Chapter Five- The Visitor
I turned around, holding my breath. "Jake?" I whispered. "Jake!!" I gave him a great big hug. Wait why was I hugging him, he left. "Why are you here?"
"I needed to come check something." He told me staring at me very carefully.
"Oh, check what Jake?" I was curious now.
"Something…"
That's when it hit me! He must be checking to see if I was still human. "Oh" I whispered.
"Well that's all I needed to know, Seeya Bells."
"What, but Jake.."
"Remember Bella…You chose the bloodsucker not me, you cant have both."
"I know, but-"
"No buts." He sounded angry now. " Bye Bella for good, now."
I started to cry a little.
"Oh Bella….You'll forget about me soon anyways."
Will I??? "Bye Jake," I tried to say, but I couldn't so I mouthed it.
He was gone, for good. I wanted to cry but I couldn't.
"Bella?" Charlie was watching the baseball game in the living room.
"Yes, dad."
"Who was that outside?"
"No one," I lied. "I'm tired dad, I'm going to bed."
"Ok bells, goodnight."
"Night, dad." I started walking up the stairs when I realized I forgot to ask. I quickly ran back down the stairs to go ask. " Oh dad, the Cullen's are going camping tomorrow for one night, can I go with them?"
Charlie hesitated. "Uhh…Sure, Bella."
"Thanks Dad! I smiled at him gently. "Night"
"Night"
I walked up the stair's and down the hall to my bedroom. Of course he was there, he was sitting on my bed like a statue even when I sat down beside him he didn't move.
"That was rude." Edward muttered to himself. "Why would he just come back all of a sudden, after 3 days?"
"What?" I knew what he was talking about, but I wanted him to talk to me about it.
"Jacob Black," He plugged his nose. "Ugh love, I'm sorry but you smell like dog!"
"I'm sorry." I had an idea. " I bought some perfume the other day, maybe that will make the smell go away." I stood up and wandered over to my dresser, opened the bottle and sprayed myself.
Edward was at my side now. "You smell like beautiful flowers, mmmmmm."
" Thanks," I yawned.
"Bella I think you need rest." He insisted.
"Fine," Edward picked me up and carried me in his arms, he laid on the bed and let me fall asleep humming my lullaby.
Bye Bella, for good…Now!! You'll forget about me soon anyways. Bye Jake, forever. His voice haunted me all night, in my dreams.
"Emmet get the tents and put them in my car," Edward ordered Emmet.
"Sure," He walked away Chuckling.
"So are you ready to go camping," Alice cheerfully asked me.
"Yeah," I tried sounding enthusiastic.
"It will be ok Bella," Edward wanted me to have fun.
"I know," He knew I didn't like the outdoors, very much.
Emmet put the tents in the trunk of Edwards Volvo. "Come on people lets get a move on it."
Edward pushed me towards the car. I knew I would have fun, I was being an idiot worrying. For once Emmet was driving Edwards car, Edward was beside me in the back. Rose and Emmet in the front. Alice went with Jasper, Carlisle and Esme.
"So where are we going?" I asked. No one had told me yet.
"Somewhere we've been camping before." Edward replied, I knew he meant us.
" Where we were during the fight?" I thought that's what he meant.
"No…"
"Oh then where?" I was really curious now.
He leaned closer to me. "Our meadow." He whispered in my ear.
"Oh," I thought it was our meadow. "Do they know that its our meadow?"
He knew what I meant. "No," He chuckled softly, "And lets keep it that way."
I giggled. "Ok,"
We were at the end now. Edward reached over me and opened the door, I got out and tripped. Edward caught me before I hit the ground. "Thanks," I murmured.
Alice came running towards us. "So we have 4 tents."
"Four why do we need four?" I asked.
"One for every couple!" She said too joyfully.
"Oh….ok,"
"Well lets set them up," Edward dragged me over to the pile of tent. "Pick the one you want."
I looked at them all, they were all different. One said built in heating, it was smaller but I want to be warm. "This one." Proud of my answer.
"I thought you would pick this one." He chuckled.
"mmmmmm" He probably wanted me to pick this one. "So lets set it up?"
"Lets," He held my hand gently. "Where do you want it?"
"Away from the others," I smiled at him.
"That sounds great, but remember my part of the deal comes after were married." He chuckled again, he seemed to be in a good mood today.
"Oh, I know, I don't want to tonight anyways." I was proud of myself to say that lie.
"Oh but Bella, please can we please, Please." He was mocking me now, his eyes were closed but he had a great bug smile on his face.
"Very mature Edward."
I looked around Alice and Jasper were setting there tent up at human speed. Carlisle and Esme were already done. Rosalie and Emmet were sitting on the grass, talking about something.
When I looked back Edward was gone and the tent was setup. "Edward," He better not of left.
"In here he yelled from the tent," He shouted.
I went inside the tent he was sitting on my sleeping bag.
"Its already warm in here," He announced.
"I cant tell," It was getting cold and dark outside now.
"Edward; Bella, Come outside." Alice was calling us.
"Come on." Edward picked me up. I sighed.
They had all made a big campfire in the middle of the meadow.
