Ch 12 One Less Tear Shed

I ran up the stairs and into Bella's room bursting through the door. She sat up startled waking up from her sleep. She looked around before she put her head in her hands and began to cry. I felt the sudden urge to console her and tell her everything was 'okay' that I was here for her again, so I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist hearing her gasp loudly.

"Bella, what's wrong?" I asked. She turned to look at me with shocked eyes.

"Edward?" It was like she couldn't believe I was really here, as if I was a figment of her imagination that might disappear.

"Yes, it's me Bella. Now what's wrong?" I asked kissing her forehead.

She launched herself at me and started sobbing. "Oh Edward, I've missed you so much! It felt like you took a part of me with you." Her tiny voice was muffled by my shirt. Did she really feel that way? I thought it was only me.

"Bella, I am so sorry I left like that, I shouldn't have done that I don't know what came over me." Lie, you know what came over you Edward—jealousy, the burning thought of Bella with another boy. "Will you forgive me?" I asked ignoring my own thoughts. She bit her lip thinking really hard of her decision.

"Maybe," She said batting her eyelashes. How gorgeous was she?

I laughed and pushed her down on the bed and started to tickle her. 'Maybe's' not good enough. She was laughing so hard, squirming underneath me, her face lighting up with the glee that was missing a minute ago.

Bella's POV

Edward was making me laugh so hard, it hurt. When I was gasping for air he let me go and smiled his crooked smile making my heart to beat faster than usual.

"So do you forgive me Bella?" He repeated with an 'I'm sorry pout' in full affect.

"Hm…" I murmured cupping one side of my face. "Uh… Yeah!"

He chuckled, "Thank you."

I sighed in relief when I realized all the hurting I had experienced since he was gone, stopped. "Wow. It stopped." I trailed off in wonder. He raised one eyebrow and tilted his head to the side confused.

"What stopped?" He questioned.

I touched his face, and felt an electrical zing go through my fingers when I touched him. Weird.

"The hurting. While you were gone I couldn't breathe, but since you're back it's like my lungs have a fresh batch of air in them." I said making him smile. "Let's go downstairs." I added eagerly.

He didn't say anything, just took my hand and led me downstairs. My mom Esme and daddy Carlisle greeted me first. "Oh darling, you're finally back." Esme cried tearless tears into my neck.

Carlisle hugged me. "Oh Bella, I was so worried."

"I'm sorry daddy." I apologized feeling guilty I made them worry so much. He kissed my cheek and was soon enough found hanging upside down by Emmett and Jasper. Each one had one of my legs in their hands and were smirking down at me.

"Hey kiddo, back to normal?" Emmett asked jokingly.

"Yep." I said and Jasper exhaled in relief.

"Good. Maybe we can lighten the mood up with our happiness." He said smiling at me. I knew it didn't hurt Jazz as much to be around me anymore, but I knew there was still something that pained him.

"So how was your first date with Josh?" He almost spit the name as if it was an insult for him. Why are we acting like this? It's so strange. I'm guessing Jazz felt both my confusion and nervousness because I suddenly felt calm.

I looked back at him and said. "Thank you Jazz."

"No problem Bells."

I noticed Edward's eyes were hard but eager for information. "Well it was awful. I mean I went but I couldn't stop moping. So a couple of days later, I broke up with him."

Edward suddenly smiled radiantly at my comment and I stared at him in awe. My mommy Rose came to me and kissed my cheek while I wrapped my arms around her slim waist hugging her tightly. Alice came up to me with a huge smile and stated,

"Well, let's put this all behind us, like this never happened ok?"

"Agreed." Edward and I said in synchronization.
