"BELLA!" I shouted as she ran for the pier. "BELLA!" I heard her tinkling laugh as she carried on running for the edge. I chased after her, and caught her by the waist before she could jump.
"Hey! What the hell? Why can't I jump?" She asked, irritation in her voice.
"The red flag is up." I pointed to the flag that was attached to the pier and then the one that was pointed at the lifeguard's chair. "Danger." I mumbled.
"Well I want to jump. I'll be fine." I tightened my grip on her waist, and then picked her up and walked back down the pier, ignoring her high pitched screams and shouts.
"Let go! EDWARD!" She hit my back, then stopped altogether. I wondered for a moment, before I jumped as she pinched my ass. I smirked and carried on walking.
"Put me down, Edward." She softened her tone, and I let her go. She laughed as she knocked the sunglasses off my face and they fell to the floor. As I went to pick them up, I lost the feeling of her presence near me. I turned around, then did a double take. Bella was running for the pier again.
"Shit." I muttered and ran for her again. "Bella! Don't screw me around like that! It's dangerous! BELLA!" She leaped and dived into the strong waves. I ran to the edge and looked over to the sea. I waited for a few seconds, panicked, as she hadn't returned to the surface again. "Bella? I'm coming in!" I then moved to the side as to not jump on top of her, and then I felt a push at my back, sending me off the edge into the deep water...
I jumped as I awoke, and it took a minute for me to realise that I was in my bed, with Bella in my arms. I relaxed, and she turned over in my arms, already awake.
"What was that?" She peered at me, and I rested my forehead on hers.
"Bad dream." I mumbled.
"What was it about?" She asked, shutting her eyes and resting her head on my arm.
"We were on a pier, and you were going to jump in dangerous waves." I recalled. "You then distracted me and jumped anyway. You hadn't come up for breath, and I was scared. I was going to jump in for you when someone shoved me, so I went in anyway." Bella opened her eyes in amazement.
"I remember that." was all she said, and my ears pricked up in interest.
"You do?"
"yeah." Bella sat up a little on her arms. "Um...that was me, shoving you in. I swam to the stairs from underwater. T'was pretty funny." I laughed with her.
"It's weird to have you recall some memories like that, and have you not remember them in the same way I do. Like you tell it like you weren't there, with no emotional attachment." I shrugged.
"It's difficult, but at least I'm remembering." Bella nodded enthusiastically. "And I'm glad you took me back..." Bella leaned up to kiss my lips lightly.
"No question. It was just...difficult to understand, when we had gotten so far." I nodded in agreement.
"I really want to remember it all, but I don't think...I'm not sure...whether...if I could get there again. What things had I missed throughout the year? More than a year in fact, more like a year and a half. Everyday is worth knowing, especially when it was a day with you. I've forgotten the most important things...birthdays, school, being with friends, losing my virginity with you, being with you, knowing what it was like without you...I still can't believe it's disappeared, or locked up." Bella patted my cheek.
"It's okay. It wasn't your fault." I buried my face in her neck and we got comfortable, no conversation needed.
About half an hour later, my muscles started to cramp so I took a shower with Bella in my en suite and we had a little fun on the way *wink* and then we made our way downstairs after getting changed. Em and Rose were at the breakfast bar eating cereal and Jake had his head in the fridge.
"Jake put a shirt on, you're dazzling my woman." I told him, covering Bella's eyes as she smiled. Nessie came walking down the stairs, wearing Jake's shirt. I eyed them suspiciously. How old was Nessie again? 16? 17? The memory loss made it a tad more confusing so I just knew she was legal...but so soon?
"Bella." I whispered in her ear. "How long had we known each other before we lost it to each other?" I put my hands down. Bella thought for a moment, and then answered.
"Maybe a week?" Oh.
"OK then. Next question. How long have Jake and Nessie known each other?"
"Longer than we had."
"OK I'll wait for Em to react, because I'd be a hypocrite if I said anything." Technically Jake doesn't know how long me and Bella waited, so why shouldn't I react? No need to wonder. Emmett froze when he saw Nessie, and as the pieces placed themselves together, he started choking and spluttering. Rose smacked him on the back as he recovered and he then gave them the stink eye.
"Remember what I said Jake."
"Er...yeah I remember." Jake went back to being distracted by the food in the fridge. I wonder how cold his face is right now. I wanted to be the protective brother over Nessie, but I knew Jake. He wouldn't hurt her intentionally.
"What's this?" Nessie asked as she poured herself some coffee. "Emmett..." She warned.
"Nothing for you to worry about, sweet." Emmett batted his eyelashes like a girl, and Nessie went over to him and pushed his face away.
"Don't do that. It's freaky."
"Okay. Shall we all watch another movie today?" Emmett asked Nessie.
"We have school today, duh!" Nessie went over to the counter to pour some milk in her drink. Successfully changed topic. Well done Emmett.
"Oh. Okay, well we best get ready. What time is it?"
"7." Nessie checked the kitchen clock.
"Wait, really? Why am I so awake?"
"And why is it so light outside?" I wondered out loud, peering around the corner to see out through the window. I looked back at the clock, and speculated for a moment. Then the pieces added up. The second handle wasn't moving.
"Shit. I think we've missed some of school, if not most of it." I checked the living room clock. Oh My God. It was noon.
"We've overslept big time. Didn't you set your alarm?" Rose asked, panicked. We all shook our heads.
"I forgot." I said.
"I was too...preoccupied." Nessie answered, glancing at Jake. Ugh. Gross.
"Well don't expect me to set my alarm, I broke it two months ago. You all had to wake me up before..." Em raised his hands. I shrugged.
"No point going to school now. I can't do sport anyway. Wanna watch a movie?"
"Okay." We all replied simultaneously.
We all decided on going to the rental DVD store and we chose to watch Inception, as we were already watching it in Film Studies, and we had missed part of it today.
"Holy shit this is a cool film." Emmett joked when the first picture popped up. He threw a piece of popcorn in the air and tired to catch it, but Rose caught it in her hand before he could do so, and ate it. Emmett looked around, confused, and we all burst out laughing. The film was confusing to start, and we commented a lot on how they managed to keep the bodies floating in mid air.
"It can't possibly be wires for that, probably wires for when that guy is messing with the top of the elevator, but not for the three people together..." Jazz said, confused.
"Is that the girl off Juno?" Emmett asked. Alice nodded and we all exclaimed in the great success of remembering what film she was in.
"I thought everyone already knew that!" Alice sighed, shaking her head. "It's like saying. Hey Leonardo Di Caprio, are you from those huge films, Titanic and Romeo and Juliet?"
"They have a lot of famous people in this film. Isn't that guy from (500) days of Summer?" Bella wondered. "He's hot...and looks familiar?" She added when I pouted at her. "Honestly, I think I've seen someone like him before..." Alice nodded.
"I know what you mean...he is completely gorgeous...but not like Jazz by far." She kissed Jazz softly on the lips, and I gave Bella my best puppy dog eyes. Bella smirked and ignored me. I rolled my eyes. Some love, eh? "That guy who they are tricking, he's off that film about the plane!" Alice exclaimed. "Um...I forgot the name...Ooh OOH what was it?"
"Red Eye." Jazz finished her sentence. Alice smirked at him.
"Thank you, Honey." Alice patted his cheek.
When the film finished, we were all shouting, disputing on what the last scene meant.
"He is IN A DREAM!" Alice shouted, and Jazz covered his ears. "It kept on spinning!"
"No Alice." Bella shook her head. "It was wobbling, didn't you see? We can easily rewind it for your poor eyes to witness...?"
"Uh, no. I know what I saw and it definitely didn't fall. In a dream it would keep on spinning, like Leonardo did to his wife in doing inception, which planted the idea in her head herself! It didn't fall!"
"Alice! When it was a dream, it spun constantly, no wobbles. That last spin wobbled like a fucking jelly! It wasn't a dream! And if it was, when he died of 'old age' he'd be back to his old self, wouldn't he? YES!"
"I don't know, but he is in a dream!"
"No-"
"OKAY BELLA AND ALICE! Calm...down..." Jazz cooled the atmosphere like an ice cube. "I'm not on anyone's side...Let's check Wikipedia." We all nodded and headed for the laptop. Rose typed a few things and then read down the page.
She shook her head. "It just says how it is left to our own perspective, if we think it is a dream or not, it's up to you." Bella and Alice shook their heads.
"Well there has to be one conclusion. Majority rules?" They shook hands and called out. "Who thinks it was a dream?" Alice, Em, Jake and Jazz put their hands up. I groaned.
"It's half and half. This won't work...Jazz, leave the room. You said you had no opinion on it."
Alice scoffed. "that would make you have the majority. Why don't you lose one of your side?" She crossed her arms. I gave Jake a look.
"Nessie." I whispered at her. She looked up at me, interested. "Get Jake on our side. Solve the issue." She nodded and sent him a text. I saw his eyes go wide and he turned to Alice.
"I've changed my mind. It isn't a dream." Bella yelped in victory. On one side I was glad it was solved, but the other side was feeling a part of Nessie and Jake's sex lives, which grossed me out. I don't want to know what that text said.
"Okay. Done. Wasn't a dream. Let it go now..." I told everyone, and Alice sulked. Bella grinned, as Mom walked through the door.
"Hi. How was school?" We all murmured a response and I was glad Mom hadn't noticed our lack of response. "Wanna help unload? Great, thanks!" We all then spent our time unloading and putting the food in the right places.
"I brought batteries when I went shopping, for the clock. It broke this morning." I noticed how her nails seemed to be manicured and I raised an eyebrow at her. "Okay, I may have gone out shopping early for...a clothes sale at the mall." She said in a quiet and quick voice. Alice screamed.
"A SALE? WITHOUT ME? WHY?" Alice ran into Jazz's arms, and then went to find the clothing bags. "how much was it, what did you get? Was there anything that I'd have liked? Shoes? Accessories?" I pitied the poor girl. A shopaholic...
"Alice, we have to go home. We haven't been at home for a while now." Alice sighed and looked at the bags longingly.
"Can we stop of at the mall first?" Alice pleaded.
"Maybe later. It will only hurt more if you go today." Bella soothed Alice and Bella then ran upstairs. I followed her and she was collecting any stuff she left behind.
"Text me." I said as I pulled her to me, kissing her sweetly. She pulled back and smirked.
"Don't worry." She said as she grabbed her bag and dashed downstairs. "Come on Alice. Gotta get get..." She jerked her head in the direction of the door and I saw that Jazz and Rose were heading out as well. Alice sighed and went towards Jazz, taking his hand, and I walked to the door and with Bella as they threw their bags in their car. I pulled her hips towards mine and gave her an open mouthed kiss.
"I love you." I whispered, like it was the first time. She smiled brightly at me and repeated my words.
"I love you too. So much." She kissed me once again and then departed with Alice in the car. I sighed in contentment as I watched them drive awya, and once I couldn't see the car anymore, I walked back to the house. Jake was walking out of the house, and Nessie was walking behind him. They both left and sped off on Jake's finished motorbike, and I went back to my bed to smell the pillows. Boy, was I whipped like cream with Bella and me. I adore her. I must be at the same level of love as I was, right? I can't be totally sure, but I love her a lot, so is that it?
What did previous Edward do that's similar to me now? Did I act like I loved you more than I act now? E xxxxx
Um...I'm not sure. I think if you did one thing right, then I'd know for certain... Bxxxx
Are you saying that you don't think I love you right? E xxx
No I just remember one thing that Edward used to do, when we fell asleep together, but if I point it out, then we won't know for sure. You'll get paranoid. B xxxx
Well keep a look out for that thing I did. ;) E xxxxx
Will do. Love you. B xxxxx
Love you too Isabella Swan :) E xxxxx
BPOV
I stared at the text message for at least half and hour, thinking in my head that this was it. This was the sign I was waiting for. Long story short, I made up the thing about Edward showed how much he loved me when we fell asleep together, to knock Edward off the track, so I would know whether he loves me rather than Edward trying to be his old self. I scrolled through my inbox to the last text Edward had sent me before the accident.
I love you Isabella Swan ;) E xxxx
Was this it? Did he love me as much as he had? My heart soared and I burst with happiness. I remember the text I had off him that night, and it made me feel that I couldn't love him anymore, my heart was just too full of the love. But that text made me realise that I could love Edward more than I expected, more than I could take, and he felt the same way.
I wouldn't tell Edward of my discovery, as I think it might be exciting to see what Edward will try to do to show me how much he loves me when we're in bed. I smiled to myself as I sank to the bed and tucked myself in fort the night.
...
The next morning I dressed quicker than usual, and checked my emails. I had kept close contact with Angela and Jess and some other people from England, but not as close as I could be. Conversation lacked, besides the big stuff.
Bella,
So is Edward okay then? Oh course we're worried Bella! It's so coincidental how you end up bang face together, out of every state in America :)
Angela and Jess :) xxxxxxx
Angela and Jess,
Edward is fine, but you know how I explained that he'd lost his memory of me? Well I think it's coming back. Not so sure yet, so don't get your hopes up. i'll let you know if his condition gets better/worse.
Bella =]
xxxxxxxxxxxx
I went downstairs to get some breakfast, and then Alice came down and shared my cereal with me. Yay. Note the sarcasm.
"Fix your own brekkie, Alice." I mumbled, with food in my mouth.
"Don't talk with your mouth full. It's rude."
"Well what else is rude? Oh, I know! Stealing other people's food and eating it." Alice didn't stop, so we had a twin challenge on who can eat the most. I think I won, but Alice looked pretty smug with herself, so I'm not sure.
"School time!" Alice hopped up from her chair and got her bag, me following, heading for our car. Alice drove, while I sat in the back, as we were picking Rose and Jazz up too. Rose deliberately sat next to Alice, grinning as she stopped Jazz and Alice from their usual personal display of affection in front of us in the car. Jazz sat next to me and pretended he didn't know the difference between the two identical twins.
"Hey Jazz! What where you put those hands and lips." I warned him as he kissed my cheek. He grinned at me, and Alice pouted, and somehow they still managed the PDA, but now Rose and I couldn't converse by facial expressions on how inappropriate they were being kissing in front of us, because we couldn't see each other! I sent her a text.
Rose!
I heard Rose's ring tone sound, making Jazz and Alice separate, and I giggled. Rose checked her phone and winked at me as we drove off.
"What do we say when they ask why we were not at school yesterday?" Rose asked.
"Um...I don't know." Jazz replied casually. "Say that our folks took us on a camping trip because it was sunny."
"Was it even sunny yesterday?" I pondered. Jazz shrugged.
"I don't know. Okay, story is that our folks took us camping together. End of." We all nodded in response. We got to school, and I jumped into Edward's arms. Jazz said to the rest of our group.
"We weren't at school yesterday because we went on a camping trip." Edward looked puzzled.
"For a day?" Jazz nodded once.
"Uhuh."
"Erm...okay then?"
"Yep."
"I'll just go with it." he mumbled under his breath. I smirked and hugged him tighter. He wrapped his arms around me and gave me a little squeeze.
"What's got you so psyched?" Edward asked me, but I just planted my lips onto his, and we began our daily routine make out session. He smiled against my lips, then we were forced apart by two people.
"Can you two stop doing that?" Alice and Jazz asked. "We are talking." I scoffed.
"Follow your own advice in the car every morning when we pick you up." I raised one eyebrow and Rose laughed out loud.
"Good one Bells!" I smirked, challenging them to respond to that. Jazz cleared his throat.
"Carry on." And me and Edward did, laughing. The bell went, and we made our way to our lessons. When gym came up, I happily watched on the bleachers the year do gymnastics, and Bella and Alice were quite the gymnasts. Must've learnt it back in England. I wondered if I could test Bella's flexibility in the bedroom...I smirked to myself as Bella did a controlled routine, which involved flips and cart wheels and handstands to forward rolls...they got out the beams and Bella and her friends had fun balancing on it for laughs, and I saw the boys try impress the girls on the mats, which was funny. I told Coach that I wouldn't be able to try out for him after all, and explained why, and he said that it was okay, and he saw me play yesterday, and thinks I should go for the basketball team, if not the football team also, but he'll decide once I've healed. I thanked him and waited outside for my friends. I saw Vicky head my way and I tried my best to look preoccupied with my phone, and sent Bella a 'hurry up!' text. Vicky tapped my shoulder, and I reluctantly looked up at her.
"What?" I said in monotone. She looked shocked.
"Why are you so rude? I thought you were more of a gentleman before you hit your head." Vicky shook her head, and touched my cheek. I pulled back immediately. "How are you? You were bleeding before. I was worried. And where were you yesterday? Anyone who's anybody knows you can't camp for a day."
"How would you know, Vick?" I spat. "You don't camp. Your nail may split, or even worse...break!" I mocked her sarcastically. Vicky tutted at me, and if I weren't a guy, I would have hit that fake nose of hers. Why did I ever date her?
"I'm just worried, Eddie-"
"-don't call me that."
"Eddie, I was worried about you! Ever since you've gone off with that bimbo, you've been acting weirder." I felt my eyes harden at Vicky calling Bella...that... but they softened when I knew the reason for me acting weirder. I was in love.
"That is what you call being in LOVE, Vick, not something you could find." I said angrily. "And don't ever call Bella that ever again, you hear?"
Vicky scoffed. "Right, if that's what you call love then I never want to find somebody." She rolled her eyes.
"Well I hope you don't. You don't deserve something as strong as love. What we had was nothing, so get out of my fucking face!" I stepped forward and then walked off, into the guys changing room, waiting for them to hurry up. Emmett was tying his shoe lace and Jazz was stuffing his kit in the locker. Some younger kid walked in and started talking to his friends as he got changed for after school sport.
"Hey! I just saw Edward Cullen and his ex Vicky getting pretty close just outside! His was looking at her like he loved her! I mean, Vicky is hot, but eurgh. Don't want to get close enough to check if her face is as bitchy as her personality!" I froze and looked at Jazz, who looked confused. I went up to the boy, who when he noticed me, looked like he had just shit his pants.
"What's your name?" I asked calmly. His mouth dropped open, and it showed his silver braces.
"E-E-Eric." He stuttered.
"Well, Eric, I wasn't getting cosy with Vicky, for the record. I shall never see past those many flaws of hers. Did anyone else see?" Eric shrugged.
"My friend Maggie..." I winced. "...she told me and a couple of people what she saw, and when I past I saw it for myself." Eric responded. I gave Em a look, and he was in a defensive posture.
"Okay. Make sure you text or tell Maggie immediately that it isn't true, as well as anyone you can find. Said my Edward Cullen himself." It felt weird to address my first and surname, but I hope that this wasn't like some high school gossip that goes round, with Vicky at the top, confirming that we'd get together. Okay, forget that. Vicky WOULD do that. I sighed.
"Okay, let's roll." I walked out and met up with Bella, hugging her. I noticed people give me and Bella odd and pitiful looks as they passed by. I groaned.
"Bella. I need to tell you something." I turned her around.
"I already know, Edward." She said in a distant voice.
"It's not true, Bella, believe me."
Bella sighed. "I believe you."
I pulled her to me "Please just ignore the looks and comments. None of it is true, I was waiting here and she came up to me and started to bitch about you, and I defended you. I would have hit her if I was a girl-"
"-let me, then." Rose spat, and I gave her a look.
"I say nothing." I nodded at her, and she smirked.
"Thanks Edward!" She then skipped away, happy to cause a scene. I rolled my eyes.
"I should stop her, but lets pretend that I was too busy loving you, not that I am not doing it right now, because I love every single piece of you. Mmm." Bella stopped my rambling with her lips, and my words became muffled. I then hear a piercing scream and I turned around, and Rose had targeted the culprit, Vicky. Her fiery red hair stood out a mile, and I grabbed Bella's hand, pulling her with me. We got to the pair, and they were in the middle of a slapping flight. I pulled the two girls apart, and was glad I had a crowd going on.
"Vick, what have you been spreading?" I asked in a loud voice. Her mouth shut, and her face was as red as her hair.
"Are you trying to set me up, Eddie?" Vick tried to act all innocent, and I let both girls go.
"To everyone watching. Think for a moment. Would I go out with Vick? Yes or no? Well, your opinion doesn't matter, because I am happily in love with ym girlfriend, Bella. So don't even believe any rumours which involve me or Vick, because they're probably not true, depending. So, lesson number 25. Don't believe what you read or hear or see until you get first hand confirmation. Yep? Okay." I lowered my voice. "Thanks, Rose."
Rose's breaths calmed down as she was pulled into a bone crushing hug from Emmett. She squeaked out a reply. "No problem!" I took Bella's hand again and whispered to her before I took her in my arms and pressed my lips to hers.
I whispered. "I love you Isabella Swan"
I read every review and love them! Please review some more! xoxo
