Chapter 4 Found Again
Edward's POV
I saw Bella bolt out of the front door. I knew she was either upset or didn't believe me or both, about everything that I had just told her. But she need to hear the truth one way or another even if she didn't believe me at first. I decided to give her some space and waited another ten minutes before rushing after her. I quickly picked up her scent after not being around it for seventy years, I had forgotten how much I had got accustomed to it. It was strangely the same yet different in a way. Beginning to follow the scent, running my fastest but still not fast enough, I ended up at an abandoned sawmill at the edge of town. I could hear a faint sobbing sound coming from inside. That had to be where my Bella was. I raced towards the half-way broken down door and sent it crashing backward, collapsing under the force of my blow. I quickly turned to see that Bella was hugging her knees tightly to her with her head buried in her tucked up knees. She was still sobbing dryly as I walked to her. I took her in my arms and hugged her closely to my chest. She gripped my shirt as I sank to the ground still holding her only now she was in my lap.
Bella's POV
I didn't know how long I sat there crying and thinking about all of the things he said. He still loved me ?? But he said he didn't and he didn't want me to even remember him. It will be as if I never existed, as he put it. Then left me for Victoria. He pretty much offered me up as bait or cut the chain that was holding the sword that was constantly swinging above my head. He didn't love me then, but what about now, he said he did but did he really mean it ? What about when he left me in the woods? Did he mean it then ? He had to be lying one of those times, but it seemed that he wasn't in my living room. I am so confused, I thought to myself. Suddenly I heard the door break, sending it crashing into the back wall of the mill. I didn't even bother to look to see who it was. Maybe that person will see me a leave me alone, but I didn't really want to be alone. Again I was so confused. The stranger picked me up and held me close. I inhaled deeply as I recognized it to be Edward. I grabbed onto his tee shirt as he sank to the floor. I didn't care that I was supposed to be thinking about what he had said, I wanted to be by him and with him and never let go . I suddenly wasn't confused any more. I knew that I still loved him and now forgave him for everything. I tried to say I love you but he gently cut me off when I realized that I couldn't speak yet,
"Shhh, Bella, you don't have to talk now, we have plenty of time for that. It's ok. I just need you to calm down. I'm back if you still want me and I won't ever leave again."
After a few more long minutes I calmed down enough to speak, although it was only a whisper,
"Edward," I looked at his still pained face, he wasn't even bothering to hide is emotions, "I still love you and of course I want you to stay."
He looked down and straight into my eyes his expression brightening a lot and said,
"I still love you too and I glad you want me to stay."
Then he bent down and kissed me passionately, no longer needing to me careful. If there was a list of the most passionate kiss this one would have easily made the topped the number one choice. I kissed him back with all the force I could muster up. I broke the kiss after several long minutes. We smiled up at one another after the best kiss I had ever had and intertwined our hands. We walked back to my house to meet or greet each others families.
