Off To War
(Chapter 21: You Promised!)
"Bella?" Edward called out again. No this wasn't real. My dead husband was not in front of me. I'm just hallucinating; you do it all the time Bella. I sighed internally, who was I trying to convince.
Lilly and EJ were now standing in the middle of the room, looking as confused as ever. I stood from the couch.
"EJ, please take your sister home. I wanna talk to Edward" I said in a motherly tone.
"But mom-", "Edward Charles don't argue with me!" I said cutting him off from his complaint. He huffed.
"Fine, come on Lilly" he said grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the door. Once they left and I watched them walk into the house I turned towards Edward. I didn't know what to say, how to act. He came closer to me.
"Bella" he whispered, reaching out his hand for me to take it. I did nothing. If this was really Edward -which I knew it was; means he never died, so he lied to me, and left me to take care of our kids by myself. Then I was so pissed off. His expression turned into a disappointment. He moved forward to me, only causing me to take a step back. He attempted again.
"Don't come any closer!" I yelled frantically. He reached out his hand again.
"Bella" he said, his voice shaking a bit.
"Is that all you can say!?" I yelled.
"Please" he pleaded, stepping towards me, causing me to walk back more. I was about to take one more step when my back hit something solid - the wall. I was cornered. I sighed in frustration.
"Please what, Edward?" I yelled.
"....." No answer.
"What do you want me to say?" I asked him.
"That you love me" his beautiful voice rang out. I never looked up, not bringing my eyes to meet his.
"I can't" I said. I heard him take in a sharp breath.
"Why" he sounded hurt. I looked up and gasped.
"E-Edward, your eyes?" I said motioning to what were now his honey colored eyes. He looked down, quickly.
"You didn't answer my question" he said, avoiding eye contact.
"I don't know" I said. He looked up. "You don't know what?" He asked.
"I don't know if I love you Edward and I can't explain why. I mean could you blame me?" I asked. In truth I did love him, I loved his so much. But I wasn't ready to show it to him again. I'm hurting so much.
"Y-You don't love me?" He asked stuttering. A tear slipped from my eye.
"I can't deal with this" I said slipping past him, and headed for the door.
"Bella, wait. I-If your my wife" I grimaced.
"Then, that means... that the kids are...m-mine?" He asked, hurt and shock evident in his eyes. I laughed a humorless laugh.
"No Edward they're Mike Newton's!" I yelled sarcastically.
"Of course they're your's Edward I haven't been with anyone since you died!" I yelled, causing him to flinch back.
"Oh, wait your still here. Which obviously means you didn't die. What kind of sick joke is this?" I asked, on the brim tears. His eyes turned angry.
"Isabella, this is not a joke" His voice stern. I was actually scared. And he had seen that...
"Bella I'm sorry..." He said looking down at his pale white hands.
"Don't apologize. I don't wanna hear it!" I said flailing my arms.
"I need to go, I'll talk to you later, or whatever" I said opening the door. He grabbed my wrist.
"Let go - you're so cold!" I realized how cold he was. He turned wary and released my hand.
"Edward what's going on?" I asked, really confused.
"I wish, I wish I could tell you. But I don't know how" He explained. I frowned.
"You don't know how?" I asked.
"Bella I love you more than anything in this whole world, I'd die for you" He said in a low enough whisper for me to hear. I felt my heart braking all over again.
"No! No you don't Edward, because if you did... you wouldn't have left" I screamed. Dropping to my knees.
"You wouldn't of left" I repeated. Then I grew angry again.
"YOU PROMISED!" I shouted. He just stood back, watching me with a pained expression. My tears were flowing down my face now.
"You promised me, you would come home. No matter what it took" I whispered. His expression turned hard.
"You think I knew about this Bella!?" He said half yelling.
"You think I fucking, knew I even had a wife!?"
"...."
"You see Bella. I didn't even know you existed, until I saw your sweet face!" He explained.
"I don't-I don't understand" I said, puzzled. His hands balled into fists. Causing his already pale hands to turn whiter.
"...You didn't remember me?" I asked feeling hurt. I can't believe my own husband didn't remember me.
"You see Bella... It's not the fact I didn't remember you. I-It's just I didn't even know you about you. All I knew was that, when I saw you; I loved you. Then I remembered...everything" He said running his hand through his hair. I am so confused...
"So...you say you didn't remember me. Then what made you forget?"
"Remember the bomb?" He asked. I flinched back from the memory, but nodded.
"That's what made me forget. That's all I can tell you. I am so sorry; you deserve a lot more..." He paused.
"But I can't tell you...yet" He said. What else was I to do? Force it out of him. One thing was for damn sure.
He would be explaining this to me, and it will be soon. Because I am one pissed off mama, and when something involves my kids...It involves my life.
An: So...I have a few things to say. For one, I am so sorry for not updating sooner. I have a life I need to tend to, before fan fiction, I hope you all understand. Also, sorry it was so short. I really hope I didn't disappoint you guys, because to add to all the drama and shit, I have writers block. And writers block is never a good thing. So review and tell me what you think. Next Chapter is Edwards POV. He confronts jasper...
Tiny little preview!
Once Bella left the house I went mad. Why the fuck was I just finding out about this now. I had a beautiful wife, I had kids...
"Jasper!" I yelled as I burst through his bedroom door.
"Why the fuck didn't you tell me!?" I yelled
