BellaPOV
I woke up from a text message. It was from Edward. I sat up in my bed, rubbed my eyes, and opened the text message eagerly.
August 27, 8:10am
To: Bella
From: Edward
Come here please!
Before I could reply, he texted me again saying,
August 27, 8:11am
To: Bella
From: Edward
That was meant for Alice, sorry.
"What?" I said to myself.
If that text was meant for Alice, then does that mean that he's here in Washington?
My stomach got a million butterflies fluttering around in it. I can't run away from it anymore. I texted him back with,
August 27, 8:12
To: Edward
From: Bella
I miss you.
I stayed laying down on my bed, staring at the text for a couple minutes. Then I quickly hit send before I could change my mind and chicken out. I was also scared of what he'd reply, so I left my phone on my bedside table and grabbed my clothes for a shower.
Before I walked out to the bathroom, I glanced at my phone again. No new message. I took a deep breath.
"You're fine." I whispered.
The shower I took was a long one. I relaxed my tense muscles with steaming hot water. I only turned it off when the water got cold. I took my time drying my hair and body.
You could say that I was putting off checking my phone.
I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted him to reply. If he didn't, we could pretend like it never happened. If he did, I don't know what could happen. Probably major chaos.
I got changed and walked slowly into my bedroom. Time to face the music.
It was a humid day today. More on the colder side than the hotter side.
When I picked up my phone to see if I had any text messages, I almost screamed when it vibrated. I might have shrieked a little bit.
I heard Angela open the door to her room and come into mine.
"Are you okay?" She asked frantically.
I laughed.
"I'm fine. My phone just went off and it scared me." Angela giggled a bit.
"That is such a Bella kind of move." She replied to me, with a big smile on her face.
I smiled back and sighed. It was silent for about 30 seconds. I couldn't take it any longer.
"I'm a bitch." Was the first thing that popped out of my mouth. Of all the ways to start the conversation…
"I am too!" She replies, "I am so sorry, Bella!"
"Same!" I reply.
Angela runs into my arms and we hug each other.
You'd think we'd have a long conversation to work things out, but this is how we do it.
"Do you want to go get some ice cream or something?" Angela asks me. She took a step back and gave me another smile. I really missed Angela. "Or we can just go out to eat and get ice cream there." She suggests.
I look down at my phone. It says Edward. I don't know what I should do.
"You know what," I start, looking up at Angela, "that sounds great. Can you just give me a minute to change out of my clothes? I don't want to wear this if we're going out somewhere."
Angela gives me a funny look, but she nods and walks out of the room. "I'll be downstairs if you need me!"
I was about to open the text message when I heard a yell, followed by a thump, thump, thump, thump, thump. "I'm okay!" Angela yells up at me. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Are you sure? I think I heard a few cracks in that fall!" I yell back.
"I'm fine! But I don't think my phone is! About the ice cream…Do you think we can take a rain check?" She yells up at me.
I sigh and say, "Sure! Are you going to get a new phone now?" We could have walked over to each other and talked, but yelling is more fun.
"Yeah! Or I'm going to see if they can fix this one. You're welcome to join me!" Angie asks hopefully.
"No way!"
"Fine!" I hear Angela take the keys off the counter, then I hear the door slam and the car start up.
My phone vibrates again, and I jump and yelp, again.
It read Edward.
I sit down on my bed for a good five minutes. I was scared. I was the one who sent the message in the first place, so I have to follow through with it. I took a deep breath and opened the first message.
August 27, 8:45am
To: Bella
From: Edward
We need to talk.
My heart stopped. Do I get to see him again? The next message almost made me faint.
August 27, 8:51am
To: Bella
From: Edward
Open your door.
...
EdwardPOV
Alice told me her entire conversation she had with Bella as soon as she got home. I was so freaked out about it, I was shaking.
"Calm down, dude." Emmett said.
I waved him away, and kept pacing.
Emmett, Alice, and I were in my bedroom at the hotel we're staying at. It's a really nice one, with a beautiful view.
My room was a light blue, with a big, white bed, and dark blue sheets. My dresser matched my bed. Too bad I had a connecting bathroom with Alice and Jasper.
"Rose told me she was planning on telling Bella that me and her are here." Emmett said.
I stopped pacing.
"What?"
Em shrugged in response. "I don't mind. They're going to go meet and everything. I really want to see Bella again anyways." Emmett jumps onto my bed and starts bouncing.
"Why isn't my bed as bouncy as yours?" Emmett whines. I put my head in my hands.
Alice joins in with him. "You're right! This one is sooo bouncy! Oh, I don't feel so good." Alice runs to the bathroom, and we hear the disgusting sounds of her throwing up.
"She shouldn't have bounced on here, with her pregnancy and all." Emmett says, still bouncing.
"GET OFF OF MY BED!" I yell. I have no patience for him right now. My head already started hurting.
Emmett raises his eyebrow. "Do you wanna fight me for it?" He stops bouncing and kisses his enormous muscles.
I groan and walk out of the room, and go to find my parents.
…
That night, Rosalie came into my room.
"I'm sorry, but I told Bella that I'm here. I'm going to apologize to her tomorrow over lunch." Rose waddled over to me, where I was laying in bed.
I groaned it response.
"I don't care anymore. I don't feel good at all right now, and you're making it worse. Do what you want. Name your baby after her if you want to. I just want some sleep!" In 2 seconds, I was passed out.
While Edward was sleeping, Rosalie glared at him.
"Jerk." Rose walked over to the connecting bathroom, and got the toothpaste.
Not long after, she had Edward's face covered with toothpaste, but she made sure to keep it away from his mouth, just in case he tried to swallow it.
She walked out of Edward's bedroom with an evil grin on her face.
...
My head was pounding and I felt sticky when I woke up the next morning. There was also a strong smell of mint.
"Ugh. What the hell?" I groaned. The smell made me nauseated, and had my stomach in knots.
I fell out of bed, and crawled to the bathroom. When I lifted myself up to wash my face, I saw toothpaste all over me. I did something most people would do.
I yelled.
"ALICE!"
I burst into her room, and saw that she wasn't in there. What time is it anyways? The sky was still dark. There was no sign of the sun yet.
I groggily walked back over to my bedside table and grabbed my phone. I focused on the numbers. It was 5 in the morning.
Then, I heard the hotel door open and close. I sprinted down the hall, past everyone's bedrooms, and went into the living room. The kitchen was connected to it, on the right. In between both of the rooms was the door to leave. And someone went out of it.
I opened the door and saw Alice and Jasper walking down the hall of the building.
"What are you guys doing?" I said, stomping over to them.
They turned and froze when they saw me. Their expressions looked scared.
"What the hell happened to your face?" Alice asked. Then, she burst into laughter.
I glared at her. "Don't think you don't know. YOU did this!" I pointed at my face.
Alice was holding her side. "I wish I did!" Jasper grabbed Alice's arm to keep her from falling.
"Where are you two going?" I asked. They changed the subject, but I changed it right back.
Alice stopped laughing and giggled nervously.
"Psh. We're not going anywhere!" I raise an eyebrow, and she sighs and says, "We're going to Forks."
"I'm coming with you." I replied instantly.
"But the plan-" I cut Alice off.
"I don't give a crap about the plan. I want to see Bella."
"Looking like that?" Jasper replies.
I shrug in response. Boxers and toothpaste was all that I had on my body at the moment.
"To tell you the truth, Edward, we're just surveying the area. We're not seeing Bella." Alice tell me, sighing.
That last sentence made my body feel deflated. But I didn't care. I was going whether they liked it or not.
"I'm coming anyways." I said determinedly.
Alice and Jasper looked at each other and had a silent conversation. I'm sure she was saying no, and Jasper was saying yes.
After a couple minutes, Alice groaned and said, "Fine! You can come with us, but you have to change. I'm giving you two minutes. Staring…now!"
I was already out of breath from sprinting to the door, and I felt like I was going to throw up. But I refuse to miss the chance to see where Bella lives.
So, I speed walked to my room, threw on a robe, and quickly washed the toothpaste off my face. Then, I brushed my teeth, put on deodorant and cologne, and I sprinted back out the door.
My nausea was even worse when I walked down the hallways with Alice and Jasper.
Jasper glanced at me.
"Dude, you don't look so good."
I said, "I'm fine." While trying not to fall over.
Alice shook her head at me and said, "You're staying in the car. You should have put on something normal people wear. Not a blue bathrobe." She huffed and opened the door to mom and dad's car.
"Alice, honey, I'm driving." Jasper said lightly.
Alice gave him a long look, and shook her head.
Jasper laughed a little.
"Trust me, baby, you'll want me to drive." He walked over to her and gave her a small kiss.
"I'm done!" I yelled, opening the door to the backseat, and climbing in. I closed my eyes and waited for one of them to start the car.
After at least 5 minutes, Jasper got into the drivers seat.
...
We just hit the sign that read Forks, Washington. I was so excited, there was butterflies in my stomach instead of knots.
I'm sure that Alice and Jasper wanted to bite my head off. The entire drive, I was either too hot or too cold. I kept rolling down my window, and then rolling it up. At one point, I threw my robe off.
"We're starting with her school." Alice said.
I nodded and looked out the window. I saw a diner, a small store, lots of green, and very few people. This seemed like a very peaceful place.
We drove around aimlessly, until we saw Forks High School. Jasper quickly parked close to the school entrance, and Alice jumped out quickly. Even though she's pregnant, she sure can move fast.
"Remember," Alice said, keeping her door open to talk to me, "you are staying in the car at all times. Understand?"
I nodded.
"Good! I'll keep my window cracked." She slammed the door shut and bounced away with Jasper.
I don't think the school doors would even be open. But I was proved wrong when Alice opened up the doors and walked in with a huge smile on her face.
I waited in the car for about ten minutes, but I started to feel claustrophobic. I checked the time on my phone, and it read 8:07am.
"I'll wait another 5 minutes." I told myself.
After about 2 minutes, I couldn't stand it, and I hopped out of the car, and sent Alice a text that said,
August 27, 8:10am
To: Bella
From: Edward
Come here please!
As soon as I clicked send, I realized that I sent it to Bella.
"Crap!"
I quickly sent a message to her again.
August 27, 8:11am
To: Bella
From: Edward
That was meant for Alice, sorry.
Well, that was an even stupider message to send. I just blew my cover.
I started pacing in front of the car, and waited to see what she replied. I almost fell over in shock when she replied back that she missed me.
The only thing that my brain was telling me to do was go see Bella. I took off running, trying to figure out where she lived.
I passed a ton of houses, but they just didn't seem like the right kind of house.
After walking around, I finally gave up and went into some store. This town was small. Surely, someone knew where she lived.
That's when I saw Bella's sister, Angela. She spotted me too, because her eyes widened in shock. I put my finger to my lips, and pointed to the bathroom.
I quickly got into the bathroom, thank god it was for men and women, and waited for Angela to follow.
She opened the door and walked in. When she closed the door, I swear she almost fell over.
The bathroom was tiny, so we didn't have much space between each other.
Angela looked me in the eyes and started to shriek. I quickly put my hand over her mouth and shushed her.
"Angela!" I whispered.
Her eyes went even wider.
"Where do you live?" I ask.
Angela's eyes go even wider. It was abnormal.
I sighed.
"Will you freak out if I took my hand off of your mouth, or will you stay quiet?"
She started to mumble, so I took my hand off.
"I can't believe it's really you! You are so freakin' hot, it's crazy! I am such a big fan, I have always…" I tuned her out.
I need to find Bella. Her sister isn't helping, at all.
"Angela!" I snapped.
She stopped talking instantly.
"I need to see Bella." I tell her. "Where do you live?"
Angela's eyes narrow.
"I forgot you dated my sister. For your information, she has been heartbroken over you!" Crap, protective sister. "I can't believe you chose that tramp over her! You are so-" I cut Angela off.
"I am trying to make it up for her, okay? I'm pretty sure you've heard about my breakup with Tanya. Mine and Bella's relationship is a long story. Can you please just give me directions to your house? I need to see her." I grab Angela's hands to help the situation.
"Please?" I beg.
Angela starts looking a little faint again.
I know I shouldn't be charming her, but this is an emergency.
"Fine. But you have to answer one question."
"Sure." I reply instantly.
"Why are you wearing that?" She points at my outfit.
My eyes widen. I completely forgot what I was wearing! I looked down at my robe and shook my head.
"I was in a rush." Was what I replied to her. "Directions?"
She tells me where she lives, and says, "Don't you dare hurt her, Edward Cullen."
I kiss her cheek and say, "Thank you." Before running out of the bathroom, and down the street. Her house wasn't far away.
I sent Bella a message, telling her that we needed to talk. I spotted Bella's house. I was one house away from it, so I sent Bella a text telling her to open her door.
Her house was two story, and it was white. The yard was pretty big, and she was near the woods. There was no cars in the driveway, so I don't think anyone is home.
Let's hope Bella is.
I ran up the steps on her porch. Then, I heard footsteps running down the stairs inside the house.
The door opened, and Bella stepped out.
This story is so close to ending, it's crazy! I'm so excited. Sooo tell me what you think:)
