Hey guys, i am so sorry that i haven't updated for ages. I went away and then came back and was so busy i didn't have any time to write. For those who are interested time away was amazing, i went with old friends and it was nice to get to know them better again.
I know this chapter is really short, i also know this is the second chapter that is really short and want to let you know that i am not going to make all of the chapters shorter. I am after this one going to make them much much longer, but i wanted to get this out straight away.
Thanks again for your reviews, i received them whilst i was away and it was so nice to get all of your encouraging words. Please enjoy this chapter, it is in EPOV again.
Please review, review, review! Thanks I love you all

I walk out of the clothing store I had just been in with Alice and Carlisle. Since I was moving back to Arizona to attempt to have Bella back into my life again, Alice had decided that I needed a new wardrobe. My outlook on life had brightened with the prospect of seeing Bella again and I had more tolerance for the human mind. There is nothing interesting today, most people shopping aimlessly but something familiar is filling my mind. It was a heartbeat that sounded so much like Bella's that I looked up. The sound was the same, but it does not have the same thud as it used to, not the same enthusiasm. It was almost as if something was missing. As I looked up I saw she is staring at me for a fraction of a second before her whole frame sways. Her body loses its strength and she sways again, falling into the ground. After a second of staring at her beauty I snapped into action, I rush over to her, I race as fast as I can and she falls into my arms. I look into her eyes that are now open and I see the deep brown that is swimming in there. I have missed that colour more than anything else in the world. I can hear her heart, suddenly it sounds normal again, like it used to. That off sound was gone when she was lying in my arms. It is as if this is where she is supposed to be, I like that, no I love that.
"Edward?" She gaspes, although it sounds more like a question. I can feel a smile stretching over my face, one that hadn't been there for such a long time.
"Edward, why are you where?" She asks now. The happiness I just saw in her eyes, now looks like hurt. She must remember now, the pain I caused her. She must be so confused as to why I was here.
"I think we should go somewhere to talk Bella. Is it alright if we go somewhere?" I am asking in the nicest way, I want her to know that I am not here to hurt her or cause her anymore pain.
There is a throat clearing sound and I look up to meet the eyes of two very confused looking teenaged girls. Their thoughts suddenly fill my head,
What is he doing to her? Who is he? Bella seems to know him, maybe they used to be friends or something. He sure is something to look at, wow I wonder if he has a girlfriend. But I bet someone like him would not go out with someone like me.
Is Bella alright? She looks upset, is it this Edward? Maybe we should try to get her away from him, make up some excuse about why she has to come with us.
I like the second girl more, as I read more and more into her thoughts I find out that her name is Jenna. She is more interested with Bella's wellbeing rather than my looks.
"I am sorry I am being rude," I say as I straighten Bella up and acknowledge the girls, "My name is Edward Cullen, I used to know Bella. I haven't seen her for a while though, would you mind if we got re-acquainted?" I am asking whilst using my most persuasive tone and staring right into their eyes.
"Well she clearly remembers you. I am sorry but Bella has to meet her… mother soon. I don't think she can meet you." Jenna speaks up looking away from my eyes.
"No guys its alright. I have my phone I will give my mother a call. I want to speak to Edward." Bella says, I breathe out a sigh of relief. I was so worried that she would not want to speak with me.
"Okay well take your shopping." The other girl, Tammy, says picking the bags Bella dropped when she fell off of the floor and handing them to Bella. "And we both have our mobiles so you can give us a call, later."
"Thanks you. I will make sure she gets home safely." I say.
He better! Tammy thinks rather aggressively, before going back to thinking about my looks. I block her out.
"Bye Tam, thanks Jenna." Bella says hugging each of the girls before they turn and way away. I notice then that Carlisle and Alice walk away, giving each a goodbye in their thoughts. I take Bella's hand and walk with her to the outside of the shopping center, sitting us both down on a park bench on the outskirts of the parking lot.
"I guess I should explain everything to you." I say, she nods. "I love you Bella, I never should have left."
