Chapter One He's Gone
"Bella, I don't want you". Edward's words echoed in my head and ripped through my chest like a torpedo. I needed him. He was my everything. My everything, was gone. He thought I was just another pathetic human. I lay here on my be wishing I could see HIM as a human. I have always wished to see him as a human, now I wished for it more then anything. I wanted to see him when he was sick with the Spanish flu. I knew it was strange, even odd but it was what I wanted. Maybe I could talk him out of leaving now. Then a little light fluttered outside my window.
A little fairy waved what looked like a wand and next thing I knew I was standing, fully clothed in a very old fashion hospital. I looked at the date and saw I was in the time when Edward had the Spanish flu. That would mean I was in the hospital he was in. She laughed and said in a musical voice, "you have thirty minutes before you get sent back to your own time". I could hear lots of people coughing and hacking. I walked to the receptionist and asked in a very sweet voice, "I am looking for Edward Mason". She guided me down the hall until we reached a room with five empty beds and one occupied. Edward sat in his bed looking sicker then anyone I'd ever seen in my life. His face was pale and sickly looking except for his cheeks which were beet red. His eyes were glassed over in a way that made me really feel sorry for him. He coughed a cough that was full of mucus, congestion and trouble. He was clearly have trouble even breathing. I sat down beside him and took his warm hand in mine.
He starred up at me with his wide green eyes. "Do I know you?" He asked clearly confused. I kissed his cheek and said, "no, but you will". He pulled away and asked in a very weak voice, "are you an angel?" I knew I couldn't tell the truth so I said, "yes, I have some advice for you. When you find love, do not pass it up unless you feel it for the absolute best". I knew he was confused. I just said to him, "you will understand it one day". I lyed down beside him and held him in my arms and looking at his beautiful face, as he slept. I listened to his uneven breathing. He opened his eyes and reached into the drawer beside him. He pulled out a charm for a bracelet. He handed it to me. "For my angel" he explained. I kissed him on the lips. He pulled me closer, into an embrace. We pulled apart and I watched as he grinned and fell into a peaceful sleep. I laid beside him and closed my eyes.
I opened my eyes to see I was in my room in the same outfit I was wearing to see Edward. I still had the charm for the bracelet in my hand. I knew it wasn't a dream because of the charm. I finally knew that he left for what he thought was a good reason. Or maybe he really didn't care. I attached it to my bracelet and went downstairs to eat breakfast. I wasn't really hungery but I at anyway. I got into my truck and drove of to school.
School was boring up until biology. Mike had taken the liberty of sitting next to me during every class we shared. Today he was acting kind of jumpy around me. I tried to ignore the creepy boy but he kept nervously talking to me. The bell rang and Mike looked like he was seriously going to throw up. I was about to ask what was wrong but he had already pulled me into a kiss. I pushed him of and kicked him in the leg. He stared at me with shocked eyes and then grasped his leg in pain. I ran from the classroom and onto a grassy patch. I was feeling kind of winded. I sat down in the grass.
I must have fallen asleep because I woke up to hear the bell ringing. I sat up in time to see a silver Volvo pulling into the school parking lot.
Edward's short POV
Guilt and anger pulsed through me. I can't believe the pain I put Bella through. I knew she was suffering. Alice was screaming curse words in my head most of the time. Then again who wasn't. Even Rosalie was pretty angry at me. But I knew that leaving was for the best. I ran downstairs into the living room and sat down. The room emptied pretty quickly because nobody wanted to be in the same room as me right now. I went into a flash back of when I was dying.
Flashback I was sitting up in my bed when an angel let herself into my room. I couldn't see much of her face but I could tell she was more beautiful then anyone I had ever met. She came over an took my hand. I asked her "do I know you?" The angel kissed my cheek and then said in a beautiful voice "no, but you will". I looked at her confused. "Are you an angel?" She paused for a second and then said, "yes, I have some advice for you. When you find love, do not pass it up unless you feel it for the absolute best". I had no idea what she was talking about. She simply said "you will understand one day". She lied down beside me and took me in her arms. I fell into an uneven sleep. I woke uo and she was still there, looking into my eyes and holding me in her arms. I knew I had something for her. I reached into my drawer with difficulty because my arm weighed so much. I handed he a heart charm from the drawer. "For my angel" I explained as she took it. She kissed me gently on the lips. I pulled her into an embrace and kissed her a little but harder. We pulled apart and I felt better then I had in weeks. I grinned as I fell into a very peaceful sleep. End
I never really did get a clear look at the angels face. But her words were an epiphany. I knew I had to follow my angels words. I had to go back for My Bella. Alice squealed downstairs. She knew what I was going to do. She ran upstairs and thought loudly, we will pack and meet you in Forks. Go to Bella. I ran out to my Volvo and sped towards Forks as fast as the car would allow me. I finally pulled into the school lot to see Bella sitting on the grass kind of groggy like she just waking up from a nap. She saw me and her face pulled into a smile. The kids leaving the school looked at me with wide eyes. I pushed the car door open, being careful not to rip the door off. I ran towards the love of my life and kissed her passionately on the lips. I apologized a million times but it was like she had forgiven me before I even got there.
