A twilight fanfic
Edward's POV
Thank god, is all I can say now. Alice and I are just leaving Bella's house. So she doesn't hate me. She says she loves me. Bella, the beautiful perfect girl I love, is alive and she still loves me back. As said, all I can say is thank god. Alice's thoughts interrupt my own.
What's up with that Jacob guy? She loves her, too? I didn't see that coming.
''Well, Bella's a lovely girl. It seems everyone is found of her. She was bound to find someone to help her with the grief I put her trough. '' I admit, to myself more than to Alice.
Well yeah, but he loves her. And she loves her back. I thought you two shared an undying love.
I hear in the edge of her thoughts that these are not words she would share out loud. We pull of the driveway and I head the car home. Trough the drive we do not speak anymore. I let her think as privately as I can, trying to listen to the words of songs coming from the radio.
As we pull to our own driveway, Esme comes out to greet us. ''How was it? What did Charlie say? Are you going to her funeral?'' she looks devastated. I hear in her thoughts only sadness and grief. '' She's alive, Esme! She was rescued just before she was to jump; she was pulled away from the cliff! Everything's okay!'' Alice sings. '' OH! Thank goodness! That's wonderful!'' I smile at her once I hear nothing but sincerity in her thoughts. '' Edwards taking her out on a date tomorrow!'' Alice announces before I can stop her.
''This is so great! You must bring her here! I want to see that she's okay myself! Oh thank goodness'' Esme says eagerly. ''Yes, I will, later. But things are a bi more complicated now. She.. She is in love with a-a werewolf, too'' I say with a shrug. What?! A werewolf? I thought those were instinct, she thinks.
''I'll explain, get everyone to the dining room. Now, Esme'' I say in a firm voice.
In a second all of us are gathered in the dining room.
'' I hear your questions on your minds. I'll start with the wolves. Apparently the wolves have woken up a new generation due to the amount of vampires near their lands. Jacob, a friend of Bellas told me all of this while Bella was, um, passed out'' I explain. Emmet chuckles and thinks Oh darn I missed that. What did you guys do? Attack her? That poor thing! I snarl but comedown fast due to Jasper. '' As I was saying, there are werewolves now, so we have to be more careful no to step foot on the Quileute lands. And, there have been other vampires here. Victoria and Laurent both have tried to kill Bella.'' I take a deep breath and continue, ignoring the mental mess in the room. '' Yes, Laurent first. Then Victoria yesterday. The wolves killed both of them. Apparently our departure didn't do much for Bella. That is why I have decided to stay, and fight for her love for she has fallen for this Jacob.'' I shrug.
Rosalie's thoughts are pleased with that fact. I try not to show my anger towards her show. ''Then we will all stay, darling'' Esme says and hugs me. She's so loving and motherly.
''Thank you, Esme. Now I'll go hunt nearby'' I say and escape the room and all the questions in it. I have to hunt to prepare myself for tomorrow. I have six hours left, then I can go pick her up. I didn't remember the scent of her blood. So intoxicating, I have to be prepared to be with her the whole day tomorrow.
As I return from my hunt, I have only hour to go. I change clothes and play my piano the rest of the time. I want to avoid everyone, tired of their judgements.
Finally, the time has come. I take the Volvo and drive it to Bella's driveway. I knock on her door when the clock is nine sharp, as I said I would.
First I take in her scent, mesmerized. Then I open my eyes to look at her. She's looking back, looking almost dazed. She has jeans and a white top on. God, she's beautiful. I smile crookedly to her expression. '' Hi there'' I say to her. She smiles and says ''Hello.'' That familiar voice I have missed. Everything about her I have missed. ''I'm ready to go. Where are we going again?'' she asks. '' I'll tell you on the way, love'' I smile.
I open the car door for her and help her in. Then I go to the drivers seat. When I sit in the car I found her staring at me. ''What?'' I ask, scared.
''I just can't believe you're really here, Edward'' she whispers.
