As I was making my home, Bella's drawing held all of my attention. Who could that boy be? He looked so familiar; I wish I could place where I had seen him before. Those piercing and all-knowing eyes, the exquisite face, the muscular build, dammit who was this boy! I arrived at my house in record time, the drawing still occupying my attention.
"Edward Cullen, what have you done to yourself? You look like a tomato!" I heard Alice squeal.
What? I hadn't done anything to myself. I quickly went to the mirror to examine my face. As soon as I saw my reflection, the mystery revealed itself. The boy Bella was in love with was ME! That was the only explanation, the picture was almost an exact replica, and how I had not noticed it before was mind-boggling.
"Alice, NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY FACE!" I yelled and ran back to my Volvo.
Bella Swan loves me, me, Edward Cullen. Did I love her? I mean i love spending time with her of course. The days that she has been attending Forks High have been the 2 best days of my life. I had to admit to myself, Bella Swan did hold a place in my heart, but was that place bigger than Madison's? Yes, yes it was I answered myself. How could I not have noticed this before? The way Bella blushed whenever I made a flirty joke or winked in her direction. The way she seemed so hurt after I had hugged Madison this morning.
Bella Swan loved me, and I loved her. I had to make this right. I had to do what her drawing asked, I had to treasure her heart, and not break it like before.
How could I have been such an IDIOT? I was disgusted with myself for Bella accidentally hearing she meant nothing to me. That was the largest kind of blasphemy; Bella Swan was all I could think of right now. She was the only one that could push Madison out of my thoughts, and now I knew why, I loved her.
Before I could even register what had just happened, I was parking in Bella's driveway. I half ran to the front door and knocked as hard as I could.
"Edward Cullen, well this is a surprise," her dad said answering the door.
"Hi Chief Swan, I was wondering if i could talk to Bella for a moment." I said quickly, wanting to ease Bella's pain as quick as possible.
"Yes, of course. She's in her room, up the stairs, first door on your left." he told me
"Thanks sir, I really appreciate it." I said and dashed up the stairs. As soon as I was close enough, all I could hear was tears and Remembering Sunday. My Bella was crying. Had I caused this? Was I the reason for her sadness, her pain? I had to fix this.
I quickly knocked on the door, opening it a crack to announce my presence.
"Bella," I softly whispered.
