Chapter 9
Edward's POV
I just needed to escape that room. I had no idea where I was going, nor did I care.
I couldn't take them all thinking about her. I was hard enough on me just thinking about her alone but to have everyone thoughts screaming in my head was killing me.
I did know how Elizabeth was taking it. Maybe because she hadn't known her mother like I had it was easier for her to think about it. My son however seemed like me and wasn't taking it well.
I was right to name him Edward Jacob it seemed to me like he was so much like me and Jacob.
I needed to be near my Bella so I ran back to the house and grabbed my car and started to drive. It wasn't that long before I was back in the small town of forks. I parked the car and walked the familiar path to her grave. I sat down on her grave and started to break down.
"How Bella how could you not hold on just a little while longer. I was going to change you and you promised to keep your heart beating for us so we could do just that." I smashed my fist into the ground. "I wonder if you mad at me. I'm so sorry Bella I promised to protect you and I failed." The breeze blew across my face and I caught the whiff of wet dog.
I knew that smell all too well it was the smell of a werewolf from La Push. I turned to find a young man about 17 standing a few feet away.
"You a Cullen?" he yelled at me. "Yeah" he stepped closer. He stuck out his hand for me to shake. This was so unlike the werewolf's of Jacob and Leah's day.
"Edward Cullen" I said shaking his hand.
"I'm Max Clearwater." This must be one of Seth's Grandkids or something like that.
It explained why he wasn't put off by just the scent of me. Seth had always been so open to excepting us.
"So you guys thinking about coming back to Forks?" he looked a little like Seth. I shook my head. "I'm just visiting. Why did you ask if I was a Cullen? I know the treaty says you can't attack us but what made you think to ask?" He pointed to the grave.
"My great-grandfather always told me if I ever saw someone standing her to ask before attacking them." That made sense
"your great-grandfather was Seth Clearwater. He was a good guy" he smiled at the thought. "He was one of them." He sat down on the grave.
"it's kind of sad you aren't coming back. I really would have liked to meet my great aunt and uncle." I was puzzled
"Great Uncle?"
I probably could have read his mind and it would have made more sense but for some reason I just didn't feel like invading his mind. I really didn't want to be in anyone's head but my own right now.
"Yeah my great uncle Jacob Black, my great grandmother was his sister Rachael. My mom's dad was Rachael's and Paul's son and my dad's dad was Seth's son." Wow that was going to be great to tell Jacob and Leah.
"When I saw you here I figured you all were moving back what with us all changing again." So there was a new pack.
"I really must be going I bet my family is worried about me." I said I had this feeling if I didn't leave right then I wasn't going to ever leave. He looked kind of sad that I had to go. This look I had seen before if reminded so much of Seth.
"I'll come visit again. You reminded me so much of your great grandfather I'd love to find out more about you."
I walked back towards my car smiling. I knew where ever Bella was right now she was smiling it was hard not to smile when you were around Seth and it looked like his Great grandson had the same affect.
I'm a huge Seth Fan. I wish i would have keep him in this story but it didnt feel right. Think i may write a story about him later
