Chapter Two
Memories
Bella's POV
Stop, I said to myself, just breathe. I'm sure they left for a reason.
What reason? To avoid me?
No, they loved me I know that.
My mind raced back to that time when he proposed. We had spent what seemed like hours together in our meadow. Me, gazing lovingly at the love of my life sparkling in the sunlight. His inhuman diamond-like skin was intriguing. So hard yet so soft and beautiful.
His hand reached out and caressed my bare skin. It sent shivers down my spin. His words shook me from my thoughts.
"Bella", he breathed, his voice deep and inviting, "Permit me to progress our relationship", he asked.
His hand reached mine and slowly pulled me up. As we reached our full heights he began lowering himself. The question in my eyes was enough for Edward.
"Permit me Bella. Permit me to carry out the tradition", his voice was deep with emotion as he continued to lower himself. His left knee hit the ground first with a soft thud. As he kneeled before me, his hand held a black velvet box.
"Bella, my heart has been yours from the moment we met", he began and his vulnerability shone through his voice.
"The scent of your blood drew me to you, but your soul kept me by your side. I have never loved another as I love you. Allow me to make our relationship concrete. Allow me the honour of becoming your husband. Bella, my love, will you marry me?" And with this he placed the ring on my finger. And then looked up...
I never vocalized my disbelief and horror at marrying so young but it must have shone through my eyes. Edward's eyes hardened. He had stood and left.
I had met him next in Volterra where he had attempted to die. Die, for my stupidity. I had reassured him that I loved him from the depth of my heart before we had met them. The three. The famed three. Yet Edward had left me, exactly a week later.
"Bella? Are you okay?" asked Jacob.
His words jolting me out of my memories.
"Sorry, I was just thinking" I replied sheepishly.
"Do you wanna go outside, where you can actually hear your own thoughts?" he asked with a cheeky grin.
"That would be a good idea!", I replied. I hoped Jacob would accompany me, I really didn't want to think about them again.
In my story Edward leaves Bella because of her reaction when he proposes. He then goes to the Volturi where Bella saves him. But when they get back, Edward became more and more distant until eventually he and the other Cullens left. This is where my story starts from.
Regarding Jacob's transformation, in my story that hasn't happened yet. He still thinks badly of Sam.
Many thanks to milifemiway for bringing this to my attention and thanks for the review guys.
