Chapter 6

The next two hours were hell; she waited in the departures lounge just praying the next announcement would tell her she could get on the plane. She clutched the notes Edward had left in her hand tracing her fingers over the writing. She sat wondering what she would say to him when she arrived. Would he know she was coming? Would Carlisle have told him after she had gotten the second note? Would she call him herself or just turn up and surprise him? She quickly snapped out of her daydream when there was a loud ding over the loudspeaker system. "Flight VS010 to London Heathrow is ready for boarding. Please have your boarding cards and passports ready. We'd like to call all first class and economy fliers to begin boarding at gate number 4". Bella scrambled to her feet shoving the notes and her IPod in her bag. 'Shit' she thought. 'Where the fuck is my passport' Bella looked around in confusion, her heart racing, this is just what she needed. She stood up quickly and breathed a sigh of relief when her blue little book was placed next to her. 'Breathe Bella' she thought, picking up her passport and searching through it to find her boarding pass. She took a deep breath and began to walk towards the boarding gate. She shakily handed her boarding pass and passport over to the gate staff, why was she this nervous? Edward had been her best friend for seven years and yet she was dreading seeing him. As she took her seat on the plane she popped her IPod back in her ears blissfully shutting out the rest of the world.

She was only an hour in to the eight hour trip and she was already feeling impatient, she just wanted to land. She spent the next three hours going over possible scenarios in her head, she was over thinking things and she knew it; but she had to be prepared for any possible reaction. In a perfect world Edward would be delighted to see her; he'd take her into his arms and just hold her whispering sweet nothings into her ear. Despite how perfect Bella had imagined the reunion, she knew this wouldn't be the case. She had built herself up for disappointment. Bella became fidgety; she played with her fingertips as she flicked through the on flight film choices, deciding on Zombieland as nothing else took her fancy. She spent the next two hours not paying attention to the film at all. In a last bid attempt to make time speed up she forced her eyes shut attempting to take a nap, she awoke startled as the man sitting next to her nudged her to tell her it was time to buckle up, they were about to land. Bella's excitement grew as she knew she was finally in the same country as Edward, the same country as her man.

As soon as the plane hit the tarmac Bella practically jumped out her seat and sprinted off the plane into the airport terminal, she impatiently hurried through the security checks. She walked around the airport looking like a lost child following the directional signs towards the luggage collection point. She waited what seemed like forever for her suitcase, seeing everyone else find their suitcase before she spotted hers five minutes later. Bella quickly ran to the 'bureau du change' handing over all the dollars she had left; which she realised wasn't that many. She then attempted to find her way out, Heathrow airport was anything but quiet as people bashed into her and pushed her out of the way. 'Have people in London never heard of manners?' she whispered under her breath. She desperately tried to weave her way through the preoccupied business men, excited children and those who were just plain rude to get to the exit.

As soon as she reached the taxi rank there was yet another queue, yet more waiting. Bella had never been the impatient type. Bella was usually calm and patient but she needed to get to Edward, she needed to be in that apartment, she needed to be in his arms. 'Good things come to those who wait' she thought repeatedly, wishing she could actually believe it. Finally she was at the front of the taxi line and as a signature London black cab pulled up she practically dived in the back and simply stared at the driver. "Where you heading love?" he asked as she snapped back into reality. "Yes, shit, I'm going. Wait, where AM I going?" she panicked, frantically routing through her pockets for the note from Edward. "shit, fuck, shit" she shouted as she started to empty her backpack into the back of the taxi, tears filling up her eyes, she needed to know where she was going, she needed to be at Edwards door. A tear rolled down her cheek as she finally found the notes in the very bottom of her bag. She let out a huge sigh of relief as she told the taxi driver the address and he pulled out of the airport.

She finally felt herself relax for the first time in the past 24 hours, she finally knew where she heading, she knew she would be seeing Edwards face soon. The taxi driver took her past all the famous monuments of London, she was amazed. Bella had always wanted to go to London, as she drove past Downing Street and Nelsons column; she fell even more in love with the place, even if only had been 10 minutes. Edward and she had always spoken about going to London, they had it all planned out; now it was kind of a reality. The taxi came to an abrupt halt as the taxi driver merely asked her for the fare, silently she paid and got out. The nerves were back again. She walked through the main reception of the big apartment complex; she was amazed at how Edward could afford a swanky placed like this. She calmly walked up two flights of stairs as she reached apartment number 12, his apartment. 'Stay calm Bella' she reassured herself 'everything will be ok'. Her hand shook with nerves as she knocked on his door, for every second she waited she became more fidgety; biting her lip and fiddling on the bottom of her shirt. Her eyes widened as the door finally opened.
