Chapter 12:
BPOV:
-2 weeks later-
Since Edward and I have become an 'item' my life could be better. I mean what could go wrong with loving friends (Alice, Emmett, Jazz, and Rose), loving parents (Charlie, Carlisle, and Esme), and a loving boyfriend (Edward). Well there is Lauren; life can't be all perfect can it? But besides that I've never been better.
It's Saturday so I slept in until about 11. Edward and his family went camping and my dad is at work so I have nothing to do. I make some breakfast and start eating. There is a knock at the door so I go and answer it. I open the door and see a man with a BIG package on this roll-y thing. [a/n: I have no idea what it's called XD]
"Yes?" I ask the man.
"Um… I have a package for a…. Bella Swan?"
"This is she."
"Oh! Sorry. Um can you sign right here please?" He says handing me a pen and his clip board.
"Ok. Here you go." I hand him back his clip board.
"Thanks. Do you need some help getting this into your house?" I size up the package.
"Most defiantly." I say with a light-hearted laugh. He joins in and we get the package into the living room.
"Thanks again sir."
"No problem."
I lock the door and go to inspect the package. I open it and pull out a beautiful, new guitar. It was a caramel colored acoustic-electric guitar. I looked at the bottom of the box and pulled out a letter with my name written on it. Why does this feel familiar?
I open up the letter and read it to myself, it said—
Dear Bella,
I'm so sorry for all the pain my absence may have caused in your life. I want you to know that I always loved you throughout all of these years. When I left I was young and naïve and I'm truly sorry. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me. This guitar is for all the birthdays, Easters, thanksgivings, and Christmases I missed. Love you always.
-mom.
I dropped to my knees. I couldn't believe it. This couldn't be her. Could it? As I continued rambling in my head the door bell rang. Ugh…who is it now…
I opened the door and immediately froze with shock.
…
"Hello Bella.-insert smiley face here-"
"Mo…mom?"
"Yes sweetie. It's me. Can I come in?" Because of my frozen state all I could do was move aside. She took that as a sign to come in. "Wow. This place hasn't changed at all." She said to herself. As I composed myself I asked her, "Mom…. What are you doing here?"
"What no hug?" She said jokingly. I didn't answer so she could see that I was serious. Apparently she did so she said, "Well I-", but she was cut off. Charlie was home.
"Hey Bells. How was your-" He stopped in mid-sentence when he saw my mom.
"What are you doing here Renee?" He said angrily.
"Charlie let me explain…"
"No! I'm tired of your 'explanations'."
"Charlie calm down…"
"Don't you tell me what to do in my house. Leave."
"Charlie listen…"
"Fine. If you won't leave I will." I couldn't take it anymore. "Dad!" I called, but he was already gone.
"Bella I'm so-" But she was cut off when my savior, Edward, came through the door.
"Love what's going on?" Edward says his perfect brow furrowing.
"Hold on…" I turn to my mom and give her a look.
"Um… I'll give you two some privacy. Here's my number. Please call me Bella." On cue she left leaving me sobbing in Edward's arms.
"Love what's wrong?" I tell him everything what happened. "- I've never seen his so angry before. I don't know what to do…" Edward kisses my head softly.
"I'm sure you'll think of something love. After all, everything happens for a reason."
I wipe my tears. "I suppose you're right. Thanks Edward."
"Anytime love. Anytime."
Don Don Dooonnn. Didn't see that comin' did you. ;) R&R bai!
