Chapter 7

Bella's Point Of View

One Week Later

Okay, so, Edward and the rest of the Cullens are all still here. Edward continues to flirt with Holly but he still keeps pestering me to take him back.

I thought he'd give up after the seventieth no. But…he didn't.

Currently Nate is in London for a shoot and so is Holly. So I'm stuck with Edward for three days, all alone. Yay me! I thought sarcastically.

The girls are with Cody, my brother. I've known Cody since I was twenty five. He was my first… if you catch my drift.

He's now my brother, Nate's best friend, and Shadow and Emilee's Godfather. He's married to Stassi, my assistant and my other best friend.

So he has the girls, Nate and Holly are gone, and I have no shoots for the rest of the week.

So here I sit, at the grand piano in my living room, trying to think of a song to play. I was almost tempted to get out my guitar instead. Oh! Did I mention that I play piano and guitar now?

I was thinking about Edward (for some unconceivable reason) and a song suddenly came to mind.

I played the notes to the song as I thought the words in my head. I got the song perfect and decided to sing aloud.

"There's a lot that I don't know.

There's a lot that I'm still learning.

When I think I'm letting go,

I find my body it's still burning

And you hold me down

And you got me living in the past

Come on and pick me up

Somebody clear the wreckage from the blast

I'm alive

And I don't need a witness

You know that I survived

I'm not looking for forgiveness

Yeah I just need light

I need a light in the dark as I search for the Resolution

And the bars are finally closed

So I try living in the moment

Till the moment it just froze

And I felt sick and so alone

I could hear the sound

Of your voice still ringing in my ear

I'm going underground

But you'll find me anywhere I fear

I'm alive

And I don't need a witness

You know that I survived

I'm not looking for forgiveness

Yeah I just need light

I need a light in the dark as I search for the Resolution

Resolution

And you hold me down

Yeah, you hold me down

I'm alive

And I don't need a witness

To know that I survived

I'm not looking for forgiveness

I'm alive

And I don't need a witness

To know that I survived

I'm not looking for forgiveness

Yeah I just need light

I need a light in the dark as I search for the Resolution

I need a light in the dark as I search for the Resolution"

I finished the song and closed my eyes.

"Wow." I heard from behind me.

I spun around on the piano bench to see Edward standing there with a smile on his face.

"That was amazing." He said, "I didn't know you played piano."

"What are you doing here?" I demanded.

"I came over to talk to you. I knocked and you didn't answer and I heard the piano and you singing so I came in because the door was unlocked."

"Get out." I growled.

"Bella, I just want to talk."

"About…?"

"Us." He said simply.

"There is no 'us' anymore, Edward."

"But there could be! Don't you see, Bella? We're perfect for each other!" he exclaimed, taking my hand.

"No. We were once, but not anymore." I said, taking my hand back.

"Bella, why? Why won't you take me back?"

"Because, Edward. I have a family, now. I have my daughters and my husband and I can't hurt them." I stated the obvious, "And also because you hurt me, Edward. You can't hurt me like that and just expect me to let you back into my heart." I said, "And last, because you don't know me, Edward."

"What? Yes, I do! You're Bella, the beautiful, smart, amazing, woman I fell in love with."

I shook my head, a wry smile on my lips, "No, I'm not. I'm not the same girl you fell in love with one hundred years ago. The complete opposite. "

"Impossible." He said, "I've been here for a week and I can see that you haven't changed."

"Edward, I'm different. I'm not 'Bella' anymore. Bella died along with my humanity."

"Don't pull that shit on me, Bella. If you've changed so much, tell me what's different." Edward said with a smug smile on his lips like I couldn't answer the question.

"I smoke, I drink, I'm a bit of bitch and a diva, I put my own needs above others, I could give a shit about other people except for Nate, Shadow, Emilee, Holly, Cody, and Stassi."

"I'm sure you're not a bitch." He said.

"No, no. I am. What I said when you first got here, about not many people wanting to be around me, was true. There's a reason that Holly is the only one at the agency who will model with me besides Nate. Cody would, but Nate does all my couple shoots with me." It's all true.

" Bella-" he started.

"I'm not shy anymore, I'm not selfless, and I'm not sweet. I'm not who I used to be. I probably would be if you hadn't left."

"What do you mean?" he asked, puzzled.

"After you left I was a zombie. Then I started snapping at people when they asked me questions and why it was such a big deal that you left. I hated everyone. None of them cared about you all leaving, none of them knew how much I loved you. They all thought I was being irrational because it was just a high school boyfriend. They all turned me into what I am today. If they'd just left me alone like I wanted, let me live in misery, maybe I'd still be the shy, innocent, caring girl I was back then. But they wouldn't. They kept bothering me so here I am, bitter, bitchy Bella."

Edward shook his head, "You're not bitter and you're not a bitch."

I rolled my eyes.

"Let's catch up." He said suddenly.

I sighed and went to the couch. Edward followed and sat next to me.

"So what have you been up to over the last one hundred years?" I asked.

He sighed, "Nothing."

"I'm sure you did something."

"I hunted. Does that count?"

"You didn't do anything?"

"Nope."

"Why not?" I asked.

He sighed heavily, "Bella, when we got that phone call about you being dead, I went catatonic. I only left my room to hunt and wouldn't talk to anyone."

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"Bella, I was getting ready to go beg you to take me back. As I was about to leave, Alice comes up and tells me you're dead. I was devastated. Everyone else was, too." He said, "We haven't been much of a family since the day I left you." He admitted.

I looked down, upset because I broke apart one of the strongest families I know.

"I'm sorry." I whispered.

Edward took my hand, "It's not your fault."

"Yes, it is. I just... I didn't know." I whimpered.

He hugged me close, "Stop. It's not your fault. Its mine." He said.

I pulled away. Some part of me wanted to stay there in his arms and never move. That was the small, irrational, still-a-love sick-seventeen-year-old part. The part that didn't even consider the fact that I was a wife and a mother now.

I sighed. These next two weeks may be harder than I thought.
