Chapter 1: Plane Ride
Edward's POV
Another depressing day of high school at Forks High. Nothing new really ever happend. Rosalie and Jasper came back, so Alice and Emmett were happy.
I've been keeping track of time. For the past week now, all I've been doing is staying at the corner of the street. Waiting. Hoping.
The news cast has been following me around, and Carlisle and Esme were actually thinking about hiring my own person body guard.
They were good parents. 12:34. About 2 hours and 30 minutes I can get on with my life. I sound depressing, don't I? Well, it turns out that I really am.
I would always wake up, all happy and jumpy, just to run down the street, and climb up Bella's tree that was close to the window, and just wait until she came and opened it.
We would always talk about what was on our minds. It didn't matter. We could share any secrets we wanted.
I haven't been talking to anyone. I would only talk occasionly if the teacher called on me, but I would answer the question in less that 3 words.
"Hey, Eddie!" Jessica said, chasing me down the hallway. 1:20. I didn't say anything. Just nodded my head.
"I love your outfit!" She said. What was she talking about? I've been wearing only black jeans and a black hoodie for the last 2 years. I didn't care of what people thought of me.
"What's the matter Edward?" She asked all of a sudden, sounding like she really cared. I stopped walking, turned to face her.
"2 years ago. My best friend was taken away from me. How does that make you feel, if you were in love with that person, and then it looks like she just vanished of the face of the Earth. How do you think that makes me feel?" I think that was the longest I've talked to anyone except for my family.
Her face was blank when I walked away from her, and I walked into my next class. I don't even remember what class was about.
I must have had bags under my eyes. I haven't slept in a long time. I don't even remember what my last dream was about it was so long ago.
I only ate on the occasional days that Esme made dinner and we had to eat as a family. But still then did I only take a less portion that Alice did.
Did anyone else ever know the feeling? Of losing the one they loved? All of these thoughts came flowing through me as I was in one of the guest rooms, slumped down against the white wall.
"Maybe we should take him to therapy." I heard my adoptive father say. They've been thinking of that thought for awhile though.
"No!" Esme said, probably putting an arm on Carlisle's shoulder. "What if, he doesn't like it there, and decides to run off? Carlisle, I don't think I could handle that. He's the youngest one, I can't lose him."
I didn't like it when I put my family in pain. I just didn't know how to act up on this. I sighed, running my hand through my hair.
I looked at the digital clock near the shelf. 3:56. Almost 4. I put my head down on my knees, just trying to get this day over with. I didn't even know what day it was.
I heard someone come next to me and sit down. Who ever it was, they wrapped there arms around me. Alice. She sighed, and layed her head down on my shoulder.
"How do you feel about her leaving?" I asked suddenly, looking up at her. Her eyes looked glassy, and it looked like she was going to crack any minute now. 4:12.
"In the beginning, I just kept hoping, that maybe she would call us or something. But she never did. I saw what you were doing on the computer, so I copied you. I tried finding her, searching her name and Charlie's name. I even tried Renee's name."
"And how did that go?" I asked her, completely forgetting to look up those names.
"Apparently, Charlie and Renee had a divorce. Now Renee is married to some Phil guy, and Charlie has been dating some other girl that we don't know about."
So, how was Bella reacting to this? I thought, but knew she wouldn't be able to answer it. When she started crying, I pulled her into a hug, then noticed that someone was in the doorway. I kind of smiled when Jasper walked in and picked Alice up off the floor.
He walked out of the room with her in his arms. He really was a good guy.
"Hey Edward." Emmett said, and leaned against the doorframe. Then I got hit with a thought.
"Jacksonville." For over 2 years now I never thought about that name!? I'm such an idiot! I jumped up, shocking Emmett.
"What?" He said, giving me a confused look as to what I was doing throwing my clothes out everywhere and searching for a bag.
"Jacksonville, Florida!" I said, louder this time, now running into the bathroom to grab things. Esme. I stopped dead in my tracks. What would she think about me leaving for about a week?
Well if I was coming back, then I guess it wouldn't be a problem now, would it? I ran out of the room, almost tripping half the steps. When I got down there, (jumping about 12 of them,) Esme and Carlisle were watching me with a shocked expression.
"I, uh." I started saying, but when I looked at Esme, I couldn't do this.
"Edward wanted your permission for all three of us, to go on a little trip." Emmett said, carrying a very hyper Alice on his back. I guess Jasper had to go home.
"Please! Well be careful, we promise! And school is only for 2 days and then it's Christmas vacation! Please!" Alice said, jumping off of Emmett's back and jumping ontop of mine.
"Please?" I asked again, holding her up with no difficulty.
They looked at eachother, then turned towards us. "Uh, I guess so. Just, be careful." Carlisle said, smiling a little bit.
"Where will you be going?" Esme asked thoughtfully, grabbing something out of her purse.
"Jacksonville. Florida." She stopped for a sec. "That's a long plane ride, kids." She said, but let it slide, knowing that we were all coming back.
"When will you guys be leaving?" Carlisle asked, already bringing the luggages out to the car. "Now!" Alice shouted, running out of the room with her phone next to her ear, and holding her purse in the other.
I, actually looked like Carlisle and Esme wanted us to leave. Not in a 'I hate you' way but in a 'you guys need a little vacation' way.
"HEY!" Alice shrieked from the backseat of Emmett's jeep. "Rosalie and Jasper are coming with us!" Well. I guess this was going to be a long vacation then.
And I was determined, to find Isabella Swan.
I really just wanted to get this story out, because I can do so much with this story. So, I think I'm going to post the next chapter of this one later. I hope you guys like this, and if you review, then I'll post a lot of chapters faster.
