Chapter 24
I'm so happy I finally got away from everyone and every thing. I now have been working in China for a couple months. I help children who go in for surgery to get their lip fix. They had a cleft plait. I loved to see kids smile. I want to help them as much as I can. Every child is beautiful and blessed with a gorgeous smile. I'm fortunate to wake up everyday and make kids smile. To comfort them before their big day. The first couple days were over whelming to see everything. I took many picture with lots of babies, kids, even some teenagers.
The one thing I do miss is connection. It's very hard to get service with my cell phone. I've tried to call Bella again. It just keeps saying the service is disconnected. So instead I wrote. I wrote her everyday. I waited at the mail box everyday. Nothing. After a long day in the hospital I walked back to my suit in the flat. a certain magazines caught my eye on the way back. Thank god it was in English. "Bella Swan Tired of waiting" "Isabella Moved On" "Bella's Single Life" Curious to see what they all had to say so I bought all three. I speed walked to my apartment eager to read the article. Mostly the pictures of her caught my attention. She was partying in most of the photos. Looking stunning as always. My heart melted when I saw her smiling and being happy. I wish I could have her back in my arms and call her mine. I needed to talk to her somehow. Just to listen to her voice again. I picked up my phone trying again to call her. I stood by the window to make sure I got reception. The phone actually started ringing. The phone rang about four times.
"Hello?" She answered sounding like she was gasping for air.
"Bella," I called her name.
"haha Jake stop!" She laughed on the other line.
"I wanted-"
She kept laughing and giggling "Jake!-" The call ended. And she was cut off. I decided to call her home maybe they can leave a message for me. I dialed her home phone.
"Hello?" A voice on the other line picked up. Sounded like Angela.
"Hey Angela is Edward,"
"Oh Hello Edward, Bella isn't home at the moment,"
"I know, can you just tell her I called?"
"Of course, but have you tried her cell phone,"
I lied not to make myself sound stupid, "No, her phone was off."
"Well I'll let her know bye," She hung up. I pressed the end button slowly while looking at the photos in the magazine.
Bella Pov
Jake looked at me. "Who is it?" He asked curious.
I answered it before he could look at the screen. "Hello?" Suddenly Jake tickled the sides of my stomach. "Haha! Jake Stop!" I begged. I tried to stay quiet holding in my giggling and laughing.
"I wanted-" Jake then tickled under my arms. making me drop the phone. He quickly picked it up and ended the call. I shook my head laughing.
"You asshole," I giggled. I did really want to know what Edward wanted. There was a part of me that loved and miss him.
Jake and I have been hanging out for a long time now everyday. He makes me forget the absence of Edward. But just lately I haven't been able to stop thinking of Edward. I guess being with Jake was working until now. We were sitting on the couch as normal. Him flipping through channels, me reading a book. I heard the mail man outside the house. I got up and went to go head for the mail. Of course when I'm busy the phone rings.
"Jake get that while I get the mail." I went to the door and got the mail. I went into the kitchen to see what was taking Jake so long. He finally hung up, his expression was mad. "Who was that?" I pleaded.
"Someone." He assured me. Suspiciously I looked at the caller ID. It was Edward.
"What did he want?" I questioned.
"I have to go," He mumbled making his way to the door.
"Wait tell me what he said!" I grabbed his arm making a golden envelop fall out of his pocket. I looked down and picked it up. "What's this?" I firmly held it in my hand.
"Mine," He tried to snatch it back but failed. I read the front address. "Why does it say my name..." I started to open it.
My Dear Bella,
Letter three hundred and sixty-five. What ever happened to letters by hand? I know you have heard me say this in all my past letters. I love you. I still love you, and I'll always love you. This is my last and final letter to you. You have not responded to all my other ones, I don't expect you to respond to this one either. But if you shall get this. I hope you have moved on in life, and you are very happy. I have to tell you I'm sorry again for the three hundred and sixty- fifth time. My father was making me go to all these events just to be away from you. I shouldn't have gone to any of them, I should've been there with you. Who the guy you are with is one lucky guy to have an extraordinary, beautiful, intelligent women to call his. After this I won't bother you anymore. I need to let go like you have with me. Right now I have stopped my Smile program to complete my duties. I am now to be engaged to Princess Tanya. Following orders from my father. This is a good bye letter. Wish you and your family luck and happiness in life. My beautiful Bella, you were and will always be my first love. You still have my heart.
Love always,
Edward.
My hand ran over the pen writing with tears flowing down my face. "I have to see him," I whispered. "He's engaged,"
"Who the hell would want to marry that son of a bitch," I looked at Jacob shocked at what he said.
"Wait, this says letter three hundred and sixty- five. Where all the other three hundred and sixty four letters!" I indicated. He didn't say anything. Then I finally got it.
"You took them..."
"Bella it was for your own good."
"Who's good, mine or yours. You knew how much pain I was in."
"Bella your mine now-"
"Woah, woah, woah! My heart belongs to Edward, it always has and always will!" I expressed. I ran upstairs to pack a suit case throwing random clothes.
"Where the hell are you going?" He stood at the doorway.
"To London, to see him. Tell him I love him."
"Bella don't go back to the bastard remember what he did to you?" I stopped and looked at him.
"You weren't the best boyfriend in the world either. You cheated on me remember?" I glared at him giving him attitude. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain hit my cheek. I fell to the floor holding it. My cheek stung, but I laid there in shock.
"Bella I'm so sorry," He tried to help me up.
"Don't TOUCH me!" I pushed him away and grabbed my stuff putting it in the car. I got in the car and drove off to the airport with the letter in my pocket.
Now who's looking like the bad guy? Review 20 for next Chapter!
