Chapter 4:
Bella's POV:
Here I stood in the living room of the home of my childhood sweetheart with my phone attached to my ear waiting with abated breath to see how he will react to the letter his brother just handed him. I feel like time is standing still everything in my future is waiting to see what Edward's reaction will be. I can feel the tremors in my body this is such a pivotal moment. I just hope he will give me a chance to explain.
"Emmett what is he doing? Is he reading it now?"
"Calm down, I will let you know what he says after he reads the letter he is just now opening it up"
"Oh God, I don't know if I can do this. "
"Yes, you can, you need to do this, it has been a long time coming."
Edward's POV:
Emmett just hands me this letter from someone and wants me to read it and all I am thinking is what the hell is going on and does this have anything to do with the bacholer party. That is when I look down and see my name written in that all to familiar handwriting. I would know this writing from anywhere even if it has been five years. I am a little taken back no contact and all of sudden I am holding something from the girl that broke my heart and completely destroyed for some many years. My hand starts to shake and I look over at Emmett and notice he is still on the phone and I know it is her. Oh God I don't think I can do this.
"Emmett what is the meaning of this?"
"Edward calm down and just read that letter it is important please trust me on this."
I look at him and just nod my head. Shutting my eyes and taking a deep breath I start to open a letter that could very well send me back into a very dark place. A place that has taken years to come out of from the love of my family and the love of a good woman.
Dear Edward,
I hear congratulations is in order for you. By the time you receive this, it should be about two weeks before your wedding. I want to start off by saying how happy I am for you. I want only the best for you. I know you are probably sitting somewhere reading this and saying why now and all kinds of thoughts and feelings are going through your head. I feel that I owe some closure so you can move on with your life and it can be the best and brightest it can be. In order for me do that I must ask a very big favor of you, could you please meet me in forks there are some things I must talk with you about but I feel that you need to hear them straight from me and not just in a letter. I would really like to see you one more time. Could you find it in your heart to meet me at your family's estate tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. I know I have no right to ask such a big favor from you and if you find that you don't want to meet me that is okay too.
Emmett has two envelopes one is a plane ticket for you and the other is a letter addressed to your parents. I have some explaining to do to them also. If you chose not to come Emmett has my permission to tell you himself for he already knows what my dirty little secret is. Please don't be mad at him, he loves you very much and he has wanted for me to tell you for so long. Just please come Edward you only have to see me for a moment but I think we both need this to move on with our lives.
I will be waiting.
Always thinking of you,
Bella
I finished reading the letter from Emmett and I know only one thing I have to go and see her, but what am I going to do about Lisa?
"Emmett, if that is Bella tell her I am coming. Give me that damn plane ticket."
Emmett's POV:
"Listen Bella I think I better go and help Edward get out of here, because ready or not he is coming."
"Alright Emmett tell him I will see him tomorrow."
"Bye Bella I will call you later."
Edward we need to get you the airport you flight leaves in two hours. Before you say anything don't worry about Lisa I already took care of that and the little Pixie is on it. Come bro let's get you out here your bag is already in my car.
Edward's POV:
I run out the door and hop in Emmett's jeep. I can not believe it after all this time I am finally going to get some answers. I have so many thoughts running through my head. I would really love to pester Emmett I know he knows what is going on. I just want to hear it from Bella. I sit in silence and get ready to face my past so I can move on to my future. When I first read that note from Bella I was stunned I just was not prepared to get a letter from my high school sweat heart after all these years and then have her want to see me to explain why she just dumped me for no reason and ignored everyone in my family. I knew she was right though in order for me to totally move on I need answers and I am not leaving Forks until I get them. When we got to the airport and I just looked at Emmett.
"Emmett when are you going the letter to mom and dad ?"
" I am giving it to them tonight Edward, so they can understand why you are not here. Don't ask me for any information either. This you have to get from Bella personally."
"Your right, I have waited to long to know why I was dropped so coldly and why it took her so long to contact me. I will see you in a few days."
I hug Emmett and took off to find out exactly what gate I need. I knew in a few hours everything was going to change whether it was going to be for the better or not I guess I will just have to wait and see.
