Love Hurts

by Maplestyle

I met Edward Cullen on my first day at my new high school. From that moment on we were practically joined at the hip. We dated for the rest of Junior year and all of Senior. Though we didn't take that ultimate step in our relationship, we were very much in love… or so I thought.

11. Chapter 11

Still with me? Mid, Annie, Missy and K are love!

Six months after that fateful day in the meadow, I finally reached out to Edward. Sent him a message on Facebook asking how he was. He didn't respond for three days. I didn't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't for him to tell me he was doing great, that his classes were excellent, and he'd met some really amazing people.

I guessed, deep down, I thought he'd still be pining for what we had, kicking himself for making such a rash decision. I wanted to ask him if he ever doubted his decision to break up with me. If he wanted me back. To tell him I would take him back in a heartbeat.

My heartbeat that so rarely felt normal without him around. The ache in my chest that grew by the day. I wanted to cry and scream all over again that he sounded so damn good, so fucking happy.

Even if it was only through the words from thousands of miles away, on the screen.

Thank you all for your kind words about my Grandma. She passed in November and we were finally able to place her in her forever home with Grandpa. Lots of tears shed, but lots of smiles too!
