Love is like snowflakes
Love comes like snowflakes
I hold my hand out to catch it but it always melts
From the first moment I saw you it was always you
I take one step and again another step
Because to me it only needs you.
-Junsu- Nice Guy OST
Edward POV
Months passed and so did her presence in my life. I smiled every day as if nothing had happened. My family continued on too, but they missed her as much as I did it was always visible on their faces and their voices when they spoke about her. Everything in my life was wrong. I wanted her to come back to me, Renesmee continued to ask me for her every day I saw her, but I had no response to her.
I wanted Bella to know that I was here for her, that I needed her. My declaration of love sent her away. But I firmly believed that she felt the same way for me. She was scared. Her eyes said everything, I didn't need words to understand what her eyes told me.
Her putting herself in danger for me proved that she cared in some way. I believed that, that was love, but she just didn't know it. She put herself at risk for me. If she didn't love me in some way then I didn't know what it was.
I looked into her heart without her knowing, maybe that was my mistake... but I wanted her. She had to grasp that even if it took me forever. I would wait how ever long it took me to find her and let her know.
It didn't matter if months or years continued to pass I would wait if it meant having her in my arms. All I wished to tell her was to look back at least once. To see what I offered her... what she meant to me.
The words I love you. Where within me. I wanted to let them out, to tell her, but I couldn't. All I could do was keep it to myself for now. Those three words pained me when I heard them. I didn't want to keep them to myself I wanted to show her and tell her how much I cared. And not just one day but every day of my life.
I've been trying to live each day at a time. I really have. Jasper has helped me cope. Unlike before I actually went to my family. They've been a great support.
Enduring life eased a bit when I'm with my family. Their love surrounds me. But then I always think of her. Who was there for her right now? I really hoped... as selfish as it may seem that I am the only one waiting for her.
I could never forget her... there was no hope for me. The longing for Bella continued to build up each passing day. I continued to search and look everywhere I walked to see if I could possibly find her again. Every time I saw brown hair in the streets my heart always seemed to stop in hopes of finding her, but I haven't been successful yet.
All I could do now is take steps forward in hopes of finding her.
As my legs took me forward I found myself looking out the window and it was snowing.
Just like it had a year ago, before I met her at the airport. I remember I was jealous then as I imagined her with another guy. But finding her again was completely different. I found out new things about her life that were the opposite of what I had imagined her life was. I never knew and I still don't know whether her being single was a good or bad thing yet. She suffered but it let me find her again, but what if she had met someone else?
She wasn't enjoying her life as much as she should then... she suffered for years, but right now I planned on finding her and showing her that life was better than that. I wanted that opportunity, I wanted that chance to make her happy.
As the snow fell and I imagined Bella looking at this snowfall too. I didn't know what controlled me at that moment but I felt as if she could hear me. The snow would deliver my message to her.
"Bella please some back to me." I whispered. "Just this one time. Bella please look back because without you there is no tomorrow."
Love indeed is like a snowflake I chuckled to myself. She came down to me beautiful, brilliant, bright. But she left and disappeared just like the snow. I really hoped that this snowfall was foreshadowing her return into my life. If it wasn't...then this honestly was a cruel life.
A few weeks later-
"Eddie man! How's the weather!" Jasper shouted through the phone.
I sighed. This guy was in a good mood.
"It's cold Jasper." I replied as I continued to pack my clothes.
"Well ready for New Years!" Alice cut in.
"Of course Alice, Phoenix equals sunlight... so I'm glad to be going back home!" I said cheerfully.
"Well," Jasper interrupted. "I feel ya. Forks is a cold and rainy place! I don't know how I ended up here! I miss Phoenix!"
I was about to speak when I heard shuffling in the background and a loud groan.
"Damn never mind." Jasper replied.
I started to laugh, Alice was offended. "It's okay Jasper I know." I offered.
"Hey!" Alice screeched.
"Calm down Alice, Phoenix is an awesome place!" I added lightly as I rolled my suitcase out the room.
"Hey I know Edward don't forgot that I've been there before and all I gotta say is that it was too hot I don't know how everyone managed!"
"Alice you have to learn to love the sun." I said as I locked my door and waved slightly at Mrs. Claire.
"Well I'll try." She said before handing the phone back to Jasper.
"Hey Edward we gotta go catch our flight see you in Phoenix." He said.
"Ya see ya." I said as I ended the call.
I hailed a cab and got in. I saw the same posters around every building. The best selling book series Lost, was in productions, it was casting people.
Sunny, hot, beautiful, home. Those thoughts ran across my mind as I arrived home. Finally to my house were I had so many memories. I quickly payed the cab and got in door with my key. Why knock, it would be a bigger surprise to walk in secretly. But my plans tumbled down as soon as I saw everyone literally passed out on the living room. Rosalie was sleeping on top of Alice. Jasper was sprawled on the blankets, while Emmett was drooling on the floors. What a nice welcoming.
I chuckled to myself an I walked into the kitchen and there indeed was my mother.
"Hello mom." I said.
She jumped slightly before running into my arms. I kissed her forehead slightly before letting go.
"Edward, it's great to have you home." She said as she pulled my luggage toward the stairs.
"You're the only one that welcomed me! But mom give me that suitcase I'll take it." I said as I gently pulled it away from her.
She huffed before smiling again.
"Well your dad went out to buy a few things he'll be home shortly to welcome you." She giggled.
I scrunched up my nose in confusion, she was giggling.
"Mom what is it?" I asked.
"Nothing dear just go up and rest for awhile everyone down there pulled an all nighter. I told them to go to sleep, but they were so caught up in their conversations they stayed there till the sun rose."
I nodded my head before she shooed me away.
When I was in my room I felt as if I was in high school again. Nothing had changed. My piano was still here, my bed still had the same blue covers, my walls still held the same family portraits, and there on top of my bookcase was my yearbook. I reached up for it and I gently started to look though it. Mike Newton, Tyler, Kayla, Angela, Ben, Jessica, and so on. It was wonderful to look back to the old days. I wonder what they did now? I mused to myself.
I smiled as I remembered tackling Newton in Football, Soccer, and Basketball. Those were incredible days I chuckled to myself.
Then there was her picture. She was in the literature club, smiling. The picture was taken about the time of her arrival. As I looked I saw the differences. Besides being younger, her cheeks were flushed the same delicate pink. She was grinning as she held her book. Her eyes were excited and she looked somewhat amused as she quirked her eyebrow slightly. Her hair was long an luscious, but her eyes held immense happiness. They held no sadness or sorrow, she was happy. I felt happy myself when I saw the picture. She wasn't troubled by anything.
"Edward!" Alice shouted as she barged in my room. She ran to me and she hugged me to tightly.
"Alice calm down!" I gasped.
"Darling Alice let him go." Jasper said as he approached us before engulfing me into a bear hug.
"Damn it Jasper you too." I said annoyed.
"No me too!" Emmett boomed as he encircled both Jasper and I.
"Man I can't breathe." Jasper gasped as he pulled away.
"Emmett go home." I replied as I took in deep breath's.
"Man Edward you're finally home, give your big brother a big hug!" He said as he ran toward me.
"Oh no Emmett." I warned as I put my hands up to caution him.
"Emmett stop it you're traumatizing him!" Rosalie shouted as she put her hands to her hips. Emmett immediately stopped and ran to her.
"I'm sorry Rosie!" He said as he engulfed her in a hug.
"Hi Edward." She squeaked as Emmett hugged her tighter.
"Hello Rosalie." I laughed.
"Well Edward you look more handsome!" Alice cheered as she smiled at me.
"Thanks Alice you should calm down though Jasper might get jealous." I joked.
"Hey!" Jasper cut in.
"What?" Alice replied innocently.
"Hey guys ready to play some big games!" Emmett said. I felt my smile widen. Was he talking about what I thought I was talking about? I looked at Jasper for a confirmation and he smirked. Alice an Rosalie looked at each other confused. Heck yes!
"I'm in." Jasper replied.
"Me too." I grinned.
The three of us ran out and began our wrestling in the front lawn. They were all going down!
"Damn Edward, you got stronger!" Jasper gasped as he tried to push me down.
"I know!" I shouted before pushing him off and climbing on Emmett's back.
"Hey get off me Edward! That's not fair!" Emmett shouted as he tried to drop me.
"Heck no! Jasper grab his arms!" I shouted as we both tried to tackled him down to the ground.
"That's cheating!" Emmett bellowed.
"Whatever!" I said as I clutched his shoulders.
I heard chuckling and there was Rosalie, Alice, my mom, and my dad.
My dad looked amused he waved slightly and that distracted me. Emmett took that opportunity to turn me sideways and I fell off his back. Damn I lost first again. That wasn't fair.
I laughed anyway as I got up to see both Jasper and Emmett in a deep confrontation with their eyes.
I took that opportunity and I went to my dad's side. I gave him a one arm hug.
"Edward its great to see you. Especially since you lost first once again." He laughed.
"You distracted me!" I exclaimed.
"Alright son, I guess I did. It was just nice to see you guys wrestle. Even if I'm not a fan, but it just took me back." He said as he patted my back.
"I understand its just like the old times." I replied.
"I just kicked your southern butt!" Emmett shouted as he continued to fist bump.
Jasper got up slowly and he started to smile again. He gave me a mischievous look and then we both ran to tackle Emmett down. Just like the old times.
"Edward you have to see this." Alice called from the living room.
"What is it?" I asked as I looked at her serious face.
"Edward, Bella's new book just came out." She said as she tapped away on her laptop.
Her new book? Her last book already?
"Well, I think I'm off to go buy it." I said as I quickly took my keys out of my pocket.
"Edward wait." Alice said as she held my arm.
"What is it now?" I asked. I felt an urgency to go get that book. It was Bella's life.
"Edward I told you because it was the right thing to do, but Edward I don't think you should go." She whispered.
"Well why not?" I asked. Didn't she care to see what Bella was thinking of?
"Edward I love her, she's family to me, but I don't want to you see you suffer anymore. You have to move on. Let it all go, that was what Bella wanted." She stated.
"But I can't I've tried Alice!" I said as I pulled my arm away from her.
"Edward please stop hurting yourself. It hurts me, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and your parents. Your pain is our pain."
I was furious. "But Alice who's there for her though! I have to be there for her. I care for her too much to simply forget." I said as I walked out.
I had to be there for her. I had to see what her book told me. She was far too important to me. She always will be.
The cover had the same dark cover but it had a ray of light this time. Light meant hope.
I opened the page one at a time and then the letters of dedication stunned me.
For someone that truly made a huge impact in my life.
For the person that inspired this happy ending. Thank you E.C~
I felt everything in me screaming for her. She wrote this for me. The reread that part over and over. I was E.C right? Edward Cullen. It was for me.
