He walked up to us with a grin on his face. "It's my favorite group! What can I get you guys today?" he asked.
"We're celebrating!" Alice shouted.
He looked at me before saying, "Aww, did Eddie finally get himself a girl? Bout time!" he said shaking his head.
"You don't remember me, Jacob?" I asked him. He looked at me confused. "I'm Bella? Bella Swan? First grade?" I asked, trying to jog his memory.
His eyes widened in realization. "Where've you been?" he asked, a bit frozen.
I bit my lip. I really only wanted to tell my close friends. I'd hate to be the talk of the town. "Does it really matter?" I finally asked. "I'm here now, and that's what matters."
He unfroze a little. Then he flashed another grin. "I guess so. Let's celebrate!" he shouted.
We ordered our food, and I told them what Phoenix was like. Jacob stayed with us as I told them.
We finished our food and just as I thought Alice had forgot, she came over to me and said, "Go to bed early! We have a shopping trip to do!"
"So close!" I said, under my breath. Edward took my hand and led me to the Volvo.
"I have a surprise for you," he said. I sighed, wondering what it was. He, being the gentleman, opened my door for me, and we raced back to the Cullen house. Once the car stopped, he dragged me out of the car and to his room. He told me to sit on his bed. He went over to the side of his room and got his guitar.
"You play?" I asked.
"Only for you." he said. "I wrote this for you when I was eleven. It's called 'You and Me' " he said. He started strumming lightly. I listened closely. He started singing, and you could feel the emotions flowing through your heart. As he sang this, I closed my eyes, remembering our childhood. I remembered the sleepovers, I remembered the meadow, I remembered the first day of school, I remember sleeping in each others arms, I remember the jolt of electricity I felt when he touched me. This song perfectly fit us. Tears started forming in my eyes as he finished it. I opened my eyes and looked at him.
I hug-attacked him. "I love that song. It's so beautiful. It fits us perfectly." I said, a tear dropping down my face.
As he wiped it away, he asked, "Why did you close your eyes?"
"I heard the song, and it brought back all the memories of us together. The first day of school, the playground, the meadow, sleeping in each others arms, the 'wedding." as I said "the wedding" I played with my bracelet, fingering the little charms.
"That reminds me. I have another surprise for you." he said. "It's at the meadow." I followed him to the lush, green, oasis of our dreams. "Wait here," he said, as he climbed a tree. Wait, there's something about this tree. I froze in acknowledgement. this was the tree we got 'married' by. I looked up and I could see a little engraving that said B x E Forever. Edward must of done that. I looked up to see where he was. He was kinda high and he was reaching toward something that shined against the sunlight.
He grabbed it, and started back down. He reached the ground with out any injuries and handing me the item he reached. It was a necklace with more charms on it. The charms were: a dark green tree, Forks; a couple hills with flowers, our meadow; a shoe, probably to remind me of Alice and Rosalie; a controller, to remind me of Emmett and Jasper, and a little sparkly heart, Edward gave me his heart.
"I got you these to remind you who your bestest buddies are, and where you belong. I always knew, deep down, that you'd come back one day, but I never knew when. I got you these as gifts for all the birthdays I hadn't seen you. I stopped getting them because it had been 5 years and you weren't back. I took the charms and put them on our tree. To symbolize it as ours." he said, on the verge of tears.
"You never stopped believing did you?" I asked him.
He looked into my eyes. Green met brown. "Never. There was always a bit of hope left in me" he said as he closed the distance between us.
:'] he never stopped believing! aww!
