I do not own Twilight!
For the second time that night I took a deep breath, took Mike's arm and started to walk down the red carpet.
Chapter 6
EPOV:
Before me stood my beautiful Bella on another man's arm- oh how I longed to hold my angel! I wanted to tear that man to shreds as I heard his thoughts about my Bella. A soft growl escaped my lips as his thoughts turned to getting her in bed. Alice was beside me in an instant; "Edward lets go inside, you don't need to see this."
After we were inside Jasper sent calling feelings around the foyer and this allowed me to calm down until Bella and her date and her date stepped into the foyer.
This time I was smart enough to block her date's thoughts from my mind but when he paused in the middle of the foyer and kissed her my eyes turned coal black and it took both Emmett and Jasper holding my arms to keep me from jumping on him. This was the exact moment that Bella decided to look around the room- when our eyes met I could not help but feel like I was whole again.
BPOV:
Once I was standing outside of the car I could have sworn that I had seen Alice's head, no that isn't possible I quickly reminded myself that they had left and were never coming back.
I took a deep breath as Mike and I started to walk down the red carpet into the flashes of a hundred different camera's. A reporter shoved a microphone in my face, "Izzy how does it feel to be dating Mike Crafton? Does this mean you are over your mystery man?"
I had to fight to keep calm, "My love life is none of your business and where Mike is concerned it is good for publicity."
The reporter turned from me to Mike no doubt to ask him the same question- I pulled lightly on his arm, "Come on mike lets go inside."
Before I could pull him away he shrugged at the reporter who looked at me angrily.
When we got inside Mike turned to me, "Geez Izzy, what was that all about?"
I composed myself before I spoke, "Oh, it was about nothing I didn't feel like talking to anymore reporters."
"Oh if that's it- well I was hoping to do this in front of the cameras but I guess this will work…" He took me in his arms and kissed me fiercely.
Once he let go I hit him upside the head with my hand bag, "Micheal Crafton- Why did you do that?!?"
"Come on Izzy you know you have felt the connection between us. We are the perfect Hollywood couple."
"No Mike, we are not the perfect couple! We are not anything!" I looked around franticly hoping no cameras were here to catch that little show. And that is when I saw him- my Edward.
Edward was not alone I noted all of his family was standing around him- I had to giggle at the fact that Emmett and Jasper each had a hand on his shoulder, they must be restraining him attacking Mike.
Silly Edward, didn't he know that after he left me I figured out how to defend myself? Well, in a matter of speaking…
I decided that if I stopped off from Mike Edward might follow me. I stomped off making sure to look up at Edward in the process. I sure hope he took the hint.
I saw a long hallway, that'll do! Once I reached the hallway I looked around the corner at Edward- he hadn't changed I saw Alice whispering in his ear, no doubt telling him to follow me and then I stood face to face with my Edward.
I held my hands in front of me in an effort to keep from reaching out to him, "Edward- I wasn't expecting to see you here."
"Well Esme and Alice felt like moving here to get away from the cold Canadian air…" He smiled that crooked grin that I loved.
At the sight of his grin I felt all of the pain that I had felt since he left me in the forest. It was because of this that my tone was harder then I intended: "Oh Edward, don't treat me like I'm stupid! I know as well as you do that normal vampires cannot step into the sun without giving themselves away. Why are you really here?"
"Well Bella if you really want to know we came because we missed you. I've missed you- you're the reason we came." Edward looked at me as though he wanted to kiss me right there and then.
"Edward the day you left almost killed me inside and when Victoria found me she thought it would be more fun to bite me so I would live forever drowning in my pain- seeing you here tonight just bring all of that pain back- the pain that I felt when you told me you didn't love me…" I started to dry sob.
"Oh My Dear Sweet Bella! What have I done to you? When I spoke those words could you not see the lie in them?"
"Edward we both know I was not good enough for you, now because I'm the same as you am I finally good enough?" I lowered my tone trying to make it sound friendlier but instead it came out sounding seductive; "Edward, I love you. I always have loved you. After you left I tried to hate you but I just couldn't."
I looked up at him longing to feel his lips on mine: "Good-bye Edward I need to get back before I'm missed."
I turned around and walked down the hall with all of the dignity I could muster but instead of going back to Mike I walked straight into the girls bathroom and it was there that I was finally able to break down and cry.
Well cry as much as vampires could- deep sobs shook my body. A timid voice broke into me thoughts; "Bella?"
I looked up to see a frowning Alice," Oh Alice I let him leave again…"
Alice didn't speak she just put arms around me and held me.
"Alice, I've ruined everything! I need him so much but I just don't know where we fit anymore and next week we start auditioning for my new movie. Oh Alice what do I do?"
Alice was silent still," Well Bella if you truly are meant to be together, as we all know you are- love will find a way. Come on Bella let's get you back, I expect your date is getting anxious."
When Alice said the word date venom filled her mouth, "Oh Alice don't worry about Mike…"
"Oh I'm not, I saw you hit him with your purse after he kissed you. I just wanted to see your reaction." She smiled innocently.
"Alice? Could you do me a favor?"
"Of course Bella, you know I will do anything for you."
"Could you give this to Edward?" I handed her a letter that I had written when I had first been changed.
"Oh Alice, it was so good to see you again!"
Alice kissed both of my cheeks before leaving the bathroom.
I stood in the bathroom for a few more minutes trying to compose myself and then I walked out once again ready to take on the world.
