Chapter 26: The Good Guy
The next several months passed dreadfully slowly for each of them. Edward toured, Bella waited tables at the bar and worked as many hours a day as possible to keep her mind off her miserable life. She worked until complete physical exhaustion took over. They had no contact with each other. Bella had not asked for a turn at the microphone in weeks. Her heart just wasn't in it. Her boss figured it had something to do with that singer fella.
One day, curiosity finally got the better of her and she took a day off and went into town to the local library. She seated herself at the computer, drew in a deep breath, and googled "Edward". There were several hits on her entry, but the ones that caught her eye were EDWARD CULLEN, SINGER, AMERICAN IDOL, and SOUL SINGER.
She clicked on it and began her journey of discovery into the life and career of her lost lover. For several hours that day, she clicked link after link about Edward. She read online magazine articles and newspaper accounts, she went into fan sites, she watched performance videos, listened to interviews, and watched his transformation from karaoke singer to star. She learned his story and learned about him. She realized that he was a good and decent person and no one had a bad thing to say about him. Everyone seemed to love him, everyone rooted for him, and he truly was one of the good guys.
She realized she had judged him too harshly because her pride had been wounded. He had tried so hard to apologize to her and she had slapped him and tossed him out of her life. Oh Edward, I'm so sorry, I miss you so!
When she returned home, she went into her studio for the first time since the night he had left. It had been too painful until today, but now she felt ready to take the mic again. She warmed up her vocal chords and put on her headset. This one is for you, Mr. Green Eyes...
Authors Note: Thank goodness for Google! Now how is she going to get Mr. Green Eyes back?
