It was about eleven when I got to Phoenix. I remembered the last time that I was here. I was saying good-bye to Rene, lying to her about how I wanted to go to Forks. Now here I was, willing to do anything to go back.
Rene and Phil met me in luggage claim. Can you say awkward? Can you say it twice?
I must have looked terrible. I stood there in my school clothes, my face and eyes red from crying, and clinging to my back pack that contained the box Edward had given me. After getting on the plane I chose not to open it of there and have a melt down on the plane.
No one said a word. I sat in the back seat of their mini-van and sulked. The radio was on one of those boring talk-radio stations. They were talking about vampires, of course. Who wasn't? Rene hit the radio when she came back to my sad reality, and punch the radio dial, with a bit too much force than necessary to turn it off. And then we road in silence.
When we got to the house I just grabbed my things and ran up the stairs and into my room without saying a word to either Phil or Rene. I through my things down and set my back pack on the bed. With fresh tears rolling down my cheeks I took out the box that Edward had given me. I tore it open without any though of using scissors, then poured the content of the package onto my bed.
The first thing that caught my attention was an envelope. I snatched it up and held it to my body like it was my most prized possession, and it was. I tore the top of the envelope and carefully sled the crisp piece of paper out and unfolded it.
My Dearest Bella,
I am sorry for what has happened. I wish there was a way to turn this around. Alice has only seen visions of you leaving, so I am not sure what the future may hold for us. I will find a way to get back to you, one way or another. That is, if you want me back. I would understand if you were disgusted by me now. It's because of me that you were taken away from your home and your Father. I am the reason you are in so much pain. I never wanted to do this to you, Bella.
If there was anyway that I could change things back into the way that they had been, I would. That is impossible though. Even though that wish will never become a reality, I will try my hardest to get back to you. Because I need you, Bella. Even the thought of being away from you for any length of time kills me inside.
Until we find a way to get you back. We will stay in touch. If you want to that is.
All my love,
Edward
I held the letter to my chest once again. How could he think that I would be disgusted by him? I could never be, no matter what he did.
I looked over the two other items that rested on my yellow bedspread. A cell-phone, with a touch screen and everything. I should have none. I picked it up and turned it on. The first thing that I saw was a picture of Edward, I smiled and more tears rolled down my face. I turned my attention back to the other item on the bed. It was a velvet box, a velvet bow that I was terrified to open. I finally worked up the guts to open it and gasped at the sight before me. The most beautiful locket was tucked into the pillow.
It was rather large. I had a white profile of a girl with a flower in her wild hair. The background surrounding the girl was dark blue, the same shade that Edward had complimented me on wearing. The border was gold and matched the chain. Even though the necklace looked ridiculously expensive I would never complain to Edward about it or tell him to take it back, call me horrible, call me selfish, but I would never give up this locket. (Locket on profile)
I grabbed the phone and dialed Edwards number.
"Bella," He said my name like a sigh of relief.
"Thank you." That was all I could say.
"You're welcome love." His voice was soft and loving, I could hear the smile in his voice. "I would never give it to anyone else... It was from my human days you know." He said matter-of- factly. Lately we had gotten really comfortable talking about those times.
"Really? Why did you keep it?"
"Yes, I first saw it when I was thirteen. It was in the window of one of the shops in town. I gave the man all of the money I had with me,but it wasn't enough. I worked for an entire year to get that locket. It was the first thing that I really worked for. I wanted it more than anything in the world. I had thought that the girl was just so beautiful. She had pale, smooth skin, gorgeous long hair, and she seemed so mysterious and intriguing. She was ideal. When I had finally obtained her I looked at her every night, thinking that maybe someday I would be so lucky as to have a wife or daughter as beautiful as her. And when I found that person, I would give it to her. It way sound corny, but that was how I felt. I think that it is in good hands now."
"You are perfect. Did you know that?" I cried again, but these tears were happy and also brought a smile to my lips that I had though would be permanently set in a frown for the rest of my life.
I fell asleep that night with my locket in my hand and Edwards voice lulling my to sleep through the phone, thinking how was I ever going to do this.
kay so I hope the locket thing wasn't too cheesy. But lets admit it, it wouldn't have been as good with out the cheese.
PLEASE REVIEW!
