Chapter 3

Edward's Visit

When I got home I decided to just let him come over and tell him it was over for good. I couldn't let this ruin a career that was barely started. If it were any other situation maybe it would work. I was only just turned twenty-two and he was eighteen. It was just the fact that he was a student. I would have to break it off with him and soon. I didn't want to look too "tempting" as he put it so I decided to change into some comfy clothes and throw my hair up in a messy bun. I had come to a resolve and there was no turning back. I heard a knock at the door and went to get it. I was not expecting what I saw. In front of me were my two best friends and they had two boxes of pizza and some of our favorite movies.

"We are here to celebrate your first day as 'Ms. Swan amazing kick ass literature teacher' with you." Alice said barely able to contain her excitement as she jumped up and down.

"Well, Bells don't look so happy to see us." Rose said noticing the look of discomfort on my face. Not only were my two best friends here, but also my teenage lover was on his way over, and they did not know about him either.

"I'm sorry, guys you just surprised me. Come in its cold out there." I said stepping out of the way of the door plastering the best imitation of a smile on my face.

"No biggie, we brought beer!" Rose shouted back as she walked into my kitchen. She reemerged with plates and chilled glasses from my freezer. While she was doing that Alice put the pizzas on my coffee table and went to put in one of the movies. I just stood by the door wondering what to do next. I didn't realize the door was open until out of the corner of my eye I saw the familiar disheveled bronze hair in his silver Volvo as he pulled into my driveway. 'Shit' internally cursing myself.

"Hey guys I'm gonna go check my mail, I'll be right back." I shouted closing the door behind me. His emerald green eyes lit up as he saw me approaching but quickly turned concerned when he noticed my flustered state and also notice the unfamiliar car. He quickly jumped out of the car and met me halfway with fury and pain apparent in his eyes.

"Is this why you want to break it off with me? Are you with someone else? So help me Bella, I'll kill him!" he said with clenched fists at his side. He rushed past me headed for the door but I grabbed his arms before he could get too far.

"No! Edward, my friends Rose and Alice came to surprise me and to celebrate my first day. I would never do that to you." I said while my voice cracked and the traitor tears streamed down my face. I had never seen him like this before and it scared me.

"Oh Bella, I am so sorry, baby, please don't cry." He took me in his arm and kissed the tears away and rub soothing circles on my back. I always felt better just being in his arms. 'no Bella you have to be strong time to be strong.'

"Edward you have to go before they see you." I realized they could see by simply looking out the kitchen window. I lived in the middle of nowhere on a dirt road, so no one could see him here but my friends could.

"I really wanted to talk, we have to figure this out before…." But I cut him off with my lips. Kissing Edward was like nothing I had ever experienced before. It wasn't a kiss of casualness or just physical. It was as if our souls were intertwining. I felt complete and whole in that moment. I realized I would need air soon and that we could possibly have an audience, so I reluctantly broke the kiss. I pulled back but our foreheads were still touching and each breath he let out I would pull in. Just to enjoy the taste and smell of him.

"Why……do I feel……like that…was goodbye?" he said in between breaths. The tears began to form again as the realization hit me. I was saying goodbye to the only man who ever made me feel whole.

"I didn't mean it like that, I just, I don't know." I managed to choke out. Because in all honesty I didn't know.

"I don't want to let you go Bella. Even if we can't be together I'll wait as long as you need me to, just please, don't let this be the end for us. I couldn't take losing you. I love you more than you'll ever know." He told me with his own tears spilling over. Something so beautiful shouldn't ever be so sad.

Then three things happened all at once while I was in Edward's arms.
