Thank you so much for the reviews! Okay so here we go, chapter two. Starts off with a flashback then comes forward again.
We sat together on the balcony of his apartment holding hands looking at the beautiful sunset. It was heading towards twilight and the sky was amazing.
"Bella, my love, I want to spend forever like this." Edward whispered kissing my cheek lightly. I blushed bright red and he gave me the most perfect crooked smile. "I love it when you blush." He said in my ear.
"Edward, you know I love you right?" I questioned, hoping he would know the answer by heart now. "I know, and I you. But I do have one question for you." He spoke tenderly with a hint of mischief in his voice.
"What's that?" I smiled brightly at him. He took a ring out of his pocket, the one that lay on his mother's hand up until her passing two weeks ago. "Will you marry me?"
The memories came flooding back and I looked at the boy sitting right next to me. His topaz eyes matched mine only I could almost see this boys soul. Deja Vu. His golden brown hair was ruffled around a bit but in a way that was much too beautiful for any regular boy. His pale skin was reflective of my own. His mouth was slightly a gape and confused looking.
"Edward?" I whispered so low that only he could hear it. No, Edward was dead, he died long ago. And with his death he took all the was right in the world, he took happiness, brightness, and my heart. He left me for the afterlife which I could never see. He looked at me and if he could cry he would. "How?" He questioned more himself than I. I quickly stood up.
"Sir, I need to leave!" I yelled at the teacher as I bolted out of the room at human speed. I felt eyes bore into my back as I was leaving but I didn't care. Reading that note before class only gave me false hopes. I was seeing things now. I ran out to my car and sat in the front seat turning on the radio. Debussy filled my car and I closed my eyes rubbing the bridge of my nose. No this could not be happening.
Through the music I heard footsteps on the gravel at the end of the parking lot. Before I knew it I felt a presence at my window. I looked up and there he was, this god-like teenage boy from science.
"Isabella, please open the door." His voice muffled not by the car door between us. I couldn't just sit here so I opened the door after shutting the car off and stood in front of him.
"Who are you?" I questioned, more like a whisper. He smiled and took my hands in his. "Bella, it's me, Edward. Can't you recognize me?" He was beaming now. I couldn't help by smile back at him.
"Edward. Oh I was so sure you were gone, forever taken away from me." I nearly cried. I wrapped my arms around him enjoying his embrace. He smelled wonderfully, like a drug I couldn't get enough of.
"Oh Bella, we have so much to talk about!" He said kissing my cheek. It felt wonderful, it felt right. I pulled back and looked at his face. "How could you leave me for so long without telling me you were alive!" I shouted at him. I didn't care if anyone heard me.
"Bella, don't you realize, I thought you were dead! I couldn't go near you for fear I would kill you and by the time I was able to go near people again I saw your tombstone. Isabella Marie Swan. Cause of death, Spanish Influenza. I remember it like it was yesterday." He spoke with a shaky tone. If he could cry I'm almost positive he would be. "Edward, I saw your tombstone too. Replace my name with yours and that was it. You were gone from my life and I thought I was going to die." My eyes stung, the tears frozen behind my eyelids burning.
Edward hugged me again kissing the top of my head. "Bella please don't be upset. Love, we can be together now, forever." He was blissful standing here. "Edward, I want to know everything, what have you been doing, who changed you, why did you wait so long to come back?" I couldn't stop with the questions. He let me go and leaned against my car lightly.
"Bella, do you remember Dr. Carlisle Cullen?" He questioned. I knew Cullen sounded familiar. I nodded. "Well, he was the one who saved me. He's like my new father. I have an entire new family." He was joyful in mentioning him. "So does that mean you've found someone else?" I said hopelessly, staring at the ground. He picked my head up with his long white finger.
"Bella, There was NEVER anyone else. Come I'll show you. I'm sure Alice has seen this happening and we are all going to meet at our home right now." He said heading towards the shiny Volvo a few spots over. "What, seen it coming?" I was completely confused now. "Just get in your car and follow me my love." He called as he hopped in his car. I shrugged my shoulders and got in the car. I was reunited with my love and finally we could start our lives together like planned... or so I thought.
Flashback
I walked up to the grave spot which held my beloved. I looked at the tombstone. Edward Anthony Masen. June 20, 1901-1918. Cause of death: Spanish influenza. Tears came from my eyes freely. Why did my one true love leave me like this? I had to be with him again.
