After 70 Years
(Edward's POV)
"WE'RE MOVING TO FORKS!" Alice shouted as she burst through my bedroom door. Ugh! I hate it when Alice does that. She just had the vision that we're moving back to Forks.
Forks. I've never stepped in one foot there for 70 years. I promised Bella that it would be like we never existed. I tried so hard to keep my promise and I succeeded even though it hurts like hell. I felt dead all these times.
"Did you hear me Edward? I said we're moving to Forks." She said with sparkles on her eyes.
"I heard you, Alice. And I'm not going with you." I commanded. I saw her expression stiffen.
"It's been 70 bloody years, Edward." She glared at me. "I can't understand why you moped around all these years. It was your decision to leave her!" she scolded. I glared at her.
"I moped around because it hurts to leave her, Alice! But it was the right thing to do!" I exclaimed. It was the right thing to do.
I know you'll come with us. I saw it already. Alice thought.
"No, Alice."
"Stop fighting me, Edward. Like I said, it's been 70 years. You know how humans come and go." She said she might be dead already she added on her thoughts.
I growled at her. I know that it's true but I don't want to think about it.
"If you don't want to hear anything on her whereabouts, well I do. You didn't let me say goodbye to her, the least that I can do now is to visit her grave and say sorry. You know you can't stop me. And I know you're still going with us in Forks. We're leaving tonight so pack your things" Then she stormed out of the room.
I sighed in defeat. 70 years ago, a few weeks after we left, Alice started to get blurry visions of Bella. It's like T.V with a bad reception and it really freaked us out. Now, we don't know what happened to Bella because she can't see anything at all. We assumed that she already dead. Maybe she is really dead.
Since then, they kept me under surveillance. They fear that I will go to the Volturi to kill myself. I was planning that, but they kept me from doing it. Emmett and Jasper used all of their strength that they have to restrain me. Even Alice kept a close watch at me. I stopped trying though; it's hard to see Esme feeling scared, it hurts me too.
Again, I sighed. I stood up and started to pack my things. I know there's no way I could fight off Alice. She would just literally drag me out of this place.
After a few hours of packing, the trucks already came in to take the huge stuff. We needed 4 trucks because from Alice's clothes alone, one truck would be already occupied.
We all rode our cars and drove to Forks. Everyone has been pestering me with their question in mind, particularly if I was ready to go back to Forks. Sooner or later, I have to face this kind of situation so I still have no choice.
As we get closer to Forks, my memories with Bella started to come back. It's not that I forgot them; I just chose not to think about them. Bella, what happened to you? I must admit that I really want to know. I feel that you're not dead. I know that you are just there somewhere. Maybe she already has a normal husband and kids maybe even grandchildren. Would I meet anyone related to her there? My questions multiplied as I saw the sign 'Welcome to Forks'.
Bella's POV
I started packing my things because it's time to move out again. We've been staying in an apartment here in Chicago for 3 years now. It's time to get moving. It didn't take us long to be around people. Anthony is really smart for his age so he understood not to kill humans.
As for me, it didn't take long too. I was surprised that I could control my thirst and my emotions easily. I wasn't so bad like what the others say. I got distracted when my son pulled a chair in front of me and then he sat. His green eyes are on me the whole time.
"What?" I asked.
"Mom, are you sure you want to move to Forks? We can just move to Canada or something." Anthony said. In a span of 7 years, he already looks like 18 years old. He looks so much like Edward now except for the green eyes and that his hair is like Charlie's only in bronze color.
His ability is to show people what he is thinking. At first, he needs physical contact before he can show you what he thinks. After a couple of decades, he mastered it already. He can already send his thoughts on a crowd or a single person.
I too have a special power. I can shield anyone's mind and I already mastered that. I can also push the shield away from me too, but I seldom do that, though I mastered it already.
"I'm sure, babe." I answered my son who looks older than me.
"What if that guy is there? Can you handle that?" he told me
"Stop addressing your father as 'that guy' his name is Edward." I scolded him. He knew pretty well what happened between Edward and me. I tried to make him see Edward's reason but he's just stubborn, just like me. Besides, I already accepted it that's why using his name out loud doesn't bother me anymore. After all, it's been years.
"Well are you ready to see him?" he asked me.
"I don't know. I don't even know if he knows that I still existed." I confessed and he just scoffed. It's true, if he knows and if he really wants to see me then I know he can find a way. I admit that I waited but that day didn't come. I know Anthony knows that I expect him to come back and get us. That's why he's even more pissed at Edward.
He got up and wrapped his arms around me. "Don't worry mom, I will never leave you. I love you, mom." Then he kissed my cheek. His temperature is different from me; it is even hotter than the normal body temperature.
He really loves to cling on me, even though he's already 70 years old. Our relationship didn't change at all and I like it.
I kissed his cheeks too. "I love you too, honey." Then I got up. "I'll make your dinner so that you can go to sleep." Then we both went to the kitchen. This is his human part. He can eat human food and can sleep. His skin doesn't sparkle that much under the rays of the sun. His vampire side is the usual. He has hard skin, he drinks blood, and he's super fast and super strong.
I served his dinner and he began to eat.
"When will we leave mom?" he asked.
"Tomorrow, around 4am." I answered
"Mom, can you do me a favor?" he asked
I looked at him with curiosity "It depends, what is it?"
"Well, can we pose as a couple rather than siblings?" he pleaded
My eyes grew wide "What? Why?"
"I'm tired of the entire staring, mom! I hate it when they talk behind my back. Especially when boys are all over you! They are like stupid horny idiots! I don't like the way they talk about you. I don't like the way they fantasize you! I want to rip off their heads!" He explained. I know how he feels because it's really annoying.
"Isn't it kind of awkward?"
"What are you thinking, mom? We're just going to play as couples in front of people." He explained "and I kind of set that already." He confessed
"What do you mean 'kind of set that already'?" I asked
"Well, I forged another birth certificate and I kind of changed my surname already and I kind of sent it already and I made it look like were not related at all." he confessed. I was shocked! I didn't know my son could do this.
"And how would it suppose to work out?" I demanded
"Easy, we'll tell them that we cohabited." He simply said
"What? Anthony, that won't work out. What would the people think? We are going to pose as 17 year-olds there and without parental authority." I said
"Mom, its 2079 already. Many teenagers are already like that." I sighed in defeat.
"Ok, ok, since you already sent them, I have no choice but to agree. But next time, please, warn me before hand." I said the he smiled my favorite crooked smile. Ever since he reached full maturity, I can't help but be dazzled on his smile.
"So, what surname did you come up with?" I managed to ask
He took a big bite off his steak then answered. "Masen." He said lightly. I stared at him with wide eyes. He noticed this. "What?" he asked
"Where did you get that?" I asked in a hush voice
"Somewhere in the internet. I think it's cool and it suites my name just right. Charles Anthony Masen. Doesn't it sound nice?" He said then he chuckled
"Really?" I asked then he simply nodded. I can see that he is not lying. I know when he lies because I'm his mother.
"Did you know that Masen is your father's real surname?"
"What?! No kidding?" he said in shock. I laughed at his expression.
"Come on, honey. Please don't hate Edward." I said
"Please mom, like I would." He said then I just sighed in defeat.
He got up and washed the dishes. He always helps me with the household chores without even the need to tell him. I am lucky to have a son like him.
After that, we went out to hunt. We always do this whenever we're about to leave a certain place. It's like a farewell feast. After that, we went home and Anthony fell asleep. Tomorrow's going to be a big day. Good luck to me.
A/N: Please review guys but no flames please :D Thank you very much :D
