IITS ch52
One Month Later
BPOV
Something had been off with Edward for the past couple of weeks, but we continued to talk and text as we had been.
I had been to see my counselor twice a week for the past three weeks and I truly felt like I had made a lot of progress. Kendall had grown like a weed over the past month and she continued to asked for her 'Eddard'...it broke my heart everytime I had to tell her that he wasn't here.
Angela had told me of a job opening in the school administrative office and I had an interview scheduled for Friday morning.
Good Morning, my beautiful Bella. How are my girls today? - E
I couldn't help the smile that came from the little beep on my phone when his text came in.
Missing our man but otherwise we're good. How is your morning? - B
I watched out the kitchen window as two birds played in the birdbath in the backyard while I stood over the sink washing dishes. One of them would peck the other and then flutter around in the water as the other one tried to move away from the splashes. They sure had a simple life, didn't they? I thought to myself as my phone beeped again.
I sighed and dried off my hands to pick up my phone.
I miss your beautiful face...fuck Bella, I miss everything about you. - E
I felt the tears well up in my eyes and read it a few times before I decided what to type back.
Hopefully we can see each other soon because I miss everything about you, too. I love you, Edward. - B
I had broken our rule. We had decided not to continue saying that to one another after I moved, but I couldn't help it. I loved him dammit and I know that he loved me, too. And, in that moment he needed to hear it.
You always know exactly what to say. I hope it is soon because I love you, too. - E
I let the tears slip through as Kendall toddled into the room, "Momma, Eddard? Want Eddard." She looked up at me with her stuffed Elmo firmly in her grips and I couldn't stop the sob that tore through me as I slid to the floor and held my arms open to her.
She snuggled up against me and patted my face as the tears fell. We'd made a mistake leaving Edward behind. I know that now...but I truly loved being here in Forks, I finally felt like I had my feet back under me.
But, why couldn't Edward be here, too?
A/n: What IS going on with Edward? And, WHY can't he be there, too? Hmmmm (taps chin...)
See ya soon (runs away quickly)
