Hello there! I know that this is super late but I didn't have the weekend I was hoping to have to write ( I had school works to finish and on Sunday my mother decided that we should all go out.) Then it was last week of classes and on the first three days I had some more school works to finish and then I was really stressed out about the tests I was going to receive (For those who care, my marks were actually good. I finally got a decent mark at math! Thank god!). And by the time Friday arrived I was more tired than ever. I could barely keep my eyes open during the day. So I spent the weekend sleeping and resting and trying to finish writing this chapter ( which obviously didn't happen).
This chapter was harder to write than I expected because I was way to happy about the break to be able to write with the emotion it was needed. I tried my best and I hope it's good. I really hope you like it.
I've went to the movies to see Robert Pattinson's new movie, REMEMBER ME, and I loved it. I actually saw it twice and I can't wait for the DVD. And it's not because Rob is in it ( though I think he looks a lot better in this movie than he did in Twilight.) It's because the story is beautiful and full of emotion. I admit that I cried in the end. It was beautiful though.
Enough with the rambling! I hope you like the chapter and there's an important AN at the bottom. I know that if I put it here it's more likely that you don't read it so...
Just a little more something... Yeah I know I'm a pain in the ass... I'm really sorry for not updating sooner. I keep thinking that someday you'll all just get tired of it and stop reading but I ask for you to have some patience with me. I'm really trying my best.
Thanks for all your support and reviews. They really brighten my day! Thanks you for being so AMAZING!!!!!!!! Love you!

Chapter 17
Edward's POV
It broke my heart to hear Bella and not being able to comfort her properly but, most of all, it hurt not having her near me. After eighty years thinking that she was dead we were together and she had to leave again. I know that she's coming back, that she only went to solve things with her brother and get some things but... I can't help remember the day that my happiness was stripped from me with only three little words. Three small words that changed my life in the most horrible way I knew.
Flashback
"Are you sure, love? I don't really need to go! Or we can go later!" How I wish I could just stay with her instead of having to go on this hunting trip/bachelor party with my brothers. What was wrong with Emmett, to decide that going tonight wasn't enough and we should leave first thing in the morning?
"I've told you, you can go Edward! You haven't been spending all that much time with Em and Jasper, besides you need to hunt. I don't want you to scare our guests tomorrow with your black eyes. Honey suits you so much better." Her small, warm hand caressed my cheek and I reveled in the comforting sensation it brought me. If two years ago someone told me that I would find Bella and be this happy I would never have believed it. "And it's your bachelor party!" She finished, like if that was a point that would convince me to go...
"I don't need a bachelor party! I'm more than happy to leave my single days behind!" I said sneaking my arms around her waist and pulling her close to me. She had no idea how thankful I was to her for loving me, for agreeing to marry me and for making me so, so happy! If there was anything I should be celebrating, it was the fact that she loved me and was willing to leave her life behind for me, to risk losing her soul for me... That was the only thing worth celebrating at the moment.
"I know Edward, but I really don't mind. As long as you're not late tomorrow..."
"I would never be late for our wedding, love!" How could that thought even cross her mind? I would have married her long ago, if I could. But due to a certain pixie sister of mine, eloping in Vegas was not an option, besides, Bella deserved better! She deserved the most perfect and beautiful wedding anyone could have. My Bella deserved everything!
"I'm glad to hear that, now get moving before Emmet feels the need to come and get you." She placed her hands in my back and tried to push me to the window, I complied.
"I don't even know why they want to go so early. We could just leave tonight and we'd still have plenty of time." I complained. Damn Emmett! I liked spending time with my brothers but... I preferred spending time with Bella.
"I'll be great Edward! What can happen in one day? Don't worry!" She should know better! I always worried about her. Always. But today... something was different. I couldn't put my finger on it... I just had a bad feeling.
"It's you we're talking about Bella! A lot can happen in one day!" I teased her, trying to ease myself and not let her see my worry.
"All right Mr. Smarty-pants, joke all you want but I will be fine. I'll just miss you a lot!" I'd missed her too... so much. I turned around to face her, my eyes lingering on every single detail of her. Her long mahogany hair, still disheveled from her sleep, her beautiful chocolate colored eyes, her slim and fragile body, her perfect skin, her soft pink lips, the calming beating of her heart... she was mine and in a matter of twenty four hours, give or take, it would be official. She would be mine forever and everybody would know.
"Promise me, you'll be fine!" I begged worriedly. I knew I couldn't conceal my agony, anymore and I was worrying her too but... I just couldn't shake the feeling that something would happen. It felt like my heart was twisting in my chest, telling me not to go. "I have a bad feeling about leaving you alone! I don't know what it is but...!" I blurted, my voice stressed; even more than usual when I had to leave her. I couldn't go! I couldn't risk something happening to her!
"Hey, hey!" She called, holding my face in her hands as she locked her eyes with mine. "I'll be fine, Edward! Nothing is going to stop me from getting married to you tomorrow! Okay?" I nodded and gave her a small smile, settling a little at the confidence that filled her melodic voice. "Good! Now, give me a kiss before you go!" She exclaimed, making my smile larger. I pulled her back into my arms, just needing to feel her warmth against my cold, hard body. It always eased me... knowing that she's in my arms, where no harm can come to her. But this time it did very little for the nervousness I felt. I needed something more, I wanted her closer. I kissed her softly and lovingly, burying my face in her hair after and allowing her scent to surround and comfort me.
"I can't wait for you to be my wife, Bella! I just can't wait!" I whispered. She smiled and suddenly I couldn't think about anything else. It was like if I lived to see her smile. My heart filled with such joy that I thought it would explode. "I love you!" I declared. I don't know what I would do if I ever lost her... My world would just stop spinning... I pushed those thoughts to the back of my head and focused on coming back as soon as I possibly could as I jumped out of her window.
"I love you too!" Her soft reply arrived as soon as my feet touched the ground and I smiled again. She could say that every single second of our forever and I would never get tired of hearing it.
***
The day passed slowly as I tried my best to hide how much I hated this stupid idea of a bachelor party. It wasn't very easy to accomplish since Jasper was with us but he knew my reasons. He had tried to talk to me when I met with them, after being with Bella this morning, but I chose to throw my fears behind my back and not think about them. It would only make me more anxious.
Bella would be fine. Esme, Alice, Rosalie and Carlisle would be around if she needed anything. Still, being away from her was enough to dampen my mood. Now that we had already set that I was going to change her, a part of me longed for that to happen fast. That way, I wouldn't have to leave her side to hunt, I would just bring her along.
Ever since Bella entered my life, most things I thought were fun or that I enjoyed doing had taken a second place in my list; Bella was the only thing that could make me feel complete and happy.
The night fell and Emmet was more excited than I had ever seen him: he had already caught a grizzly and was on his way to find a second one. The first bear had given him enough work since his shirt was practically nonexistent; at least he had had the thought of bringing one that Rosalie hadn't offered him. Last time he ruined one of the shirts she gave him, he had a rough time.
"Don't worry Eddy! We'll get you home in time for the wedding! Just catch a few mountain lions for Bella while you can!" Emmett said as I checked my watch for the millionth time since we had left.
Bella would probably be asleep by now. The distressing feeling in my heart hadn't disappeared but I convinced myself that if something would have happened I would already know.
"Don't worry so much Edward! I'm sure Bella is fine. Relax a little bit!" Jasper reassured me. I sighed and nodded.
We continued hunting until the dawn and then sat under a tree, talking.
"We're really happy that you found Bella, Edward."Jasper said.
"Yeah, little bro! About time you got a girl for you, don't you think? No you'll have someone other than Esme to keep you in line! I just hope Bella makes you squirm a lot. Now it'll be our turn to laugh!" Emmett commented.
"I'm not you, Emmett!" I stated.
"Whatever!" He grumbled as Jasper and I laughed.
We decided to get back around eight am. Alice would kill us if we were late and I had the faint hope that she would allow me to see Bella. I missed her so much! But I knew that Alice would pull the 'the groom can't see the bride before the wedding' card, and knowing her, there would be no way around that.
We found our way back to the car and started driving towards home. We were about an hour away when my cell phone rang. I looked at the ID, where it said ALICE.
"What does the pixie want? Were not even late, dude!" Emmet said, looking over my shoulder, from the backseat. I shrugged and answered the call.
"Alice." I said nonchalantly.
"Edward!" Her voice... The bad feeling came back all of a sudden! My stomach twisted and my heart clenched.
"What, Alice? What happened?" I asked, trying to keep myself calm. It wasn't working. I felt like I was going to start hyperventilating. Something was wrong! I knew it! I just knew it!
"Edward... you have to come home, now! Get home as soon as you can! Please... come as fast as you can! Hurry!" She sobbed. Oh god! Oh my god! I parked the car immediately.
"What wrong, Alice? Just tell me what happened!" My voice was desperate, with an hysteric edge to it. "Bella, where... where is she? Is she okay?" She didn't answer. "Tell me that Bella is with you and the only danger she's in comes from your curling iron!"I tried to joke. I waited for her to tell me that the only reason I had to hurry home was because Bella wouldn't stop complaining about Alice and Rosalie doing her hair and makeup.
"Just hurry!" She whispered before the line went dead. Why wouldn't she tell me what was happening? Why didn't she tell me that Bella was fine? I dropped the cell phone and restarted the car again, heading home as fast as I could. I pushed my Volvo to its limits as Emmett and Jasper kept asking questions.
Bella is fine! She has to be fine! I can't lose her. She's fine. We're getting married in a few hours! She has to be okay! I kept trying to convince myself that Bella was okay but I couldn't shake off the feeling of despair and agony that was already settling in me.
I had turned the one hour drive into an half an hour one and didn't even bother to turn off the car before jumping out of it and heading directly to the door. I opened it with such force that almost pulled it out of its hinges. I frantically searched for my Bella in every room of the house, running to the living room when I couldn't find her. The rest of my family and the Denali clan, which had come for the wedding, were in there.
"Alice? Where is Bella? Where is she?" I asked anxious. Alice was hunched in the couch with Esme next to her, both looking equally broken. They looked up at me as soon as I spoke but none of them said anything. "Where is Bella?" I hissed getting closer to the couch. "WHERE IS SHE?" I screamed to the room.
"We don't know." Alice whispered, sobs racking through her body.
"What do you mean, you don't know?" I asked, sick with worry, as I stared at her.
"She was supposed to be here an hour ago. She had sworn she wouldn't be late. I started to worry when she was already half an hour late. I thought she had slept in so I called Charlie to ask if she was already awake." Alice told me. "He said he thought she was with us. That Rose and I had taken her to some sort of bachelorette party or something because she wasn't home yesterday when he arrived; he just assumed..."
"And did you?"
"No, Edward! She's gone!" Alice screamed at me. Jasper went to her quickly and gathered her in his arms, as she kept sobbing.
"Gone?" I didn't understand what she was trying to tell me. I didn't want to understand. I didn't want to see what was right in front of my eyes. "Does she not want to get married anymore? Is that it? Because I don't care! I just want her with me, I... I..." Alice managed to free herself from Jasper's arms and came to me.
"I went to Bella's house right after I got out of the phone with Charlie. Her clothes were all there, her toiletries too,... She didn't leave Edward. She'd never do that to you!"
"Then what happened? Where is she?" Despair was thick in my voice and I felt like I was losing my mind. Where was my angel?
"Bella is missing, Edward." She whispered. I fell to my knees. I felt like if someone had hit me in the chest knocking all the air out of my lungs.
"No! No!" I sobbed. I wanted to cry, I wanted to run, I wanted to free myself from this nightmare.
"We'll find her Edward." Alice murmured, kneeling beside me. I could barely register her presence or her words. The only thing I was aware of was that my beautiful and fragile Bella was missing. And knowing that she wasn't in my arms, safe, hurt so much that the slight discomfort that breathing usually brought me had became unbearable. The anguish was so great that my whole body seemed to burn and itch.
"Charlie has already half the town searching the woods and anywhere else she can be. I've allowed the wolves to come to our land and help searching." Carlisle stated. He placed his hand on my shoulder and squeezed reassuringly. "We'll find her, Edward! We'll find Bella." I held onto his words like if they were my salvation, only to realize, a second later, that they were my salvation because without Bella, I couldn't live.
"We have to go now! We need to find her!" I murmured absentmindedly, managing to get free of Alice's embrace and stand up. I felt strange: I could barely stand on my legs, but at the same time I felt as strong as ever; I was uncoordinated and distracted, the world seemed to have lost its brightness... I wasn't feeling like myself. I knew I had to find Bella but I had no idea where to turn myself to... Thousands of scenarios and out comings were swimming in my mind, each one worse than the last and I felt so lost, so powerless...
"It rained a lot last night... I don't think we'll be able to pick her scent..." Carlisle stated.
"We'll help you in everything, of course." Carmen's concerned voice sounded. I really didn't care, the only thing I could think about was finding Bella. I quickly left the room and headed to my car. I got in and sped off. For the remainder of the day, I checked every single place in the small town of Forks where she could and could not be. I had stayed several minutes in each location, reading the minds of everyone to try to find the smallest clue about her whereabouts but no one knew anything!
I returned to the house, that night, agonized; only Esme was there. I simply parked the car in the driveway and ran... so fast that my feet barely touched the ground, driven by the need to get to her, no matter where she was. Before I noticed, Alice and Carlisle were running next to me, trying hard to keep up with my pace.
I couldn't stop, I couldn't slow down because each minute that passed could be the last one for my love. She had been missing for twenty four hours at least and we still hadn't found her.
I knew I couldn't just continue to run like this so I stopped. How could I get to her if I hadn't the slightest idea of where she was? I needed to find something that would give a clue about where she was. There had to be something! We paused several times to try to catch her scent, to look for any kind of disturbance in the forest environment that could give something away.
During the following day, the only thing we did was thoroughly examine the forest, looking for something, anything that could lead us to my Bella. Each hour that flew, though, I lost a bit more of myself in the desperate run to find her alive and have her back in my arms, safe. In spite of my family's support, I couldn't help but to let my hope flicker and slowly die as the time passed. As the seconds ticked by, the chance of finding her unscathed diminished. I tried my best to keep those thoughts at bay, to not let them distract me from my goal but my fear was too great. How would I live when my life lost its light? When my reason was gone?
And then, while searching a piece of land we hadn't even been close to, a faint scent came across us. I abruptly changed the direction I was going to and followed the scent I knew so well. My stomach clenched and churned as I approached the place and even before I saw it, I knew. I knew everything was lost... I knew I was too late... I was too late to save the most important thing in my whole existence. Everything I lived for was gone... and there was no battle I could fight, nothing I could sell or do to have her back, to bring her back to me.
A shrilling scream of pure agony ripped through the air, as I entered the small clearing. Strength left my body and I fell to the ground... I kept screaming at the scene before me, praying, begging... I needed her, I needed her so much, she couldn't be gone...
"Oh god!" Alice sobbed, falling to her knees at my side. "Oh no, no,..."
Bella's blood was everywhere... smudged on the superficial roots of the trees, in several pools on the ground diluted in water from the last rains; some shreds of her sweater and jeans were scattered around the place...
In a matter of minutes, we weren't alone in the clearing anymore. Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, the Denali clan and some wolves appeared, no doubt alerted by the awful screams that were still leaving my chest... I couldn't stop, I couldn't let go of the tiny amount of hope I felt because if I did, I would have nothing...
"Ssshhh, Edward... ssshhh..." Alice wrapped her arms around me, trying to get me to stop. In spite of my screams, I could hear Jasper talking to Carlisle.
"Carlisle? What does this means?" He asked fearfully.
"I don't think... It's too much blood... I don't think she..." He tried. I screamed louder, as loud as I could, I didn't want to hear those words, I didn't want to... I couldn't... "I don't think it's possible she survived." Carlisle whispered, not believing his own voice. The wolves howled in pain and I just kept screaming.
"Carlisle..." Alice cried pleadingly from my side.
"Edward... Edward, Bella wouldn't have survived this... she died." He stated, whispering the last part. My screams suddenly turned into sobs that racked violently through my body. My breath left my lips in trembling and uneven gasps, as Alice's hold on me tightened.
"Why, Alice? Why... did this... happen?" I cried. My eyes stung with tears that I couldn't shed. "We were going to get married; she was going to be with me forever, I was going to love her forever! What did I do? Why did she have to be taken from me?"
"I don't... know, Edward, but this isn't your fault." She sobbed.
I was absolutely ready to feel the most heart-wrenching pain but I felt nothing, I was empty. All the rising panic of my lost, the blinding fear, the hope that I had tried so hard to hold on to, the sorrow, everything was gone... and I didn't want to cry or scream anymore. I wanted to die too but I couldn't! I couldn't because I had promised her and I couldn't let go of the only thing that still connected me to her, I wouldn't.
"Edward, Edward!" Alice called. I shied away from her embrace and stood up. "Edward, where are you going?" She tried to grab my hand but I pushed her away. "Edward!" She pleaded.
I ran to my love's house, climbing up the wall and entering through her bedroom window. She was still so present there... her scent lingered strongly as if it was part of the essence of the room, a few clothes were still scattered around... Everything looked so normal...
I walked to the middle of the room and sat there, with my knees huddled tight against my chest and my arms around my legs. I heard chief Swan, enter the house; I heard him sit in the living room and cry and sob for the loss of his daughter but I couldn't feel sympathy or anything else for him. I couldn't feel, I was hollow, I was dying inside. I could feel the life and warmth leaving my body as the reality set in.
I inhaled, letting her sweet fragrance burn my memory and wash over me. I didn't want to leave her room ever; I felt closer to her there. I just wished I could touch her, hold her, talk to her... just be with her somehow.
Being in her room was, at the same time, a relief and a torture. A relief because I could almost pretend that she wasn't gone, that she was just in the bathroom, taking one of her 'human moments'. And a torture, because everywhere I looked at I could see her, see us... studying, laying in her bed together before she fell asleep, talking, kissing,...
I stayed there for the remainder of the day and most of the night, committing every single detail of the room to my memory, relishing in the pretense that my Bella was still with me, that we were still happy. I stayed until Alice came.
"You have to come home Edward. You can't stay here, it's not good for you... come home, let us help you." She begged.
"No one... can help... me Alice. No one... can bring her back, so... no one can help me." My voice was terrible, hollow, lifeless, the exact reflection of the way I felt.
"Please Edward. I know your suffering but you can't stay here forever. It won't help you overcome this..."
"I don't want to overcome anything, Alice!" I hissed. "I would stay in this room forever if I could. I will never overcome Bella, I will never forget her. Never!"
"That's not what I meant... Please Edward, come." I knew she wouldn't give up and I just wanted to be left alone. So I went.
I hated the way everybody looked at me. I hated that they thought they could understand what I was going through. Nobody but me could. They all thought I was suffering so much, when in reality, I was feeling emptier than ever. I knew that the pain would come; I just wasn't sure what was worse: the pain or this bareness that threatened to consume me.
I looked around, not really seeing anything or anyone, until a black shape in the corner of the room caught my attention. My piano. I went over to it and with only one motion of my hand shattered it as Esme gasped. I wouldn't play one more single note ever again. Music used to be a relief, an escape, but nothing would be able to relieve me from what I had lost and, most important, I didn't want to be relieved. Because, no matter if it was the emptiness or the pain, it would always mean that it was real, that my love was real...
I went immediately up to my room and let the memories wash over me once again as I curled in the fetal position in my bed; it still smelled a bit like her from the last time she had been here. I could remember perfectly the sound of her laughter, the warmth and softness of her skin... I could remember everything but it wasn't enough. It would never be enough.
Everybody took turns coming to see me and try to offer me words of comfort. I didn't even recognize their presence in the room. Esme was the last one. She sat next to the bed and ran her hands through my hair, just like Bella used to do, talking softly. I couldn't ignore her completely but it wasn't her touch I yearned for... Her arms were cold and hard compared to the soft and warm flesh I craved so much... It weren't her words I longed to hear... She too gave up after a while.
I stared at my hands and saw her fingers intertwining with mine; I looked at the spaces between my fingers and imagined her fingers locked with mine forever, like it should have been... I had never felt so alone.
I'm not sure how long I stayed like that but it must have been a while.
Carlisle entered my room to ask me if I was going to the funeral. I shook my head. Going to her funeral would mean that I accepted what had happened and I wasn't ready to do it, I wasn't ready to accept that she was gone forever.
How I wished I could no longer be in this world. I heard my family leave for the funeral but remained in the same position.
It was at least two days until someone entered my room again. Carlisle.
"Edward, we're moving."He said simply. It was enough for me to open my eyes.
"No." I pleaded in a distressed voice. I didn't want to leave. A thought crossed his mind after he evaluated my reaction but I only caught the end of it: 'but it's necessary'.
"It's not good for you to stay here. It's good for any of us." His voice was pained.
"No." I begged again. His features were contorted in what I could only guess was anguish and regret.
"Edward... Bella is dead!" He stated forcefully.
"No!" I cried as waves of agony crashed over me. I hugged my chest tighter. The pain came so strongly and suddenly that it knocked my breath right out of me. It was like being hit straight in the chest. I felt like if someone was squeezing my heart and tearing it from my chest.
I needed her so much... It was choking me... this need for her was choking me. Missing her was killing me and I knew it.
How was I supposed to live when it hurt so much I couldn't move? How did they want me to survive when the light that gave me life had been extinguished?
End Flashback
"Edward! Edward!" Alice was screaming at my side. I looked up to find her worried eyes on me. "Bella is worried sick because you haven't answered her calls. She's been trying to call you for hours, almost a day. First she thought you were hunting but you knew she was going to call so she started getting worried when you kept not answering you phone and called me." I stared at her as she handed me her cell phone. I eagerly took it from her and she left the room.
"Bella!"
"Edward! Damn! Do you have any idea how worried I was? I'm almost driving Catherine crazy."
"I'm sorry, love. I spaced out."
"Are you okay, Edward? You sound strange."
"Yeah..." I said, brushing it off. "It's just... thank you so much for saving me, for being alive, for loving me like you do! Thank you for existing and being the beautiful person that you are! I love you Bella!"
"I love you too Edward but I don't understand..." She was surprised with my little outburst but the memories I had just revisited had made me remember how much I needed to thank her for .
"I've already lost you three times, Bella. Once, when I left you. The second one when you were taken away from me all those years ago and the third time when I said all of those awful things a few days ago..."
"Edward..."
"No! Let me finish. I've already lost you three times and there was always things that I regretted not saying to you so I've decided that I'm going to tell you every day, several times, just how much I love you, how much you changed my life, how I can't live, breathe, exist, without you. And I'm going to make sure that you always know exactly how important you are to me."
"I'm not going to let anything take me away from you again." She whispered.
"I know love, but I don't want to keep more unuttered words in my heart. I want you to know exactly how I feel and how grateful I am to have you." I sighed, feeling more at peace with myself than I ever was.
"I'm pretty grateful myself to have you too and I love you with everything I am." We were silent for a few minutes. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to arrive the day after tomorrow."
"That's great! I miss you."
"I miss you too."
"Your brothers...?" I asked.
"Things are smoother around here." She answered vaguely.
"But not solved." I concluded.
"No, not solved. We're getting somewhere though and I must admit it's more than I expected." She breathed, clearly relieved. "Take that dress immediately from her suitcase Catherine! Do you really think I'm going to let her dress that? It barely covers her ass!" A male voice sounded in the background. "It's a fine ass she has!" A feminine voice argued, Catherine , I suppose. "I don't care! My sister is not going to wear that!" The male screamed again. It sounded like Kurt. "She's got her mate back now. She needs more than jeans and t-shirts! He may want to take her out!" Catherine said. "Catz! I highly doubt that he's going to take me to dinner." My Bella disagreed. "But he may want to take you to the movies or clubbing. Don't be like that Bella or I'll finish packing your suitcase without your help! And you can be sure I'll include as little jeans and t-shirts as I can!" Catherine threatened. "It's Forks, for Christ's sake!" Kurt countered.
"Love, what going on?" I chuckled.
"Catz and Kurt are helping me to pack. I should probably go before they kill each other!" She sighed.
"I love you, my Bella."
"Love you too, Edward."
So? What did you think? Was it good? Did it suck? I could have done better? REVIEW and let me know what you think! I'm really nervous about this chapter because a lot of you are very excited about and I'm afraid you were waiting for something different. I hope I didn't disappoint you.
Since I'm on Spring break, I'll try to get another chapter out by next week but I'm not promising anything. I've given up on that since I feel so guilty when I can't update when I want because RL keeps getting in my way.
IMPORTANT: I'm looking for two Betas! One to beta this story and another one to help me edit my other story 'Consequences'. Anyway, I'm not really sure how this works but I'm counting on you to help me. So if you're interested, just review or PM me. I had been thinking about this for a while and after some people suggest it I decided that it was best to give you better chapters than full-of-mistakes-because-I'm-so-distracted ones.
To explain last chapter's title: At school, in Portuguese we studied a very famous Portuguese poet named Fernando Pessoa (probably you never heard of him but here he's really famous, even though he was kind of crazy) and one of the poems he wrote was called 'Lisboa Revisited' where he went back in time and talked about his childhood. I thought it fit since the chapter was mainly composed by flashbacks.
For those who celebrate it, HAPPY EASTER!!!!
REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! You know I love your reviews! HUgs
