Alice and Edward covered themselves as we left out of the building. My emotions were everywhere as I walked ahead of the group. My heart beat pulsing throughout my body as it increased. My hands shook from the situation we were just in. And what I have to do with Bella, she will never forgive me; if she would ever find out what I plan to do. I held my hands as they shook. "Menah," Bella grabs my hand, "This way." I follow her as Alice heads for a hotel to stay in.
Edward's stare stings me in the back as he walks behind us. I refused to look at him. Acknowledging the fact that he abandoned me again didn't help me keep my cool. My grip on Bella's hand increased as we made it inside the building. The hem of the dress brushed my legs as I rushed to find a place to sit. Alice went up to the counter to get a room. Bella lets go of my hand as I sit down by a window. I wrung my hands together and glanced at Edward then immediately turned back. He stared at me as if I wasn't supposed to.
After a moment Alice dragged us to the elevator. Bella said, "Are you okay, Menah?" Alice glanced back at us then she looks in Edward's direction. In the corner of my vision Edward stares at me.
I nodded my head, "I'm fine." The doors opened and Alice led us to a room at the end of the hall on the right. Inside of the room held a couch and a loveseat for the living area. Along with that there was a circle table and a flat screen on the wall. There was a small kitchen to the right when you walk in. In the bedroom there were two beds and a nightstand in the middle. The medium size bathroom was on the left side of the room when you walk in.
I walked in the bedroom and sat on the bed. Bella sits next to me. "What happened?" My face remained looking out the window. "Alice saw you fall off of a cliff and you disappeared?" she sat still waiting for my answer. She still didn't know what I was or what I knew about the pack. And she was not going to find out unless it was necessary.
"I was walking in the woods when I came to a stop by the cliff. My feet were hurting and I wanted to rest. On accident I slipped on a rock. I could've died if Paul wasn't there to pull me back from the edge." I told her.
"And, how did you get here?" she asked nosily.
I stared at her for a moment, "Now that is a question for another time Bella. I'm just worried about how Dad will take this when we get home." I moved to the middle of the bed. "I just… I don't know how all of this could have happened. I don't think I could do this anymore." The door opened and Alice stepped on. I just shook my head and held my knees up to my chest.
Alice said, "Come one Bella. We should find you both something to eat." Bella got up with one last look to me and walked out with Alice.
My thoughts went to Edward who stood in the other room. "Edward." I thought remembering that he could only read my mind when I directed it to him. He made no noise coming into the room. His scent coming towards me. I padded the spot next to me. When he sat down I asked, "Why didn't you come back for me?"
He reached over for my hand and I let him. He squeezed my hand and said, "I was going to, I promise. But something was holding me back. It wasn't a voice or anyone; just every time I would think to come back I would always stop myself. And I knew you could take care of that woman. She could have taken anyone of us down and I needed to get them out there." he ran a hand through his hair. "I swear to you that I was going to come back. I could not live without you."
A small smile graced my face. "It's okay now. It's over. I don't want any more drama that's for sure." My face saddened, "But you'll forgive me right." I took my hand from his and got off of the bed. The memory of kissing Paul ran through my head. When I kissed him I saw Edward actually kissing me. I didn't want it to stop. I looked out of the window. "I'm so sorry, Edward." he saw what went through my mind since I directed it to him. He saw what I saw, him laying over me and kissing me.
"Menah. You have nothing to be sorry about." He wrapped his arms around me. The sunlight makes him shine. "We weren't actually together. You deserved to feel wanted. I wasn't there for you. But now I am." His voice turned different.
I laugh, "Do you remember the first time we met." My hands covered his that wrapped around my waist. "You made me feel… and when you kissed me." I shook my head and turned in his arms. He had a smile on his face. "I've missed you." He leaned his face towards me. I met his lips with a kiss. I wrapped my arms around his neck. I moved my lips gently against his. A shudder went down my spine as he bit my bottom lip. His tongue entered my mouth and I welcomed it with mine. My moan muffled by his lips.
He pulls away from me. I would give anything to see how he looked with rosy cheeks and swollen lips. Even to see his human eye color, green. Edward moved his face by my hair. I felt him breathe in and then he bit the tip of my ear. My hands tugged at his hair. "We should stop. They could be back any minute." I said not really wanting to stop.
He smiled down at me. "Alice took Bella to the market to get me a shirt. They won't be back so soon." I smiled and sat down on the bed. The sun is still on Edward as we lie down and make out before they can come back. I still wouldn't take him back so easily. I just wanted to be happy right now knowing that they were coming back to Forks.
