Chapter 2: Is Forgetting Edward Cullen Possible?

Bella's P.o.V.

It was a silent 5 minute walk to the car with my mom glancing at me every second. I walked with my head held high, but I made sure my feet were grounded so that I wouldn't trip.

When we finally arrived at the car, I took a second to smell the air and looked around. I noticed Phil staring at my exposed legs through the driver's window- pervert. For a second, I felt self-conscious but I shook the feeling off remembering I was now Isabella. I glared at him and when he finally got the decency to look at my face he cowered back in his seat. I'm not surprised; everyone always told me my death glares are murderous.

I looked to my mom who hadn't even noticed the encounter that just went on between me and her husband she was busy stacking my suitcases in the car.

I hopped into the backseat of the car and slammed the door to get Phil's attention. It worked, he immediately looked back with some undetectable feeling. I had made a plan and I was about to set it into action.

Part one, acknowledge people's actions.

"So, you like my legs, huh?" I caught him by surprise with my seductiveness.

"W-what?" He stuttered with his genius response.

"I saw you staring at my legs, I'm not blind you know," My sarcasm swept through my voice and laced my words.

His face became bright red as he shuffled around in his seat. Just then, the passenger opened and mom jumped in looking curios.

"Hey, mom, guess what?" Little droplets of sweat dripped across Phil's forehead.

"What?" She answered.

"All the guys love me here, and I do mean all of them. When I walked into the airport, all the guys stared and one even hit on me! Not to mention how your husbands mouth was ajar when I walked through the parking lot!" That got to her and I knew it. Phil's breathing increased as he looked at my mom and shook his head from side to side.

"He was just surprised with your new look," She said trying to sound calm but you could tell this was killing her, "and attitude," She mumbled.

"Whatever you sa-ay!" I said enthusiastically dragging out the 'a' in 'say.'

"Bella," Phil started.

"Isabella!" I almost screamed. If I hear her name again, my name, my old name then I won't be able to pull this off. My mom gave me a murderous glare, but not a death glare.

"Sorry, sorry, Isabella, I was just caught off guard and I was extremely surprised."

"Yeah whatever…" I threw back at him as I stared out the window watching the scenery go by.

"Isabella Marie Swan!" My mom screamed at me.

"Yes?" I replied innocently.

"Don't talk to us like that. I'm your mother and I know you're going through a rough time but don't take it out on me!"

Sorry mom, I should say or, you're only trying to help. I'm truly sorry but this is the new me.

I was silent. I didn't have anything to say.

"Apologize," My mom ordered.

"Sorry Phil, sorry Renee," I apologized sarcastically. My moms- Renee's eyes tea red. I have never not called her mom. She stared into my eyes as her tears started flowing down her cheeks. She turned around in her seat to face the front- her back to me. Phil put his hand on her shoulder to comfort her and made a circular motion with his thumb.

Edward always did that. He used to do that to comfort me all the time and when I cried, he would kiss the tears away. His cool lips would graze my skin leaving a fiery trail behind. It would instantly stop my crying and breathing. My heart would speed up and I would smile no matter how sad I was. I need him… now.

NO stop it! You don't need him! You never did! He was just a part of your life like Mike Newton- you don't need him do you?

No.

Go away, Bella, you're not needed or wanted here or anywhere!

That's what he said when he left. He said he didn't want me and he probably never did.

Get over it! He's already gone. He's not coming back! Forget about him. Every guy in the Country will want you after I'm through with you!

Edward's not in this country though… He won't ever want me.

Shut up about Edward Cullen! He's not here. Forget him!

By now, my eyes were burning with unshed tears that threatened to spill over. I will never be able to forget Edward, Isabella or not. The memories will always be there. The memory of the day Edward left flashed by my eyes, it was like I was someone watching them. That it wasn't me actually living these memories.

I saw Edward's eyes- pitch black- staring at Bella's forehead, avoiding her eyes. Bella's face was covered in tears, more coming down by the second. It looked like it hurt him to look at her. If he glanced at her he would crack just a little and show some emotion but he would immediately avert his gaze away. Bella was on her knees, and then he was gone. She was alone.

I was so caught up in my thoughts that the two hour drive from the airport to my new home was now over. My mom had stopped crying a while ago.

I opened the door slowly and stepped out. The hot air pounded my face.

The house wasn't that big- it had two bedrooms. It was almost as big as Charlie's if not smaller. I silently followed Renee to my room. She dropped my bags on my bed and left. She must still be angry.

I took a breath and started unpacking.

I have school tomorrow, Ugh.

Edward, I miss you…
