The Pain

I walked out of the house and ran aimlessly into the woods. It's haunting me again. It's coming back. All the blurry human memories 70 years ago seems so clear to me. It's painful. It hurts. I want it to go!

Suddenly, I stopped. I need to take an unnecessary deep breath. I looked around me and realize where I am. I didn't notice that I've gone this far away from the house.

I was in the meadow. I'm in our meadow. I studied it again. The flowers are still abundant. It was still in its perfect circle shape. Nothing changed. It's still the way I used to remember it. The sun shone directly to it and my skin glittered; scattering millions of little rainbows.

That's the time I notice him. He was standing 20 feet away from me yet I can clearly see the concern in his beautiful golden eyes. He glittered like me too; I remembered the first and last time that he took me here to show me what he is under the sun. Edward, my angel.

"Bella?" he finally spoke. I composed myself quickly.

"Why did you follow me?" I asked him.

"Nothing. Jasper suddenly felt that you were sad back there." he explained. I wish Jasper didn't tell the others.

"Oh. Well, I just feel the need of fresh air. I didn't know I went this far." I lied. Good thing I got better in lying.

His expression softened as he walked up to me. He stood just arm's length away from me. The stranger distance.

"Bella, I'm sorr-"he said

I interrupted him before he could finish. "Please don't say sorry. Please. It's been a long time already and I've forgotten some of it. It's all in the past." I said

He sighed. "That's great, Bella. I'm happy for you." He said then smiled crookedly

"I'm just glad that everyone is ok." I said "I missed everyone." I continued

"I missed you too." He said with pain in his eyes. Why would he be hurt? He's the one who decided to leave.

"Maybe we should go back now." I said then walked passed him. He grabbed my hand to stop me. "What?" I asked.

"Bella, I know that I'm not in the position to say this but I wish we could still be friends. If you're happy with Anthony then so be it. But at least I want to be your friend." He said then offered his hands. "Please? Friends?" he asked. I took his hand for a shake.

"Friends." I confirmed. We both smiled at each other. I should be contented with this. I shouldn't ask more.

"Race you to the house?" he challenged.

I smirked. "I'm faster that you."

"We'll see about that." He said then we took off.

We arrived in the Cullen's doorstep in minutes. I won by a millimeter.

"I told you I'm faster." I said in triumph. He just smirked and led me to the door where Alice greeted us

"Hey, did you guys have fun?" Alice teased.

"It's not like that, Alice." Edward said. Maybe answering her thoughts.

We entered the house and saw Emmett and Jasper still playing. Carlisle and Esme are upstairs. The scene that surprised me was that Rosalie and Anthony are talking casually with each other.

"Hey, mo-Bella!" he greeted me. I just waved at the both of them. Rosalie returned a wave too. This is too much for me to handle.

"Rose and I are just talking about cars. I'm planning on buying a new car." He informed me.

"Dear, we don't need another car." I said

"Come on! It will be better since we're planning on working." He reasoned

"He's right. It will be convenient if the two of you will have different jobs." Rosalie backed him up. This is really too much for me to take. He already built a good relationship with her in a matter of minutes. I'm totally amazed

"Come on, Rosie baby! I'm getting jealous here! You're getting real close with Anthony." Emmett said in full pout, which made everyone laugh.

Rosalie walked up to him and sat on his lap. "Don't be ridiculous, babe. You know I love you." She assured him.

Emmett awed and gave Rosalie a quick yet passionate kiss.

"Besides, he already has Bella." She said. I shivered when she said my name so casually. I'm not used to it.

"Do we get to hear the story?" Alice popped out of nowhere and asked. What should I say?

"It's nothing, really. We just found out one day that we can't live without each other." Anthony said. Mom, just ride with me. He said in his thoughts then I saw his face getting closer to me then he casually kissed my lips. We parted then he just wrapped his arms around me.

Gosh, what is Anthony thinking? It doesn't bother me that we kiss. We always kiss. It's just that this time is different. We kissed in front of people!

"Aww, that's so sweet." Alice said. If I could blush, I would have at this moment.

"Aren't you bothered that she saw you in your diapers? She even saw you butt-naked when you're still in diapers." Emmett asked then laughed

"It's ok, I've seen hers too." Anthony said

"Anthony!" I exclaimed! I would really blush right now if I could. Everybody just laughed. What is Anthony thinking?

"Stop guys, you're making Bella embarrassed." Jasper laughed. "Also, you're making somebody jeal- ok, ok, I'll shut up." Jasper said. Making somebody what? I thought.

The rest of the day passed by so fast. Anthony ate dinner there and played more video games with Emmett and Jasper. It's funny because they didn't stand a chance against my son. Alice, Esme and I just talked while watching the boys play.

I just noticed that it's getting late when Anthony yawned and laid down the couch while playing with Emmett. He always does this when he's getting sleepy yet didn't want to sleep.

"It looks like it's time to go." Jasper declared.

"He's right, baby. It's time for you to go to bed." I said

"He sleeps?" Alice asked in amusement. I just nodded in response.

"No, I'm fine. I can still go on." Anthony said

"No, Anthony. Time to bed." I scolded him. He pouted but put down the controller. Even though he's grown up, he knows that he still needs to obey me as his mother.

"Aww… I still need to beat you! Can't he stay a little longer?" Emmett pleaded.

"Baby, you already had him playing for hours. There's still tomorrow." Rosalie said

"But I got to beat him now! I'm just getting started! I already have a plan!" Emmett groaned

"Don't you want…" Rosalie said as she sat on Emmett's lap and began to run her fingers on Emmett's chest. "To spend the whole night alone with me?" Rosalie continued with a very flirtatious voice. This is the first time I've seen her so bold.

"We'll finish this tomorrow, kid." Emmett declared then he carried Rosalie upstairs while kissing her.

"Ugh! Let's leave." Anthony said

"I think that's a good idea. You don't want to hear those. Hang out here again tomorrow, ok?" Alice said.

"We'll see. If I can find a good job fast tomorrow then we'll hang out here." I said. I can see Anthony's eyelids are getting heavy. He's really tired.

We all heard the moans and pants upstairs getting louder. "I guess we better get going." I said

"Would you like me to drive you home?" Edward offered

Anthony's eyes shot open, "no! No. no. I can still drive."

"No thank you, Edward. I'll drive." I said "Good night guys. It's really great to see you again." I continued

"Aww… Bella!" Alice exclaimed then she hugged me. After that, Esme hugged me too.

"It's great to see you too, Bella." Esme said then she let go of me, "Have a safe trip home." Then we waved goodbye.

We silently got into our car and drove away. Anthony was silent but in deep thought.

"What are you thinking, honey?" I asked. He looked at me and showed me something. It was his bonding time with the Cullens.

He showed me the time he played with Jazz and Em, the time he and Rose are talking about cars, the time Esme cooked for him. Everything.

"What's the matter?" I asked

"I hate them." he said

I sighed. "I thought you had a great time with them? Why do you still hate them?"

"That's the point! I had a really great time with them! But they left you before! They got you so attached to them then they leave you! I hate them!" he exclaimed

"Just forget about it, honey."

"Mom, how can I just forget about it? They are the reason why you became miserable all these years! I can't just forget about it."

I sighed. "Baby, I'm ok now."

"I'm not going to let them hurt you again, mom. I promise that." He swore

"I know that but I'm not hurt anymore. Because of you, I managed to move on." I said then I held his hands.

We reached the house then he kissed me goodnight.

"I love you, mom." He said

"I love you too, honey." I said

He went upstairs and washed up then went to sleep. I went into my room and sat on my bed. Anthony is so worried because of me. He's the most affected one in here. I can't show him that I'm feeling the pain again. I have to be strong for him.
