Chapter 8
Bella's POV:
August 8/9
"We are now landing in Phoenix, Arizona. We hope that you fly Jet Blue again soon"
God, I really wish she would just shut up. I wasn't happy to be here. Let's add another cheery person to go with my misery.
(Bold=Renée/Regular=Bella)
"Bella!"
Oh great here we go
"Bella, over here!"
"Alright Renée I see you. How are you?"
"Hey I'm your mother call me mom. How are you sweetie?"
"I'm fine. Why the sudden interest in me?"
"What do you mean sudden interest? You're my daughter! It wasn't a sudden interest!"
"Wasn't a sudden interest? Yeah right…you didn't want me four years ago. What made you change your mind?"
"I made a mistake and I regret it. I wanted you back."
"You made a mistake! Are you joking? You abandoned me when I needed you most. You didn't want me. To you I didn't exist. Go ahead and call it a mistake. It took you four years to realize you made a mistake. Well those four years were the best years of my life! I didn't want to come back. I was forced! I'm not here willingly! And you made a mistake!
Lovely we were in the middle of a busy airport yelling at each other. I felt guilty but I wasn't going to take it back. It was the truth. Mistake my ass! I cannot believe her. She had the nerve to call what she did a mistake.
"Come on Bella; let's go get in the car"
As I silently made my way to her car I promised myself I would find a way back to the Cullen's
Edward's POV:
Bella had only been gone for a few hours yet it had felt like she had been gone for years. Why did she go back? Did she even have a choice? Did I do anything wrong…
"DING you've got mail"
Blasted computer ruining my train of thought! Might as well check it.
From: Bella Swan
To: Edward Cullen
Message: Edward, I cannot believe Renée, I walked up to her in the airport and she stared to apologize saying she had made a mistake. She ditched me when I needed her most and SHE CALLED IT A MISTAKE! How can I live here? I never wanted to leave. I was happy with you. I promise I didn't want to leave you. Please don't think I did. I know there's a tie difference but I don't care- call me! I need to talk to you.
Bella
Renée said that what she did was a mistake. I would have loved to see that. What time is it? WOW- 1:24 here in Forks, which means its 12:24. What is she still doing up? Better yet, what am I still doing up? She told me to call her so I'm going to call her.1-760-244-8198 (please don't call)
"Ring" "Ring" "Ring" "You've reached Bella, sorry I can't get the phone. Leave your name and number and I'll call you back. Beep"
Why did she tell me to cal her if she's not going to answer?
"Ding, you've got mail"
From: Bella Swan
To: Edward Cullen
Message: Never mind, you can't call me. Renée took my phone. Edward what do I do? I just got here and I want to leave. I don't know how long I can do this.
Bella
What does she mean she doesn't know how long she can do what?
From: Edward Cullen
To: Bella Swan
Message: Bella you have to make it through this. When you turn eighteen you can come back here. I need you to come back. I need you to survive!
Edward
It's been four years since I met Bella Swan and I knew that as soon as I saw her that she was the one. I had fallen in love at the age of ten. Everyone but Bella knew this.
Four years have passed and we did everything together. We had all of the same classes; both of us want to be doctors. We would have gone to homecoming together, most of the time we were in some sort of physical contact. Most nights we stayed in the same room (at first Carlisle and Esme didn't like this but they agreed when Bella woke up screaming and I was the only one who could calm her down). I played the piano, she sang; unless it involved crowds. I wanted to tell her before she left but Carlisle thought I should wait. She had only been there for a few hours and was giving up.
"Ding you've got mail"
From: Bella Swan
To: Edward Cullen
Message: Why do I have to make it through this? What should I live? What is there for me to live for?
Bella
From: Edward Cullen
To: Bella Swan
Message: Just promise me you'll make it until your eighteenth birthday. Then we can go to college together.
Edward
I had to give her something to look forward to. I had to go tell Carlisle.
Carlisle took it well. He told me to watch for any signs of suicide and try to talk to her everyday. He also said that instead of waiting until she turned eighteen, she could come after she graduated. If only we knew that it would be sooner.
