"Edward?"

"Bella?!"

Five years ago was the last time I saw Edward Cullen. We were at the airport saying

goodbye to him as he headed off to NYU.

"flashback"

"Bye Edward." my words were barely English as I said them through the torrent of tears

that were escaping me. Here was my best friend leaving me to go off to a prestigious

college I should be happy right? Yeah well I would be happy for him if I was sure I

would see him again and if I wasn't completely and totally in love with him that might

help the situation a little bit. Eh probably not.

" Bye Bella I promise I'll call you everyday."

Yeah so that was three years ago and I hadn't heard from him since then even though he

did promise he was obviously way too preoccupied with the many attractive women here

in the NYC to be bothered to contact little old me. With this new revelation I regretfully

heaved myself out of his warm , strong arms and said

" Nice to see you again Edward but I'm late for a meeting." not entirely a lie or entirely

the truth but hey what would you do when the guy you've been pining after since you hit

puberty forgot to call you?

As I turned to leave he grabbed my wrist and had the nerve to ask, "Bella wait! I haven't

seen or heard from you in five years can't this meeting wait?"

" No I'm really sorry Edward but I have to leave now goodbye."

With that I turned on my heel and started walking towards Alice and Rose's apartment. I

just knew those two had something to do with him being here again. I walked into the

lobby of their apartment building and hit the button for the elevator and just who should

walk up behind me?

" Hey Bella."

" No I'm really sorry Edward I have to leave now goodbye."

Those words kept repeating in my head as I watched her walk away from me. I had been

in love with Bella since she hit puberty. She was always naturally beautiful, kind, and

smart. But today had just showed me how much someone could change in five years. The

way she looked at me just revealed just how much she hated me. Who could blame her I

had forgotten about everyone at home once I met Leah and all her friends. What with the

partying every weekend and all of the work I had to do at NYU it's a wonder that I

remembered to take a shower let alone call Bella. But now I felt really bad if I really did

love her like I should have I would have never gotten mixed up with Leah and it would

have saved me all this unnecessary heartache. Sigh I should have just come here done my

work and gone back to Bella and told her everything like I had planned. Oh well maybe I

could make it all better now. I hurried to Jasper's and Emmet's so that they could help me

figure all of this out. I looked up from the floor of their apartment building lobby and was

met by the sight of Bella in that dress again waiting for the elevator.

"Hey Bella."

She turned and looked up at me in shock.

" What are you doing here Edward?" She asked in a breathy voice that sent chills up my

spine as I pictured her saying my name that way in a much different setting.

" I'm going up to see jasper and Emmet. What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see Alice and Rose."

Ding the elevator finally arrived and I motioned for her to go first. She stepped in and

pushed the button for her floor. I looked at the panel and realized I was going to the same

floor and let the doors close. I inhaled her scent in the close warm box. It was the same as

always freesias and strawberries. I noticed her stiffen at some of her thoughts.

Ding. The doors opened and again I let her step out first all the while resisting the urge to

grab her pull her back in and have my wicked way with her. We both coincidentally

started walking in the same direction. Then we both stopped in front of apartment 492.

"Edward why are you following me?"

I was about to tell her I wasn't when the door opened revealing a shocked Alice and

Jasper. Alice let out a nervous chuckle and said" He he I guess our surprise is kind of

ruined huh Jazzy?"
