Eating An Ice-Cream Cone Chapter 2

Bella POV

"Hi Edward" I said shakily "It's Bella"

There was a pause on the other end of the phone. My heart was in my mouth. I had kept this number hidden in my closet for years, not wanting to drag up old, painful memories. My mouth was suddenly dry, and my voice broke when I was talking.

"Edward," I repeated "I need to tell you something. I don't know if you remember, but we- well, what I mean is that after you left-"

I couldn't talk, couldn't speak. I couldn't bring myself to tell him about Nessie, not over the phone.

"Edward, we need to meet, because there's someone you should know about. Where are you? I need to talk to you, face to face."

For the second time that night, I heard his wonderful velvet voice, now calmly composed and business-like.

"I'm actually back in Forks, Bella, I just arrived today."

Those words sent a glimmer of hope through me. Maybe this would be easier than I thought. Edwards voice interrupted my thoughts.

"And you Bella? Where are you living?"

I couldn't tell him that I was living in a dingy flat, not when he was surely living in luxury. I decided to tell him that I moved back to Charlie's house. Edward could usually tell when people were lying to him, but not when I was.

"In the same house as always, I got it when Charlie passed away." I quickly lied. I no longer held back the tears in my voice. This whole conversation was very draining.

Edward comforted me. "Oh Bella, I'm so sorry. Is there anything I can do-?"

"No Edward, you've done enough. Look, I'm very tired and need to sleep. How about you come around tomorrow, around 12pm?"

I was exhausted from crying, and this conversation and wanted nothing more than to crawl to bed and cry myself to sleep. I mentally made plans to move all of our stuff to Charlie's house, thankfully the sale hadn't entirely gone through yet, and the people who bought it weren't moving in until next month. That would give Nessie and I a place to stay for a while. That was, if they didn't take her from me before then.

"Bella, what do you m-?" Edward began, dragging me back into the present.

"Goodnight Edward." I said abruptly "I'll talk to you tomorrow, ok? Bye."

I put the phone down, and then the tears really began.

Edward POV

(this is the same thing, just through Edward's perspective)

I was relaxing in my bedroom, playing a new melody on my guitar, when suddenly I heard my phone ring.

I was shocked by the ringtone, it was Taylor Swift's "Love Story".

I didn't put that ringtone on as my default ringtone. It was set by someone.

A brown haired, chocolate brown- eyed someone.

Someone whom I loved, but had to let go because we were going to different colleges.

Bella.

I picked up the phone and answered "Hello? Edward Cullen", just in case the phone was faulty or something. Or her phone number could have been re-used by the phone company when she got a new number. I wouldn't blame her after what I did to her heart. My heart broke when I heard the sweet voice on the other end of the phone.

"Hi Edward, It's Bella"

I completely froze. I didn't know what on earth to say. Luckily she spoke again, in her angel's voice.

"Edward," She said "I need to tell you something. I don't know if you remember, but we- well, what I mean is that after you left-"

My poor Bella was stumbling over her words. I wanted to put my arm around her, rock her to sleep like I used to in the High School years. Bella interrupted my thoughts.

"Edward, we need to meet, because there's someone you should know about. Where are you? I need to talk to you, face to face."

Someone?

My heart sank, she must have a boyfriend. Or husband.

But I wouldn't blame her for finding someone else after the way that I left her.

I quickly composed myself and remembered what else she had said.

"I'm actually back in Forks, Bella, I just arrived today."

My voice sounded business-like, just like Carlisle's.

I had to know where Bella was, had to find her. I would go to the ends of the earth for my Bella, who probably had a husband.

However, I didn't care. I wanted her in my life somehow, so I would be a friend if that was what she needed. I cared about her too much to lose her again.

"And you Bella? Where are you living?" I asked her.

She paused, then answered, her voice breaking. I could hear her crying.

"In the same house as always, I got it when Charlie passed away."

Charlie died? I didn't know. Why didn't Carlisle or Esme tell me?

Stop blaming them Edward I told myself They obviously didn't want to remind you of Bella. They only want the best for you.

I quickly tried comforting poor Bella.

"Oh Bella, I'm so sorry. Is there anything I can do-?" I began asking, but I was interrupted.

"No Edward, you've done enough. Look, I'm very tired and need to sleep. How about you come around tomorrow, around 12pm?" Bella said harshly, obviously trying to end the conversation before she completely broke down in tears.

"You've done enough"? What did that mean?

"Bella, what do you m-?" I began.

"Goodnight Edward." She said abruptly "I'll talk to you tomorrow, ok? Bye."

I allowed her to go cry in peace, if that was what my love wanted. She had already hung up the phone, but I still whispered goodnight to her.

The rest of the melody I was writing came to me. I was going to write this song for Bella.

It was my dream version of her, what I wish she would say to me every day.

"I wanna fall asleep

Safe in your arms

Holding me tight, say you love me

And I wanna fall so deep

I wanna dream

Dreams where you hold me and love me"

This would be a brilliant song that nobody would ever hear. The notes of this melody would never caress anybody's ears but mine.

Unless Bella wanted me.

If only.
