I couldn't sleep so I decided to go for a walk and somehow I ended up in the place where Edward and I last talked in our senior year. Everything still was the same, I could see much, but it felt like it though. I sat down on the back next to a willow tree and looked at the lake.
I wished for a place like this in New York, a place which would feel like home.
I remember multiple evenings when me and Edward just would come here and sit and talk. It was then before everything went wrong.
"Where did we go wrong?" I whispered in the air.
"I don't know." I jumped because of the voice. Bu then I smiled when I recognized his voice. Edward came closer to me. "Can I?" I nodded and scooted over so he could sit down. His shoulder brushed against mien and I felt warm inside again.
It wasn't that I didn't love Jasper; it was the fact that I couldn't love him enough. We were happy, truly happy, but there were these moments when something would remind me about Edward and I just…I just wished I would be with him instead, wondering how life with him would've turned out.
"Couldn't sleep?" He asked dropping his elbows on his knees and looking at the lake.
"Yeah. You too?"
"Me too."
"It's so peaceful and quiet here."
"Yeah, it sure is different from New York." He said.
"Right? Where…where do you live?" I asked hesitating. It felt stupid to ask him that and it felt stupid that I suddenly knew nothing about him.
"I live in LA most of the time, but I'm in New York very often." He sighed. "Whenever I'm there I meet up with Alice." That was a shocker. She never mentioned him.
"I didn't know."
"I asked her not to bring me up if you don't ask. You made it clear that you don't want me. "
"It's not that I didn't want you. I was confused and everything was so messed up."
"I know. But we could've worked it out. I would've change for you."
"I know Edward. But it just wasn't our time."
"Well it's not our time right now either. I mean you are engaged, I'm engaged. There's nothing left to say or do." Don't say that.
"Edward I-"
"No Bella. It is what it is."
I nodded. Suddenly he leaned back and wrapped one hand around my shoulders pulling me closer to him. I wrapped my hands around his waist and dropped my head on his chest. I will take what I can get.
Next morning I woke up in my bed with Edwards's scent still lingering on me. I looked at my watch and it showed that it's almost 12.
I got out of bed and did my morning routine. Alice wanted us over to her house for lunch and then she said we should go out-of-town to have some fun, because this week was all about us. Next week though will be going on in so much stress.
I walked out of my bathroom and stopped when I saw Edward in his room only with a towel around his hips. The sight of him was mouth-watering. I remember that he was sexy back in high school, but now he was much sexier. I slowly traveled down his body with my eyes, he had a six-pack, mouth-watering six-pack, and that perfect 'V' that some guys had going on. Suddenly he turned around and I dropped myself on the ground. I hope he didn't saw me. That would be embarrassing.
I peeped up and saw that he was gone. Sighing and stood up and looked at the watch. I was late. I'm late. Oh my god I'm late.
