Today has been miserable. I'm not one to get stressed, but I can't lie to ya... I have never felt so much stress before. I'm starting to lose it. I am so worried about Bella. It's getting dark and I STILL haven't heard anything. If my heart were still alive, it would be racing. I'm worried sick! I've been pacing under Bella's window for the last two hours. Yeah, I came back here after my attempt to cross the treaty line. Yeah, that was stupid. What happened, you ask? I guess, I'll tell you.
After I couldn't hear Bella's truck, I crept out of the woods and started debating about crossing the treaty line. This would be a huge risk that could possibly endanger myself and all the the Cullens. Crossing the treaty line would mean that the treaty was over. We would be fair game. There's more Cullens than there are wolves, but I'm the only one here right now. I had to make sure Bella was okay though. The only thing is, I wasn't exactly sure where she was going, but I had a pretty good idea that she was heading towards The Blacks. She was going to see Jacob. I remember his father, Billy, is good friends with Charlie. Billy, of course, is NOT a fan of me. Actually, no one in the pack, present or past, like me. Not that they like the Cullens, but they know too much about my past...that's another story though. This is about me wanting Bella safely back in her room, where I can watch over her, protect her and listen to her heartbeat and help her get through each day. I had been pacing the treaty line for almost an hour, when I had had enough! I needed to find Bella and I needed to find her NOW! I looked towards the woods on each side of me. I couldn't see nothin' and figure the coast was clear.
Right when I was about to make a break for it, an enormous sized wolf appeared in front of my face. He's baring his teeth and growling. He was ready to attack. Normally, I could have taken him down without any problems, but I must have been so caught up in my thoughts, that I never heard him. I slowly backed away, showing that I meant no harm. I sent calming waves towards to the wolf until he calmed down. I prayed it would work, because he looked like he was about to cross onto my side of the line to take me down, which I would have deserved for breaking the treaty...well, almost breaking it. We both stared at each other, waiting for the other to leave. We stayed like this for quite some time, but he finally gave up and left. Uley, yep, he's just like his great grandfather. I admired his grandfather, he was a good leader. He will be too.
After that, I thought it best if I headed back to Bella's and wait for her there.
So, here I am. Still pacing, praying to God that those stupid mutts haven't touched her. I have to do it, I have to talk to her. She probably doesn't even know what those boys are (or will be) She isn't safe with them. I have no idea how she's going to react when she sees me, but I can't put her in harm's way again. It would be my fault if something happened to her. Again. I just can't let that happen.
Finally, finally! I hear her old beat up truck coming down the road. She's about two miles from home. I sigh with relief, knowing that she's almost home safe and sound. I'm going to go talk to her before she gets inside and tell her I'll meet her in her room. I don't want her freaking out if she walks in and finds me sitting her bed. I have no idea what to say though.
I start listening to her heartbeat and trying to get a feel on her emotions. Her heartbeat is...normal. Light even. Well, at least lighter than it has been. Strange, I can't pinpoint what her emotions are. Is she laughing? No, she's singing! Well, I'll be darn, she's listening to music. That's a first. I don't recall that last time she listened to music. It reminds her of him. Good thing her windows are up, she cannot sing for anything. I snicker at this. I can see her now, she can't see me yet and I am surprised to see her smiling. Bella's smiling. I stop breathing. I can't believe what I'm seeing. She's laughing and smiling and crying. She's letting it all out. Finally. She's getting her emotions out. It's a rollercoaster of emotions. She's letting go. She's letting Edward go. I smile to myself, I can't talk to her now. After all this time, she's taking a couple of steps towards moving on. I have never felt more proud of her, than I do right at this moment. I know now that Bella's going to be okay.
