I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain
-Prince, Purple Rain
Bella POV
Charlie wasn't here. I was happy to see that.
I did my homework. The place was silent. I felt calm, and relieved. It was these little moments that told me that everything was going to be okay.
I went to sleep that night before Charlie would arrive.
But I should probably tell you what happened in between the time that I got home from school and went to bed.
Well nothing of importance. Except for one thing.
I decided to go to my window tonight, because the rain was coming down at such a beautiful, moderate level. Not pouring down, but not sprinkling either.
And then there he was. Edward. He looked so sad, but his then his eyes found mine. He looked like a deer in headlights, well not totally—just a little. He stay froze because he didn't know what I would do. And I totally didn't know either. And what I did totally took me by surprise.
I touched my fingertips to the window and a couple tears fell down my face. I completely showed him from a distance how vulnerable I was. It was as if I was handing my vulnerability to him on a platter. I was hoping he wouldn't come over and want to talk, I really wasn't ready for that.
But he rested his forehead against the glass.
We stayed there staring at each other the whole time.
And then, we both fell asleep at our windows. Just like we used to.
