Find Me
Chapter 16 – Realization & Comebacks
Disclaimer – I do not own, Twilight or its characters.
Edward's POV
Traffic had stopped my speeding just right outside of Port Angeles. I did the only thing I could think of at that moment. I called Jasper. It turns out I had planned it pretty well from this morning.
The traffic started to finally move, and I went right along with them. I had lost about ten minutes, and I did anything imaginable that people would consider road rage. Yelling from the top of my lungs, honking the damn horn, and just being out right livid. I had to get to her before she left.
I finally made it to the small airport. I took the ticket from the meter so that I could be able to park my car. I sprinted inside, jogging around people so that I wouldn't hit them in my haste. I looked everywhere, and failed to see anyone.
Charlie's POV
"I can't believe it!" I started running towards the person I hadn't seen for over three years.
Bella's POV
Charlie left me lagging behind him. I mirrored his running motions, and went to hug my brother with all my strength. What is he doing here? I thought. I brushed off my thought. I didn't care at that point, and I just wanted to finally be with my family again.
Jasper's POV
This would be very close. I could be a little too late, or possible get there on time. Edward was counting on me to make this work. The plane finally touched down in Port Angeles, and I stepped off the plane, and ran into the terminals. I turned my head in every direction possible. My eyes finally landed on two figures sitting by the coffee shop, and I knew I had just made it.
Edward's POV
I proceeded inwards even more, and I finally saw what I hoped I'd see. Bella, Charlie, and Jasper were hugging. I knew I had to give them their space, and I knew that Jasper would do his best to tell Bella to stay.
Bella's POV
We finally made it to Jasper. "Jasper I can't believe you're here! How are you?" I said while he hugged me. "I'm great, Bella I need to speak with you." I became confused. Charlie hugged Jasper also, and we began to walk back to our table. "What do you need to talk to me?" I said while sitting down. "Bella you can't leave." How did he even know I'd be leaving? "I-I," no Bella let me speak. I shut my mouth, and he started talking again. "Bella I know everything. Edward came to me in Seattle this morning. You can't do this." He said, and my eyes went wide. "Are you sure he told you everything? Because he's a liar you know." I said in a growl, and stood up to go walk to my terminal.
"Bella wait." That wasn't my brother's voice. "Bella please don't go." Edward said louder from across the other side of the airport. Shit. He found me. I picked up my bag, and continued walking closer to the terminal. Edward was now running, running towards me. "Dad I love you, but I have to go. Jasper I'll see you soon." Jasper had this look on his face that told me I would regret this action forever. Just as I turned around to face the line of the terminal entrance, Edward made it in front of me. "My God! You startled me, Edward." I almost fell backwards but once again Edward saved me from my impending fall. "Bella can you just speak to me for one minute?" I guess I could give him that much time.
He took me out of the line, and proceeded to head towards a deserted area so that we could talk freely. "Bella, look I know I screwed up. I will apologize forever, and I don't need to ask your permission to apologize for the rest of my life. I'm just going to do it whenever I see fit. I love you. I have never loved anyone before like this. Don't you see how much you mean to me? I did all of this for you. I brought Jasper back for you, and your dad." He brought his hands to hold my body to his. I looked back, and forth between Charlie, and Jasper. I then looked into Edward's eyes. They were intensified with remorse, anger, comfort, and love all at the same time. I dropped my bag, and the ticket in my hand fell to the floor.
Edward's POV
Realization finally appeared into her eyes. I knew that I had finally reached into her heart, and she knew that I could never love someone else, nor look at anyone else the same way I looked at her. She threw her arms around my neck, and jumped into my embrace. My exhilaration lifted her body off the ground. After we entangled ourselves, I put her down, and took her face into my hands. "I'll always be here for you." I leaned myself closer to her lips, and brushed mine, against hers. Her tongue, and moans made me hungry for more. But even though I wanted her badly this wasn't the place or time. Not to mention we had an audience. I pulled myself away, and chuckled at our flushed faces. She let out a sigh. "I love you."
