Chapter 10: Back on Track

~Edward's point of view~

Today was Friday, July fourth; exactly one month after the accident. Bella had been helping me remember graduation – showing me pictures and videos of the ceremony – and I was starting to get bits and pieces of my memory back. When I did remember something, it would be like a bomb went off in my head. The only thing I could do was stop, breathe, and think. So far, the only things I remembered were rehearsals – winking at Bella and her being late – and meeting Jasper. Everything else was a blur and felt as if what people told me happened actually didn't.

It was nine-thirty in the evening and I was on my way to the local park in Forks to meet up with Bella, her dad, and Emmett and his girlfriend Rosalie. We were all going to shoot off fireworks by the Queets River, as we did every Fourth of July. My parents were going to Seattle to watch the fireworks and the parade there.

I spotted Charlie's police cruiser and parked behind it. I got out – got my bag of fireworks out of the trunk – and proceeded to walk to where I saw Bella. She was standing by the large oak tree, staring up into the sky. It was curious because there weren't any fireworks set off yet.

I set my bag down at the picnic table where Charlie, Emmett, and Rose were sitting, talking. I said hello and then walked over to where Bella stood. I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind, rested my chin on her shoulder, and whispered into her ear. "What're you looking at?"

She placed her hands on mine that were wrapped around her waist. "The stars. Aren't they beautiful?" She continued to stare.

I turned her around to face me. Our lips were only inches apart. "Not with you here in comparison."

~A dazzled Bella's point of view~

He turned me around in his arms to face him. "Not with you here in comparison." His warm breath hit my face. I became lost in his eyes. They were the most beautiful shade of green I had ever seen. "Bella?" He asked, pulling me out of my revere.

"Yes, Edward?" I blushed. I felt so embarrassed when he caught me admiring his features. Maybe that was because I did so almost every twelve seconds.

He chuckled. "Never mind. Come on, it's time to set off the fireworks." He smiled that perfectly imperfect smile of his and took my hand. We walked back to the picnic table where everyone else was sitting and talking. About what, I wasn't sure.

All of a sudden, Edward stood completely still with his eyes closed. If I hadn't known better I would've sworn he was a statue. His grip on my hand tightened.

"Edward?" I said worriedly. He was beginning to scare me. He just kept standing there, us all watching him. "Edward…" I said a little more frantic. "What is it?" I removed my hand from his. As soon as our contact was broken his eyes shot open. He looked straight into my eyes.

"I…I remember all of it." He said in a shaky whisper.

I was confused. And apparently so was everyone else. "All of what?" Charlie asked.

Edward took my hand again and kissed the back of it. He never took his eyes off mine. "Everything…up until now I mean. The accident, graduation, all of it." He looked to everyone and back to me. He leaned down and whispered in my ear. "And I remember kissing you for the first time." I couldn't help but blush. Edward chuckled and hugged me close.

"Well…" Emmett said, "Now that we're all back on track, let's set off some fireworks!"

And that's how the rest of the night went. Exploding colors in the sky.

~Later: Bella and Edward~

As soon as the fireworks were over, Edward and I went to go tell his parents the good news. Even though we woke them up at midnight, they were happy that Edward remembered.

It was around 1am. Edward and I were sitting on the couch – both not tired – watching movies. He was sitting on one end of the couch and I was on the other with my feet in his lap. I was pretty cozy.

"Bella?" Edward said.

"Hmm?" I acknowledged.

"What Mike were you talking about?" He asked hesitantly.

At first I didn't know what he was talking about. Then I remembered;

We had been on the road for ten minutes and Edward still hadn't said anything to me. He wouldn't even look at me. I finally got fed up. "Edward, what is your problem?" I demanded. He was starting to make me angry.

"It's…well, nothing. Never mind." His jaw set and he stared at the road.

"Just tell me, please?" I begged. Great! I had resorted to begging.

"If you must know: When you were sleeping, you started talking." I knew I did this and I was immediately embarrassed. What had I said that had upset him this badly?

"What did I say?"

He sighed. "You said Mike Newton's name."

"Bella?"

"I really don't know. I don't remember anything about my dream. But…I'm sorry that I caused the wreck. If I hadn't argued my point then you wouldn't've lost your focus. I'm sorry." I said. I pulled my legs to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. Now there was definite space between us. Maybe he was still angry with me.

"Bella, love," He said. My heart leapt. Hearing him call me love was like an electric shock. I liked it. "Don't apologize. I shouldn't've gotten mad. I mean, it was just a dream. You could've been talking about anyone. Besides, I was the one driving and I should've been paying more attention. I'm the one who is sorry." He hung his head.

I scooted closer to him and let my head rest on his shoulder. I laughed. "So this is what we're gonna do? We're gonna play the 'I'm more sorry' game?"

He laughed too. "I guess that's where we're at right now."

"Okay, but for now. Can you just be my boyfriend and forget all the bad stuff?" I asked. That wasn't like me. I was being more brave than I usually was.

Edward smiled smugly. "Oh I think that can be arranged."

And we continued to make out like teenagers – which we basically were.

Okay…This chapter wasn't exactly perfect. Please review!!!

Oh, and I think I'm going to skip a few months in the next chapter. If I don't things are going to move really slowly…not to mention I'll get writers block.

REVIEW!!!
