away from him! You will never be able to see him again!"
"Go upstairs and pack your things, I'm going to call your aunt!" But I didn't go up stairs, I ran out side to where Edward, I hope was still there. He was sitting in the chair Charlie was. He probably heard every word Charlie said. I bet the whole town did.
I ran my fingers through my hair. "I can't believe he's doing this." The bucket of tears I was trying to hold back got too heavy and spilled. Tears ran down my cheeks. He stood up and wiped them away. He was real quiet. He turned for his truck. I put my hand on his shoulder and pulled him back to face me.
"Where are you going?" He just stared at me. He bit his lip, and started to open his mouth. "Bella, your dad is right." He started to say. What did he mean?
"No one will ever be good enough for you, not even me." My tear bucket started to get really heavy. "What?" Was he saying what I thought he was saying?
"Bella, I love you but." Was he pulling a Charlie? "Are you ending this?" I started to get mad at Edward. "I'm not sure." I'm not sure? "Edward. I am leaving, never to return again. And you're trying to split us up just like that?" I snapped my fingers when I said those last three words.
"Huh?" Kept trying to turn and leave, I would pull him by his shoulder to bring him back to me. "Huh?" I repeated. "Well, we'll see how things turn out."
"Fine then! Leave!" I pushed him to where he wanted to go. He turned around and kissed my forehead. I tried to push him away, but I couldn't bring my self too.
He was gone, just like that. I couldn't believe it. My dream was coming to life. My knees were shaking, they finally just gave in, and I fell to the floor. Buckets and buckets of tears crashing everywhere.
Charlie was calling for me. I tried to fix my self. He was still furious. He helped me pack my things. He threw my bags in the back of my truck and got in the drivers side.
I was so torn up inside I couldn't even think straight. About an hour of silence really helped me out though. We finally arrived at the airport; Charlie gave me a hug and wished me a safe flight. I climbed on, almost eager to turn around and race back to forks.
I sat down in my seat; 12 A, and put my face in my hands. Minutes passed my neck started to hurt, but I would much rather have physical pain then mental pain right now. "Ma'am, do you need a pillow?" The women's voice was comforting. "Er, please." I gave her a smile, for the first time in hours.
"Ok, I'll be right back." I sat back in my chair. I was hungry, but I didn't really care. Nothing could fix this big hole in my heart, maybe my heart wasn't even there anymore. Subtle tears started to leak from my eyes.
I wiped them away with the sleeve on my jacket. Minutes passed, the nice woman returned with my pillow and a blanket. "I have a question." She waited for me to ask. "How long till the plane leaves?" She smiled. "We're still waiting for passengers to arrive. So probably another hour or so." She continued to smile and walked to the next person.
I heard a girl behind me asking to have her phone back. Man, I wish life was that easy? Can I have my heart back? Or can you take your words back?
But it wasn't and what was I going to do about it?
I closed my eyes, waiting for the plane to take off. Airplane music always seemed to make me fall asleep easily. I had another nightmare:
I was running, I couldn't seem to reach him, when I would run faster, so would he. It was like he was my shadow, my shadow that would run from me. It was pitch black, no one there to hurt me but my own shadow.
My eyes flew open, I looked out the window the plane was up off the ground. It was blurry, but I knew I was looking over forks. I noticed all the green.
I sighed, I didn't want to go back to sleep.
Edward POV:
When I reached the house, I didn't hesitate; I went to my room and fell onto my bed. I looked over to my nightstand, was a picture of me and Bella sitting on the porch, Bella trying to hide her face from the camera. I placed the picture to where I couldn't feel more pain then what I was in.
I wish I could take my words back, yea, no one will be good enough for her, but if I'm needed in her life, I will be there. It was too late now. In the morning I'll have Alice get the address so I can write her my apologies.
I couldn't sleep, too much on my mind. Since I had nothing to do, I got up, I grabbed a piece of paper, and started to write:
Bella,
I would understand if you never want to speak to me again. I won't take back my words, I meant them, and no one will be good enough for you. But however if you do find someone that is good enough for you, I hope the best of luck. When I said it was over, I will have you know, it isn't for me. I love you Bella. Hopefully we will meet again.
-Edward
I folded up the paper and found an envelope to put it in. I started by putting my address on there.
Morning came, I thought of nothing but to have Alice get Bella's current address. Of course, she wasn't awake yet. I stormed around the house all morning. By now, I decided I would wake her up myself.
I started knocking loudly on her door. " Alice !" I started to bang harder. "Wake up!" I could hear her moaning. "Go away!" She said lifelessly. "I need you to do something for me." She was still moaning. "Your wishes are up boy!" A quiet chuckle came from in the room.
I laughed with her. I could hear her bed squeak, I could tell she was getting up. Like a minute or two later, she opened her door. Her hair was difficult to look at. Different parts of it were sticking out in different directions. I laughed.
"What?" Her voice was really scratchy. "Can you call Charlie for me?" The look on her face said 'what now?' "Ok." Was her only answer. She just stared at me. "I need you to get her current address, but don't say anything about me."
She turned around and limped over to her nightstand. She pulled the cord out of it and flipped it open.
"Hey Charlie." She said with a cheerful tone. "I'm good, you?" I would glimpse over to her wild hair and laugh. It would get me every time. "Yea, I know, I miss her something fierce." She was frowning. "Oh, but I was actually calling for Bella's current address? I wanted to write her and find out what her phone number was.
"Ok, hold on, let me find one." She searched in her room. She dug around in drawers and I guess finally she found what she was looking for. I waited impatiently in her doorway. The toe of my foot could have had a life of its own.
"Ok, I'm ready." She had a pen in hand and was ready to write. Alice 's handwriting was always so neat. "Three three two one South Pyrite lane." She continued to write. "Zip code nine four six nine two. Rochester , New Hampshire ." She put her pen down. "Thanks Charlie. I'll see you around." All I heard was a 'beep'
"Here you go." She handed me the piece of paper filled with her pretty handwriting. "I want that back. She's mine too you know." We both smiled at each other. I started for my room.
I grabbed the letter and put her information on it.
It's been about a month. I hadn't received a letter yet from Bella. What was I thinking? She probably hates everything about me.
I didn't give up though. I still checked the mail every time I had the chance.
I was sitting by the mail box. I didn't even hear Carlisle come out. His voice startled me.
"She still hasn't responded." He was real quiet. "Well, give her some time, she'll come around." He patted my back.
It was like Carlisle could see the future. She did come around, just not as soon as I would like. I got a letter from her in the mail like 3 months later.
She told me how she was, how badly she hates it there, and how much she misses every one. Her final words in her letter were words I didn't expect.
She put a heart by her name at the bottom. Next to it was my three favorite words to hear from her; I love you. I smiled and continued to send her letters.
A/N: So, do you guys like? I think I already said it, but I love the way this story is going. I hope you guy's too. Keep reviewing! I need motivations to keep writing. 33
