Thanks for all the reviews, alerts, and favorites! Again, another burst of inspiration [:
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. All that brilliance belongs to Stephenie Meyer.
Previously: "Are you sure all of your things are packed?" I asked her.
"Absolutely." She replied. "We're all packed up and ready to head back home to the wonderful town of Forks, Washington."
"Yeah, the only thing wrong with going back is someone isn't going to be there." I told her.
"Is that someone, Edward?" She asked.
"You know me all to well." I told her.
Bella's POV
We were sitting in the airport, waiting for our flight to board. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 4:00AM, but we had a one hour delay due weather. It is now 4:51, and I am sitting in an uncomfortable airport chair by myself. Alice was off somewhere shopping. She said there is always some place to shop. I just do not understand how she has all of the energy, especially at four something in the morning.
I could not get Edward off my mind. Everything I saw reminded me of him. The way he looked, the way he smelled, the way he sounded, and he was all I could think about.
"Bella our flight's boarding, come on!" Alice groaned, snapping me out of my own little world.
"Coming." I replied as stood up.
I grabbed my suitcase's handle and started wheeling it toward the terminal.
"I can't wait to get back to Forks, how about you?" Alice asked excitedly.
"I guess." I replied glumly.
I guess Alice understood because she did not say anything else until we got on the plane.
"Do you want the window seat? On our way down here it made me sick." Alice said.
"Sure." I replied.
After about ten minutes, the pilot came over the intercom telling us that we were fixing to take off.
I buckled my seatbelt and looked out the window as the plane started lifted off the ground.
I left the person who meant the most to me.
I fell asleep with my heart aching for Edward to hold me and tell me how much he loved me.
"Bella wake up!" Alice said.
"Go away Alice." I mumbled, shifting position and trying to go back to sleep. No such luck.
Alice grabbed my shoulders and started shaking me vigorously.
"Bella I said get up!" Alice almost screamed.
No use in arguing with her, it's pointless.
"Ok, ok I'm up." I sighed turning to face her.
"Good, because we're here." She said.
"Already?" I asked.
"Yeah, Bella you've slept the whole way here." She replied.
"Really?"
"Yes Bella." She stated, clearly getting frustrated. "Now let's go we're the only ones still on the plane."
I looked around to see that we were indeed, the only people left on the plane. I stood up and followed Alice down the aisle with my carry on tote and my purse.
We walked out into the crowded airport lobby and looked around.
"I'll go get the suitcases." Alice said.
"Do you need me to do anything?" I asked.
"Nope. Just don't wander away to where I can't find you." She replied.
"Hopefully I can't screw that up." I stated.
"Hopefully." Alice mumbled as she walked away to get the suitcases.
I walked over to a chair close to the place where Alice left me standing. I don't think this would count as wandering to where she can't find me.
I dug around in my purse and pulled my cell phone out. I flipped it open to see that I had three new text messages.
First message:
To: Bella
From: Mom
Bella are you there yet? Text me back.
Second message:
To: Bella
From : Mom
Bella text me back! Don't make me call Charlie.
Mom had already been overprotective. I decided I should text her back before she called Charlie on me.
To: Mom
From: Bella
Mom everything is fine. My flight just landed in Seattle. I'll text you again when I get to Forks.
Love you, Bella
After I sent the message, I remembered that I still hade one unread message. I flipped open my phone again to see that it was from Edward.
It read:
To: Bella
From: Edward
Hello Bella I hope your flight turns out good. I'm about to get on my flight so I'll text you again when I get off.
Love, Edward
I just realized that I never asked Edward where he lives. I was about to compose a new message and asked him when Alice skipped over to me.
I closed my phone and stuffed it back in my purse.
"Good job not getting lost." Alice complemented.
"Thanks." I replied, rolling my eyes.
"Here's you suitcase." Alice said as she rolled it toward me.
"Thanks, again." I replied.
"Wait, how are we getting home?" I asked.
"Oh, I rented us a car." Alice replied.
"Couldn't we just have had Jasper pick us up or something?" I asked.
"We could have." Alice replied. "But I decided not to."
I figured it was better not to question her.
"Ok, is the car here?"
"Yeah it's right outside." Alice said as she walked toward the airport doors, pulling her hot pink suitcase behind her.
I followed her out to see a 2010 black Chevy Camero waiting for us.
"This is a rental car?" I asked, astonished. "Where did you rent it from?"
"I have my resources." She replied as she stuffed her suitcase in the trunk of the car, and then hopped in the driver's seat.
I put my suitcase in the trunk, and sat beside her in the passenger seat.
She turned on the radio, and pulled out of the airport parking and onto the highway.
We listened to the same station all the way to the Forks city limit, that's when she turned the radio off.
"We're home." Alice said.
"Yeah, we are." I replied.
I have to admit that I was a little excited to be back in Forks, the only thing that was missing was Edward. If he were here, everything would be perfect.
"Just drop me off at my house, I need too put my stuff away, then I'll go see Charlie." I told her.
"Ok, I need to unpack my stuff, too." Alice replied. "I'll see you later?"
"Yeah." I said nodding.
"We're here." Alice told me.
"Thanks." I replied.
I opened the car door, and walked around to the trunk and got my suitcase out. I started walking up to my house, and pulled out my house key. I unlocked the door and walked in. The familiar scent of strawberries filled my nose. I shut the door behind me and laid the keys on the counter beside me.
I felt all alone in my big with just me here. It has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Sometimes I miss living with Charlie, but then I think that if I were still living with him, I would still be treated like a child. I know I made the right decision by moving out, but I still can't help but second guess myself.
I went upstairs and unpacked all of my stuff, and put on a fresh change of clothes.
I came back downstairs, went out, and got in my 2010 Ford Mustang. I started up the engine, and headed of to Charlie's.
As I pulled in the driveway, I saw Charlie step out onto the front porch. I parked the car and he was at my door opening it for me.
"Hey Bells we missed you." Charlie said.
"Hey dad missed you too." I replied as I stepped out of the car.
We stood there in an awkward moment. Charlie didn't really like to hug, and it was one of those hugging moments.
"Do you want some food? I can cook something up." He told me.
"No, that's ok, Dad." I said a little too quickly. "I was just stopping by to show you I made it home, safe and sound."
"Ok Bells. Stop by again soon." He told me.
"I will." I replied.
I waved goodbye, and got back in my car. I started driving around town, not sure, where I was going, and not really caring.
I ended up stopping at the Carter Café. I walked in and sat ordered a veggie burger with a slice of berry cobbler.
I sat down at the table I usually sit at, and started waiting for my food.
"Bella?" I heard a voice say.
I turned around. "Edward?"
