CHAPTER 13
ABIGAIL'S POINT OF VIEW
Anthony walked out of the room to talk to his father, Bella was looking in the cabinets for some more ingredients for the soup.
"Can I help with anything?"
"Can you start boiling the water?"
"Sure."
I went over to the stove and put a pot of water on it. I turned to Bella and said, "Thank you for letting me live here."
She smiled and turned to me, "You're part of the family now." She paused and then said, "I'm really happy that Anthony has found you. I think that it always got to him that he was the youngest in the house, and he was the only single one."
I smiled, "I'm just lucky to have him. I don't know how I would get through this without him." I would be all alone without him.
I felt a tear slip down from my eyes. I looked up to Bella and wiped off the tear, "Sorry, I'm really honestly not usually like this."
I felt two cold, hard arms wrap around my shoulders, "It's okay. It's a sad topic, I understand."
"Have you ever lost someone?"
I looked at Bella and she nodded her head, "My mom died a few years ago."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. How did you handle it?"
The look in her eyes saddened, "It was hard, I'm not going to lie to you. It was really hard. But I had Edward, so it didn't seem so bad." she paused, "That's one thing that you have to handle when choosing this life, you people you care about die around you, while you keep going on."
I looked down, "You heard our conversation didn't you?"
She nodded her head, "I think that you need to think about this before making any decisions. I mean, Edward and I went through a lot before I was changed. You two have only been together for a few months, not even."
"I know, I'm not rushing into anything, it was just more for the future you know? I want to learn more about this life first. I mean, I know that it's going to be hard, but I'm willing to go through with it."
She smiled, "I can't wait until you're my daughter."
I looked up to her, "I've been thinking about that…would Anthony really think about…marriage?"
"He's never really talked about it to me. Edward's more the one who's into the whole marriage deal. But I know that Anthony loves you, and I trust that you love him back just as much."
I couldn't help it. More and more tears fell from my face, "Thank you so much for having Anthony, I-I don't know what I would do without him."
Her arms wrapped completely around my shoulders and I cried into her shoulders.
ANTHONY'S POINT OF VIEW
I ran at vampire speed to two of the most important women in my life. But only one of them was crying. I immediately felt penitent for leaving my Abigail behind. I should never have done that. It has only been two days!
I went over to my mom and Abigail, "Abigail, honey, what's wrong?"
I turned to my mom, "What happened? Did you say something?" If she did something to make Abigail start crying again…
Abigail turned around and fell into my chest. My mom unwrapped her arms from around her shoulders. "Abigail? What's wrong?"
"You're mom is awesome."
I smiled and looked at my mom, "That, I know. But why are you crying?"
"It's just that I…"
Mom headed to her room and said that she would give us some privacy.
"It's okay, you can tell me."
I picked her up and walked over to the couch. I sat down with my arms wrapped around Abigail.
"I just don't really remember my mother."
I leaned down and kissed her on the lips. I didn't know what to say. I couldn't do anything to make that better. I couldn't bring her mother back to life, or her aunt. I could taste the salty tears in her kiss.
She pulled away from the kiss and her head fell into the crook of my neck right below my jaw. I kissed the top of her head and gently rocked her. "Everything is going to be okay. I promise, I'm here for you and I'm not going anywhere. I promise."
"I love you Anthony."
"I love you too Abigail."
The next few days went similar to that. We didn't go to school the entire week, but I'm sure that the teachers all would understand. Abigail was handling everything really well. She didn't like it if I left her side for more than 10 minutes at the most. She wouldn't let me be too far away from her, meaning that I couldn't leave the house.
My parents took care of her aunt's will. Abigail got everything. She got the house, and all the money. My parents already started working on selling the house. They didn't really do anything with the money, just talked to some people. I thanked my dad through my thoughts. I didn't know how well Abigail would have handled being able to do that.
It was now Saturday, and Abigail was doing a lot better. She wanted to go back to school on Monday, and she was ready. We went to her house and got all of her belongings together. It was hard for her, she couldn't go anywhere near her aunt's room. She didn't have all that much stuff so the transition wasn't that hard. I looked at the red color on her walls, and I think that we would have to repaint my room to match her hair…
So here we were, putting her stuff in my room and arranging everything around to make it more comfortable for her. My mom was a little sad, I could tell. I mean it was almost as if we were moving in together. But Abigail was smiling a lot more, and that made my heart soar.
She was in my- sorry, our closet. She was putting her clothes in different places. Alice insisted on my having one of the biggest closets that I have ever seen, so there was more than enough room for her clothes.
I was putting some of her books on my book shelve when I heard laughing coming from the closet. Curious, I put the box of books down and walked over to the closet. I opened the door and found Abigail sitting on the floor with a book in her hands.
I walked over and sat down next to her to find that the book in her hands was a photo album. It was a photo album of the first few years of my life, up to when I stopped growing. There were about ten albums in total. And they were all sitting right next to Abigail.
I looked around the closet, all of her clothes were already put away. On the top shelf I kept the photo albums, I figured that nobody would see them up there. I guess I was wrong…
I sat down next to her and heaved a big sigh, "I can't believe that you found these."
She turned her head at me and smiled, "You were so cute as a child!"
I put my hand to my heart, "Am I not cute now?"
She leaned over and kissed me on the lips, "Of course you are cute now. I was just saying that you were extra cute as a child."
"Well, thanks, but do you seriously need to look at all of these photos? Some of them are kind of embarrassing."
"Yes, I do need to look at all of them. I'm your girlfriend, I have a right to these photos."
I heard a noise coming from the door of my closet, I turned my head and my mom was standing with more photo albums in her arms, "Mom, what are those?"
She smiled, "You don't have all of the photos. I figured that Abigail would want to see them."
Abigail nodded her head then motioned for my mom to sit next to her. My mother obliged and sat next to Abigail.
Then Abigail said, "I want to know the stories behind each one of these pictures."
I buried my head further into my hands, "We are burning these photos later."
"No, we're not." I could feel my mom's gaze on me.
Then I felt shaking next to me, "This picture is adorable!"
I looked over, it was me dressed up as a pumpkin for Halloween, "Do we really need to look at these?"
"Anthony, you are so cute in these pictures."
I finally looked up from my hiding spot and looked up to Abigail. She was smiling.
She was smiling.
And laughing, and well technically I was causing it. She was happy. Her eyes were no longer saddened, they were happy. She was happy. I guess my embarrassment wasn't as important as her happiness. I smiled back at her and we spent the rest of the day looking through old photos of me and the rest of my family.
She was happy, truly and honestly happy, which made me happier then I would ever expect to be. And her and my mother got along, they got along really well. And I was happy for that, I was happy to see my Abigail smiling again, and for my mother not to be upset about me growing up.
We were sitting in pure bliss but then Alice and my dad walked into the room. They both looked extremely worried, "Dad, what's wrong?"
Then Alice spoke up, "The Volturi, they're looking for you."
I felt all eyes on me, except for mine, which were on Abigail.
Another Cliffe! I'm really sorry, I know that cliffies are unfair and annoying, and I apologize for that. I really do. But I hope that you all liked this chapter! I would like 116 reviews by the end of this chapter, please? It would help me update a lot faster, I tend to forget to update sometimes.
