Hey guys! Oh wow I haven't updated ANY of my stories in a very looong time. And I am very sorry about that. Thanks for bearing with me and not killing my story. Hehe(: Kay well here is the much wanted chapter. It might be a bit short but at least its something. Enjoy!
Chapter 10:
'What was wrong with me? After forgiving Edward for leaving me and everything I just leave like that. I was wrong for that, they didn't deserve it. Then again the way they were questioning what I told them just wasn't fair either. It couldn't be both ways. Ugh! What was I supposed to do?' My run had slowed down to a sprint and then a slow walk, until I came to the place I knew I would eventually end up at. The meadow. I gracefully sat on the grass and listened to the song of the stream nearby, the air swirled with mist. After a few hours the sky turned into a wonderous shade of a light purple and I was calm again. I inhaled the cool air and closed my eyes. "Everything was going to be okay", I told myself silently. I heard an intake of air from behind me and turned to see who it was, though I had a guess of who it would be.
"Bella." he sighed.
"Yes?"
"I'm sorry, truly I am."
"Why?"
"I shouldn't have acted that way. I'm no better than you, I've done far worse. So what you did isn't anything. You shouldn't have freaked out-"
"I know," I interrupted, "you don't need to apologize. I guess I just got overwhelmed but I'm good now." I smiled. Edward came and sat down next to me grabbing my hand.
"How did you know I would be here?" I wondered.
"I didn't, I just came here." He had shifted his position so now I was leaning against him, his arms around my shoulders. I could feel his lips press against my hair. The feeling of being human came to me. I closed my eyes and thought back to those magical human afternoons we would spend here in this very meadow.
His voice interrupted my thoughts, "Bells you wouldn't believe me if I told you that every day for 75 years I just drowned in my own grief. I couldn't make myself understand that I left because it was right. And even in the end when I finally understand, I was too hardheaded to come back just to see you once more. Just to see if my choice had in fact given you the life I wished for you to once have. I couldn't have cared less about what I would see. As long as I saw you, my beautiful angel, one last time. But I couldn't find it within myself to come here. I just… I couldn't."
On that last word I heard his voice break. I could hear the pain. The agony. The regret. I wanted to take all of that away from him. I wanted to make him happy once more.
"Edward. Sweetheart. Stop beating yourself over the past. We are here now. Together once more. And that is all that matters. I have forgiven you for everything that has happened and it's time to move forward." I lifted my hand and placed it on top of his. I interlaced my fingers with his.
"Bella, what have I done without you these past years?" he whispered. "Never again will I ever make such a foolish mistake. I will forever be by your side." His lips touched the back of my neck and I shuddered with satisfaction.
"Edward Cullen."
"Yes?"
"I love you." I said quietly, kissing his hand.
"Today. Tomorrow. Forever."
Short! But it's something, right? Hopefully I get back into my stories this summer.
