Even though I had briefly seen Edward in the trauma room for five seconds I wasn't expecting him to be standing in front of me, talking to me. He was wearing hunter green surgical scrubs; they made his green eyes stand out even more. His bronze hair was just as messy as ever, but I couldn't ignore the pained look in his gorgeous eyes. I was thankful for the excuse to get away from Mike Newton, but I was afraid to talk to Edward. He pulled me into an empty patient room where we could talk in private.
"Bella" He said as he pinched the bridge of his nose "What are you doing here?"
"I work here Edward."
"That's, that's not what I meant."
"What did you mean then Edward?" I for some reason found myself becoming slightly annoyed with him. He sighed.
"I mean why did you come back to Forks? You left without telling anyone, you stopped answering my calls, and every time I asked your Father what happened I thought he was going to kill me."
"I had to come back to take care of Charlie. And I really don't see why you care. I obviously wasn't good enough for you; you had some tart on the side that you feel in love with." I turned to walk away I felt my face becoming red and tears forming in my eyes. I so badly wanted to yell at him some more but I couldn't. I felt a hand grip my upper right arm and turned to see Edward grabbing me. He quickly let go when he realized he was starting to hurt me.
"Sorry" he said quickly "But what are you talking about? What other girl? You are the one who left me without an explanation and then just disappeared for 5 years." His eyes were sort of watery.
"Tanya!" I half yelled. "That night when you left to go talk to Emmett she called your phone and I answered and she told me everything. She said that you were in love with her and she told me how you guys screwed like rabbits and that I was just a waste of time. I was a toy for you to play with and you were going to leave me after graduation. She told me to read the texts. I couldn't believe the things I saw." I felt tears roll down my cheeks slowly. Why did I have to run into him today?
"Tanya?" He asked like eh was stumped. "Are you talking about the skanky cheerleader from Clallam Bay? She was sending me creepy text messages for weeks after we played them in hockey I still don't know how she got my number." He sort of laughed at it but then acted like something clicked. "Is that why you broke up with me and left? You thought I was with her?"
"You weren't?" Tears were coming harder now.
"No. Ugh God NO! I was so madly in love with you that no one else seemed to exist in my mind."
"What would you expect me to think? You had been acting weird for nearly a month straight and then she called and the things she said, I just, I believed what she said. You had been distant so it all made sense." I don't even know if he could understand what I was saying because of all the tears.
"Bella I…." He began to say.
"I, I gotta go pick up my daughter." I stammered out and began to leave the room. I took one last look at him and it looked like I had broken him with that last statement. About our daughter that he didn't know about. I felt guilty but I didn't want to talk to him right now about all of this. My shift had finally ended and I was leaving to go get my Allie. As I drove to the preschool a series of questions went through my mind, is he with anyone? Is he single still? What if he is in love with someone else? Do I want him to be in love with someone else? As I asked myself these questions I realized I wasn't over him, a part of me was still in love with him. I calmed myself down before I went into the school to pick up Allie I didn't want her or Alice to see me upset. When I had calmed enough I went in to find my daughter more than excited to see me and she introduce me to her new friends Shannon and Meighan. As I made my way home Allie and I stopped for a pizza and rented a few movies for the night. It was around 7 when we got home from our errands and I gave Allie a bath and changed us both into pajamas and made popcorn for our movies. Allie picked the first movie and we watched Madagascar, one of her favorite movies, she had an obsession with giraffes ever since the first time we went to a zoo. When the movie was almost over the doorbell rang. Allie who was almost asleep on the couch jumped up before me and beat me to the door. She opened the door before I had even made it out of the living room, I heard her say "Hi I'm Allie! Who are you?" when I came to the door I was face to face with a speechless Edward.
"Allie sweetie why don't you go watch the movie okay sweetie?"
"Okay" she said slightly disappointed not getting an answer on who was the door and she slowly walked back into the living room. "Edward what are you doing here?" I choked out.
