Bella POV
Jake called me tonight to tell me he's getting married again… ONLY 3 MONTHS AFTER OUR DIVORCE WENT THROUGH. The kids are going to be devastated. Why did he have to be so sleazy, why did he have to tell me, it's going to set me back again, I only with things could have turned out normal for me, I decided to go for a drive, Seattle is a beautiful place this time of year
*** Flashback ***
It wasn't long after I left Edward and Forks that I met Jake, we were great friends, and then that started to change, we had known each other for 3 years when he asked me on a date, I agreed and it all continued from there, about 3 months after that I fell pregnant with Xandier, a year after that we got married in a registry office, and only had Alice there to sight the event. I still wasn't over Edward, and over the loss of my first child. Jake didn't know, he just thought I had run away from home because of my parents, whom I don't talk to. So we had another 5 children, and things turned bad when I was 5 months pregnant with our youngest son Xavier, we separated which devastated the older kids, Rose and Joey being only 4 didn't understand, but Xandier, Sally and Lucy did. It took a year to get him to agree to a divorce, and it took forever to get the paperwork filled, plus we had to go to court because there were kids from the marriage.
*** end flashback ***
I had driven to the highest point in Seattle without realising it, which overlooked the whole city, what I wasn't expecting was a man and his 6 kids, as I pulled up next to their car they turned and looked to see who was the crazy woman driving up and ruining their peaceful experience, I soon realised they were the people that where moving in 3 houses up from mine.
I decided to be polite and introduce myself, as I walked over I heard the man chastise his kids for staring.
"hi, my name is Bella Bl-Swan, I live 3 houses up from you" I said willing the despair in my voice not to show
"Hi I'm Edward Masen" said the man-Edward with a sound of shock in his voice
I tried to remember where he looked familiar from, but it didn't work, so I said a polite see you later to him and walked a little further along the view point so I was a few mitres away from him and is kids, and it clicked, Edward Masen is Edward Cullen, as in my high school boyfriend whom was the reason I moved to Seattle. I quickly turned and ran to my car, but he beat me to it and crushed me into the tightest hug.
"Bella, Bells, please why are you running, why did you run away from me all those years ago" he said while I felt something wet fall into my hair.
"please, let me go Edward" I said holding back the tears and failing as they fell down my cheeks, which only made him pull me in tighter, I finally get the strength to pull away from him and push him out of the way so I could get into my car.
