I was walking home thinking of Bella and what had just happened. I asked her to be safe and not just that, I kind of gave away just how obsessed I am with her. I can t believe I said if anything happens to you I don t know what ill do. What was I thinking what if she thinks I m a total love struck freak? But wait! She told me to be careful also. Yes, but she didn't make it sound all lovey dovey. Great! I hope things aren't awkward between us tomorrow when I see her again.
I had just arrived at home, when my Mother called out to me.
"Edward dear is that you?"
"Yes mother it is!" I replied. My Mother and I are very close we have to be she's all that I ve got and I m all that she's got. It's been like that ever since my father, Edward senior has gone to war to serve his country. When I m of age I will be serving my country also. When I was younger it use to be my dream, what else could ever be better than protecting innocent people and holding a gun and feeling so in control. To have people look up to you and respect you so much. Nothing!! Well that's what I would have said but so much has changed. My poor Mother wouldn't be able to cope with my leaving her, and I wouldn't be able to bear being the cause of her heart break. And then there was Bella, the reason I wake up in the morning and the reason I smile. Bella, with her long brown hair and beautiful big brown eyes. Bella, the love of my life.
I'm still going to go and serve my country but I think I might wait till my Father's time is up there so he will be back and can stay with my Mother. As for Bella she can never love me as I love her. I will miss her terribly but she will understand. And if I survive, when I come back me and her can still be the best of friends and she will be married and have children. As much as that breaks my heart to think that I know that Bella would be happy and that s the thing that counts.
"Bella says hi, Mother" I said to her only just remembering Bella s request.
"Oh well when you see her dear will you say hi to her for me also?"
My Mother thought of Bella as a daughter and Bella thought of my Mother as a second Mother.
"Will do!" I said smiling, remembering that's exactly what I had said to Bella.
I began to help my Mother around the house thinking of none other than Bella Swan.
