Knowing

by CLWN

They both know, but will either one admit it? After more than two years apart can Bella and Edward find their way back to each other? Sometimes, knowing just isn't enough. Edward and Bella. Exactly 100 words per chapter, more of a writing exercise than anything else. But I like it. Stephenie Meyer owns Twilight and all its characters.

22. Chapter 22

He was my first.

First kiss.

First boyfriend.

First time.

He was my everything.

And I was his.

In high school we were inseparable.

Through college we were happy.

We lived together.

But when he proposed.

We were twenty-two.

And I didn't know if we'd experienced enough of the world to know we were forever.

So I said no.

I didn't mean never,

I meant not now.

But Edward couldn't see that,

He didn't understand.

He was so sure of us,

It broke his heart that I wasn't.

I never wanted to hurt him.

But back then,

I didn't know.
