Lies
That weekend I died because of a bear attack. Well, at least that was the story. Today was my funeral.
I was watching my friends and family gather around the empty casket. It was the worst sight I have ever seen. All of my loved ones were in pain because of me "dying." I knew it was necessary because if I got close enough to them I would probably kill them and cause them more pain than they were already in.
Scarlet tapped my shoulder. She wanted to leave too. Although this was my funeral it was just as hard to watch.
So, we left.
Scarlet, Jonas and I drove past my old house. We drove by it once in a while but, today there was something different. There was a for sale sign on the front dew covered lawn. Charlie was selling the house. I know I couldn't do anything about him moving because once he made a decision there was no turning back. He is just as stubborn as I was.
My red Chevy was parked on the coal black driveway the same way I'd left it when I went for a walk that day. I really wanted to ride in that truck one more time. I wanted to hear its engine roar to life and smell the gasoline puffs in the air. I wanted to sit on the leather seats and feel the springs recoil beneath my bum. I wanted to feel unsure if the truck was even going to make it another mile. I couldn't take this truck not from my own father. Maybe, I would just visit my bedroom tonight.
8 HOURS LATER......
Finally the game was over and Charlie was going to sleep. I heard the click of the remote, his defeated steps going up the stairs and the slam of his door. I scaled the tree in the yard. It was pretty easy to get into my old room except that the window was rusty.
I never noticed how squeaky my floorboards were. One popped up quite easily as if someone had already taken the nails off. I looked down at the floor, astonished at my discovery. I found all of my treasures of Edward and a little note that read
Dear, Bella
If you are reading this I have already committed the blackest blasphemy anyone could ever commit. I broke your heart but I know someday it will mend and you will forget me. But I just wanted to let you know that I love you and nothing I said that day was true.
At that moment I would have cried if that were possible. This was too painful to read but still it was good to know that he loved me. The letter was very long so I skipped a few parts and started reading again.
Bella I love you and always will . I could go on about your beauty and how you make me feel and compare to the most important thing in the world but I just want to make sure you know I LOVE YOU. I love you so much that I can leave you. This causes me great pain but my hope is that it will be better for you this way.
All my love Edward Cullen
Edward still loved me, how could this be true. It never made sense to me why he loved me but if this note is true we are in love with each other. I have to tell Scarlet and Jonas. I raced home to tell them good news.
I felt like a little kid at Christmas waiting for the presents. I placed myself on the couch right beside Scarlet. Jonas stared at my Lucky-Go-Happy face. I could tell why. I usual wouldn't be caught acting this happy but today was a special occasion.
I knew Scarlet had already seen what I was going to say but she still knew this was a very important moment for me so, she would fake the enthusiasm and jump and down with me.
"Hey Bells, Why are you so happy?" Jonas asked as if he could care less but,his eyes burned with curiosity. He was a kid a heart and couldn't stand if he didn't know a secret that was being flaunted like mine.
"Well, you must know....." I told them everything and like I predicted Scarlet ended jumping up and down with me.
Sadly, when I was in my room it finally sunk in. This was horrible, Edward loved me and I loved him but I would probably never see him again. This sucked. Love sucked. Love is like a war: Easy to begin Hard to end!
