As promised if you reviewed for me.
So....She's leaving on a jet plane....Sorry couldn't help it.
Oh you all pulled out the stops with the reviewsbb's and for that I love you so much more. So what's it like when you realise you love someone and are about to lose them?
Edward's POV
"Look I just have to get through long enough to see someone...Please?" I hated begging but this was worth it...She was worth it.
"I'm sorry sir but unless you have a ticket I can't let you through!" She didn't appreciate my persistance.
I was distracted for a moment by some commotions that was going on behind me. Someone had run into someone's trolly and their cases were splayed all over the floor while their owner shouted at the culprit. But my attention was soon turned back to the matter in hand. I didn't have time to pay any attention to stupidity.
"Please?" I tried one more time but she wouldn't back down.
"I'll gladly let you through if you show me a valid ticket sir."
Right...A ticket...Where the fuck would I get a ticket?
She must have recognised the look on my face because she pointed to a kiosk by the help desks.
"Right...Thank you." I turned and sprinted over to where she'd indicated.
"I need a ticket to Phoenix for the six thirty flight....Please?" I started tapping my foot while waiting for her to type shit into her system.
"Well let me see if we can help you out young man." She was cheery...That could work to my advantage.
"We do have a few seats left...the ticket price for these seats are one hundred and fifty seven dollars." Her smile was infecious and I couldn't help smiling back while wondering if I had the cash on me.
Credit card...Yes!
"I'll take one please." I handed over the card and gave her my details while see tapped away on the keys.
"You don't have very long before it leaves sir so I suggest you run." I was so happy to actually get a ticket that I hoisted my body over the counter and kissed her cheek; making her blush.
"Thank you so much." I grinned as I turned and started running back over to the check in desk ready for round too with the battle axe.
She didn't give me any grief thankfully and let me passed. It's not like I had any bags or anything to slow the process down.
(Earlier that day)
Bella's POV
Alice had taken me to Seattle airport ready for my flight to my new life.
One that would leave Edward, the one true love of my life...behind.
"Bella I'm going to miss you so much." Alice's sobs were enough to rival my own, and she hadn't even got a broken heart.
"I'm gonna miss you to Alice." I cried as she held on to me for dear life. "I call you when I get in ok?"
"You better!"
With that I turned to walk through the security barrier that wouldn't allow her to go any further with me.
I'd spent the rest of yesterday curled up on my couch in my apartment crying. there was no point in denying the memories that swam in my mind. I was hurting but found some comfort in the thoughts of our time together. I thought back to the morning I found him asleep at Alice's...the way he looked wrapped in a towel a few days after...John fucking Jacob and burnt pizza...Playing dress up...how it felt to have his body moving with mine...his lips on my skin.
I closed my eyes, willing myself not to cry and threw my bags up on to the conveyer belt to be scanned then turned out my pockets to walk through security.
No beep.
I walked to the end to pick up my bag but the guy was checking it over so I had to stand and wait for him to finish.
He pulled everything out and gave it the once over including my camera.
Yeah buddy because it's really an in cinerary device.
The pictures on it however might cause me to spontaneously combust though; pictures from prom that Edward took using it when we were at his place...
Too painful.
He threw everything back in...Much to my annoyance, and handed me it back nodding towards the way to the departure lounge.
I found a seat away from the crowds and sat cradling my legs, resting my head on my knees while finally allowing myself to cry again.
I was running away again...'Doing what I did best' as Edward had put it the night of the storm. But I couldn't stay here around him like this. I loved him and I'd told him...He didn't imply anything to suggest her felt the same.
I'd tried to fool myself that I didn't love him and that it had been just having a bit of fun...like it started out as. But my heart had tried to warn me on so many occasions that I was falling again...Not again...I'd never truly stopped loving him to count it as again.
But I should have known that it would be too much for him to handle; me telling him about my feelings for him.
It was unfair on my part if truth be told.
I was the one that walked away before...I was the one to instigate our dangerous games over the last few weeks...And I was the one that let my self break my own rules.
Now I was the one leaving again.
I couldn't blame Edward for my behaviour in this. Before we'd slept together I'd been the one to say I didn't get into relationships. Why should he even have considered things as any different?
But I couldn't help my heart now. It was too late.
I sighed as I reluctantly took out my camera and switched on the power.
I flicked through the different pictures of us at the best prom ever...us dancing...one of us snuggled up together in his bed with the comforter pulled up around us. We were kissing and he'd held the camera up to take the snapshot.
I smiled as I remembered the amazing sex. It almost felt like we were making love...but I couldn't fool my self any longer. I felt the tears silently falling over my cheeks.
That's when I notice it.
In the back ground of that very same picture was the teddy bear I won on our very first official date when I was seventeen.
He'd taken me to a carnival and we'd spent the night going on all the rides and playing some of the games. I had a go at the coconut shy and won. The guy gave me a choice of a goldfish or a little 'I love you' teddy. I'd looked at the orange fish then back to Edward laughing.
"What?" Edward had looked mystified.
"I think I'd better take the bear!" I sniggered. "From what I remember of you and goldfish...this poor guy would be dead within the week!" I chortled
"Yeah...You're probably right." He shrugged, smiling while he threw his arm around me and led us off to another game, cuddly bear in tow.
We'd shared our first kiss that night too...when he'd walked me home.
We'd stood on my front porch and must have said 'so' countless times before he put his hands to my hair on either side of my face and slowly placed the sweetest chaste kiss on my waiting lips.
And there it was the very same teddy bear, tucked almost out of sight behind his alarm clock...but it was definitely there.
"How the hell did I miss that?" I stared at the picture incredulously.
He'd kept it all this time.
Edward's POV
My feet pounded a sea of linoleum and my thighs burned like a bitch...but I couldn't slow my pace or I'd be too late...She'd be gone and I couldn't even consider that option. I had to get to her before she got on that stupid plane.
I'm such a dick!
I should have just manned up and told her that I loved her when I had the chance. Now I was probably going to be too fucking late.
No!
I couldn't give up.
If I had to go to the ends of the earth to tell her then I would.
My body carried on propelling itself through the crowds of people making their way home to their loved ones for the holidays.
"Hey! Shmuck! Watch where you're fucking going!" Some guy yelled in a thick accent.
"Sorry!" I shouted back over my shoulder, not actually looking at the now disgruntled passenger behind me.
He was right though...I was a shmuck.
I was in love with Isabella Swan...My sister's best friend but was too stupid to it until it was too late
Almost too late.
I don't know what I was going to say when I saw her but I knew I had to try and stop her.
As I was here running through Seattle Tacoma international airport, she would already be stood waiting to board a metal bird back to Phoenix at the gate; leaving me behind so she could try and live...survive had been her words.
She'd bared her soul and told me, said she was in love with me and I just stood their like an idiot.
I glanced at the gigantic clock over the departure board
6:27pm
The flickering screen below also let me know I had no room for lateness as her flight was on time.
I had three minutes.
I could still make it...
I had to.
I've always been in love with her; I was just too pig headed to see it as love.
Ever since back in high school, my eye's only ever seemed to be attracted to her. We'd been friends for years and seen each other through our awkward stages yet she always remained beautiful in my eyes; growing more beautiful with the passing days.
I had the chance back then to have made her mine and I did...I mean for fuck sake...we did lose our virginity to one another...And that was my down fall...If I'd just kept my stupid mouth shut then everything wouldn't have gotten messed up as bad as it had.
Two minutes.
My legs were starting to feel like jello but there was no way I was going to stop.
My heart was pounding so hard I feared it would jump out of my chest; maybe it was trying to get to her before I did...So she could take it with her.
I knew my time was running out but I couldn't give up yet.
One minute left.
I rounded the last corner before the gate and crashed into a long line of luggage carts being pushed by some punk'y looking, pimple faced kid. My momentum took me clean over then into a heap on the floor and I shook my head as I gathered my self back together. The little fucking prick flipped me off for disrupting his nice neat line of carriages.
"Fucking bite me phlegm wad!" I glared at him as I straightened my self up before taking flight again towards the woman by the gate.
"Hey! Hey! Wait up!" I shouted as she closed the doors to her side.
"I'm sorry sir the plane is already boarded and ready to go." She gestured with her hand to ask me to move back.
Fuck that shit right up.
"Wait...I have to get on that plane." I protested
"Well then maybe you should have tried to make it here on time...I'm sure if you go back to the customer service kiosk and tell them you missed your flight then they'll rebook you for the next one." She smiled and grimaced at the same time and I knew the bitch was just trying to be pretentious.
"Look lady!" My patience had completely fucked off with the kid with a 'connect the dots' face and she was pissing me off by the second. "I don't want to go to phoenix! I had to buy a fucking ticket to get them to let me through to here; I have to get on that flight! I have to tell someone right now that I love her...I..." My voice cut off weakly as I caught sight of the plane being pushed back onto the tarmac, ready to taxi to the run way.
My heart fell silent and my knee's gave way from under me.
I felt empty...cold...dead.
"I love you too Bella." My voice broke in less than a whisper as my head fell to touch the glass wall in front of me.
Yeah...Like I needed a panoramic view of the love of my life leaving me here.
I stayed there, dejected and broken as I watched it pick up speed then shoot off into the clouds.
She was gone...I was too late...
...But I wouldn't give up...I know what I wanted.
I rushed onto my feet and high tailed it out of there while forming a plan, trying to ingore the burning in my legs.
It would take me a couple of hours to get back home from here...but then again if I put my foot down...Maybe just over the hour.
I could do that!
I needed to go home for some shit first but I could be back here in three hours and still make it in time for the next flight to Arizona...It would be late when I got there and I'd have to call Alice for her new address...and her mother's seen as she'd probably head there first...I could do this!
I loved her.
I had to...It had taken me nearly seven years to even think it to myself let alone tell someone it.
I got pissed off with traffic while trying to head out of the airport grounds and swiftly hit the gas once the road ahead was clear and I hit the interstate...For the first time in my life it was clear...no more uncertainty...not more maybe's...this was it for me. I'd just been a fool not to see it sooner and save all the heartache that had been caused through my wavering.
The night sky turned grey and dark as I headed back to Port Angeles...a storm was coming. Panic filled me as I thought about her up there with it crashing around her...I remembered her clinging onto me while scared shitless...and I wasn't there to hold her or keep her safe as I promised...But I would be in future.
If she'd let me.
But then what if I am too late and she doesn't want me...I've probably scarred her even more over these past precious weeks...weeks of my life that I would never forget
I had to at least try.
My car came to a skidding halt outside my apartment building as my foot found the brake. It was raining hard again and I could hardly see a foot in front of me as I took the stairs leading up to the entrance. I fumbled with my keys and the lock so much in my haste that I managed to get completely soaked through.
"Come on!" I growled in frustration.
"Edward."
I barely heard the soft sound of my name but it froze me where I stood.
I know what you'r thinking.....'NOT ANOTHER FUCKING CLIFFY...SHE'S PISSING ME OFF WITH ALL THIS LEAVING US HANGING SHIT!' Am I right? Please don't hate me too much lol
So review if you want more...
