Hey everyone! I just wanted to thank you for all of the great reviews! They are really what keeps me writing! Please continue to review! Chapter 7 will be more of Edward and Bella…So here it is!
Just another day…with Edward.
I grabbed Edward's cool hand and held it in mine. I had missed him so much the last week I thought that I wouldn't have made it another day without his beautiful loving face. We walked to the living room and I sat on his lap, like we use to do when we were at his house, and watched my mom as she sat down next to me.
"So are you sure you are not going to hurt my baby again? You don't even know how upset she was! You hurt her a lot Edward! I thought you were better than that! Her crying at night drove Phil and I crazy…we didn't know what to do, or how to help her." I know my mom was just trying to protect me but she was yelling at Edward.
"Mom!"
"It's ok Bella, you mother has every right to be mad or upset with me. Renee, what I did to Bella was very immature and to tell the truth, not myself. I haven't been myself lately…I have been having to help my brothers and sisters with difficult things and try to sort out my problems at the same time. I am very truly sorry for what I did to my Bella and I ask you and her to forgive me. I love her and I will never do anything to harm her again. I know what I want in life now, and it is all about your daughter."
My mother just stared at Edward, and looked at me again; she leaned over to me and softly whispered into my ear. "Bella, were in the world did you find this God like boy? He is so perfect, I don't know how anyone could be mad at him, how does he do that." I looked over at Edward and could hear his normal soft chuckle. He had heard everything my mom said even though I had barley heard it.
" I am going to make dinner, Edward would you like to stay for dinner with us?" My mother stood up and started to walk to the kitchen waiting for Edward's answer.
" I would be delighted to stay, Thank you." And before I could ask Edward what the heck he was thinking, he put a finger to my mouth. "Sh, everything will be fine Bella. Go upstairs and get washed up for dinner." Then very quietly Edward spook again. "I love you so much." He kissed my cheek and sat me up so I could attempt to walk upstairs.
"I love you too." I went upstairs as I was told and when I got up to my room I lied on my bed. For some reason tears were flowing down my face. I was so happy to have Edward back that I began to cry!
"Why in the world are you crying? Bella please don't be upset…do you want me to leave?" Edward was now in my room with me and looked very, very confused.
"Edward, no! Don't leave, I am not upset. I am just so happy that you are here with me. Without you Edward, I wasn't Bella. I really am fine, it's ok!" I was now a little embarrassed since I was crying for what seemed like no reason. So my white cheeks flushed to a rosy red.
"You are so funny, don't scare me like that. I thought you where still mad at me." Edward sat down on the bed next to me.
"No, I was never mad. I could never be mad at you. Just confused about why you left me without any explanation. I love you Edward." I raped my arms around him and laid my head on his shoulder.
"And I love you. Now get ready before you mother comes up and changes her mind about me over for dinner." Edward then disappeared into thin air. I changed my clothes into something more suited for dinner, and then ran downstairs to see what my mom and Edward were doing.
When I walked into the kitchen Edward was helping my mom make dinner. They were laughing about something, as I walked over to Edward he picked me up and spun me around.
"Edward, what are you doing!" Suddenly my stomach turned to knots and more than anything I wanted down.
"Go sit at the table, your mother and I will be therein a second." He place me back onto the hard but what seemed like heavenly floor.
"No it's ok I can help. I want to help I haven't done anything since I have been here." My stomach started to come back to normal.
"And that's a good thing! You are always working to hard, now go sit." Edward softly pushed me toward the table and went back to talking to my mom. At least they were having fun.
I sat at the table for no longer than five minutes before Edward came into the dinning room and handed me a plate full of food.
"Wow Edward, this is a lot of food! You know I can't eat all of this."
"Just eat what you can." In Edward's other hand was a smaller plate with a very small amount of food, everything was cut and into smaller bits.
"So Bella, have you talked to Charlie yet?" My mom sat down at the table across from Edward and I.
"I tried a few days ago but he wasn't home." I totally forgot about Charlie now that Edward was here.
"Oh, well I guess I will call him for you later on tonight."
"Thanks…..where's Phil?" I had noticed earlier that he didn't come back from work the same time as he normally did.
"He had to work late tonight, but I think he will be home soon. So Edward, how's everything with our family?"
"Good I guess, it's just been a little crazy for awhile. But everything pretty much is fine."
"That's good. I never got to meet your other brothers and sister, how many are there?" My mom and Edward's relationship had obviously had a turn around.
"There is me, Emmett, Jasper, Rose, and Alice."
"Wow I didn't know that there were that many of you." By then Edward had taken about three bites of the food that he had on his plate. I knew that he would have to caught it all up soon, but I was happy that he would do this for me. It really made my mom happy so it made me happy.
"Yeah, would you mind if I used your phone? My cell phone's battery died."
"Oh no. Not at all." My mom handed Edward the house phone.
"Are you calling your Dad Edward?"
"Yes, I told him I would call him. How did you……never mind." Edward walked into the living and called his Dad.
"Bella, would you help me clear the table please?"
"Sure." I grabbed Edward's and my plate and walked over to the sink where I began to wash the dishes that where used to make dinner. " Thank you for letting Edward stay for dinner Mom, everything was great."
"Good I'm glad. Edward can come over anytime. By the way, when did he get into town? And how did he know where we lived?"
"I left him a letter before I flew down, I think he got into town just this afternoon." I knew that Edward was here this whole time but I didn't think my mom would have taken the news as well as I did.
"He must be tired then. That might be why he has those purple rings under his eyes."
"Bella, could I talk to you for a second?"
"yeah…" I walked into the living room where Edward was standing. " Is everything alright?"
"Yes, everything is fine. Just I need to know how much longer we are staying so I can make some plans."
"Um, I think I should stay a few more days to spend some more time with my Mom and Phil but not to long. What are you planning?" Edward didn't answer me, he just spook back into the phone.
"A few more days….just be patient Alice….I know….you're going to say something!…..fine! Bella, Alice would like to talk to you." Edward handed me the large telephone."
"Hello."
"Bella! I have missed you so much! Is everything alright there? I saw a boy and……"
"Everything is fine Alice, how is it there? Is Charlie alright?"
"Charlie is fine , he's been fishing a lot."
"That's what I thought." I walked away from Edward to try to get Alice to tell me what he was doing without Edward finding out. " What is he planning?" I whispered into the phone.
"Bella I can't tell you…he will kill me. But I will tell you this, you will love it! Shot…Bella he's coming talk about something else!"
"Um……" Edward took away the phone from my ear and placed it back onto his.
"I knew I couldn't trust you! Who do you think I am? You know I could hear you….whatever…goodbye Alice!"
"Is everything alright in here?" My Mom walked into the living room with a pan and towel in her hand.
"Everything is fine, but I think I better be going now. I need to get some rest, I am going to stay at the hotel a few blocks from here."
"Do you need any money Edward?" My Mom but down the pan and reached into her pocket.
"No, I'm fine. Don't worry about it. But I do have a question."
"What is it?" I just stood next to my mother to try to hear the question better because I was sure it was about me.
"Would it be alright is I come early tomorrow morning to pick up Bella?"
"That would be fine but where are you going? And how early is early?" Edward walked over to my mom and handed her a small piece of paper. I stood on my tiptoes to try to read what the paper had said but Edward saw me and covered it before I could read it.
"I will be here at 7:00 in the morning. And whatever you do, don't let this little sneak see what that paper says." My mom turned around and face the other direction so she was facing me and read the letter.
"Aww…Edward that is so sweet! You are such a good guy! I will make sure she is up and ready."
"WHAT DID IT SAY?" I wanted to know what was going on so bad. What was Edward planning to do in the morning? But the better question was, what was he planning on doing when we got there?
"Bella, be good. I will be here in the morning, I love you." Edward walked over to me and gave me a hug and kissed my cheek. " I will see you soon." He winked at me and turned to my mother. I wasn't sure what it meant thought. " You have the most important job here, do not let her know what that said no matter what. Thank you for dinner, it was very good."
"Your welcome, thanks for staying." Edward then started to walk to the front door, but he turned and took the paper from my mom's hand.
"So, she will have no way in knowing. I love you Bella!"
"I love you too" I sighed and let him walk out the door. Once I saw his car start to pull put I ran to my mom. "What did it say?"
"Bella, why don't you just go up to your room and get ready for your big day tomorrow. See you tomorrow, goodnight."
"Goodnight Mom." I walked upstairs not expecting to see Edward since he was probably trying to get noodles out of his stomach. I grabbed my toothbrush and a towel and took a quick shower and brushed my teeth. When I got back into my room Edward was sitting on my bed looking at the pictures of me when I was a baby that I was looking at the first day I was here.
"There you are, how was dinner?"
"It was alright until I just saw it again….don't go into the backyard for awhile."
"OK" I put my toothbrush away and lied down next to him on my bed.
" I like your other bed better, It was a lot softer." I got under the blankets and let Edward put his arms around my body and felt him smelling my wet hair.
"I've missed having you lay next to me at night, it was very hard to fall asleep without you."
"I know. I saw you and heard you. In the middle of the night you would just begin to cry, as if you where having a bad dream. It killed me to have to just watch you because I knew if I would come to close that I wouldn't be able to walk away again."
"I was having dreams Edward, dreams of you never coming back to me. You leaving me and then not being able to find you because you are dead."
"You know that would never happen"
"But I didn't, I needed you so much."
"I'm sorry."
"I know, I just wish I could have been stronger without you."
"What is that suppose to mean?"
"It means that if there was any possible way of you getting hurt or having to leave me I wouldn't be able to live without you for more than a week. I'm pathetic."
"No you are not, don't ever think that. It's my fault for leaving you. Now close your eyes baby, you have a big day ahead of you." The "Big day" I had totally forgot about it!
"That's right! What the heck are you doing? You know I hate surprises! Tell me what you are doing." I turned my body around to try to face him.
"I can't, it's a surprise."
"I promise I won't tell Edward, it will be only our little secret." I started to laugh because I realized how stupid I really sounded.
"You don't even have a clue about how much I have missed you, to finally see the real you again."
"I've missed you too." I then made the same mistake about looking into his dazzling eyes. Then he kissed me, barley touching my warm lips. "Promise me something….Never leave me again.." I said.
"I promise Isabella Swam, that I will never leave the love of my life again."
"I hope that's me..."
"A course that's you now gets some rest." He turned me back onto my side and held me in his arms again."
"I love you..." I began to say but before he could say anything back to me, my eyes fell shut and darkness filled my mind, but I knew what he would have said if I were able to stay awake.
