Chapter 3-Decision
Okay, so there was no way that this was a coincidence. I mean what were the chances that there was another Carlisle Cullen in this world with a wife named Esme. What were the chances that, that same Carlisle had two "foster" children named Rosalie and Jasper Hale and three "adopted" children named Emmett, Alice and Edward?
Edward! The very thought of him made the hole inside of me ache with a sudden burst of pain. However, there was a part of me that was telling me that I had once again found my beloved Cullens. That same part was screaming at me to get into my truck right now and go to New York. Just because he didn't want me anymore, didn't mean that the others didn't want to see me and I them.
I went back to the home page of Cornell's website and noticed that visitor's week was next week. That very fact made up my mind. The more rebellious side of me had taken over. It was Wednesday, if I left now I could be in New York by Monday.
I jumped up from my desk. I grabbed my duffel bag from my closet. I packed my stuff in a hurry. I grabbed my checkbook on the way out of the door. I would defiantly need that. I had enough money saved up for this trip from my part-time job at Newton's. I got in the truck and drove to the police station. I was not about to drive all the way to New York without telling Charlie first.
I walked into the police station and saw Charlie playing cards with one of the other policemen. When he saw me his face became worried.
"Bella, What are you doing here? What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong Dad, but I was just on Cornell's website and I noticed that it was visitors week next week, so I decided that I should go. I need to go. You know to check out the school to see if I like it. Maybe even turn in my application in person. I just thought it would be a good idea to tell you before I went, so you wouldn't freak out when you came home and I was gone."
Charlie was speechless. When he finally found his voice all he could manage was …
"Okay Bells, be careful and call me when you stop. Love you! Bye"
"Love you too, Dad. Bye."
I Ran back to my truck and fell of course. Once I got in and settled I set off to New York, to the Cullens.
As I drove I let my mind wonder. It chose to wonder to Edward, of course. For some odd reason, it didn't hurt to think about him. Maybe it was the fact that I may possibly be seeing him in a few days. No! I couldn't hope for that! Anyway, he was probably still chasing his distractions.
It was an unusually sunny day in Washington. It reminded me of the first time Edward and I went to the meadow, our meadow. The way his skin sparkled had mesmerized me. He was so beautiful. It was such a happier time then. However, the very next day, I had to leave Forks to escape the sadistic, murderous tracker named James that was stalking me.
Instinctively, I glanced down at the crescent shaped scar on my hand. It was the last physical proof that I had of Edward's existence. I loved the way it glittered in the sun, just like him.
A/N: I am sooooo sorry that it took so long for me to update, but with school and the constant string of homework that my teachers inflict on me I haven't have enough time to write. I hope you like this chapter. The next chapter is in Alice's POV!
