Edward hugged me to him as I watched the door, that Jake had just ran through, waiting for him to come back.
He didn't.
Alice smiled at me, but I could barely see her through my tears.
"Bella? Do you want me to go get him?" Edward asked me gently.
I shook my head.
I was going to fix this myself. I stood up, and turned to Alice.
"Can I borrow your phone?"
"Why?" She asked, but she had already got it out and was giving it to me.
"So that I can fix this. I got rid of Tanya, and I brought back Jasper and Caitlyn. I can definitely get Jake back." I told her firmly.
"You got rid of Tanya?"
"Brought Jasper and Caitlyn back from where?"
Edward and Alice asked me at the same time.
I sighed.
"It's a long story, but I screwed up, and managed to fix it by making a few calls."
"To who?" Edward asked me.
"To you." I replied, digging my phone from the past out of my pocket.
I then scrolled down my contacts and found Jake's number. I dialled it into Alice's phone.
Jake picked up on the first ring.
"Bella? Found out anything about your kidnapper? I'm helping the police out. We will find you. I'm not waiting for 10 years."
I ignored him.
"Listen, Jake, you need to do me a favour. What was the date I went missing?"
"From that club, Back To The Future?"
"The club was called Back To The Future?"
"Yeah, why?"
I laughed inside my head. Of course it was called Back To The Future. It had sent me to the future.
"Uh…no reason. Listen, what was the date?"
"5th August."
I did the maths inside my head.
"Ok, listen Jake, you have to do something for me. It's really important."
"Anything for you, Bells. Name it."
"On the…6th August, I need you go to Alice's house."
"But it's the 10th August today, the 6th August has been."
"No, I mean the 6th August, 2020."
There was no reply.
"Hello? Jake?"
Edward and Alice were looking at me curiously. This call would make no sense to them.
"2020? In 10 years?" Jake finally said.
"Yes. That's the day, I'll come back."
"No! We'll find you before then!"
"We've been over this, Jake. You won't be able to find me before then! I'll tell you everything on the 6th. Just gather everyone and come to Alice's house."
"Everyone?"
"You, Edward, my parents, Rose, Emmett and James."
"James? Who's he?"
Oops. Of course. James wouldn't have been born yet.
"Rose's son."
"Rose doesn't have a son. She's not even married." Jake said, sounding extremely confused.
"Just forget it. I can't go into that now. Just bring all those people to Alice's house. I'll be there, and I promise I'll tell you everything."
"I love you, Bella."
"…Thanks. Oh and call Edward first. Thanks Jake. Bye."
And then I hung up.
Edward and Alice were staring at me.
I wondered how long it would take Jake to call Edward.
We stood in silence, for a few minutes.
And then I saw Edward's face change. Instead of looking confused, anxious and tense, he just looked happy.
And then Jake appeared.
"So anyway, thanks for the book Edward." Alice was saying to Edward.
"No problem."
Edward smiled at me.
"See you tonight. I'll pick you up." He leaned in and kissed me.
I looked at Jake, expecting him to get angry again, but he just grinned.
"See you tonight Bella." He said before hugging me tightly.
I followed Alice to the car, and we drove away.
It had worked! On the 6th August, Jake must have listened to me, and brought everyone to Alice's house. Then I would have told them my whole story all at once, so no one could get angry over who I told first. And by no one, I meant Jake.
Alice turned to me and smiled.
"What are you thinking about? Or should I say, who are you thinking about?"
I grinned back at her.
"No one. Just how much I love my life."
"Well, you're really lucky. We're all really old and you're still 19!"
She laughed.
We drove home, chatting happily.
Jasper was already home from work early with Caitlyn when we got back.
"So what are the plans for tonight, girls?" Jasper asked us, while we were eating lunch.
"Well, Edward is picking up Bella at 7, to take her to dinner. But we have until then."
I frowned.
"Why did Jake say 'see you tonight' then?"
Alice shrugged.
"I was actually wondering about that. Maybe he meant he'll see you when Edward takes you back to their house. They're room mates."
The rest of the afternoon passed swiftly. We took Caitlyn to the park, and she fed the ducks and played on the swings.
Soon it was 7, and Edward's Volvo pulled up outside Alice's house.
I was wearing a black, knee-length dress that Alice had bought for me when she had gone shopping.
I opened the door, when Edward rang the bell.
"Wow. You look…beautiful." He greeted me.
I smiled.
We drove to a restaurant, and ordered our food.
We were talking, when out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jake, standing outside the window, gesturing to me.
"I'll be right back." I told Edward, and he nodded.
I slipped out the back door, towards where I had seen Jake standing.
"What are you doing here?"
"I needed to talk to you!" He told me.
"Well, I'm having dinner with Edward. I'll talk to you later."
I turned to go, but he caught hold of my hand, and pulled me back.
"Do you love me?"
"I haven't had time to think about it, Jake."
"You haven't had time? It's been 10 years!"
"Yeah, for you! I was time travelling remember? It's only been 5 days for me!"
He sighed.
"Sorry, I forgot."
He grinned at me.
I couldn't help but smiling back.
"Edward's waiting for me. See you tonight, Jake."
I turned to go, but he pulled me back again.
This time however, he pulled me to him, and crushed his lips to mine.
After a few moments, he let go of me.
I stepped back in shock.
"Edward…waiting…"
I hurried walked back to the table.
Edward looked at me, concerned.
"What's wrong?"
I shook my head, quickly.
"Nothing."
We finished dinner, and we got into the car.
As we were driving, I looked at him.
He turned to me.
"Bella?" He raised his eyebrow, curiously. "What's wrong?"
"I…just…I was thinking about how much I love you."
"He smiled, lovingly at me.
"I love you too, Bella."
He leaned closer.
His sweet breath fanned my face.
I heard a horn beep, and I looked up.
A set of lights were heading rapidly towards us, through the darkness of the light.
"Edward!" I screamed.
He swerved, and I heard the sound of screeching tyres.
The sound of the two vehicles smashing into each other was tremendous, ear shattering. The crunching of metal screeched and echoed around as I was thrown from the car, my seatbelt tugging at me brutally as if it were a death dealer, deciding that my time was up and wanted to pull me back into the wreckage of my car.
My head felt as if someone had tried to split it open. A new pain seared across my shoulder, the combination causing black spots to form in front of my eyes. I realized that my shoulder was dislocated, and after a tentative touch to the back of my head, I knew that I'd hit it pretty badly against the car. There was a gash that was bleeding and would undoubtedly need stitches.
Moving slowly, I unclipped my seat belt, moaning in pain as I moved.
Painfully, I turned to look at Edward. Was he alright?
Through the darkness, I could see Edward.
He wasn't moving.
Inching forwards, I held his face in my hands, and turned him towards me.
From the light of the lamp posts, I could see his eyes were shut, and he had a nasty gash across his forehead.
"Edward?" I whispered.
There was no answer.
"Edward! Edward!" I screamed.
I felt an agonizing pain, but it wasn't from my injuries.
It was of my heart, breaking.
