Chapter 4


3rd POV

Isabella sat on the bed, the phone in her hand as tears pooled in her eyes. She had made the phone call to Edward and was on the phone with him for over an hour.

"Love, I didn't expect you to call till later" Edward answered surprised.

Bella took a deep breath before speaking. "What's happened to us Edward?"

A deep sigh came from the other end of the line, "I don't know Bella, I just don't know… I love you, I do, but the spark… just… isn't there anymore" he whispers out causing a sob to catch in her throat.

"I know… I love you too Edward, but we haven't been us for a very long time and I'm just seeing that now… Maybe we can use this time to think about what we want. I love you very much and I want us to work this out." she cried causing Edward quickly try and soothe her.

"Me too love, me too. I don't know what went wrong, but I would still like for us to be together and hopefully work our way out of this little bump." he cooed softly, tears too in his eyes and throat tight.

They had agreed to let these two weeks happen, have a sort of break and then when the two weeks were up, they would see where they stand. They would always be friends if it never worked out; they were friends for a long time before being together.

"How'd it go?" Rosalie asked softly from the door, causing Bella to look up at her and sniffle.

"Good as it can be; he agreed to the break. We will still be friends, but we're going to take this break to think and then see where we stand when we see each other in two weeks." She sniffled out, causing Rosalie to nod and move to hug her sister.

"That's good, it is Bella. We've all noticed over the years that you have becoming so lonely and so sad and bored with your job and life. Now let's get you ready, it's almost lunch time and I am starving, I know for sure the fair is open, Peter sent me a message two hours ago saying so." Rosalie sighed out exasperated, causing Bella to giggle slightly.

"That Peter knows things. It's kind of creepy sometimes" she giggled, causing Rosalie to join in and agree.

"True… Now let's get you ready for the fair."

~Xxx~

Nahuel sat on a haystack near the entrance with a cool bottle of water while the two brothers and Garrett had a beer.

"I love this fair, but I swear the work gets more and more each year." Garrett groaned, chugging the rest of his drink and chucking the bottle in the bin. The boys couldn't help but agree, it's already lunch and they had just finished placing the hay around the arena and food area.

"I think it's because more people are coming due to population growth and the holiday season." Peter stated, his phone in his hand.

"Texting Rosalie?" Jasper asked.

"Yeah, she and Bells are almost here… Uh, Bell and Ed are on a break, so he is a no-go-mention-zone today." He said, giving the boys around him a sharp look. Nahuel didn't know who Ed was, but he figured it was her partner.

"Nahuel, can you come help out in the stables?" Randall asked. He was the one who breeds and trains the horses; he was also the owner of the grounds the fair is placed on.

"Unlucky, the girls are here" Jasper teased him, causing him to scowl. He knew he had bad luck when it came to meeting Bella, Emmett's sister.

~xXx~

Pulling up, Isabella was pulled from the cab and squashed between her brother-in-laws.

"We missed you, squirt." Jasper teased, ruffling her hair.

"Still a bean I see, Jasper." she retorted quickly with a smile causing Rose and Pete to laugh at his scowling face.

"Very funny Bells, Angie will be here soon before you ask. She had to run to town to grab some supplies for her stall." Jasper told her as she opened her mouth to ask where her sister-in-law to be was.

"Where's the fourth musketeer?" Rosalie asked, causing Bella to look at her, confused.

"Bad luck. Randall called him to help with the horses." Peter told her, holding back chuckles while the others just let it go.

"Figures. Now, I am starving, let's get food!" She ordered, herding them toward the ticket booth so she and Bella could pay, and then headed toward the food stalls.

Looking around as they stood in line she felt her heart clench; she was once again surrounded by happy families and loving couples.

"Hey Rosalie, I'm going to find the bathrooms," Bella told Rose before taking off in a random direction, any direction to get away from the couples, her head down as she went.

Without looking where she was going, she collided with someone with a loud oomph.

"I'm so sorry... I didn't see…" She spluttered before trailing off as she looked up, her heart skipping a beat as she lost herself in teal coloured eyes.

"I'm so sorry, Ma'am…" Nahuel spluttered at the same time as he caught her. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, soft mahogany hair with red and gold tints, the softest brown eyes that held and sparkled with so much emotion.

"It's okay, I didn't mean to run into you…?" she trailed off, wanting to know the handsome man's name.

"Na…huel… Nahuel Clarkson" he introduced himself quickly, his voice cracking on his name causing her to giggle slightly.

"Nice to meet you Nahuel, I'm Bella, Bella Swan." His eyes went wide as her name reached his ears. This goddess in front of him was Emmett's sister, Emmett's very taken sister, and even if she was 'on a break' she was still engaged.

Gently and slowly taking her hand in his, he couldn't help but smile.

"Nice to finally meet you, Bella, I'm friends with your brothers."


A/N: Well what do you think so far? What do you think of their first meeting? This is the end of the FAGE piece, but I will continue it if you want me too.
