CHAPTER 25

BPOV

I am at Edward's condo although now it is really Edward and my condo because I spend all my time there; I had just finished making dinner a few weeks after our flying trip to Portland. Our lives seemed so perfect will the wedding 6 weeks away. Edward was at the hospital delivering a baby. I received a text from Edward saying, "I do not need you anymore. Edward"

EPOV

After I sent the message I set my phone into my locker and headed into the shower. When I came out, I ran into Esme. "What are you doing here?" I asked "I texted you that I didn't need you anymore."

"No, you didn't."

"Yes, I did. I grabbed my phone to show her the text and I saw I had a message waiting on my screen. "Fuck! No! Oh my god! What have I done!" I collapsed to the ground holding the phone.

BPOV

When I saw the message from Edward, I started crying and thought to myself, fine he is cruel and breaking up with me on a text. I texted him back, "Fine coward, I'm sorry you don't need me anymore. Tell everyone I said goodbye and take care of my niece and nephew for me. You will never see me again." Then I turned my phone off. I started crying, went and grabbed a bag, and I was gone. I stopped at a Circle K and got water and food and tried to decide where to go. So I headed towards the airport, and when I was about 20 minutes away from the airport my car quit working. "Shit."

I quickly called for a cab and then turned the phone off again to wait for the cab.

EPOV

Esme took my phone and read the message. "Oh my God," she said, "You sent the text to Bella by accident. Edward, go to the condo. Maybe she will still be there. I will call everyone else to start looking for her and explain to them. Where do you think she will go?"

"I don't know. Any other time I would say to Rosalie but she won't go there this time."

"I'll talk to Emmett and Rose and see if they have any ideas. Call me when you get to the house."

"I will," and I grabbed my phone and left.

Esme called Emmett and Rose and told them what was going on and then asked, "Where would she go?"

"Normally to us but I don't think she will this time. I do not think she wants to be found. Wait Esme her car has Lo-jack on it. I can call it and they will shut down the car because I know her password."

"You do that and then have them tell you where the car is and we can go from there." So Emmett called Lo-jack and got the car shut down. He then called a police officer he knew to have him run Bella's cell phone and credit cards to see where she might be.

I got home and found the skillet dumped in the sink. I went to our room and some of Bella's things were gone. I called Rose, "Have you heard from Bella yet?"

"No, Edward, we haven't. I am so sorry for what happened. We have to get her back for all of us and for herself as well."

"Rose, she packed a bag, dumped dinner and is gone. Oh my God, she left my ring on the night stand. Where is she?"

"We are waiting for Lo-jack to tell us where her car is."

I called Esme and told her everything I found out. She told me that Alice and Jasper and Carlisle were out looking for her.

Lo-jack system had crashed so the car was stopped but they couldn't trace it at the moment.

BPOV

I was in the cab and had him take me to the airport. I sat in the food court of the terminal until 10 pm. Then I decided to go to Hawaii. My ticket was for a 6am flight. I just stayed at the terminal all night so I could be tired when I got on the flight and be able to sleep the whole way.

EPOV

They found your car at 3am and we all thought you wouldn't go near the airport but headed to Long Beach and skipped the airport. We were all searching the Catalina docks and the Long Beach area but with no luck when Emmett got a call. "Ok, yes. We are on our way."

"Your fiancé is being detained by the police at the airport. She freaked out when she tried to get on a plane to Hawaii."

BPOV

I walked down the jet way and to get on the plane and as soon as I got into the body of the plane I freaked out and the flight attendant and pilot grabbed my arm to keep me from hurting them or myself or other passengers. A doctor quickly figured out my fear of flying and said, "Just get her off the plane and she will calm down. She was trying to conquer her fear of flying." So a pilot stepped me off the plane and I sat down and just started crying. The doctor came and talked to me. I had calmed down some but was mumbling about planes, being scared and tired.

Then the police and security showed up and I said through tears, "Are you going to arrest me?"

"No, Ms. Swan, the doctor confirmed that this is an extreme fear of flying. We are going to get you out of the jet way so that the flight can leave, take you someplace more comfortable and call someone for you." I was crying again quietly thinking I had no one I could call. They helped me carefully get out of the jet way and I was taken into a security office.

"Can I have a few minutes please and is there a bathroom I can use?"

"Yes through that door," that an officer pointed at. I turned and went into the bathroom and collapsed to sitting on the floor crying wondering how long they would leave me alone in here.

EPOV

At 7am, I went flying into the security office with Esme and Rose right behind me. "Where is my fiancé?" I demanded. "The other security and police officers said she was here."

"She is, sir and you are."

"Dr. Edward Masen, her fiancé."

"Sir, she is okay. She is in the restroom. A psychologist was sitting in first class and saw her freak out as she stepped on board the plane. He stepped up and suggested to get her off the plane. Once she stepped off the plane, she was better. He talked to her for a few minutes. Then we brought her here. She is pretty upset."

"Yes, she is for multiple reasons but yes her fear of flying heightened everything else she is going through. Can we all go in and see her?"

"Yes go ahead. You may be a little cramped."

"Thanks," so the three of us went in. I saw my Bella just sitting on the cold tile sobbing and crying. When the door opened, you looked up and saw me, Rose and Esme. You got up and I thought you would walk into my arms but you didn't. You walked by me and slapped me and said, "Go to hell, bastard" and you walked into Rose's waiting arms.

"Rose," Bella muttered, "please take me away. I couldn't get on the plane by myself. Please take me away from all the pain."

Rose then pulled your face back gently and said, "Of course," and when she saw your eyes she said, "Honey, have you even been to sleep yet?"

"No, I thought if I was so tired I could just sleep when I got onto the plane; but I couldn't quite make it to my seat before I freaked out."

"Can we please just go home I want to sleep so badly?"

"Of course, I will take you home," Rose said.

Then I made an 'ahem' sound to gets Rose's attention.

You turned to me and said, "You dumped me; you have no right to 'ahem' us."

"Bella, I promise I will take you home if that is what you want after you give Edward five minutes; this is a huge misunderstanding."

"No, I don't want to. Rose he dumped me with a text," I yelled.

"Bella," Rose said, "it really was an accident he did not mean to dump you. Please give him a chance to explain himself."

"Okay but stay over there Edward; there is no enchanting allowed."

"I wouldn't think of it. Bella, I had called Esme to come to the hospital and help me. I was having problems convincing the mother and father of triplets that it was okay to deliver the babies. But then one of the baby's heart beats quickly crashed and they let me do a crash c-section. So as I was getting ready to get in the shower to clean up after the c-section, I texted 'Esme I do not need you anymore.'"

I came out of the shower and was putting on my clothes when Esme came in. I asked, "What she was doing there because I had texted her she didn't need to come in. Esme then told me that she hadn't received the text. I opened the phone to show her that I had sent her the text and that was when I saw the message from you telling me goodbye. I must have out of habit hit the B before hitting the E and didn't notice."

Esme stepped up and said, "That is all true Bella and then Edward collapsed to the ground saying and mumbling 'what have I done'. Then the mass search for you started and I can tell you no one thought of coming to the airport."

Rose then pulled me back so that we could look each other in the face. She then said, "Edward has not stopped looking for you since he found you missing. He loves you so much; what happened was an accident and he has been beating himself up for thirteen hours. Then when he heard about the plane he was so scared you had hurt yourself or someone else. He is your soul mate and loves you more than I have seen anyone love someone. Now I am going to help you dry your tears."

I saw Bella start to smile and then she looked at Esme and Rose and said, "Thank you for explaining everything" and then Bella turned and walked into my waiting arms. She buried her face in my chest and then whispered, "I am so sorry I slapped you and called you a bastard."

"That's okay. I deserved it and a lot more. I will never mess up a text ever again. I'm so sorry I put you through all of this. I love you."

"It's okay. I should have talked to you but the text sounded so final. When you didn't use love in the text I believed you. I was devastated and just wanted to escape."

"Ms. Isabella Swan, my Beautiful Bella, this ring still should be on your finger because I love you so much. So may I please slide this ring back on your finger where it rightfully belongs?"

"Yes please." I slid it on and then kissed the ring on her hand. As I was about to kiss her, she muttered, "I love you" passed out in my arms. I caught her. The four of us left the bathroom to find the other half of our group and babies waiting for us.

Carlisle said, "Come on Edward. Give someone your keys and I'll help you get Bella home."

I carried Bella to Carlisle's waiting BMW crossover. Carlisle helped me get her slid into the back seat and Bella slept on my lap the whole way to the condo. I leaned back and fell asleep as well. When we got back to my condo, I carried Bella inside and together we slept for hours and never moved. She woke up about 1 in the afternoon and felt my arm hanging around her. As she lifted her head, I said, "Hello, Beautiful. I am so happy to have you back in my bed and still willing to marry me. I am sorry I goofed on my text message."

"Edward, it is okay. I understand it was an accident. Emmett had my car turned off on me. I wasn't looking forward to not seeing you, my family and friends any more. I love you so much. I am so happy I will be marrying you soon and that everything was just a very big misunderstanding."

"Me too," I leaned in to kiss her but Bella wouldn't let me so I asked, "Why not?"

"Because I need a shower, clean clothes and to brush my teeth."

"I'll let you have two out of those three."

"What?"

"Because you have two minutes to get your teeth brushed and then I am taking you into the shower naked," and I kissed her forehead. "Now go and I will be right there."
