Author's Note: Hello Everyone! Sorry, for the small delay if you can even call it so. Because I do not think that, I take a long time updating. I am glad and quite surprised that you guys like the story and the chapter. This chapter was a bit hard for me to write, so no flames. Thanks again for your reviews and let us go on with the chapter! Since you rather have the idea of what is going to happen in this story (although there are some surprises for you!), so I was wondering if you would like a sequel to it. Let me know so that I can start planning.
Disclaimer: Guess what? I own Twilight/New Moon. Not. If I would, would I really write this fanfic. I do not think so.
Chapter #6-A river of dried tears
(Bella's POV)
Though my flight was during the night, I did not sleep as the rest of the plane did. I drank a lot of Coke so that the caffeine would help me stay up. I clearly knew that if I would let myself sleep, the nightmares would attack me once more and I would scream; that was not something the plane would want to hear. As we arrived to Astoria, Oregon, the plane landed and I was the first one to exist since everyone else was still sleepy. On the way out from registration, I went to the bathroom to wash my face, which had a river of dried tears on it.
As I left the airport, outside it was pouring rain. It was not as if I did not know that Astoria was one of the rainiest places on earth, so I took my brown umbrella out and got into a taxi.
"Good morning Ma'am! Where to?" the taxi driver asked politely. I quickly reached for my bag and took out the address of my new apartment that Charlie got for me.
"1000 Lexington Avenue, please." I replied and took out the note that Alice left for me. Do know that he loves you with all his heart. Was she telling me the truth? I wondered where he was now and how far away from me, he was. Then it hit me. Astoria was one of the rainiest places on earth, what if the Cullens lived here.
"Stop it, Bella!" I said to myself; turns out, aloud.
"Pardon ma'am?" The driver asked, looking at me with a puzzled expression. Suddenly, the taxi driver smirked at me. What was that supposed to mean?
I then realized we were slowly arriving on the Lexington Avenue, my new home. It seemed ironic how I already missed Forks. I paid for the taxi and entered the building. The building was not big, just seven floors. The foyer was filled with many flowers and the walls were painted in a slightly peach tone. My apartment was located on the seventh floor so I took the elevator and entered my house and from the first sight, I could already tell that I loved it. There was a small living room with a TV and two loveseats (I squealed at the name) jointed to the kitchen. The bedroom was what caught my attention the most. The walls were painted in chocolate tone, which reminded me of my eyes. There was a queen size bed and a small desk in the corner that had a laptop on it. The carpet had a pink tone and was very calming. Finally, I reached the bathroom that almost made me cry at the memory. The tiles on the ceiling had a painting of the night sky on them and in the corner of the wall, one word was written in a very elegant script 'Twilight'. Edward's favorite time of the day, the beginning of a new day for vampires. There was a wall size mirror and I did not like the size of it, since whenever I looked at myself I hated the girl staring back at me.
Soon I realized that it was already 7:00pm so I began to unpack my things, preparing for tomorrow. Tomorrow was my first day of college, and I was getting very nervous though not as much anymore. Tomorrow I will be starting a new life, a life without him…that is simply hell.
(Edward's POV)
Because my Volvo was sill in Alaska, I decided not to take the taxi but rent a car so I could ride faster myself. The tension was building up in my chest, as I was getting closer to Forks. Forks, I missed this place so much a place that meant home to me. As I was passing a mall, I stopped the car and made my way out. I was running at a vampire speed through the mall, looking for a flower store. 'She will throw these flowers in your face.' The voice at the back of my head whispered.
"May I help you to chose anything specific?" a young woman was standing behind the counter smiling at me unnecessarily. She was attractive, but nothing compared to my angel. Bella.
"No, thanks I will choose it myself." I answered, my voice slightly annoyed.
"Well if you have any trouble recognizing the flowers, I can help!" she replied with much enthusiasm. I quietly laughed to myself. She, a human will help me, a vampire to recognize the smell of the flowers. Ha. I finally found a freesia bouquet and bought it. The smell was intoxicating, but not even freesia smelled the way my love's blood did. Her blood always sang to me, but due to my dying love, I manage to resist it. In five minutes I would be at Forks, my dead heart was shaking. I turned the Claire de Lune song as it calmed.
I was now on the same street Charlie's house was on. It was now late at night, so I decided to climb her window not to wake Charlie up. I grabbed the bouquet and started climbing. As I opened it, shock struck my body. Isabella Marie Swan was no in the room, I quickly ran to the bathroom to see if she was there but she was not. Her scent was hitting me hard and than I realized that her clothes was missing. What happened to her, I was furious with myself! I heard my cell phone vibrate in my pocket, I answered it.
"Oh, Edward I know what happened. Bella is not there." I heard Alice sobbing into the phone.
"Fuck, Alice where is she?" I turned my voice down as I realized that Charlie was sill here.
"Edward, I saw a vision." I could hear Alice was furious with herself.
"Alice listen to me, what did you see? Tell me now!" I was now shouting, in a vampire tone.
"She moved to a college Edward. I saw her departure on a plane at the same time you landed in Port Angeles."
"I missed her Alice! Dammit! Which college?" I asked her quickly, realizing that I could catch up.
"That is the problem, I don't know. I did not see it in my vision!" Alice was sobbing hard as I shut the phone and threw the bouquet out the window.
I missed her; we were meters away! I climbed on her bed and started sobbing in agony. I could feel that she was here today because her scent was as fresh as if she was present. Than a thought came to me. I could just ask Charlie to tell me where she was and I would find her. Did she decide to move on? No, Alice saw her in her visions and Bella was crying hard over me. I decided to wait until the morning to talk to Charlie. It could have been hours as I was lying there in here room. Suddenly, it was unbearable so I left and ran to my own house; only to find her footsteps on our dirty staircase. She was here; I could still catch a faint smell of her. As I entered my room, I felt the scent stronger. Bella was in my room just recently. I truly hated myself for causing so much pain for both of us.
I opened the window of my room only to find snow falling on my hands. I decided that I would go to our meadow and stay there until the morning. As I headed downstairs and opened the front door, I was surprised to find a person standing in the doorway.
Jacob Black.
He had a dark look on his face and his eyes were shooting me evil glares.
Author's Note: Okay, this chapter was very hard for me to write and so I do not know if you liked it or not. Sorry it is short, but it is late at night so I rather want to get my sleep though it is spring break. I will update tomorrow and the chapter will be very long so don't worry. Now, please review and tell me what you think (not begging but your reviews make me happier!) Have a nice day or rather a good night.
Hugs,
