A/N: Oh my god! I am terribly sorry for not updating for almost a year, but there had just been so much going on! But I will try to get a lot more up before the end of my winter break.
Chapter 5
Edward's P.O.V.
Impossible, utterly impossible. This cannot be Eloise Kay, the Eloise Kay I was madly in love with. It just isn't possible. The Eloise Kay I knew and loved died of the Spanish Influenza days before I was changed. Carlisle told me so, and if Carlisle told me it must be true. Mustn't it? I had to leave school now, I couldn't bear to leave my precious Bella but I needed to think.
I was walking to the Volvo when my cell phone rang.
"Edward, why are you leaving?" Alice asked me from the other end.
"Alice, what does it matter?" I asked as I got into the car.
"You never just leave school when Bella is still here, without reason", she was right. What do I say to that?
"Alice, don't worry about it. I'm just feeling hungry and Bella smells a little more appetizing than usual today okay?" I had to say something to get her off of my back.
"Edward, you just went hunting two days ago. And I thought her scent didn't bother you anymore?" She was relentless.
"Alice just please, leave me alone!"
"Okay, whatever I'll figure out what your problem is Edward Cullen, sooner or later I'll find out." She said before hanging up. I hated when she went all "Nancy Drew" on me, but at least I got rid of her.
After I hung up with Alice I didn't know what to do. I couldn't go home because Esme would know something was up and I can't just drive around all day. Then it hit me, I'll go to the meadow. There is peace and quiet there.
It only took me 5 minutes to get to the meadow, record time.
Okay Edward, think.
If this Eloise is the Eloise then what do I do? She was the love of my life, but I have a new love of my life now. Bella is the reason to my existence. But Eloise made me stay alive as long as I did when I was mortal; I fought to stay alive for her. I promised Bella I would never leave her ever again. I can't do what I did to her again, I love her too much. Just thinking about Bella makes me smile and the thought of me being without her crushes me inside.
How could Eloise even be my former love? She died! I saw them take her out of my room, toward the morgue. Now that I think about it, it is one of my freshest human memories. She died, then a few days later my mother died, and then Carlisle changed me. It isn't possible that Eloise was changed because Carlisle would have been the one to change her and if he did she would be living with us. She would have been the love of my life and I never would have had to enter Bella into this terrible world. But then I would have been without Bella, my Bella.
Why am I even debating this? Bella is my love, my life, my everything. Why am I even thinking about this? Eloise is the past and she may not even be the Eloise, I'm sure there are more Eloise Kay's out there in the world. This is ridiculous. I have to get back to get back to school, I have class with Bella soon and I don't want to worry her. Plus, even if this is the Eloise she probably doesn't even remember me.
"Hello Edward, Remember me?"
