DESTINY

Chapter 4: Painful Reunion – Part 1

I actually forgot about Viktor's warning. That is before I got in school. We were hanging out in the parking lot waiting for school to start. A couple of guys whistled at me and Kyra. Something that pissed our boyfriends off.

"Let me see him whistle when I shove my foot down his throat." Rainer growled.

Kyra smiled, "Are you jealous?" She put her hands on his face and passionately kissed him.

"Eew guys", I said rolling my eyes.

"Yeah, get a room," Kale said with disgust. "Geez, what are you guys, rabbits?"

I chuckled at that. Kale was never one for kissing in public. He thinks it's "improper." Hmm…I got an idea. Grinning, I said in my most innocent voice," Kale?"

"Yes?" he looked at me.

Suddenly, I pushed him against the car hard, surprising him.

"W-what are you doing, Bella?" he stuttered. If he could, I bet he would've blushed.

I pressed myself against him and was about to kiss him when I suddenly sensed HIS presence. It couldn't be… Terrified, I looked around and there He was, looking as perfect as ever. Our eyes connected and all the pain came rushing back. I didn't even notice the other Cullens gaping at me or the worried expressions on my friends' faces. Panicked, I grabbed Kale's hand and dashed into the school with Kyra and Rainer following us.

"What's wrong Bells?" Kyra asked worried. I rushed to an empty classroom and fell against the wall trying to catch my breath.

Kyra and Rainer crouched at either side of me looking concerned. I knew I was probably freaking them out right now. But could you blame me? I mean, it's not everyday you see your lost love after 13 years. Just seeing him again opened up all the pain and wounds I had tried to bury these past 13 years. I felt like it was only yesterday that I read the heart- wrenching letter. I put my head in my hands groaning in frustration. Why did Edward have to be at this school! Why here, why now!

I raised my head to find Kale in front of me with a thoughtful expression on his beautiful face. He said in a serious and calm voice, "It's him, isn't it? Edward Cullen? The one who left you?"

I looked at him carefully checking to see if he was angry. Kale was always good at disguising his feelings but not from me. I knew him too well. I was surprised that he didn't seem angry. Quietly I replied, "He's back."

Kale held out his hand and helped me up. Hr smiled but it was a smile filled with understanding and love. He embraced me tightly and whispered in my ear, "I love you."

Then he took my face in his hands. "I'll always be here for you, Bella," he said and kissed me deeply.

Kyra came up to me and hugged me also, "we're here for you, Bells."

"Yeah, we'll beat up anybody who tries to hurt you," Rainer joked.

I looked at them lovingly. I loved my family and mynew life. I'll be damned if I let Edward Cullen ruin it. He walked out on me and the only way I'll let him back in my life is if he crawled back…that is if I even decide tolet him back at all.

You know the deal. REVIEW please :)
