"I can't" I whispered. Edward's cold breath touched my neck
"Yes you can" he said. His fingers were clutching mine. I squeezed my eyes shut.
"I can't go to your house" I told him softly
"Come on Bella. Alice is going crazy" he said. I could practically see him rolling his eyes
"Aver" was all I said. I felt Edward's hand brush my hair
"Come on" he said softly. When I didn't move, Edward picked me up.
"Hey! Put me down" I told him trying to get off.
"Humor me" was all he said.
Instead of getting into the car, he started to run. Fast. He was so fast, I couldn't see anything. Everything was a blur to me even though I was a vampire. I laughed; remembering the first time Edward had carried me and ran. It was so scary at that time but, now it just seemed silly.
"If I may, why are you laughing?" Edward asked me sounding amused.
It felt so good to be able to be near Edward again. It felt like I had never been in pain. It felt like I had never felt like killing myself. Edward was like a drug to me. I couldn't live without him, even though I had tried, I had failed. Whenever he was around he made me feel complete. I could hardly believe that I had been in so much pain for the past 51 years.
"I'm just thinking about the first time you ran with me on your back" I told him and laughed again.
"Oh, I see" Edward said. I heard the smile in his voice.
"If I may, why did you decide to run instead of traveling by the car?"
I asked him curiously.
"I didn't want to leave you. I had to touch some part of you to make sure I wasn't really dreaming or dead" Edward said.
My insides melted. Edward was so perfect. He was everything a girl was looking for in a guy. Why did he fall in love with me? I was just a normal girl. I wasn't freakishly beautiful or outgoing or smart. Then why did he fall in love with me?
"Bella!" Edward said. His voice sounded angry. That's when I realized that I had spoken my thoughts
"Bella, you're perfect. You're everything a guy ever wants. You're a real beauty, not like Rosalie the queen of coldness. You're kind. You're one of the kindest girl I've ever met. You're care about everyone, even people who you don't even know. You're a selfless person; you would rather die than see anybody die. You're perfect" Edward said. I shook my head
"Where else I am a total Moran. I couldn't find the perfect girl and when I do I leave her grieving in pain. I leave her unprotected, and then I go off and date another girl, I-" before he could say anything else, I planted a kiss on his neck.
"What was that for?" he asked me.
"For loving you" I told him
"I love you" he replied. I smiled to myself
I buried my face into his back as he ran. I left alive at this moment. I didn't know how long he ran with me on his back, not that I cared. If I could stop time this would be the moment I would choose. I don't know how long he ran but, suddenly he stopped. I squeezed my eyes shut.
"We're here" Edward said. His soft velvety voice sounded happy
"I know" I replied to his back
"Everybody's waiting for you" Edward said. He pulled me away from his back and set me on the ground. I took a deep breath
"Let's do this!" Edward said. I laughed weakly and started to walk with Edward towards his house.
I couldn't believe I was going to meet the girl who was in love with my vampire boyfriend. My life messed up. I sighed and started to walk faster. Edward laced his fingers through mine and we both started to run. When we arrived at the porch, I looked at Edward. He nodded. I sighed again and rang the doorbell. In a flash the door opened and I was pulled into a big massive hug.
"BELLA, BELLA, BELLA!" the person squealed. It could be no other then Alice
"Hey there" I said to her as I laughed. Her tiny body was bouncing up and down, up and down.
"BELLA! BELLA! BELLA!" she squealed. Edward rolled his eyes at Alice
"Hyper annoying stupid pixie" Edward murmured
"BELLA! BELLA! BELLA!" Alice was still bouncing. I laughed again
"Alice, you're scaring Bella" Edward joked. Alice glared at him.
"Shut up, you idiot. I'm still mad at you for making me leave her" Alice said. She was still bouncing up and down as she said this. It was strange how Alice could be happy and mad at the same time.
"Will a shopping spree fix that?" Edward asked her. He was smiling
"We'll see" Alice said. I could tell it was hard for Alice to deny a shopping spree. Suddenly Esme appeared in the doorway. A happy smile on her face.
"Bella, darling!" Esme said as she hugged. Finally, I was in the arms of a mother. I hugged her back eagerly.
Esme pulled me inside the house and I saw that everyone was there except for Aver and Niya. Carlisle put his arms around me next. His warm topaz eyes looking happy.
"Welcome back" he said as he kissed my forehead
"Out of my way! Out of my way!" I heard Emmet said. I looked up to see Emmet standing in front of me with his arms open.
"Will little Bella give big Emmet a big hug?" he asked. His eyebrows dancing. I laughed as I hugged him. He pulled me off the ground in a bone crushing hug. It still hurt.
"Emmet!" Edward yelled
"Put Bella on the floor before" Edward said panicky. Emmet put me on the floor and rolled his eyes at Edward
"Jeesh, she's a vampire. I won't be able to kill her in a hug" Emmet said and punched him lightly on his arm.
"Shut up, you idiot" Edward said as he out his arms on my waist and pulled me towards him.
I melted into him embrace. I literally went limp into his arm, the last time he had hugged me was before my wrenched 18th birthday party. Everything disappeared; it was only me and Edward here. I know it's kind of over dramatic to say everything disappeared but, it true. I couldn't see anybody but, Edward. His topaz eyes, his straight nose, his messy hair and his lips. Oh, those lips. I yearned to touch them. I yearend to kiss him. We stared at each other lovingly.
"Uh hum" somebody faked cough. I quickly looked away from Edward. My eyes landed on Jasper. He was standing in front of me and won't meet my eyes.
"I'm sorry" was the first thing he said.
"I'm sorry for trying to kill you. I am so very sorry, I just lost control and I-I can't explain it to you how sorry I am. I know you probably won't forgive me but-" I cut him off by hugging him lightly.
"I forgive you. I forgave you 51 years ago" I told him
"You did?" he asked looking shocked.
"Of course I did silly" I told him
"It's pleasant to not want to kill you every second" he said. We both grinned at each other.
I looked around and saw Ryan hanging out all by him. He was standing at the end with his hands shoved into this pocket. I walked towards him. When he looked up, I smiled.
"Hey" I told him. I had never spoken to him in my life before.
"Hey" he told me. His eyes looked dead
"Where's Niya?" he asked me. His eyes brightened when he mentioned her name. I looked at him in confusion.
"She left a note and told me she was going to meet you!" I told him feeling panicked. Where was she?
"I'm here!" said a voice. Everyone's head turned towards the door to find Niya standing there with her hands in her hips. She walked towards Ryan and me. She first hugged me and then she ran over to Ryan and hugged him. Hard.
"Where the hell have you been?" Ryan asked Niya. He looked alive again but, he also looked angry. He was clutching Niya's arms. Niya looked away
"Look, I'm sorry I-" Ryan cut her off
"Where the hell have you been?" he asked her in a scary voice.
"Tracking down Edward" she mumbled. She still wouldn't look him in the eye
"I swear, if you do that again I'm going to kill myself. Did you know how worried and dead, I've been feeling? Did you know how much I love you? Do you know that?" he asked her. She finally met his eyes
"I won't do it again" she whispered. Ryan leaned down and kissed her right on that spot. I sighed in relief. When Ryan released her, she looked dazed. I smiled to myself. Niya then looked at me, she was still hugging Ryan.
"I thought you left me" I told her
"Puh-leze! Like I could ever live without you. I went to find that lunatic vampire who you love so much. I don't know how you can love him, I mean he's like an idiot-" Edward cut her off
"Niya" he said while he glared at her. She glared right back
"Idiot" she said while everybody laughed
"So um where's Aver" I asked. I felt guilty right now
"She's in her room" Alice replied. Her eyes were dancing.
"I'm going to go uh talk to her" I told them awkwardly and started to walk towards her room.
I was almost there when, suddenly someone grabbed my waist. I gasped.
"You don't have to do this" Edward whispered in my ear.
"I do" I told him. He turned me around to look at him. I got lost into his eyes…..his dark golden eyes….I shook my head; I had to go talk to Aver.
"I have to" I told him. I heard him sigh
"Alright" he said. I pecked his cheek and started to walk towards Aver's room. I knocked on her room gently.
"Come in" she replied in a muffled voice.
I entered her room and gasped. Her room used to be so clean but, now it looked like a hurricane had passed right through her room. There were papers and cloths everywhere. I could see a lot of burned pictures. When I looked at Aver, I gasped again. Her hair was a mess, her eyes looked dead and she was still wearing her wedding dress even though it was dirty and had holes in it.
"A-Aver" my voice trembled
"What?" she snapped. She looked angry
"I just came here to say that I-I'm sorry and I-" she cut me off
"Please leave" she replied flatly
"I'm sorry-" she cut me off again
"Look, I love you and all but, I need time to readjust" she said. Her voice was trembling
"So please leave" she said. I nodded
Well that went well, I thought as I closed her door. I had hurt Aver. I knew that. I didn't want her to be in pain, I wished she could be happy. I sighed as I walked. Suddenly, voice made me stop
"I need you help!" a voice said. I turned around to see Ryan standing there looking frustrated
"For what?" I asked him
"I don't know how to propose to Niya"
