I LOVE MY BEST FRIEND. I LOVE Angela Weber.
I ran took out my cell phone from my pocket but it was wet. Great. It was off too, looks like I need a new phone. But that didn't matter now. I ran inside and looked for Alice to borrow her phone.
"Oh Edward my phone is dead. I called Angela because she disappeared was she with you? Why are you drenched? Where'd your phone?" I groaned and walked away leaving her with her questions. Then I saw Bella. I ran to her and she smiled then she saw me good and her smile vanished.
"Edward, what happened? Why are you drenched and—"
"Can I borrow your phone?" I asked interrupting her. Questions later. "Please?" I said and she looked at me confused but she took her phone out of her purse and hand it to me. I dialed the number that was forever engraved in my head and it rang but no answer. I called again and again, still no answer. Bella just stood there and I groaned in frustration when I called again.
"The number you dialed is our of the area or turned off—"I shut the phone and walked towards a waiter. I took a glass of wine and drowned it.
"Edward, are you okay?" Bella asked and I turned to look at her. How in the world had I thought Angela was Bella? Bella was taller than Angela, her hair was different, her mask was slightly different. Now I saw the differences. A tear ran down my cheek and I shook my head.
"Can I borrow your phone for the night?" I asked her and she nodded. I just stood there for a second. I could understand if she needed time but she could at least answer the phone! I took another glass of wine and drank it, a bit slower this time then I heard a song in the background. Oh just perfect.
…now you aint around, baby i cant think
i should put it down, shoulda got that ring
cuz i can still feel it in the air
see your pretty face
run my fingers through her hair
my lover
my life
my baby
my wife
she left me, i'm tight
cuz i knew that it just aint right…
She had never said she loved me but then again, neither had I. What kind of nightmare is this? Why can't this be just a dream? So I can take it all back and tell her I love her and not hurt her.
if you ever loved somebody put your hands up
and now they're gone and you wish you could give them everything
I spend the next thirty minutes just pacing and Bella sat in a chair just watching me. I sat on the chair next to her and spoke desperately.
"Have you ever been in love and not known?" she just stared at me and opened her mouth but I interrupted her. "I mean, people make mistakes right? I know I should've told her but if I dindnt know, how was I supposed to say anything?" she put a finger in my mouth to shut me and it reminded me of Angela.
"Why don't you go to her?' She asked.
"I can't. She needs time, but I just need to talk to her." She nodded towards the phone.
"Have you tried calling her house phone? She must be there by now I bet." She was right! I should…leave a message. So I dialed and it rang and rang then I heard her.
"Hello, you have called Angela Weber but you probably already knew that because well…you called so I'm really sorry I wasn't able to answer your call but feel free to leave me a message and I will call you back as soon as I can." BEEP.
"Hey…uh…Angela…? I…ugh what the hell am I— " I closed the phone. "I want to talk to her not a machine!"
"Well maybe if you talk to the machine first…she'll understand and pick up the phone…?"
"Why are you helping me?" I asked her curiously and she took a deep breath.
"Because I saw you dance with her. And you guy looked like my parents. "I stared at her in even more confusion and she laughed. "Not literally look like my parents but the way you looked at each other. That's what I see as love Edward." With that, I smiled a bit and dialed her number again.
"Hello, you have called Angela Weber but you probably already knew that because well…you called so I'm really sorry I wasn't able to answer your call but feel free to leave me a message and I will call you back as soon as I can." BEEP.
"Angela, please answer the phone. We need to clear this confusion. The things I said tonight, I said them because they came out of my heart. The name was wrong, yes, but it was for you. All you and—" I shut the phone.
"What happened? Why didn't you finish?" Bella asked. I put my hands on my face.
"I just can't tak to a machine. I need to see her. I need to tell her in person." She sighed.
"Just call her Edward, I'll be back, I have to go talk to Alice." She stood up and left. I looked at the phone and dialed again.
"…Hey Ang. I'm Edward…. God I feel like an idiot… Umm…could you please, answer the phone? This is the third time I leave a need to talk….Please Angela, I know you're listening." I pinched the bridge of my nose. "I've been calling your cell phone countless times and you don't answer. It's been an hour. You MUST be home. PLEASE Ang. I just…I just NEED to talk to you. I need to tell you that—" BEEP!
"SHIT!" I shouted and received a few curious looks from people around. Then Bella came to me and put her arm around my shoulder.
"She didn't answer again?" she asked in a quiet voice and I shook my head as another frustrated tear ran down my cheek. I shivered from the cold. "You need to change clothes Edward, you'll get sick." She stood up and stretched her hand. "Come on, I'll go home with you. We'll make some hot chocolate and talk." I ran a hand through my hair and took her hand.
