Hey guys! I'm going away to camp from the 22nd to the 27th, so don't expect any updates after this one! I won't be able to write until I get back, but I assure you that I will. I'm sorry! Thanks for reading.
DAY 1
BELLA POV
I woke up at about 5 in the morning, taking a minute to realize where I was. I was in Alice's motel room, the comforter wrapped around me, stealing it from Alice. I rolled out of the bed and put on Edward's sweatshirt I had been wearing yesterday. I left Alice snoring loudly, and made my way to kitchen to make hot chocolate. There was a dull ache in my stomach, something weird that wouldn't go away. I felt bad that I couldn't give Edward what he wanted, and that I had left without explanation. I felt scared of what would happen to our friendship now. At about seven, when Alice had woken, and we were sitting quietly on the couch watching TV, my phone rang shrilly. Seeing that it wasn't Edward, I picked up quickly.
"Hello?"
"Is this Isabella Swan?" The voice said.
"Yes." I said, confused.
"This is the Four Seasons, we have it on our records that you were staying with Mr. Masen, am I right?" He asked. I gulped.
"Yes, why?"
"Would you by any chance know where he is?" They asked politely. I felt a weight sinking to the pit of my stomach,
"No." I whispered. "Is he not there? That's where I saw him last." I told the man on the phone. He sighed, thanking me and hanging up. Apparently Edward had checked out a day early, and they needed to contact him. I told Alice this, and she looked worried as well, though I'm sure he was only going home. He was probably on a plane right now. But minutes later, I got another phone call. This time it was Brooke's voice that shouted at me over the receiver. She sounded panicked, stressed out beyond belief.
"Bella!" She yelled. "Where's Edward?" She asked me.
"I don't know." I told her honestly, a worried feeling settling in.
"Is he with you?" She asked.
"No, I just said I don't know." I said.
"Well no one can find him or get in touch with him, and he has another presentation dinner tonight. There are talent agents with us!" She nearly shrieked.
"If I get word of him, I'll tell you." I said, and she thanked me quickly before hanging up. I turned to Alice, who had turned down the TV. She looked at me expectantly.
"No one knows where he is." I said quietly.
"Calm down Bells, he's probably on his way home now." She said soothingly. I tried to tell myself this, but I just had this feeling that Edward wouldn't do that. Besides, he had my suitcase with him. "We'll call my mom later and see if he's there."
EDWARD POV
I had left last night on impulse, not caring about the dinner or anything else but to get away. Now, I woke up in a dinghy motel room all the way across town. There was a low buzz coming from the old refrigerator, and as I opened it restlessly, it just got louder. I sighed, getting dressed. I looked again at the text Alice had sent me the night before, running a hand across my hair.
If you get the urge to come and maybe apologize or work this out with her, we are at the Sunny View Motel a couple streets down from your hotel.
Why Alice was in New York, I couldn't fathom. But you never know with Alice, she probably claimed she had some sort of vision. I hauled my suitcase and Bella's, which I had taken from the hotel with me, down to the front desk of this motel, and checked out. I climbed into a cab that was waiting restlessly in the parking lot, and directed him to Bella and Alice's motel. When we got there, I dropped Bella's suitcase of at the front desk, telling them who it was for. I climbed back into the cab with a pang of regret in my stomach. Bella probably didn't want to see me. I told the cab driver to drive me all the way to New Jersey, and settled back in my seat, flipping my new Ipod over and over in my hands, it's shin silver back reflecting my face.
Reviews anyone?
