Bella is mugged until mysterious comes to her rescue who is the person that saved Bella before she has a chance to thank him he gone until they meet again; a journey begins for the both of them never expected. They find what they needed in each other they go on journey and find out sometime you have to take a chance.
Bella had bent down to pick up the fallen purse.
At the same time, Edward had bent down to help, her collect the scattered items that he caused her to drop on the floor.
Edward looked up from the ground only to stare into those familiar brown eyes he had seen before, slack jawed for a minute Edward couldn't 't believe that he was seeing the young woman he saved from the mugger only two night's ago.
Edward quickly picked up Bella purse before she could reach for it herself and handed back to her, gently she took the purse form him.
Rising to his feet quickly he was about to walk away when he heard a soft voice call after him. " wait , " there was something in Edward that wanted him to keep walking to go forward but at the same time something in him was telling him to stop.
He had mixed feelings he did not know what to do when he heard her voice calling out to him again.
"Wait, please don't go ".
Edward turned around slowly while he glanced over at her; she was standing there with a sad smile on her face.
Taking a breath Edward walked over to where she was standing .Stopping right in front of her Edward felt nervous.
As they both stood, there neither of them knew what to say to each other, Bella was nervous. She folded her arms around her midsection
"Thank you, for helping me that night not to many people would have jumped in to help someone they don't know or get involved. "
"Well, I'm not like most people. "
"There something different about you ". Listening carefully to what Bella had said to him she was right, Edward wasn't like most people there was something different about him and she couldn't't tell what it was .
"Also, I'm sorry for bumping into you before "Edward gave Bella a smirk.
"Its fine "Bella shook her head.
"No, its not I could have burnt you with my coffee or something "he just stood there as Bella rambled on.
"Look I didn't't get hurt or anything, but I do feel bad for making you spill your coffee. "
Looking up at him slowly Bella saw that he was staring at her.
"It's fine it was just a cup of coffee. I am sorry about your shirt "it was only until then that Edward nocited that there were some coffee stains on his sweater.
"Its ok" he said in low tone.
Bella looked at Edward face this time again looking up at his jade green eyes she saw a hidden sadness to them she didn't't know why but she wanted to know what was making him so sad.
The expression on Bella face did not go unnoticed. Without saying another he, was about to turn around as Bella asked him?
"What's your name if you don't mind me asking? "Edward stood there looking at her before he answered her.
"My name is Edward Cullen "his last name sounded familiar to her but she wasn't sure where she had heard it before.
"What's your name? " Edward asked Bella
Smiling softly at him Bella answered Edward "my name is Isabella Swan "Bella stuck out her hand at him, slowly reaching over he took her hand in his.
The feeling didn't't go unnoticed by Edward as soon as his hand made contact with her Edward felt this strange sensation of warmth and comfort , he wondered what it was pulling his hand back quickly. Some reason when Edward held Bella hand he did not want to let go.
It was something about her that was drawing him to her and he did not know what it was. He was scared about it but something in told him to take a chance.
Bella felt the same strange sensation in her hand as well she wondered what it could be. They stood there looking at each other. Bella wondered what he was thinking as he was looking at her.
Edward cleared his throat "since "I made you spill your coffee I was wondering if you would let me buy you a new to apologize? "
Bella gave Edward a smile "you don't have to do that. "
"I know but I want to. "
"Okay "they both walked over to the door of the coffee shop, Edward took a hold of the handle on the door while he held it open for her.
Bella blushed at his polite behaviour while she walked in behind her Edward closed the door behind him. They walked up to the cash were Edward bought her coffee, and himself one as well after he paid for he handed it too her.
Taking the coffee from his hand Bella glanced up at his face "thank you. "
"Your welcome. "
Bella gave Edward a small smile.
Clearing his throat Edward asked Bella "umm do you want to sit down or something? "
"Sure" they both walked over to a table by the window they both sat down, there was a silence between them for a moment until Edward said "so, how the coffee?"
Bella blushed slightly "umm it's good how your's? "
"It's ok, "they sat there for a little in silence just drinking there when Bella asked him a question that was bothering her ever since the night he saved her.
"Why didn't't you stay after you saved me from that mugger "
Pinching the bridge between is nose Edward did not know how to answer that he just looked at Bella, she waited for him to answer but he never did.
Bella was about to ask something when he started to speak
" it's not that I didn't't want stay to make sure you were ok but , I once I knew that you were safe from the mugger I felt like I had no business begin there so , that why I didn't't stay.
Not understanding what he meant by that Bella was confused "why did you feel like that?"
Taking in the expression on her face , seeing that she was listening to what he was going to tell her Edward was about to explain why he left or so she thought.
"Look, I just can't explain you won't understand "Bella was upset that he wouldn't't explain why he left.
"Ok "
Looking down at his cup of coffee that was now empty Edward felt bad, that he been rude to her.
"I'm sorry I was rude to you before. "
Bella shook her head "it's fine. "
Playing with her fingers she looked up at Edward, she noticed that his eyes looked so sad she wondered how he went from being happy and then sad in less then five minutes it did not make any sense to her.
Edward felt her looking at him slowly he glanced up at Bella.
Both there eyes met for a moment there eyes were locked on the each other.
There gaze was broken by the sound of cell phone going off, Bella reached in her purse pulling out her phone Edward just looked at her. Seeing that she had received a text from her friend Alice Bella read what it said.
"Bella where in the world have you gone girl you've have been gone for almost an hour."
Not realizing but Bella just recalled that she had forgotten to go back to work texting Alice back quickly.
"Don't worry Alice on my way talk to you soon." Edward nocited that Bella expression had changed.
Placing the phone bag in her bag she looked back at Edward and saw that he was watching her.
"Sorry about that but, I just remembered that I need to get back to work. "
Edward nodded his head at her "that fine, I was about to tell that I needed to leave anyways ".
Hearing what Edward said Bella wondered why he said what he said in such a sad tone. Edward was curious to where as Bella worked.
"Oh where do you work? "
"Oh I work at Volturi publishing company just two blocks from here "he was curios
"Are you an editor "Bella shook her head
"No, I'm secretary there. "
"How long have you worked there? "
"It's going to be a year next Monday "she said in a quiet voice.
Edward smiled gently at Bella.
As Bella stood up so did Edward, they walked both over to the trashcan throwing out there empty coffee cups.
Walking out of the coffee shop, Edward followed Bella over to where she was standing on the sidewalk.
Playing with a piece of her hair she looked up shyly at Edward she gave him a small smile; he couldn't help but notice how her cheek were a rosy red color.
She cleared her throat and began to speak to Edward "thank you for the coffee. "
"It's no problem "Edward said to while he waved his hand about in the air.
"Ok "as they stood and started at each other taking each other in
" I need to get back to work , " Edward could nocited a sad expression come across Bella face , he was gazing at her face studying her features he was so lost in her that he didn't even hear her voice .
What got his attention was when he heard the word goodbye.
Edward was broken out his thoughts and spit out some words quickly.
"Goodbye. "
Bella duck her head before looking up at him "goodbye and thank you once again. "
He stood there as he watched her walk down the street. As she walked away from him he could not help but feel a longing painful sensation as she walked away, he did not understand what it was, strolling down the street away from the coffee shop . He could not stop thinking about her and the afternoon.
He did not know why he just could not stop thinking about Bella there was something about this girl, trying to clear his thoughts as he walked in the door of his apartment.
The rest of the night went by slowly for Edward he could not seem to focus, as his mind would drift off and it would start thinking about Bella, he wondered what she was doing where she was.
He let out a deep breath while he ran a hand through his hair. Closing his eyes, he saw her smile. He remembered the way he felt when they shook hands it felt as if someone had burnt him with a hot iron.
Letting out a sigh Edward shut off the TV that he was not even paying attention too, and decide to call it a night. while he slept he dreamt of that day that changed his life forever as he tossed in and turned all he could see was the panic and fear in there eyes.
He kept seeing flashes of that day as if it was movie playing repeatedly.
Edward woke up with a gasp he looked around the room while trying to get a hold of his breath, seeing it was only 3:30 in the morning.
He laid back in bed while tears filled his eyes he couldn't't help the sob that escaped his mouth , soon enough he was crying over everything he had lost. If only he had a made, a different choice maybe they would still be here and he would not have to carry around the guilt with him.
Shifting to lay on his side Edward tears kept flowing from his eyes down to his cheeks, each time he closed his eye he would see the faces he couldn't' ever forget it , after a while the tears stopped , slowly he fell back asleep.
The next morning when Edward woke up, he was sad, and, depressed throwing the covers offs himself he walked over to his bathroom where he took a long hot shower.
Throwing on a pair of old jeans with a black shirt, he walked into his kitchen and had some coffee. Edward threw on his jacket and went for his usual walk in the morning.
Stopping off at local grocery store to buy some food , he didn't't buy a lot just what he needed , in next to no time he was on his way back home putting away the food he had bought when his phone rang, closing the door on the fridge he walked over to the phone.
Upon answering the phone, Edward knew it was his very good friend jasper.
"Hey Edward what's up? "
"Nothing much jasper just got in from food shopping "jasper chuckled.
"So how are you doing Edward? "Closing his eye's he answered him in a sad low voice.
"I'm doing fine. "
"well that good I' m glad your doing fine Edward "for a minute there was an awkward silence, Hearing his friend chuckling
"Anyways the reason I called was see how to see how everything is going, also Alice asked me to invite you over for pizza and movie night "
Edward was silent as he listened to jasper finish speaking.
"So, are you going to come Edward ".
"No jasper. "
"Oh come on end I haven't seen for while now "
"I know jasper but I'll come next time "
"So how are things going did you find a job yet? "
"Things are fine and I did not find a job yet anyways jasper I have to go now bye."
Before his friend could say anything else, Edward hanged up the phone feeling a bit mad he made his way back into the kitchen and put everything else in the fridge.
Edward mind kept thinking back to the conversation with his friend jasper , he hand 't seen Jasper in long time he never really spent time with anyone anymore he just never felt like it anymore ever since that day he kept to himself mostly.
Slowly the night passed and soon enough he found himself shutting off his television, walking the short the distance to his bedroom. Getting in bed he laid on his side placing on hand under the pillow Edward started at the window in his room.
He felt his eyes grow heavy he felt himself slip into sleep.
The next morning while Bella was quickly getting ready for work she could not help but think of Edward. She remembered when she came back from the coffee shop how Alice questioned her.
Bella told Alice about Edward how he turned out to be the one who saved her that night. As soon, she mentioned his name Bella swore she saw something pass through Alice eyes.
She did not know what it was but Bella was curious why Alice had acted strange for second upon hearing Edward name.
Dumping the rest of her coffee in the sink, she grabbed her coat and purse left for work.
The whole day seemed to drag on as Bella thought, time was ticking away slowly on the clock, Alice kept shooting glances at her friend wondering is she was ok.
"Hey Bella are you ok seem kind of out it today? "
Looking up from the computer screen Bella saw Alice giving her a side way glance.
"Yeah, Alice I'm fine".
"Are you sure?" Bella took a breath.
"Yup Alice don't worry about. "
"Ok "Alice looked at Bella once more and went back to working.
Around four Bella started to close down her computer, grabbing her coat, purse she waited for Alice to the same. They both walked down to there cars in the parking lot.
"Bye Alice. "
"Bye Bella call you later don't forget you and me shopping tomorrow got it. "
"Ok, Alice talk to you later "she laughed at her friend energy Alice was always in happy cheery mood, closing the door to her car Bella started up and made her way home.
When Bella got home, she changed from her work clothes and into two a pair of jeans with a hoodie, sitting down on her couch to watch TV during a commercial break she felt hungry.
Going into her kitchen Bella grabbed a frozen pizza and threw it in the oven; after she had eaten her dinner Bella was sitting on her couch, watching TV feeling somewhat bored she decided that she would go for a walk.
Getting up from the couch Bella threw on her coat, grabbing her keys, cell phone, she locked up her apartment and headed for her walk.
On her walk Bella thought about many thing's but the one thing she could not 'shake from her mind was Edward she did not' know what it was about him, but he was different somehow.
Not realizing where she was walking Bella looked up.
She saw that she had arrived at a park walking through the path.
Bella came across some benches but as got closer and closer, Bella saw him sitting there on the third bench.
Not sure if it was him or not she walked more slowly as the closer she got , Bella indeed realized that it was Edward taking a closer look at him , seeing that he was there starting at something.
Taking a deep breath, she thought should I go and say hi to him or just turn around and go back home.
Biting her bottom lip, she stole another quick glance at him, getting the courage in her Bella walked up to where he was sitting.
Edward saw a shadow standing beside him swiftly glancing at the person next him.
He saw that it was Bella.
She meets his gaze.
He didn't't understand what she was doing here in the park clearing his throat
"Hi, "he said to her in a quiet voice.
Bella was surprised at tone of his voice it sounded cheerless to her.
"Hey, how are you? " Edward looked at Bella
"I' m ok you? " Bella smiled at Edward.
"I' m fine," Edward nocited that Bella was still standing.
"Are you just going to stand there or sit down? "
Bella looked at Edward she saw that he a small grin on his face , as she sat down Edward didn't't understand what it was about but from seeing her yesterday and now it made him smile.
As she sat down Bella wondered what Edward was doing out here at this time all by himself, Edward turned and gave Bella a small smile.
She returned the smile, as they both sat in silence for a while, Edward felt a sense a clam when she was near he nocited this yesterday.
"So, do you come to this park often? "Bella shook her head.
"No "as he faced her Bella blushed.
"Then why did you come by here then? "
"I got bored and decided to go for walk. "
He listened to her as she spoke.
"Do you come here a lot? " Edward nodded his head.
"I find it peaceful I come here just to sit and think. " Bella looked at Edward as he said the last part of his sentence. She just watched as leaned against the bench.
Edward looked over at her giving her a small grin.
Bella looked around the park she nocited it was quite big .Edward was still looking at her.
A breeze of cold air blew by them Bella shrived from the cold air as so did Edward
"Wow, it's getting pretty cold ".
Edward nodded "yeah, "glancing over at Bella he saw looking around the park.
They just sat there for a little while longer until Edward stretched his arms over his head settling them beside his knees. Bella changed her position on the bench she tucked one leg under the other.
Some time after they sat in silence.
Getting up from the bench Edward saw her stand, he got up off the bench as well they were both standing facing each. Looking at his face Bella saw a heartbreaking look on his face she wanted to know why he always looked sad.
As the wind picked up, Edward quickly glanced towards her.
"It was nice to see you again Bella "
She smiled at him softly
"You too Edward "
Moving closer to her, he offered his hand to her.
Bella took her hand her hand in his, as they shook hand is they both felt that electric tingling sensation as the other day. For some reason Edward did not want to let go of her hand this was the second time when he touched Bella's hand that he felt something other then anxiety, stress, sadness, Bella gently removed her hand from his.
Pulling his hand back from hers he wondered what the feeling was. Bella looked at him smiling at him gently, the wind blew past Bella shook from the cold Turing around, and she started to move away from Edward until she heard him yell her name
"Bella wait "stopping where she was.
Edward hurried up and walked over to where she was.
Giving her a small smile "I wanted to ask you something "
Bella felt the heat rise to her cheeks "ok "
Feeling nervous "do you want to grab a cup of coffee with me "
Grinning at him Bella said "sure "
They both walked from the park and down to the coffee house.
