Chapter 9: Full of Surprises.

EPOV

I dropped my hands from her hips, stunned.

How? How could she have to leave me? How could five words make me feel so… empty.

She was leaving me, she was going 'home'.

"I got to go finish packing" Bella said, looking at her feet.

I just nodded, not able to speak.

She ran out of the meadow.

I just collapsed, my legs not being able to hold me up any longer.

How could she be leaving? Leaving me?

*****************

I sat in my room, alone. The only people in the house were Rosalie and me.

Everyone else was at the airport, wishing Bella fair well.

I couldn't bring myself to go.

I sat on my couch, staring at the velvet box.

All my plans, ruined.

"Edward, may I please come in" Rosalie asked in a polite voice.

Why was she being so nice?

"Um… sure" I said as I sat up from my slouching position.

Rosalie came into my room and sat on my couch next to me.

"So?" I asked, not knowing why she was there.

"Just because she left doesn't mean you should cancel your plans" Rosalie said, getting straight to the point.

She stood up and walked over grabbing the small box.

"Go to Italy, follow her. Nothing comes easily, especially not love" Rosalie said, sincerely.

To shocked to say anything, I just looked at her. She came over and put the small box in my hand.

"Good luck" Rosalie said as she walked out of my room.

All I could think was…

'Wow, she's full of surprises'.
