Chapter 26.
20.30 PM
No skulking out on the veranda tonight. Edward has always kept his promises to me.
Except for the one where he promised I would die first.
We had the conversation about six months into our official relationship. I guess we just knew, even as a naive 17 and 18 year old that we were meant to be. We were meant to be together. Forever.
Or 70 years or so, growing old together and then being a cute decrepit couple. Still holding hands as we walked down the street together. Most likely because we were trying to stop the other one from falling over.
Edward had promised me that he would outlive me. He promised me this because he knew it would kill me if he died first. He promised to hold me in his arms and kiss me as I took my last dying breath.
Then he said he would top himself after making sure I was gone good and proper. No accidental Romeo and Juliet scene where I would wake up and find him dead, thus totally undoing the promise he had made.
We were only semi joking. I knew that he would do anything to spare me pain.
Which is why tonight we would have to have a deep and meaningful, because his leaving me made me die a little inside.
And if he leaves me again its going to finish the job.
