It's the weekend and Edward has been gone for about two weeks and I really miss him. I asked where he is but no one will tell me and I don't know why he left. Mommy and Daddy said I could go to La Push today so today I was wearing a yellow one piece bathing suit with a yellow romper and yellow flip-flops currently I am waiting for J to come pick me up because they are going for a hike over the weekend with Auntie Alice and Uncle Jasper. I am pacing around the front door my right arm is heavy with the cast and it a protector on it for when I go swimming. I hear his car and I watch through the window as he gets out and comes to the door. He knocks on the door and I try to open it but can't reach that high. I keep hopping trying to reach the door when it opens all the sudden. I look up and see Poppop had opened it. "Hello Jacob. Dorothy are you ready to go? Do you have everything?" I nod my head and reach up for a hug before going. I give him a kiss on the cheek before getting put back down and race out the door ahead of J. I giggle as he swoops me up and carries me to the car. He buckles me in and we spend the car ride laughing. We stop at a gas station and I get out with J because he wanted us to go in and get a water. When we go in a man comes over and gives J a hug.
"Hey Charlie how are you?" He looks very sad for some reason.
"You know best as I can without the girls." He sees me and smiles. "Hi you know you look like what my youngest daughter looked like when she was about your age." I noticed J got very tense when he said that I shrug it off. "Is she the new Cullen everyone has been talking about?"
"She is Esme's niece. Well we better get going see you later Charlie." He hurries us out and we get back in the car. We soon get to La Push and this time I am good and wait for him to let me out of the car. He pick me up and I rest my head on his shoulder as he walks down to the beach. I see all the guys are already there some girls. As I go around giving hugs I get introduced to them. All of them seem really nice. I take off the cover up and play in the water and sand.
I ran over to Seth and hit his arm as I yelled "YOUR IT!" I ran away from him and toward the water giggling at the confused look on his face. I keep running in the water and look back and don't see him there anymore or behind me at all.
I run into something and before I can look up I am picked up with whoever it is holding my sides making me laugh uncontrollable and being twisted and turned all around. "Got ya kitten." I am turned right and see Seth. I pout at the nickname and stick my tongue out at Seth. He put me down and ran away as I cased after him when my arm threw me off balance and fell into the water. It pulled me farther in the deeper and I couldn't get above. Wow I just have the worst luck don't I? I feel a big hands under my arms lift me up out of the water. I cough up water with my face down and rub at my eyes that burn. "Are you okay kitten? I didn't think that you were going to fall."
I look up to see Seth with a very concerned look on his face. "It's okay Sethie I'm fine but I am hungry now can we eat now?"
He chuckles when I ask and carries me out of the water over to the towels and grabs on and wraps me in it. We walk over to the food and he gives me a plate with a small serving of foods and my mouth waters as I wait for him to get water for us and to walk over to sit down to eat. As soon as we sit down I eat my heart out and am finished in about 3 minutes. I grab the water and drink about half then put it down. I set it down and lay down exhausted. I look up at Seth and see him staring at me in disbelief. I give him a questioning look and he shakes his head. "I didn't think you could eat that fast."
I shrug sleepy and yawn. "I said I was hungry. And now I am tired." I curl up into a ball and feel myself drifting off to sleep.
-A week later-
I wake up in my bed and I look around and shrug. It's been a week since I went to the beach and I've been to La Push about every day I got my cast off yesterday. I have gotten closer to everyone and it's been great. I get out of bed and see I am wearing some pj's that are really baggy a navy blue sweatshirt with a red heart and plaid shorts. I really miss Edward I had a dream about him at least I think it was him but he was younger and he was with a girl that looked like me. It looked like it was an older time and they were at a park walking around. I woke up wondering where he was and I kept thinking about him every day it just feels weird not having him around. I walk downstairs and go to the kitchen and grab an apple. I see Esme looking at me she looks sad just like everyone else has been looking at me lately. "How are you feeling Sweetheart?" I just shrug my shoulders and mutter a fine. In reality I feel like I don't belong this way something inside me just isn't right. I sigh and finish my apple and throw it away.
I jump down throw it away and walk into the living room and sit on one of the couches. I stare blankly ahead I don't want to move. I hear someone open the front door and stay just sitting there as I hear them getting closer and closer. Then I hear him. "Dori?"
My eyes go wide when I hear him and my head snaps to his direction and there he is "Edward..." I jump off the couch and run over to him. He picks me up and I clutch him as close as I can hoping to never lose him again. "Don't leave me...Please don't leave me again..." I trail off as tears flow down my face. Then I gasp as memories hit me like a wave.
I am older and I see Edward with me he looks about a year or two younger. I see I am in a marron peter pan dress with simple black flats and a messenger bag and I look to see he looks dashing (?) when have I ever thought of the word dashing? We are walking and he is holding my hand. It feels nice it's like we belong together like a perfect match. We continue until we get to a door. "I've had a really nice day today you are my life Dori." I feel myself blush as I stare into his eyes his beautiful green eyes. "I love you Dori."
I smile up at him. "I love you too Ed." He looks around I don't know why. He puts his hands on my face and strokes my cheek with his thumb. He then leans down and ever so softly places his lips on mine. I gasp and then we both smile. He places his forehead on mine when his lips leave mine. I know he is going to leave to go home but I don't want him to. As I stare into his eyes I say "Don't leave me...Please don't leave me..."
We stare into each other's eyes and he replies to me with a soft "Never"
I blink as I come back to present and look at him amazed. "Ed?" He looks at me surprised and I feel something inside of me as if it had been waiting for this to happen. I remember our life I remember everything. "Ed I'm so sorry I didn't mean to get so mad at you." He looked so happy that I couldn't help but feel happy too. I know how to go back to normal now. I know how to return to my rightful self. "Ed you should put me down." He is still staring at me. And reluctantly puts me down and I sit down on the ground. I think about what I looked like before and I feel myself changing back to myself. Back into who I am supposed to be. I look up at Edward when it's done and we smile. I get up and put my arms behind his head and he puts his hands on my face stroking my cheek with his thumb. "I love you Ed"
He puts his forehead on mine. "I love you with my whole heart Dori" He softly brushes his lips to mine kissing me like he did when we were so much younger. He wraps his arms around my waist pulling me into a hug as I put mine around his chest and my head lays on his chest as his is in my hair. I snuggle into his chest. I hear him say so softly I know he had gotten to see to memory. "Never"
