Chapter Three: Why is this Happening?
Bella's POV
I woke up the next morning and Jake was snoring. I wonder how Charlie didn't catch him. I slipped out of Jacob's arms and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. I sat on the floor of the shower just letting the hot water run down my back as I recalled the dream I had last night…
******Bella's Dream******
I snuggled into Edward's chest and sighed. It was a sigh of contentment. I had never felt this safe in my life. Edward was my life line; the only thing holding to this Earth. He was perfect and I didn't deserve him, even so, I had him. He was mine and no one else's. I looked up at him and smiled and he looked down on me with that crooked smile I loved. I giggled softly and touched his cheek. "I love you Edward." I laid my head on his shoulder and smiled.
"I love you too Bella." He replied, and the way he said my name made me shiver. "My sweet Bella…" He whispered. I took one of his hands in mine and stood up, pulling him up with me. He shook his head and chuckled as I started twirling around the room. He suddenly picked me up and spun me around in his arms before setting me back down.
I sat back down then, and he sat next to me. He stroked my cheek and I leaned my face into his palm. This felt so right, Edward and I together. Like we were destined to be with each other. But in this moment it didn't matter why, all that mattered was that he was here with me. Edward Cullen chose me.
******End Dream******
It was in that moment I realized I was crying. At first I thought it was only the water streaming down from the shower head. But oh no, I was crying. Pull it together Bella! You are with Jacob now, forget Edward! Easier said then done. I got out of the shower and threw on some comfortable jeans and a long sleeve, thermal shirt. I walked back into my bedroom and sat on the edge of my bed. Suddenly, Jake jolted upright and was growling at me. Once he realized who it was, and he saw the way I was taken aback, he stopped the furious rumbling noise emitting from his chest. "Sorry, Bells." He apologized soothingly. "I didn't know who it was." He smiled crookedly which made me think of the dream I had last night. A twinge of pain shot through my chest.
"It's alright Jake. I was just afraid you were going to eat me!" I joked. He chuckled and gave me a swift kiss on the cheek.
"I have to get going now hunny. I'll see you later."
"Bye Jake." I smiled softly at him. As soon as he was out the window and out of site I broke down. The sobs racked my body like a house in a tornado. Edward, Edward, Edward! I need you! Tears streamed down my face as I thought about the beautiful angel boy. The boy I had let slip through my fingers. How the hell could I let that happen? Jake. Remember Jake, Bella. That's right. I had done this out of my love for Jacob. If I love Jacob so damn much why am I crying over my lost love, Edward?
I tried to pull myself together. I needed to just calm down. I took long deep breaths, and by the time I was under control of my emotions there was a knock at the door. I stood up and walked downstairs. When I reached the door I opened it but there was no one there. I was about to close the door when I noticed a single sheet of paper folded neatly in half with my name on it. I noticed the hand-writing. It was his.
I picked up the paper and shut the door. Before I unfolded it, I walked to the couch and took a seat in case my legs gave out. I flipped open the paper and it read in his perfect script: It's not too late to change your mind.- Edward.
I held back tears. He had heard, and possibly seen, me crying. That meant he was watching me. In a way, I was glad. Glad that he still cared about me. But in another way, I felt betrayed. I don't even know why, but it could be the fact that he was watching me and Jacob together. My glad feeling seemed to out-weigh the betrayal I felt. My insides were smiling at the thought that Edward had been watching me. I felt the tears run down my face again as I thought about this. Edward… Jacob… Hadn't I already caused enough damage? Now I'm considering doing more? No. No, that won't happen. I made a choice and I'm sticking to it. But… Edward…
Why is this happening to me?
Okay so what did you think? Sorry, this chapter is a bit short.
