Edward and I had been talking almost everyday several times a day. So it wasn't a surprise when my phone when off during my chemistry lecture one day. I looked down at the phone before checking the message.

E: Hey beautiful

B: Hey yourself. What are you up to?

I texted him back before looking up at the professor. I knew that I would probably be texting the rest of the class so I turned my recorder on. I was just beyond happy to be talking to him again.

E: Leaving my lessons for the day. What are you doing?

B: Sitting in my chemistry lecture

I excepted him to send some smartass reply. He always knew how to surprise me for the better.

E: I miss you!

B: I miss you too!

I really did miss him and to hear him say that he missed me too. Well that gives me butterflies in my stomach, my palms become sweaty, and my heart beat a thousand times a minute.

E: I would really love to see you

B: Same here. It's been too long.

E: I know. I'll talk to you later. Enjoy the rest of your chemistry lecture.

B: Okay. LOL

E: Bye Sweetheart

B: Bye handsome!

I sat there the rest of my lecture thinking about him. We've been talking for almost two months back and forth. There were some nights that I felt bad for him. Why? He would call me ten o'clock his time and wouldn't get off until after four o'clock in the morning his time. We talked about everything and anything. I had told him somewhat about Jacob, but never went into any great detail. I just told him that it was a really bad and ugly break-up. Of course he told me about Tanya. They weren't together anymore, but I could've killed her for what she did to him.

I looked over my schedule to see when I might go visit him.

"And I saw that I would have an extra long weekend off soon," I said reading aloud. I noticed something then and there. Anthony was tearing down the walls that I built around my heart after James. Everyday a layer was gone, and my heart opened up to him more."

I closed the book and handed to back to Jane. I was in L.A. now, and enjoying every minute of it. I loved the fact that my book was getting so much positive feedback. Everyone that I have met has found a way to connect with Amanda. While in reality they are really connecting to me.

"Bella," Jane said bringing me back to reality. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," I responded. "I'm just tired from all the flying."

"Okay," she said. "You have one more hour of signing. Then you are off to West Virginia, so maybe you can sleep on the plane."

"Thank you Jane," I told her taking my seat at the table.

As the rest of the signing went on I couldn't help but think about Edward. While we were talking again, he opened my heart back up. It was so easy talking to him. He knew how to make me laugh. He may not have been there in person, but he still knew how to make me blush. He was my best friend and I loved him. When I thought about that I couldn't help but smile.

Before I knew it, it was time to leave for the airport. Once in the car I slide the heels that Alice packed me off.

"Well," Jane said. "Someone seems to better in a good mood."

"I guess I am," I told her smiling. I knew that no matter what happened between Edward and myself when I thought about him I was happy.

"So," she said pulling her blackberry out. "You're scheduled to appear at The Charleston Town Center Mall center court tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock and will be finished by five o'clock in the evening."

"Great," I said laying my head against the seat.

The drive to the airport was rather shot, and I wished that it wasn't. I wanted it to go on a little longer so that I could sleep for about ten minutes. Once we were inside and waiting for the plane to board I saw something. I noticed a little boy and girl sitting in the floor across from me playing. They reminded me of when Edward and myself were younger. I got up, walked over, and sat down beside of them.

"Hi," I told them. "I'm Bella."

"Hi," the little boy spoke up saying. "I'm Paul and this is my best friend Rachel."

"Well it's very nice to meet you both," I told him shaking both their hands.

"Do you have a best friend," Rachel asked.

"I did," I told them letting the sadness in my voice come out.

"Where are they," Paul asked this time.

"He lives in New York City," I responded.

"Do you talk to him," Rachel asked this time. Damn these kids and the nonstop question bank.

"No," I answered. " We had an argument and haven't spoken since then."

"We never argue," he said proudly. "Do you miss him? I miss her when she is gone."

"Believe me," I started to say. "I miss him everyday."

"Bella," Jane said standing up. "It's time to board."

"You're Isabella Swan," a woman said coming up to me. "Our kids didn't bother you did they."

"No they didn't," I said to reassure her. "I've really enjoyed talking to them. Can you wait here for one more minute?"

"Sure," the other woman said.

I walked back over to my bag, and pulled two books out from it. I quickly signed them and walked back over there handing them to the two woman. When Jane saw what I was doing she brought me two more copies. I signed these more personally then what I would for anyone else. Well except for Alice and the rest of my family. These two books were for Paul and Rachel and I made sure to sign my name as 'Bella'.

To Paul and Rachel

Being best friends is always the most important thing in someone's life. Always be there for each other. Be there for each laugh, each tear, each argument, and each apology. More importantly be there for each other.

With love,

Bella

"Here you go," I said handing them there books. "It was fun getting to talk to you both. Remember to always be there for each other, and have fun together."

"Okay," they both answered hugging me.

"Thank you," their moms said.

I picked my bag up and headed towards the plane. When I made it to my seat and the plane was in the air I went to sleep. Of course I dreamt of Edward, his green eyes that could make me melt, and his bronze colored hair that was always perfect.

I had finally chosen my weekend to go up to New York to see him. There was just one little problem. I hadn't told him yet. I wanted it to be a last minute thing. I wanted to surprise him with my arrival, but I didn't want to be standing in the airport for forever. So I thought that it might be better to tell some of the truth. Before I left for the airport I decided to text him.

B: What are you doing this weekend?

E: Nothing planned, so I'm staying home. What about you?

When I received his reply I knew that I wasn't going to text him back. Instead I dialed his number.

"Hey," he said when he answered the phone.

"So," I started to say but I couldn't finish talking. I wanted to make him suffer for a little bit.

"So," he said puzzled. "What do you want Swan?"

"Can you be at JFK in six hours," I said.

"Yes," he answered. "Why do I have to go there?"

"There just might be a surprise for you there," I said hanging up the phone.

I walked out of my apartment to the cab that I called earlier. I couldn't believe that I was actually going to see him after all these years.
