Chapter 29
I have to admit, I panicked.
"What do y-you mean?" I stammered.
"I know hearing that your movie is bust must be upsetting, but it wasn't that good anyway," she waved off the movie as if it was rubbish. "There will be plenty of other opportunities in L.A."
"I'm not talking about the stupid movie… I'm talking about moving! Mom, I don't want to move!"
"What are you talking about, of course you do! It's going to be fantastic! With connections like Phil, you are going to be an even bigger star!"
"That's exactly what I don't care about, I don't care if I never make another movie again! I like it here in Forks and I'm not moving!" I said stubbornly.
"Isabella Marie Swan. You are coming with me and that is final!" She was getting angry now, her face was going red.
"Mom, in a few months I will be an adult! And until that day comes, I'm staying with Charlie! You can't stop me!" I had one the argument by the look on her face. She had realised there was nothing she could do to stop me. I was going to stay.
"You'll be sorry when I cut you off from everything!" she spat. "You'll never be famous again!"
"I couldn't care less," I told her truthfully. "But I must point out, that it is my money and so I think I'll be keeping that."
She was no longer angry, she was fuming.
"How dare you. How dare you!" she fumed. "Threatening to cut me off, how dare you!"
"You sound like you can make it on your own, become Phil's assistant or something," I suggested. A few people had turned round and stared at us for a few moments, wondering what all the fuss was about.
Mom just stared at me, making me quite uncomfortable. I didn't want things to end on a bad note between us so I decided to apologize.
"Look, I'm sorry Mom but I love everything about Forks. I've not had a normal life for quite a while so it was nice to settle down and just enjoy myself! But it's really grown on me and I enjoy it so much that I want to stay, I really think it is the best thing for me. Please understand?" I begged her. Her hard exterior seemed to crumble and she let out a large sigh.
"I know that it has been quite hard on you and I probably should have settled us into a permanent home sooner. Are you sure this is what you want?" She added hopefully.
"I'm sure."
"Alright then."
We stood up and looked at each other, engulfed in an awkward silence. She sighed again.
"I'm going to miss you, Bella."
Tears clouded my vision as I memorized her face.
"I'm going to miss you too, Mom."
We hugged each other, tears streaming down both our faces. And all too soon, we were saying goodbye.
"Have a safe trip back to Forks."
"And you to L.A. I hope everything works out with Phil."
"I have a good feeling about this one."
We hugged one last time and then we departed. I had to pull over on the highway as I couldn't see for the tears. I had no idea that I was this emotional when it came to saying goodbyes.
When I finally got back home I went straight to the Cullen's house. There was a difference in the mood as I entered the house, I could tell that already. It seemed lighter and not as heavy as it had been before. I barely walked down the hallway when there was a blur and I was on my back on the floor.
"Alice, get off!" I laughed. But when I pulled back to look at the little pixie vampire, that's not who I saw. It was Yvonne.
"Yvonne!" I gasped. "You're alive!"
"Yes I'm alive!" she giggled. "Well, technically I'm not alive, I'm undead but you know what I mean." She giggled again. She was so hyper, as if she was full of this unused energy which I suppose she was. She was technically dead for a few days.
"I'm so glad to see you!" I wrapped my arms around her neck and didn't let go for five minutes. I whispered into her ear, "Edward's been a wreck without you, he wouldn't even talk to me! I'm so glad I will be able to be with him now."
Yvonne laughed. "Edward's an idiot!" she said loudly. "Imagine worrying about his sister and not even talking to his girlfriend about it! Ridiculous!"
This time I was the one to giggle. There was a slight breeze then a pair of hands wrapped around my waist and pulled me up. I grinned as I turned to meet Edward, thankful that I could kiss his lips after a few days without them. He pulled me up to meet his mouth and kissed me with a passion that I had never expected. When he finally let me go I was dizzy and out of breath.
"If that is how you're going to kiss me after a few days of not doing so, then I should withhold kisses more often," I teases him.
"Don't you dare," he said, ducking back down and pecking me on the lips.
"Well, that was a sight to see, I think if I was human I would go and throw up," Yvonne informed us. "Now, if you will excuse me, I need to find a little tasty bunny rabbit to feed on before I go insane and try and eat Bella."
I laughed and she grinned, running out the door.
"Do you want to go up to the roof?" Edward asked me.
"Sure," I smiled.
He carried me up there and I sat between his legs, my head resting against his chest.
"I have something to tell you," I started. Edward tensed up beneath me.
"What is wrong?" he asked, panicking a little. I turned to face him.
"Nothing's wrong, it's just my film has been cancelled and my mom wants me to move to L.A. with her." I watched as pain flitted across Edward's face.
"And are you going?" he asked, it looked as if he wasn't quite sure whether or not he wanted to know the answer.
"Of course not," I told him. "I wouldn't want to leave my dad." Pain flitted across his face again.
"Listen, Bella. I'm sorry I haven't been talking lately, but with Yvonne…" I interrupted him their by placing my finger over his mouth to silence him.
"And I could also , never, ever, think about leaving you, Edward. You are my life and soul and it would literally tear me to pieces if we were ever to be apart. I love you."
"I love you too," he told me before crushing my mouth with his. He let go and we sat together, me in his arms, until sunset and everything was right in the world again.
