After Alice's call, I watched as Charlie wrote something on a piece of paper. Suddenly he looked to the right like he'd been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He hurriedly ripped off the piece of paper and shoved it in his pocket as he walked out the front door with Bella. She was bearing her bikini top and some cargo shorts, along with some brown thongs. She had her mp3 player earphones tucked into her ears and Charlie was so oblivious I don't think either of them realised I was following them. I just had to make sure Bella was okay.
Sure you did
Keep out of this
Im as much a part of this as you are, admit it. You're following Bella in hopes she needs to be saved and you just 'happen' to be there
Go away
I can't, idiot
He had a point……
After about 3 minutes of walking, Bella's step had a bit more step into it. By the time we got to where we were going – a small, almost deserted beach (There were a few people sunbathing and surfing, but otherwise harmless) – she was full blown dancing. Even when she almost fell over her own feet – and it took me everything I had not to run up and save her every time – she was amazing, beautiful and surprisingly graceful for someone as gravity challenged as Bella.
When we got to the beach, I found a nice spot near the small bridge over the sand, where I could see them- but they couldn't see me. Isnt that a bit....... My thought didn't finish. Wow, was this becoming a frequent thing, or was it only because Bella was gone. I was hoping in a way that it was the latter, but if I had to put up with it to get Bella back, I would. She was more than worth it, I shouldn't even think this but I would do anything for her. It was be physically and mentally impossible for me to say no, deny her anything.
Bella decided to sun bathe a little first. The sun was going down, and while it was still bright, and warm, the sky was slowly turning a bright orange and red.
I checked my emails on my phone at first, to try give Bella her space. I didn't want to seem like a pervert, while she was lying on her stomach. The back of her bikini undone, lying in the sun.
Stop it Edward, focus on your emails.
It was the first helpful thought my mind had given me in a while so I went back to checking my emails. It was mostly spam and stuff from myspace or facebook. "This person has added you' or 'this person has sent you a group' or 'you have an email/wall comment from such and such'. I read it all, trying not to glance up at Bella. It was hard, but I managed to do it. Once all my spam email had finally been deleted, I got a message from Emmett. He was the last person – okay well maybe not the last – but one of the last people I expected to get an email from.
Edward.
Man, you know you're a great friend, basically I bro. But I swear to god. If you ruin this chance, or hurt her in anyway. I will kill you
I started laughing until he looked further down
I'm serious.
So, Emmett seems to be on my side. I just replied with
Em.
You know I won't. Thanks for your approval
I'm serious
I couldn't help but to add that last part. Hopefully he would see the joke behind it and just laugh it off, rather than thinking im ridiculing him and start beating me. I really hope he doesn't. Just then I decided to look up from my phone and saw that Bella was missing. Charlie was calling out to her and had his phone, so he didn't know where she was either.
I was starting to worry when I saw something that scared me. I saw a brunette break the surface in the water, It was all I could tell because she was face down, floating out to sea.

Okay, so after a while I got sick on sun bathing. It felt so good but my skin started to burn a little, and I'd needed to move. As I got up and took of my shorts, there was a guy at the end of the beach playing with his phone. He looked an awful lot like –No, it's not him. Why would Edward be in LA.? But his hair was the same. I guess I'll be noticing that more often now. I took out my earphones and turned off my mp3, and started walking to the water. I couldn't see Charlie so I guessed he'd see my just playing in the waves. I got to the water about waist deep and crouched down. I loved being in the water, but couldn't go out too far, cause if I did, Charlie wouldn't see me. And I wasn't too strong a swimmer. But I was decent, and I tried, so that counted for something, right? Sure it does The voice in my head said sarcastically, then more seriously. Im sure I'll be safe. Nothing bad has happened so far.
Just as I thought that, a huge wave came and knocked me off my feet. No big deal I thought happens all the time. When I get back to my feet- I didn't get to finish that thought because suddenly my feet weren't near any ground, there was none that I could find. I couldn't see anything either. The water got darker as I – assumedly – got deeper. With the lack of oxygen in my lungs, I was running out of breath, and fast. I can't fight this I thought, so I just went limp and let the sea carry me out until I reached the surface. I could only hold my breath for another ten seconds but that was all I needed, It only took five for me to resurface, but I could get back up. It took all the strength I had left, and it burned my chest, but I dived back into the water, rolled so I was facing up and kicked my way back to the surface. Taking a huge breath and I came back up. The air scratched and burned as it came through my throat but I didn't care, I welcomed the feeling. I looked around and tried to get a rough idea of where I was, but I couldn't see anyone, not even a surfer. All I saw was the man from the beach earlier swimming out to get me.
Thank god someone saw me. My legs couldn't keep kicking for long, and I didn't know how far out I was. As this man looked up, I saw relief wash over his face. I also saw that I was not crazy about it being Edward. It Was Edward. I didn't think 'why's he here?' or 'how did he know where I was?' I didn't think anything. That's why the next few words that came out of my mouth were a surprise to me, and apparently him too. "I love you". Then I passed out, my legs stopped working and I slowly started sinking.

No way did I come this far to loose her, so I dived in after she started sinking. I almost missed it but I grabbed Bella's hand and pulled her up with me. When I broke the surface, I grabbed her arm, then under her arm pits so I could pull her up better. We were a fair way away from the beach, but not so far that I couldn't carry her back on my back. She started stirring when I got out of the water. So I put her on her feet as she opened her eyes and registered what happened. Before she could ask anything - or I could explain – she threw her arms around my neck, her forehead leaning on my shoulder.
"Thank you" She whispered.
"I love you too" I said and as she pulled away there was a look of shock on her face, I think she thought I didn't hear her. It took a minute but she smiled hugely and hugged me again. I put my arms around her waist. Just happy to have you back
Told you so

I'd thought that I had died. Why else would the man I love, be standing here with me, telling me he loved me. It felt so surreal. But then I heard someone calling my name.
"Bella!" Charlie called
"Isabella Swan!" I looked over Edwards shoulder and saw my father running over to me. So I let go of Edward and ran back, teas threatening to cascade over my eyelids.
"Dad" I said in relief and threw my arms around his neck. He wasn't as tall as Edward but it was close.
"I thought I'd lost you" He cried – then I lost it. I started bawling "I didn't see until it was too late, you just came up and that young man, he ran in after you" suddenly Charlie let go of me and looked behind me. He walked past me and I turned to see he was making a beeline towards Edward. When he got there he put out his hand "Thank you so much. You have no idea how happy I am, how much in gratitude I am."
"It was no problem indeed sir. You have no idea how happy I was when she breathed, it was all worth the worrying" Edward said while looking at me. He looked so sincere; it hurt me to think he was just going to leave again soon. Charlie looked at Edward curiously, trying to decipher what he meant. Edward stuck his hand out to Charlie again.
"I'm Edward" Charlies eyes shot up in recognition and he turned to look at me.
So there will be more tomorrow. I have noting else to do and I already have to whole story planned out! = ]
