7 YEARS LATER…

BPOV

It's been seven years since I left Forks to live with my mother in Seattle. After I graduated from college and got my degree in Music Education I worked in a local high school for a year. That's when I realized I wanted to work with a younger age group instead. So I applied online as a music teacher in my old elementary school in Forks. I also thought it would be cool to go back to my hometown.

I wish I gave my best friends, Alice and Rosalie, my mom's house number since I didn't have a cell phone then, but when I told them I was leaving we got really emotional and I forgot to give them the number. Well I just hope they're still living in Forks so we could meet up with each other. I made sure to come during the summer so if they were still there we could have time to hang out before I had to go back to work in the fall.

My airplane was finally landing in Port Angeles Airport. I then got off and went to go get my luggage in the baggage claim. When I finally got them, I saw my dad, Charlie, farther down looking for me.

"Hey Charlie," I say walking towards him and then gave him a hug.

"Hey honey, when your mother told me you were coming back to actually live here I was so surprised, I didn't think you liked it here" he says taking a luggage bag from my hand.

"Well of course, I miss the rainy days and I thought I should take a breather from the hot Seattle air too" I explain while we walk through the automatic doors and entered the parking lot.

" I told Alice today that you were coming, you remember her right?"

"Charlie, she was my best friend since kindergarten, I'm not even allowed to forget her" he laughs at me and takes the car keys out of his pocket when we reached his car, the police car . He put my luggage in the trunk and we both got into the car and he started driving out.

" Does she still live here?" I ask.

"Well no, but she comes over the summers to spend time with her family and she sometimes pays me visits and asks me about you"

"Where does she live, then?"

"New York in Manhattan, she's the owner of a fashion company… I forgot what the name was but it's very well-know" he says like he's proud of her. I was glad to hear Alice's dream come true, she always wanted to be in the fashion business.

"Well, what about Rosalie, have you heard from her?"

" Yeah, she comes visits me too, along side Alice most times, and she still lives here, she's a realtor now, she's become such a success she became the number 1 realtor in Washington" my dad sounded like they were his own daughters.

They must have been getting together a lot.

"Well I can't wait to see them again" I say excitedly.

" And they can't wait to see you" he says and that's when he was pulling up to the drive way.

"Hey, dad have you heard from Edward?" I ask wondering what he was up to.

"Actually, after he graduated from High school and left for college I never heard from that boy, for all I know he could be dead"

Hphm, that's strange does he not visit over the summers? Well I shouldn't be thinking that considering this is the first time I came back since my leaving. My mother, Renee, did ask me once if I ever wanted to come back here for the summer, but I refused because I didn't want to have a fun summer and then have to say goodbye to Alice and Rose when it was time for me to head back. So I avoided coming here unless I was sure I was going to stay, like now.

" When I'm done bringing my stuff to my room would you like to come drive me to my apartment so I could get my car, I had shipped it in 2 weeks ago" I ask my dad and he agreed, mostly because he would like to see my apartment, and know where it's at when he wanted to visit, or if I had an emergency.

As I entered the house I saw that everything was exactly the same way when I left. Even when I went to put my stuff up in my room it smelled like the way I left it. .

It's good to be back.

We then headed out to my apartment which was 20 minutes away. I've never been to my apartment so I had the same reactions like Charlie when we went in. I had found it online and thought it would be perfect for me and called the landlord to reserve the place until I got there. He had faxed me the paperwork and I filled them up and faxed them back to him a month ago. All I had to do was pay the monthly rent. It had 1 bathroom, 1 bedroom, and a small kitchen and living room. I thought it was perfect because I would be the only one in here. Charlie seemed like he approved of my apartment and I got to my car and we drove back. When we got there he ordered pizza. We ate and talked some more. It was getting late, so I got my pajamas. I left everything packed because I wanted to stay over at Alice's place during the summer while she helped me furnish my apartment. Which I know Alice would be happy to do. So I had to dig into all 3 of my luggage which wasn't so hard because I didn't have a lot of clothes to dig through anyways.

I took a long warm shower and headed to bed ready to see my friends tomorrow.

I had just graduated from college in Chicago and got my medical degree and was now a licensed doctor. I thought it was time for me to head back home in Forks for the summer. When the summer ended I would have 3 hospitals waiting for me to come work. I could have accepted and start but thought it was time to relax and get back to family before I started my hectic life in Chicago.

I had gotten into Forks about a week ago. I forgot how Forks was such a rainy place that I didn't go out much that week. But now the weather seemed to clear up this week.

"Good morning" I say to Alice.

"Heeey, Edward" she says to me smiling. I knew Alice was always a morning person but not to me.

"What's up?" I ask while opening the fridge.

"Oh nothing, I'm just having a friend come over"

"Ugh, is it Rosalie, because you can save me the trouble of hearing you two talk about nonsense" Alice gasps.

"Hey, fashion isn't nonsense… it's a way of life and expression, and yes Rosalie will be coming over but that's not who I was only talking about"

"Who else is it then?" I ask closing the fridge and looking at Alice curiously.

"You'll just have to wait and see" she says and I can see she wasn't going to say any more details.

I mean the only other person Alice would have come over is Bella but she moved to Seattle so I took her out. I guessed it was Jessica, her other friend that kind of took Bella's place. Which she never could because Bella was simply much cooler.

"I don't think I want to wait to find out, so I'll be at the gym if you need me" I say and start going up the stairs to get ready.

After I got ready, I headed into my car and drove to the gym. I met up with Emmett since he worked as a fitness trainer there.

" Hey, man" Emmett says walking towards me.

"Hey, how's you and Rosalie going?" I asked going into the weight room.

"She's great, she's all hyped up about the wedding plans and what not"

"Oh yeah, have you guys finalized when the wedding will be?"

"It's in July, man" he says in disbeleif.

"You ready for it?"

"Yeah, there's no doubt Rose is the one... um I've been wanting to ask you something" he says cocking up an eyebrow.

"Yeah, what's up"

"Do you want to be my best man?" he says with a light punch on my arm.

"Like… for real?" I asked surprised. "I mean, what about Jasper?"

" Well I told him about my choice and he was totally up for it, he actually said he wanted to be a groomsman anyways"

"Wow, well then, yeah of course, that would be awesome"

"Thanks man, now Rosalie will finally stop asking me who will I chose to be 'the guy'" he says jokingly.

"So Alice is going to be the Maid-of-honor, then" I say knowingly.

"You know I thought that too, but when I asked Rose this morning she said she had someone else in mind"

"Really, I mean who else would Rose make her maid-of-honor?"

"I asked that too and she said an old friend of hers, and I asked her could she give me a name and she was like it wasn't my business to know" He says laughing " I thought it was my business but I dropped it because I know whoever she has in mind will probably be perfect for the role"

"Then what did she make Alice?"

" A bridesmaid" I knew Emmett was thinking the same thing because he had a confused look on his face.

Is Alice ok with this?

"Well that explains why Jasper wants to be a groomsman" Emmet says.

" To walk down the aisle with Alice" we say at the same then laugh.

"Well I have to say I'm a bit surprised Rosalie didn't pick Alice" I say.

"Me too,"

"You know… I hope she doesn't pick Jessica"

" It's isn't Jessica I know for sure because she's not an old friend, Rose sees her everyday"

" Well, I have no clue, then" I say Emmett looks at the clock.

"I've got to go man, I have someone coming in a few minutes so see you later"

"Ok bye" Emmett leaves and I go work out some more. Two hours later I decided it was time to go.

I got into the locker room to get myself cleaned up. I couldn't help but wonder in thought to who Alice had coming over and who Rose made her maid-of-honor if it wasn't Alice or Jessica.

I quickly got dressed and got to my silver Volvo. It was 3 so I went over to the library to get a good book. By then I stayed there for another 2 hours and thought it was time to head home.

When I finally arrived home I saw an unfamiliar car in the driveway.

That must be Alice's new friend.

I got out of the car and grabbed my gym bag and put my book inside. As I came inside the house I saw Alice and Rose talking to this other brown haired girl that looked so beautiful. When I shut the door they all turned their heads at the same time.

"Well… hay Alice and Rose, whose your friend?" I ask.

"Oh my gosh, Edward you don't remember me?" the unfamiliar girl asked sounding appalled.

"Well uh, no… not really" I say kind of sorry because she was pretty hot and I know I wouldn't forget someone like her.

"Edward, it's me, Bella"

Whoa, what now?

"What?' that was not Bella, Bella was a complete tomboy with short brown hair and always wore baggy clothes. This girl in front of me had long brown hair but had on a form fitting t-shirt and skinny black jeans. I then looked into eyes.

Oh wait… that is Bella.

She so isn't 15 anymore.
