I am highly disappointed. I only got one review and I need more reviews to know that people like my story and so far, I'm not that convinced. :(
In other words, some out there think that Bella doesn't deserve Edward because she is having physical relations with a married man, well in the music video, the man Katy is having physical relations with, takes off a wedding band, that must mean he is married to another women because I am pretty sure Katy didn't marry that man. So I only assumed that Katy was having sex with a married man. Besides, Edward told her to move on, and he meant it…or did he? I don't know you're going to have to find out for yourself. (: I hope this info didn't upset anyone though.
It's my story and I like where it's going. (: So saying that, I hope you like this chapter. (:

I stared at those beautiful brown eyes of hers that were twinkling with tears. She looked beautiful when she cried; I couldn't help but think that. Her porcelain face was covered with a small hat and she was wearing her white summer dress. I also loved it when she wore that.
But I couldn't think about that, at least right not now. I had just told Bella that I had to leave, also that she needed to move on from our relationship. I don't want to, but I have to. At least I think I have to. I mean, it wouldn't be right if I kept her to myself when there are plenty of men for her that she can see every day and hold and love and I would be heartless if I kept her from that.
"Bella, Bella sweetie. Listen." She was turning her head and shoulders away from me, trying to break free of my hold on her. She wiped her eye as a tear slipped out and looked at me.
"Trust me; I do not want to leave you anymore than you would."
"Then why?"
"I would be a jerk if I stayed with you and kept you from all the things that you want. I would keep you from being in love, loving, holding the man that you are with, touching, feeling. Everything. I'm going to be away and I can't give you those things when you want them most."
"I would wait an eternity for you Edward. What part of that do you not get?"
"You would wait, but you would regret it."
"No, no I wouldn't." She had a look of determination on her face. She was a very stubborn beauty when she wants to be.
"Yes you would. You know why? Because when you're all alone waiting for me to come back, you'll be thinking about all the things you're missing out on." I was holding onto her elbows and my head was bent down so that I could look at her straight in the eyes.
"I wouldn't be missing out on much."
"Oh, Bella stop being so stubborn. You know exactly what you'll be missing. You'll be missing being held at night, making love, having a child. All of those things that I know you want and I won't be able to provide."
"Then why don't we do all of those things before you leave?"
"Because that would only make things worse. We would only make us want each other more and I couldn't bare it."
"But I though you wanted to marry me. I thought we were going to be together forever? I thought that…" she chocked at the end not being able to finish her sentence.
It pained me to see her like this, but it would pain me even more to know that I would be keeping the things she wanted most from her because I was not there when she wanted them. That was in my opinion, the worst thing I could do to her.
I grabbed her chin so she would look at me. The pain and sorrow in her eyes almost made me drop to the floor and cry in agony. My vision went blurry and I felt hot water spill from my eyes.
What Bella did next surprised me. She wiped the tear away with kisses. She was the one comforting me. To be honest it made me slightly uncomfortable, not because I was embarrassed or anything, but because this has never happened to me before. But I loved it. I loved the way her lips stayed just a second longer than they should.
She pulled back and gave me a small smile. A reassuring smile, but a smile that was filled with pure love. I smiled back and pulled her in to give me another kiss.
"So, what now?" I asked, a little afraid of her answer.
"I don't know, but we will stay in each other's lives will we? I mean, I know we can't be together, but can we at least stay in touch? And when you come back…" she looked up at me hesitantly. Afraid of what I would say.
"And when I come back, I'm going to marry you. No matter what we go through during everything, we will end up together." I declared. I will marry Bella. I just can't right now, it would be too much to bare.
"No matter what?" She asked again.
"No matter what." I said softly before I placed a kiss atop her beautiful soft lips. She kissed me once more before letting me go. I smiled at her faintly, feeling a tear slip away. She smiled and turned around and made her way back to town.
I watched her go, catching her wipe tears away from her eyes every now and then. She only looked back once before she went in a store. That was the store that her good friend Alice owned. Actually, Alice was my sister. And I met Bella because of her. She wouldn't be too happy to know that me and Bella parted, but it was the best for everyone. I hope…
"Edward, you have to get over it. I know you miss her, but you have to think about the course right now okay?" Jasper said. We were at boot camp and the obstacle course was what we were about to do.
"Oh uh, right." I said looking down. It had been almost 6 months since Bella and I parted ways. I wrote her a letter one day after I left. I was in Georgia right now, so it took the letter about 2 weeks before Bella received it. But she replied back instantly. That made me higher than life. But I haven't been able to write her back and she hasn't sent me one either. This is why I am depressed. I regret leaving her, but at the same time I need to do what's right.
"Go, go, go!" the sergeant yelled. I hadn't realized we had started the course. Jasper was already up the wooden fence, climbing it faster than all the other men. I was the only one still standing so I quickly raced to where Jasper was; racing the other men was a piece of cake.
"Thanks for the warning." I said when I finally caught up to him.
"Sorry, I thought you would have heard the whistle." He said sheepishly, but then chuckled and said, "I'm surprised with the size of your ears you didn't hear them."
I just looked at him and glared.
"Joking." He smiled and I laughed.
We finished the course and went into the tent that we shared. I rested down on my cot and closed my eyes. But before I could actually get some rest I heard footsteps outside the tent and sat up.
"Edward I've got something for you." Emmett, my brother, said while coming inside. He was a year older than me, and joined the army only 2 years ago, but he was already a commander and had a wife of 5 years named Rosalie. She was a beauty I must say, golden blonde hair with ice blue eyes. They had a baby too; it pained Emmett to be away from them both. It was a little boy, my nephew, Elijah. He was 2 now and I have only been able to see him a few times. But he had Emmett's curly locks and Rosalie's blonde hair, huge dimples and a smile that could go on forever, like Bella's smile.
Anyways, Emmett handed me a letter. "Here you go; I decided to get your mail for you."
"Thank you." I said as he handed me the small white envelope. I looked at the front to make sure it was from Bella, gladly it was.
I opened it, excited to see what she said, but my smile soon turned into one of a frown at what I just read. My world came tumbling down before me, and I was not prepared in the least.
Hmmmmm... do you liiike it?wellll...
