I woke the next morning as I rubbed my sore eyes and got out of bed "Ugh!" my bones we're sore as I slowly walked over to the window opening it to an unexpected rain fall and pine trees. What the heck? I turned around to find a different room. The right side of the wall was glass that overlooked a backyard filled with pine tree and on the other side of the room was filled with a bookshelf filled with different books and Cd's.
"Where am I?" I brushed my hand through my hair as I tried to remember something to help myself discover why I was here. Phil. Hospital. Edward .. Edward. I suddenly remembered being in Edwards arms as he tried to comfort me after Phil's death, in his arms I remembered feeling safe, happy and complete. God what was wrong with me, he loved someone else.
I walked back over to the bed and sat down on the edge when I remembered his words to me "She's not as important as now" I knew he was up to something, maybe he was acting like my prince charming to get me to become his wife so he has nothing to lose and still mess around behind my back. I twirled my hair in my fingers as I fall back on the bed and sighed.
"Good morning" I sat up as Esme walked in with a tray of food. I haven't seen Esme in a long time, since my outrage at Charlie's two months ago. I felt embarrassed and stupid for that day, Esme was incredible woman with a heart of gold but I still treated her horrible "How are you feeling?"
I sat up straighter as I hugged my knees to my chest and sighed "I've been better .. what am I doing here? Wait where is here?" I looked around at the room again as I looked at the guitar sitting in the corner of the room with a bunch of papers around it.
"Bella dear I know you have a lot of questions for us .. after we found out what my son was up to which was a shame towards you, I can't believe him" Esme dropped her head in disapproval as I rubbed her back.
"It's alright Esme"
"No Bella it isn't, I raised Edward to become better than this, to treat girl perfect and to be a gentlemen. For him to come up with this horrible idea was not the son I raised" she sighed and then gave me a motherly smile and pushed the tray of food closer to me "eat up" and with that she left. She was obviously upset in the news.
I pushed the tray away as I walked over to the guitar and picked up the papers. I looked at the paper and read over the notes and then the lyrics all written in elegant writing that I notice was Edwards.
Forever can never be long enough for me
To feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now, we wouldn't let them see
But there's one more thing left to do
and that the weight has lifted and love has surely shifted my way
Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Say you will
I dropped the papers as I backed away from them. I covered my mouth as tears threaten to betray me and come falling down my face any second. He was going to marry her. I was just the inconvenient little girl standing in his way of what he wanted in life, his girlfriend. I quickly wiped my face as a tear ran down.
"Bella you better not be still sleeping" Alice walked into the bed room holding a change of clothes as she smiled at the empty bed. "Bella .. what's wrong?" she dropped the clothes on the bed before walking over to me. I moved backward as I pressed against the glass window pointing to the papers.
She walked over and picked them up. She looked back at me as she quickly asked. "Again I'm asking, why are you crying?" She walked over to me and sat down in front of me extending a hand to wipe away a tear. "Bella that song don't mean anything"
"Don't mean anything! He wanted to marry her and you're trying to tell me it didn't mean anything" I got up as I put the papers back on the desk and sighed. "He doesn't want me Alice and as much as I would want him to want me, he never will"
"Since when do you like my brother?"
"I don't know really, he was there for me at the hospital and when I was in his arms everything felt safe and alright for a small moment" I confessed as I suddenly wish I didn't.
Alice jumped off the floor and grabbed my hand "You like my brother" she smiled and jumped up and down.
"Maybe I do, but that don't matter Alice. The song. His girlfriend that's the stuff that matters to him .. not me"
"Edward has always been the goodie too shoes. The know it and until he went off to college, where his neglected teenage years caught up to him and bit him in the ass. He started going to parties, drinking, doing drugs anything you name he tried. Edward changed since the day we all said goodbye to him downstairs five years ago and I know his so-called girlfriend and she is a horrible bitch" Alice laughed as she smiled at me "She's the reason Edward isn't Edward anymore" she stopped as her face became serious "That morning at the hospital was the first time I seen the old Edward, the caring kind and compassionate Edward"
I nodded as she reached out and grabbed my hand "You bring out the good in him"
"What happen after I left? where am I?"
"You're in Edward bedroom at our parents house. Edward never left your side, he almost never let you go" She laughed "You should have seen him when you fainted or what he called fainted. Me and the doctors agreed you just fell asleep but oh no Edward didn't believe anyone"
"How did I end up here?"
"Edward didn't want to leave you and Renee is in forks also visiting a few friend. Edward convinced Esme to let you stay here, which didn't have mush convincing she already loves you"
"So Edward is the reason I'm here?" I said as I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"Yeah why do you sound so pissed?"
"First he wanted me to marry him and have his girlfriend on the side and now he has kidnapped me"
"I hardly call this being kidnapped Bella" Alice sighed as she back up towards the door "I'm not taking my brother's side but you are jumping to conclusions, we're only looking out for you" She turned around and walked out the door closing it behind her.
I sighed and dropped my head in defeat. I grabbed the clothes she had picked out for me and opened the door of Edwards room and walked down the hall opening every door as I walked along the hall way "Third door coming up on your left" I looked up before at Edward as he pushed a door opened. "You looked confused"
I closed the door as I walked up to him and into the bathroom mumbling a silent thank you before closing the door in his face. I leaned against the door as I heard the sound of him walking away. I pushed myself off the door as I walked over to the mirror pulling the hair through my fingers trying to fix it. I put on the new clothes wondering how Alice had my size since we're complete different sizes. I opened the bathroom door as I walked out into the warm hallway. I heard Emmett's loud voice float in from downstairs.
Me and my thoughts was what I needed. I walked downstairs and over to the closet in the porch pulling on a pair of rubber boats and a jacket before walking outside. I followed the yard as I reached out to touch the branches.
I was here because of Edward, he cared for me, he never let me out of his sight, he was worried about my health. I didn't understand why, he had a girlfriend who in Alice's words was a horrible bitch but still he had her, he loved her and cared for her more than me.
He was going to marry her and now everything he has planned was coming to a stop because of me. I though so much of what I had to lose in this situation, my life, my freedom, my choices but I never realized Edward was going to lose all of those too and his chance to marry his girlfriend.
"Bella" I looked behind me as I saw Edward walking towards me "What are you doing out here in the pouring rain" I looked around me at the rain as I finally felt the cold. I just shrugged.
"I had to think about a few things" I leaned against a rock and looked down at my feet.
"So you couldn't choice one of the other 5 empty bedrooms in the warm dry house, you had to come outside in the pouring rain and get soaked to think!" he was yelling at me as I sighed.
"Can you please just leave me alone" I couldn't stand to look up at him, I didn't want to see the sadness in his eyes anymore.
"Why would I?"
I looked up as I suddenly felt angry pressing through my veins. "Why would you? Oh I don't know maybe because I asked you to leave me the fuck alone Edward" I pushed myself off the rock as I walked closer to him keeping eye contact "Why would you care Edward? Huh? Tell me why you would care about me when you already have someone you love and can be with, while I'll be stringed along behind you"
"Bella" His voice sounded hurt as he reached out an arm to touch me but I moved backwards in time "You don't understand, I have to do this. I have to because I'm not dating her anymore, after I seen you outside of the hospital crying in the pouring down I just couldn't take it. I had to be with you. Bella I know this sound crazy but I choice you, Tanya is gone"
I looked down to the ground. I had to get out of here.
"Bella" Edwards hand caught mine as he pulled me towards him and kissed me. The kiss was full of passion as he broke away I already missed his lips. "I choice you, everything in the past is the past for a reason, I want to stay and have a future with you"
I looked in his eyes for some sort of hidden reason behind this, some sort of lie he was hiding. I pushed away as he looked hurt "You had to do this Edward? You had to choice me right?" I zipped up the jacket father as I backed up "I wasn't and never will be your choice it will always be her"
"Bella you know what isn't right" he moved closer to me as I put my hand up motioning for him to stop.
"Then why we're you going to marry her Edward. I seen the song, I seen the words. You wanted to marry her" He looked at me as his jaw dropped. Busted. "Just leave me alone and do what you want to do"
I turned around as I ran up the wet lawn and back into the house. I pushed the door close to I leaned my head against it "whoa who did you kill bells" Emmett's voice sounded behind me as I pushed off the door and stepped out of the rubber boats. Rose walked into the hall as she hid Emmett in the head.
"Don't mind idiot here. What happened?" Rose helped me out of the soaked jacket which was skin tight to my arms.
"Edward" was all I said as Emmett left us. Rose grabbed my hand and pulled me upstairs and into a pink room, which I guessed was hers.
The next morning I woke as I rubbed my eyes and slowly got out of bed. I found myself in Edward's room again as I sighed and put my head in my hands. I walked over to the corner as I picked up the pieces of paper which his song was wrote on. "Why don't you check the date on top" I turned around as Edward walked in with two mugs in his hands.
I rolled my eyes as I flipped up the top part of the paper which was bent back. March 10th 2012. I looked back at Edward as he smiled at me. I got up as I hold the paper in the air "How is this possible, two days ago I was in Jacksonville and it was the same day Phil died"
Edward placed the two mugs on his dressed as he walked over to me, taking my hands and pulling me towards the bed. "I wrote that at 6 am two days ago. I found out you have disappear and I became worried. I didn't understand why, I was dating Tanya so with you out of the picture I would have the chance to be with her and introduce her to my parents. When I wrote that all I could think about was you" He looked up from his hands and into my eyes "That song is meant for you and only you"
I looked back down at the paper as Edward kissed my forehead "I have to get going, I have to help dad at the hospital for college since I'm going to become a doctor"
He closed the door after passing me a mug of hot chocolate and another kiss on the forehead. He made this song for me. I put down the mug and walked over to grab the other pieces of paper when I notice one pushed under the table next to his guitar. I reached under and got it as I realized it was the missing page of his song.
I looked at the missing page as I read over the last part of my song. He made a song for me. I smiled as I read the lyrics.
Marry me?
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
say you will
say you will
Marry me Tanya?
I looked at the last part again as tears came to my eyes. That ass hole lied to me.
"Hey bells" I looked up from the papers as I put on a fake smile.
Rose walked into Edward's room "We're going out parting tonight, you in?" Drink, get drunk, forget about Edward. Sounds like a plan
"Sure"
