Chapter 7 EPOV

I ran faster than I ever have before. Nothing could have stopped me as I ran through forest and over mountains.

I entered Washington a little before noon. Eastern Washington had always been dull to me, just a bunch of farms. I prefer Western Washington, where it is green, and brown.

Brown, like her soft wavy hair…

Focus Edward, run faster.

And I did, up and over the Cascades by one in the afternoon.

I stopped in a small town about an hour from Mount Rainier. The town split into two smaller sections, South Hill, and Puyallup. I stayed long enough to buy a car, a fast one, at one of the dealerships in the valley.

I made it to Seattle, which is normally an hour drive, in twenty five minutes. I-5 was luckily not congested at this time of day.

I drove to the heart of Seattle, where I would most likely run across her scent. I parked in the streets, which are horrible to park in by the way, and got out. The side walk was slightly crowded with men and women in business suits, most talking on a cell phone.

I tilted my head up, smelling the air, my throat burned in protest to all the humans around, but that was the last thing on my mind. I was focused on Bella's scent, and following a trail.

I was on the corner of Broad Street and Thomas Street, and I could look up and see the Space Needle. I took off down Thomas Street, continuing till I reached Dexter Avenue, catching a slight hint of her smell.

Dexter Ave was less crowded in the road, but the side walks were bursting with people. Dexter, a little bit after Denny Way, merged into 7th Avenue, where the smell grew stronger. 7th crossed Westlake Avenue, and the smell was overwhelming by now. I followed it down to Virginia Street, and on the corner of Virginia Street and 6th Avenue, I found it.

The huge building stood taller than the other buildings on the near by streets. Over the front door, a sign said 'Bite Me Books'.

That had to be her…

The place was drenched in Bella's wonderful perfume. I looked at the floor directory, and found her name, and the floor.

I decided to take the elevator, heading over to where one was open. I got in just in time, and pressed the button for the floor.

The woman in there with me tried to be subtle about scooting away from me. Her thoughts entered my head.

Damn he is smoking hot… is he looking at me? No of course not, why would he ever look at me. I'm just the girl with her nose in a book…

She sighed out loud, and I glanced over at her. She was carrying a stack of papers, and was wearing a dark green skirt, and a white shirt. She had green-gold eyes, and bright red hair.

When she got off, she looked once more back at me, then hurried off after seeing that I wasn't looking at her, but pushing the button to make the door close faster.

Told ya so…

I drowned her out with thoughts of meeting Bella for the first time.

Well the first time knowing she was Bella.

How would she react? Happy, sad, mad?

I would understand any of those emotions, especially the mad. She had ever right in the world to be mad and want to beat the shit out of me. I kind of hope she won't, but if she did, I would understand.

The elevator doors opened up to a hall way with two doors along one wall. I walked down the hall, reading the names as I went.

At the end, there was a desk with a girl behind it. Her little black plaque said in white letters Breanna Cumquat.

Well well well, what do we have here, Mr. Yummy. I wonder if the supply closets cleared out enough to…

I blocked that out the best I could, starting the conversation. "Hello Miss… is Ms. Bella Swan here?"

"Um… no… actually, you just missed her, she just left. She looked like she was in a hurry too. She's normally the last one to leave. Weird."

Her eyes looked strange too… like she wanted to cry, but couldn't… and they were black… I could have sworn they were always topazie.

That's all the information I needed. "Thank you, Breanna." I turned swiftly on my heel and went back to the elevator.

It was taking so long, so I took the stairs, flying down the empty corridor faster than any elevator will ever go.

I went to the street, following the freshest scent. It led me down to Elliot bay, a little bit Northwest of her office.

There was a deserted park called Myrtle Edwards Park. The sun was setting, the clouds a beautiful color of pink, red, and orange over the bay. The sun made my skin sparkle, but no one was anywhere close to this part of the park. Not even any boats were on the water.

But none of that beauty could ever compare to what I saw sitting on a bench facing the bay. She was more beautiful than I remember.

Bella's hair was wind blown, but still almost every hair was in place. The sun made little glittering facets on her face. Her eyes were black, and looked sad and depressed. Her face was scrunched up a bit by the brows and mouth.

She didn't seem to notice my approach, too wrapped up in her thoughts. I stood there, basking in her beauty, until she sighed and turned her head quickly.

She sprang to her feet, crouched down as to attack. She looked at me for a second, then straightened up, gazing at me intently, her eyes looked almost as if they darkened.

I was afraid that she would be mad, but her face I couldn't decipher, and since she had a shield against my gift, I couldn't know what she was thinking.

She suddenly sunk down to the ground, sobbing tearlessly. I was by her side in an instant, drawing her small body into my arms.

"I'm… sorry, Edward, I should have told you sooner. It wasn't fair to you, and I know I must have caused you much pain. I should have never—"

"Whoa wait a minute. You did nothing, it was entirely my fault. I over reacted a bit. I just… I feel so lonely with out your emails. And then they just… stopped for a few days, and I came to conclusions. That was wrong of me, and I should have let you explain. So don't you dare say that it is your fault."

She stared at me for a moment, gazing deeply into my eyes. She leaned her head into my chest, breathing deeply.

"Even better than I remember." She murmured.

"I could say the same for you. Bella?" She looked up at me, and I looked right into her eyes as I said in a whisper, "I love you."

Her eyes looked instantly happier. "I love you too."

Still holding her in my arms, I pulled her closer to me, kissing her until we were breathless, though we don't need to breathe.

We stayed like that until the sunlight was gone from the sky, and nothing but the few clouds and the bright stars remained. We didn't talk, we didn't need to. We already knew everything we needed to know, and we have forever to learn every other insignificant detail.

She felt so right in my arms, and I never wanted to let her go, but we had to leave the park. She walked me to her apartment, seeming like she didn't know what to do.

We sat on the couch, the silence not awkward, but still uneasy. Bella took a deep breath, then she told me the whole story, everything that had happened since September 13th, to today, when she had finally given up trying to talk to me.

I told her my side of everything too, and apologizing all the time about my stubbornness and blindness. I couldn't see my life without her, and I don't want to try.

It was five in the morning when we heard a knock on the door.

"Bella Swan, you better open this door right now before I have Emmett break it down!" A woman's voice threatened.

Bella got up and opened the door, revealing the blonde woman and big man, both vampires.

"Rosalie, Emmett, this is Edward." I waved at them, remembering them from the fundraiser. Emmett held his hand out for me to shake it, which I did.

"Well I see that Alice was wrong about reinforcements, Bella seems to have this under control." Emmett said winking.

"Emmett, out." Bella growled at him.

"Bella calm down, jeez, take a joke." Emmett said hands up in the air.

"Well we better get going, come on Emmett." Rosalie said. When Emmett jutted out his lip and pouted, she grabbed his ear and dragged him out into the hallway. "See you later Bella!" She said as she retreated down the hallway, Emmett in tow.

Bella shut the door and leaned against it, her eyes shut. I walked up to her, wrapping my arms around her.

"I love you." I whispered.

"Me too. Forever" She whispered back.

I smiled, "I like the sound of that. Forever." I said before I leaned down and kissed her.
