Chapter two: Revelations and Dreams
Last Time:
Slowly, I stood up and turned towards the screen door to go back inside to make myself breakfast, or go somewhere to get groceries to make breakfast. I glanced back over my shoulder with a glimpse of hope that somehow I had imagined the sunrise, but alas, my hope is shattered to pieces by the reality of time. But hope came over me. I'm not sure why, but a general sense of hope filled me, making me at peace with everything that has happened with my parents and this house and the summer to come.
Just as I was getting up from my comfortable position on the porch, I did not expect what I saw next approaching my house. Jogging down the dusty country road had to have been a vision of my imagination. The most gorgeous guy I had ever seen in my entire life was jogging down the road towards my house. With the sun just rising, it caught in his hair making it a reddish bronze color that I have only seen on one other person. Slowly, he advanced towards the house; I saw two of the most smothering green eyes that could have melted me in one look if I had not broken eye contact with him. But as he got even closer, something seemed oddly familiar about him. Just as I thought he was slowing down, h sped back up as soon as we made eye contact again.
"Hmph," I muttered under my breath. "I know I don't look that great in the morning, but really! He could have just said hi or acknowledged a new neighbor!" Then I retreated back into the house so that I could shower and change for the day.
I decided as I was getting ready that I would go back home and grab all my clothes and possessions because I would live in the middle of no where…for a while at least. The house and its peaceful surroundings were really starting to grow on me…almost like I really belonged there for some reason.
On my way back to my new home, I couldn't keep my mind off of the jogger this morning. Soon enough, I ended up back at my new home, and began unpacking the boxes that contained everything that I owned. As I was unpacking my boxes of books, a piece of paper fell out of one that I didn't know I had: Romeo and Juliet.
I opened the letter quickly thinking it was going to be an old receipt that I had used as a bookmark or something like that, but upon unfolding it, I found that it was from an old friend that I hadn't seen or spoken to in years. It said,
"Bella,
I cannot believe that this has to happen now that I have you. Why when I first say hello I have to say goodbye the next day? Bella, I'll be completely honest with you, everyday I catch myself daydreaming about you. How incredibly beautiful you are! How your smile always makes my day better when I am having one of the worst days ever. I wish I had told you my true feelings as soon as I figured them out. Bella, I'm falling for you fast and hard! I cannot imagine what life will be now that you are gone. Always remember that I will be here waiting for you whenever you come back. And if you don't come back soon, I'll come looking for you! Bella I will always love you!
With All My Love,
Edward"
By the end of the letter, tears were streaming down my face. How could I have not realized this before? The jogger was Edward! My first and to this day, my only true love! Sure I had dated, but I couldn't help but always compare them to how amazing Edward was, and how he was such a gentleman. We hadn't talked or had contact in eight years. When I was fifteen, mom and Phil moved me out to live with Charlie in Forks, Washington because Phil's baseball career was really taking off. I ended up staying in Forks until college when I moved to Nashville, Tennessee. During those years, mom and Phil never made contact with me, and I didn't try to talk to them, but they would always send me gifts for birthdays and Christmas. The Romeo and Juliet book was one of the gifts they gave me my first year in Forks. I now wish I had read it instead of throwing it in the back of my closet.
That night, I dreamt of Edward and the day I had to leave…
"Edward, how did you find this place?" I asked looking around me in amazement.
"I was jogging this morning, and I thought of you when I found it," he said smiling.
"O Edward! I do like it! It's the most beautiful place I've ever seen in my entire life! I've never seen anything like it!" I said as I gave him a hug.
Edward's face broke out in a breath taking crooked grin as we pulled away that made me want to melt.
The meadow was surrounded by huge green, leafy trees that reached up higher than the fluffy white clouds in the sky. The grass was all overgrown yet so green. And amongst the grass were beautiful wild flowers. Some pink, some purple, some yellow, some big while some were extremely small, in every color and size and shape I could have ever imagined! And a little ways back there was a lake that looked like it belonged perfectly in the area.
And the smell…how to describe it?! The meadow smelled not only of fresh flowers right before they bloom, but also as if it had just rained! Two of my favorite smells in the entire world!
I had gotten lost in the gorgeous scenery all around me. Turning around to admire its splendor, I noticed that Edward wasn't in front of me. I quickly turned around again, but only to find Edward standing behind me holding out his hand with a bouquet of wild flowers.
Smiling, I took them happily. Then I noticed Edward staring at his shoes nervously. I walked up t him slowly. "What's wrong? You know you can tell me anything! We're best friends, and always have been!" I said almost whispering.
Edward looked up at me sticking his hands in the pickets of his shorts, and quietly asked, "Bellswouldyoubemygirlfriend?"
"What did you say? You said it really quietly"
"Bells," he said then took a deep breath, "would you…would you be my girlfriend?" he asked finally looking into my eyes.
A smile broke out on my face when I nodded and said yes.
Edward looked up at me with a small smile on his face, "Really?"
"Really, really!"
His entire face lit up with how happy he was at that moment. Then he became nervous again.
"Edward, what's wrong now?" I asked taking hold of one of his hands.
"This…" he said holding up our clasped hands, "this seems too good to be true!" he said quietly.
I smiled at him and shook my head.
"What?"
"Nothing, I just think its funny because I was thinking the same thing."
Edward beamed and gave me a peck on the lips. Stunned I looked at him, and he had this guilty look on his face. Usually he would never be that bold, for as long as I knew him he had been the perfect gentleman, never someone to kiss a girl so unexpectedly like that.
"I am sooooo sorry," he said after he saw my expression.
Again I smiled and laughed a little bit. "Edward, it's ok. You just shocked me, thats all."
We spent the whole afternoon together. Holding hands and talking about what the summer would hold for the both of us, and just being content in each others presence. All too soon, the sun began to drop down below the tree tops illuminating the tops of them and making the sky a beautiful yellow orange. As Edward and I walked back home hand in hand, the sun filtered through the tree branches silhouetting them making them the most beautiful scene I have seen in a long time.
When we arrived to my house, Edward pecked my check, smiled and said goodbye, then walked a few doors down to his house. Upon entering my house it didn't feel right. There were boxes and suitcases by the door, and as I entered my room I noticed that most of my stuff was gone or boxed up and in the corner. As I spun around I nearly fell to the ground from bumping into my mom. More mad than I can ever remember being I asked her, "Mom, what's going on?"
Calmly she replied, "Honey, Phil got a call today…."
I shook my head to let her know I was following. "And…" I asked impatient for an answer.
"And he has a really good chance of making it big! So we decided that it would be best that because we will be moving around a lot with his new job, you are going to live in Forks with Charlie. Doesn't that sound like fun?! A new adventure!" She said with too much enthusiasm for my liking.
No! No, that was not alright with me. That did not sound like fun! But I didn't let my mother know what was going on inside of me. I just remained quiet and didn't respond. A hot tear made it's long, slow journey down my cheek followed by countless more after it. Mom just held me thinking that I was going to miss them a great deal. And while I was going to miss them a bit, I was going to miss Edward even more.
I awoke with a jolt in a cold sweat early in the morning breathing heavily. After I calmed myself down a bit, I took a shower to try to clear my head. After throwing on a pair of jeans and a comfortable t-shirt I went downstairs to make myself a pot of coffee. As I was starring out the living room window sipping my coffee, Edward came jogging down the road again. Only this time, he stopped, and stared right at me with a look that I could not read for the life of me.
Sneak peak into the next chapter:
Edward's POV!! (It's a first ever for me!)
Peering into the window, I couldn't believe who was looking back at me from the inside of the house. I thought she had disappeared eight years ago never to return. She had never spoken to me or tried to make contact with me (as far as I know).
And i want to give a big thank you to my betas! and some of my friend for helping me out writing that letter...it was harder than you would think :) Please Review and let me know what you think! The more reviews the more chapters!! I less than three you! ~ LiveAndDontRegretIt
