Destiny is Ours and It's So Heavenly
"Edward!!!" Bella yelled as he gripped at his chest and fell backwards onto the bed.
He was barely breathing.
Tears streamed down Bella's face, making her vision blurry.
She reached out with shaking hands and listened for his heart beat.
Thunk....thunk.... ..... th-unk....
"So weak..." Bella whispered with pain lacing her voice.
She didn't understand. What had happened? Everything was going perfectly! Why was Edward suddenly in such pain?
Bella gasped and covered her mouth in shock.
"I--I said it. I hurt him." Bella finally realized her wrong.
She had told him she loved him.
And meant it.
With all her heart.
"It's forbidden." She sobbed, her body shaking with emotion.
No. She had to fix this. She couldn't let Edward be in such pain because some stupid god or angel up there was jealous of her happiness with a---a human.
She had to leave him.
Bella reached out to trace Edward's face one last time.
"I'll miss you. So much. I love you Edward Cullen."
"AARRRRRRGH!!!!" Edward groaned and clutched at his chest in agony and pure pain.
Bella's breath caught in her throat and she quickly moved away from him. She couldn't take this. She had to go.
Bella took a deep breath and hopped off the bed, rushing to the door. She tripped on the rug in her haste and fell hard on the wooden floor.
"Be--lla. D-don't...." Edward whispered weakly, his eyes halfway open.
Bella cried in earnest now, pulling herself up and rushing to the door again, making it this time.
"I'm sorry Edward!" She cried out as she shut the door behind her with a final SNAP!
Immediately Edward sat up and shot out of bed, only a light sheen of sweat marking his forehead was evidence that he had been in severe pain moments before.
He ran to his door and yanked it open, stepping out into the hallway. He searched left and right but could not see a trace of his beloved. He could barely detect that she had been here at all.
'Was it a dream?' Edward hesitantly thought before shaking his head. No, it was real. Of that, he was certain. He had been with Bella, confessed his love for her, and suddenly felt unbelievable pain when she told him that she loved him as well. He had no idea he could feel such joy and happiness one minute, and pain and hopelessness the next. He couldn't explain it, not at all. And Bella had left him so suddenly in his painful haze....and he immediately felt healed of all sickness in his chest....
"What have you done to me Bella?" Edward whispered as he stepped back into his apartment.

"Ahhh...no no no...pl--please! EDWARD!" I shrieked and screamed as I clutched my stomach. I was back in heaven, resting on Demetri, my cloud guide and best friend. Always there for me, Demetri was sometimes better than others in comforting.
Demetri was crying tears along with me. The beautiful cloud just wouldn't stop raining. Pretty soon, it'd thunderstorm. Other clouds are very sensitive to each other. When one is feeling down in the dumps, it ultimately affects the others. Which is why it is sort of rare for an angel to have their own fluffy cloud. Their very troublesome if you're emotional and some angels think of the clouds as....annoying and always in the way.
But not Bella. Demetri was her friend. Always has been. She could be called Angel of the Sky for all the love she gave.
Uh oh.
Demetri started to rain down upon the earth.
Bella felt embarrassed now on top of her sadness and grief. Now the world would experience her hurt and pain.
"I'm sorry." Bella apologized once again to the glowing blue and green planet.
"Isabella...my poor darling, are you alright? I--I tried to warn you."
Bella's jaw tightened against the vile words she wanted to spew out.
"Yes. You did." Bella answered, tears still marking her voice. She snuggled in closer to her cloud.
The angel Geneva's forehead crinkled with displeasure. "That cloud...raining on everyone else...."
Bella quickly stood and defended Demetri. "It's fine. This cloud seems to be the only one who understands my feelings."
Geneva's wings fluttered with irritation and slight anger. Her halo dimmed slightly in its magnificent glow. An angel was not suppose to have mean feelings towards anyone else. An angel was suppose to be loving, caring, and crying was a normal thing for an angel to do. Especially when it was over the sad fate of a human or another angel.
Geneva defied these common things in heaven.
What a horrid angel, Bella sometimes thought like she was thinking now.
And from what she'd heard, Geneva hadn't given Akasha an easy time either.
Geneva smiled demurely at Bella as if she had heard her very thoughts.
"What?! You're not allowed to trespass into other people's private thoughts! It's forbidden!" Bella exclaimed, indignant.
The angel shrugged carelessly.
"But you were right. I did not go easy on the poor girl. I predicted her fate if she kept up with her stupidity. Although, I never thought that the punishment would be so...harsh as the one she was dealt out." Geneva mused.
Bella shook her head, her tears threatening to pour out again and drown her voice, surely.
"I--I can't deal with you right now. Go away before--before I do something I regret." Bella ordered, voice shaking a little.
Geneva smirked, or as much as a heavenly being can, before she turned away from the distressed angel.
"Fine. I can tell you've had quite a day. Hope you come to your senses soon. Of course, if you don't, you can always say hello to Akasha for me."
Bella had to grip Demetri's poor defenseless fluff to hold herself back.
"Go away." Malice clearly in her voice.
Geneva closed her eyes and shimmered away, leaving a white orb of energy behind briefly before it evaporated in the air.
"Stupid, hateful, evil...." Bella muttered under her breath.
Demetri nudged at her hands.
"Oh! Sorry!" Bella released the cloud immediately and drew back.
Demetri bounced her up and down lightly as if to say it was alright.
A smile was brought back to her face.

"Jasper, I need to talk to Alice right away."
"Heh. I'm afraid she's--resting right now. The nurse, I mean Alice, really had it rough, I mean--Alice had a rough day." Jasper barely could get out the words over his constant snickering and laughter.
I rolled my eyes. OK, I did not need to hear that. It was my SISTER for God's sake. Gross.
"Whatever Jasper, just wake her up now. I have a problem." I stressed, hoping that he'd get it. Jasper Whitlock was pretty good at picking up the tenor of someones emotions. He had a knack for stuff like that.
And oh, he got it. He just decided that he could take a whack at it and solve my problems.
"No Jasper, I need Alice now!" I almost yelled at him.
Jasper growled into the phone. "She's tired man! What's your deal, Edward? You sound so hostile."
"I will be if I don't get some answers. It's Bella. I--I don't know what happened. One minute I'm happy and full of love for her and the next I feel like someone shoved a stake through my heart. The worst part is, when Bella fled, I instantly felt better like nothing had happened to me." I spewed out, confused and sad.
Bella had seemed like she knew what was wrong with me. She thought she was the problem. But Bella'd never hurt me, I knew.
Was it something I ate? It had to be. Bella had nothing to do with the immediate pain that I'd felt.
Nothing at all.
Jasper hesitated.
"Alright, I'll wake Alice up for you."
--
Alice had taken a while to wake up. She was a heavy sleeper.
And also very playful from what Edward had heard on the phone.
"Heh heh, here baby. Edward's on the phone. Needs to talk."
"OK Jazzy, *giggle*."
"Make it quick, love."
"JAZZ!!!! *shriek* Ohhhh......"
"OH GROSS! GET A ROOM ALICE!" I yelled into the phone, cringing at the noises they were making.
"Oops! I forgot. My virgin brother is still on the phone." Alice laughed, her voice clearer now.
I rubbed my face, feeling a major headache coming on.
"What was it you wanted Edward?" Alice giggled into the phone.
Ech. She was glowing now.
"Alice, can you be serious for one second?! There's something wrong with--with me or Bella, I don't know."
Alice was immediately concerned. "What's wrong? Is she hurt? Are you?"
I shook my head. "No. It's just....I had excruciating pain in my chest and when she left, it was gone. Like, it literally stopped when she left me. And--"
"Yeah?"
"--and it looked like she thought it was her fault." I whispered.
"Edward, give me the facts. When did this pain begin?"
"After we told each other 'I love you'."
"Awwwwww." Alice started gushing.
Ech, again.
"Alice! Some thing's really wrong here."
"Alright fine! I'll go track down Bella. You just sit tight and make sure you're OK. I can't have my brother hurt now, can I?"
I rolled my eyes. I knew that Alice would know what my reaction was.
"Yes, fine. I'll rest. You go find Bella for me, alright? I need to--oh hell, I need her!" I admitted finally.
"That's so ROMANTIC!!!"
"Bye Alice."
"JAZZY!!!!! *shriek*."
I slammed the phone back into its receiver.
--
I was strolling through heaven, listening to a few heavenly choirs sing, when my intuition nagged at me.
Frowning, I looked down at earth and zeroed in on the place that had started to become my home.
Alice was calling me, searching high and low for me.
It was then that I realized that I had never given either of them an address or a place to reach me from. I couldn't very well tell them to pray to heaven and hope I'd hear them.
I smiled then, glad that my friend was looking for me.
It was time to visit her anyway. I had only seen her briefly when she'd--interrupted Edward and I.
I had to thank her.
--
"Where the heck are you Bella?" I mumbled as I strolled through Chicago.
There was no way I'd be able to find her in this big city if I didn't know where to look. I didn't even know where she lived. She said she was visiting so she'd stay in a hotel, right?
"You are so mysterious, Bella. No wonder Edward's going crazy for you."
"Hello, miss. Spare a poor man a pretty penny? Jus' a penny, will ya? You look like money...." A homeless man asked of me as I passed by.
I took pity on him and threw a twenty into his styrofoam cup. I hated that life was like this.
"Thanks ma'am. You sure are a nice lady." The guy gave me a toothy smile.
I nodded and quickly hurried away. No matter how much I felt sorry for him, I had to be careful. I was in no way able to take on a full grown man with my tiny size. And Jasper wasn't here to defend me either.
"Bye bye." He called after me like a little child. The guy had to be thirty or so. I wanted to cry. I had a big heart and took things like this hard.
I looked down as I felt something vibrate in my pocket.
"Oh hi Jazzy!"
"You OK, Alice? I had this feeling...."
"Oh you ALWAYS have feelings. I'm perfectly fine. Honest. I--I just haven't found her Jazzy. I feel useless."
"I'm sorry honey. Maybe she just doesn't want to be found. I can't imagine how she'd feel right now."
I gasped, my eyes wide and mouth gaping. "I hadn't thought about that! Oh poor Bella."
"Don't stress over this Alice. She'll be fine, I'm sure, when you find her."
I chewed on my nails. "I wish I could be so sure, Jazzy."
Jasper, knowing me best, sighed. "Please stop chewing sweetie. You'll be angry later."
Alice nodded and yanked her hand out of her mouth. "Yes, I know. Habit."
"One we need to break."
I laughed freely. "I'll work on it. Promise."
"Good. That's all I ask."
"I love you, Jazz."
"Love you too Alice."
We hung up and I set about trying to find a place suitable to eat in. I was starved. Edward had woken me way early. I barely had any time to scarf down breakfast before I was out the door. And an apple barely counted as a meal. I was tiny but I could sure eat.
I finally found a nice little cafe that had an enticing aroma surrounding it. I stepped in a found myself in a two person booth.
Staring at the empty seat in front of me, I sighed wishing that Jasper was here.
"What can I get you?" A waiter came up seconds later.
"I'll have a cheeseburger with the works. Hold the pickles. I'll have a side order of fries and some water. Oooh, do you have soup?" I rattled off.
The waiter then proceeded to tell me what the soup of the day was and I ordered a bowl of that.
I was very hungry. Plus, I knew I wouldn't gain the pounds. I was tiny and was going to stay that way thanks to my metabolism.
He came back a few minutes later with my food. I practically attacked the poor man. What? I was ravenous!
"Wow Alice. Haven't they been feeding you?" A familiar voice laughed.
I looked up, soup dripping from my spoon.
"EMMETT!!!" I screamed with glee.
I jumped up from my seat and swung my arms around my huge friend. Huge as in muscular, not fat. Emmett was one of my best friends. He and Edward hit it off well too. I hadn't seen him in so long so when he slid into the booth across from me, it was hard to believe.
"Where have you been all this time?" I wondered.
Emmett shrugged. "Where haven't I been? Me 'n Rose have been travelin' like crazy ever since that job o' hers took off. Modeling apparently likes to be everywhere and I can't just let me Rosie go off on her own!"
I tilted my head. "Oh, you mean Rose, that girl from high school?"
Emmett blanched. "Uh...yeah."
"Wasn't she Newton's girlfriend all four years?"
Emmett balled his fists. "Yeah, well she hadn't met me then."
I laughed at this, taking a bite out of my burger. "Em, you never were a real looker. Big ole dirty overalls, messy hair, a totally Southern accent...boy, you were no better. Rosalie didn't even bat an eyelash at you. What'dya do to her? Blindfold her?"
Emmett grinned despite himself. "She found what an idiot Newton was and looked me up. After that, it's history."
"And I'm guessing that the fact that you became a bodybuilder hurried along that process real quick."
Emmett rolled his eyes and dug his huge grubby paw into my fries.
"Hey!! Hands off or else you're paying for it!" I growled, almost chopping his hand off.
He laughed at me and stole them anyway. "That's fine. I'm more than able."
I made a disgruntled noise and decided to drop it. For now.
"Hey, where's the missus?" It suddenly dawned on me.
"Ah...she had to go to the restroom. I can't wait for you to see her though! She's so beautiful...."
I snorted into my water.
Emmett and Rosalie...never thought I'd see the day....
A/N:That's only a sample. There's more to come! When will Bella show up? What's Rosalie like? Is Edward going to have this pain for as long as he's with Bella? And will Geneva just go and burn in hell? lol
I don't know.
Hope you had a happy holiday!!!! :-)
