Chapter 17: the Interview

Previously-

Bella and Edward were friends when Tanya came into the scene and Bella moved away.

Edward hasn't seen Bella since High School. He has become an actor and is about to have his break through role revealed.

Bella has kept in touch with Alice but on the premise that they do not speak about Edward. Bella writes for a magazine and has been chosen to represent her magazine at the latest movie junket. What she doesn't realise is that Edward is the unknown star of the film and she is the only writer that knows anything about him.

PREVIOUS CHAPTER- Bella and Edward see each other at the junket and Edward and chosen Bella to interview him without knowing who she is. Both have their identities revealed to the other.

I cannot believe I didn't immediately recognise Bella. She was in every memory I treasured. However I did feel the intensity in the room when she was there, it felt like I was back in High School, back whenever I was with Bella.

I had to prepare for the interview tomorrow this could be the beginning or end of my career and it was solely in the hands of my ex-best friend.

BPOV

I couldn't believe that I had won the right to interview Edward. It is surreal, knowing that I know more about him then the rest of the press without having to interview him. I know his name, family and even shared childhood memories with him.

This could either make or break my career.

EPOV

She entered the room wearing a pinstriped skirt suit. She looked beautiful. I felt feelings that I haven't felt since the last time I saw Bella. I could feel the intensity of the room increase tenfold once she entered. I felt like I should run but I wanted to stay, I wanted to know her again.

Once she sat I gave her my famous smile, she returned my smile shyly. The coordinator entered so I got up and introduced myself to Bella and hoped that she would play along.

"Hello Ms Swan, my name is Edward Masen."

BPOV

"Please call me Bella, it's nice to meet you Edward."

I decided to go along with him, however I was not leaving this junket until I properly spoke to Edward.

I asked the usual questions regarding the movie and his opinions on the cast and crew etc. I asked all the questions I was expected to ask however the last one was different.

"So Edward, do you identify with your character at all?"

"I think we all identify we losing something important to us and then hoping to find it again some day."

His answer was perfect and the way he looked at me when he answered was like he was saying something deeper.

The movie was about losing one's soul mate then finding them again in the most unlikely of places.

"Have you lost something important before?" I asked, not really wanting to know the answer.

"Yes I have lost something and only realised its importance once it was gone. I have recently found it again." He answered looking at me like he was looking through to my soul.

Then the interview was called to finish, so I thanked Edward for his time. He shook my hand and it was as if I was alive again.

Once his hand left mine I realised he had placed a small piece of paper in my hand. I smiled and left. As I was walking out I opened the piece of paper.

Meet me at room 408 in 10 minutes.

That's all it said. I wanted answers so I was definitely meeting him there.
