Edward's POV (yay i did it!)
A Long Story and a Realization
Classes went by quicker than normal today. My anger was being taken out on the table as squeezed the faux wood. Someone, most likely a human, got into my room? Stole my things? And came out undetected? They must be watching us, knowing there way around. But who would do that? It was random. Everybody in Forks is intimidated by us. They would never even enter the Cullen's house. Other than that, we would still smell their scent in the mansion, it wasn't something that leaves that quickly. I looked down as I heard a snap and my hands became immediately relaxed. I had broken through and splintered the fake wood which now had a two inch by five inch chunk removed from it. I looked around, apparently no one had heard the sound, being to distracted by gossip and rumors. I sighed as the bell rang and headed off to lunch. This high school facade was getting old. The same curriculum repeated over and over, nothing ever changing. Most the time getting it wrong.
As I entered the lunch I headed over to our usual table. Jasper and Emmet and Rosalie were the only ones there. Jasper jerked his head to the other side of the cafeteria, toward an empty table. I looked at it closer, barely missing the small figure of Alice. I watched her as she stood up and beckoned to some one enthusiastically.
My facial expressions became a mixture of confusion and anger as I saw Bella walk over to our table.
Alice turned toward me and waved me over to join them.
"Please, come over. This is very important" I almost laughed. Alice's pleading reminded me of Bella's. ''I know it might be hard for you to be around her, you just have to control yourself, Bella really needs to talk to you."
I glared and walked over to the table. Glaring was seeming to become more frequent around Alice.
I sat down and Bella just stared at the table, apparently nervous. I looked over her, to her face, brown strands over hair, loose from her bun. To her faded plain blue t-shirt, down to her hand. My expression became murderous.
There on her arm was the wedding ring. My wedding ring. I grabbed her hand. Her head jerked up, her face scowling, angry at my unexpected gesture. I yanked up her sleeve, finding a charm bracelet. There hanging was the heart pendant that had belonged to my mother.
"Bella, will you please come and talk to me?" I spoke through gritted teeth.
Alice spoke up, "Edward, please, I didn't bring her over here for you to verbally abuse her, or worse. She needs to talk to you and you need to listen."
I saw Bella shudder at the last Alice's "or worse" statement and I let my hand go from her arm. I breathed in, and smelt her scent on my hand. I wanted to smile at this, it made me happy for some strange reason.
"If we are going to talk, let's get away from everybody else." I insisted. Alice just nodded and we all stood up and headed out the doors. The rain was pouring from the sky. We stood under the over hanging roof, the water splashing off the ground onto the bottom of our pant legs. I saw Bella looking at me and I decided not to whip around and frighten her. She meant something to me, subconsciously. I felt remorse at how vile I had acted to her just a few minutes before. Bella did not deserve it, and i could not feel enough sorrow.
"Whoa Edward, I just saw wedding bells in your future with the girl standing beside me, would you like to explain?" (sorry i lied, AN, but it's important! Alice can now see Bella incorporated into a future because the wedding is something Bella hadn't experienced so it is still considered the future.)
I just smirked and Alice giggled all the while Bella gave us strange looks.
"So would you like to explain all of this?" I said as I motioned down to Bella's arm.
"Bella, would you do the honors?"
Bella POV
I stared at Alice wide eyed. I did not want to explain anything at the moment. I knew it was silly to feel uncomfortable around Edward, but after he grabbed my arm at lunch I felt a bit frightened.
I looked up and was surprised to see Edward smiling encouragingly, making me blush.
I had to explain, there would be no us if I did not. I needed to do this.
"Well, first of all, before I say anything, you need to know that we are engaged. Just please keep in mind that in some alternate universe you loved me. You might not feel that way any more but I must let you know this so you don't react drastically."
I stared at Edward, waiting for a reaction, he just stared at me like I was crazy.
"Even now, before I have ever had a decent conversation, I know that I loved you. The thing I can't see is why you would ever love me?"
This response caught me off guard. I did imagine the crazy look, but not the loving me part. Not to mention the last addition.
"Um, well..." I was a bit dazed and this made Edward chuckle.
"I would love to here your story," Edward's crooked smile was welcoming, something I hadn't seen since I had left my real home. It gave me a sliver of hope, something I hadn't felt in a long long time.
"Well, basically, if you haven't noticed, I am incredibly clumsy. I was at your house, before all this, and was walking down the stairs, and hit my head bringing me here. At first I thought this was a nightmare, something I would wake up to, knowing I would wake up the next day, but I didn't. At some point the thought came through my mind that before was all a dream, but that theory soon went out the window once I saw you guys were still vampires and all."
Edward tensed up when he heard the last part.
"Cool it Edward, she already knows, it's old news." Alice looked laid back, almost bored.
"You told her?" Edward began to accuse Alice.
"No! Do you really expect yourself to propose to someone who didn't know you were a vampire?" Alice retorted.
"Oh," Edward relaxed at this realization and I continued.
"You and you family had welcomed me with open arms and we were together around two years." I decided to tell him the whole story. "It started out great, you were amazing, everything I could dream of. The day I met your family you invited me to come and watch your siblings play baseball. I agreed, and the game started smoothly. About halfway through, this coven of vampires that Alice had predicted came and was attracted to the relationship me and you had. A human and a vampire. He was intrigued by the fact that you were protecting me and decided to try to kill me." Edward tensed up again, his lips raising above his teeth, I continued wanting to get to the happy ending. "Alice, Jasper and I left for Phoenix, he contacted me, dragging me into a trap and I agreed, thinking my mother was in trouble. I'll skip the gruesome details but James, the vampire, cornered me and bit me. Your family came and rescued me. Carlisle said the venom had gone to far into my system and that you needed to suck the poison out. You did, successfully and I survived."
Edward let a breath that he had been holding.
"Is he dead?" Edward's eyes looked hopeful but vicous, though I had no idea who he was talking about.
"Who?"
"James, the vampire who attacked you,"
Yes, and the rest of his Coven which will come in later,"
"There's more?"
"Unfortunately, yes, there's much more."
"I beg you go continue then,"
"Well on my eighteenth birthday you held a birthday party against my will and the was an incident you see. I was opening one of the presents and I got a paper cut, me being me. Jasper tried to get at me and you had to tackle me to safely which ended up causing more damage when broken glass sliced up my arms. Everything turned out okay, but you thought it wasn't safe for me to be around you, so you left to Italy, telling me you no longer loved me."
He looked pained, in true agony at what I had just said. His face was contorted and twisted, I could see how much sadness I had brought to him.
"But you returned!" I assured him.
"Bella, I understand and fully appreciate it that you are trying to make this as painless as possible, but I need to here what I did. Please do not cut anything out for my sake." It didn't seem fair. It was like he felt like it was his fault all this happened. He shouldn't feel guilty at all. It was just fifteen minutes ago that we had our first civilized conversation.
"Well, you were gone for about five months (A/N- Is that correct? I wasn't sure so I just estimated. PM me if it's incorrect and I will change it.) and I resorted to spending my time with Jacob Black, a werewolf," Edward cringed when I said that. "I found out that when ever I was in a dangerous situation I would here your voice, see your eyes, smell your scent. The idea of seeing you, or being reminded of you was overwhelming. I got to the point where I was so desperate that I would risk my life. One day I went cliff diving. Alice saw this in her vision and because she is not able to see werewolves she didn't see that Jacob saved my life and she thought I was dead. You found out and asked the Volturi to kill you while Alice came here to find out if I was really dead. When she found out the truth, we went to Volterra to save you and we did, thankfully, preventing your death. The Volturri found out all I knew an had you promise to change me before their next visit to Forks. You came back and I wanted you to change me. You, trying to drag it out as long as possible, promised that you would right after our wedding. You knew this would suspend me becoming a vampire for just a bit longer. Everything was good until Victoria, Jame's mate, came to take revenge on you for Jame's death. She was targeting me and had made an army of newborns. Jasper was great and made out a plan and strategy. We got the werewolves to help and we won after a long night and you and Seth killing Victoria. It was great after that, we didn't have to worry about anything, no one was coming for me, it was such a relief. Then this happened." I wiped my eyes with my sleeve trying to remove the tears.
Alice and Edward had been very quiet the whole story, taking it all in. Even Alice's bored expression was now in awe, after hearing something new. Edward was amazed, hundreds of emotions crossed through his face. Just staring at me. Finally his face became like before, like he understood it all, as if it made sense.
"You weren't scared of me? You came to a house of vampires? You still loved me after you were attacked by another vampire multiple times? Are you crazy? Don't get me wrong, I am amazed that you would still love me after all that, you would still ask me to return? I do not, and will never deserve you," I laughed, this might be a different-ish Edward but you was still exactly the same. I was extremely grateful he still loved me. That we would find someway to get back, and if we didn't, I would still have him.
I looked down at my wrist watch and saw that class had already started.
"Don't worry about class, we can get you out of it. You need to talk to us right now."
I just nodded. We all turned and walked toward the office.
I felt Edward's hand take my own. He looked down at me and smiled that crooked smile, I looked up and smiled back.
He was an angel. He was my angel.
