Chapter 7
I opened my eyes to find a blurry face hovering over me, trying to make sure I was okay. I instantly sat up as he jumped back in surprise. "Edward," I whispered, the name feeling strange on my tongue seeing as how I hadn't spoken it in months. "What are you doing here?"
His eyes searched mine, so many emotions boiling up there and I realized he didn't know what to say. And I realized suddenly that even if he did, what would I say? After everything that had happened, what was there to say?
"Bella," he whispered and instantly I melted.
It had been so long since I'd heard that voice say my name like that. And suddenly nothing mattered, all I cared about was that he was here again, back with me. My face softened and I reached out to touch his skin. He leaned in, almost desperately and sighed against the palm of my hand.
"Oh Bella I've missed you. Forgive me for everything, everything I've done. I'm an idiot. I thought if I pushed you away from me, if I wasn't in your life anymore than you would be safe and-"
"Shhh," I said, hushing him. I smiled, happy to simply have him near me again. "It doesn't matter, nothing matters. I'm just glad you're here with me. I love you."
Edward smiled, causing me to nearly stop breathing from all that dazzling beauty, and whispered "I love you too Bella."
Then he leaned his head against my chest and I stroked his hair as he listened to my beating heart. I smiled and felt the tears start to slowly slip down my cheeks. Finally, I was complete again.
