As i ran back to the Volvo, i thought of Jacob, had i hurt him? He was the one who hurt me first, not returning my calls, letters, or emails. It was ridiculous, and i had to do something about it. I found edward sitting in the Volvo scanning the horizon. He smiled as i came in sight. I jumped into him and he caught me with ease.
"So how did it go?" he asked casually, trying to cover up any anxiousness. I laughed.
"Fine, he will answer me next time." i answered firmly and edward relaxed a bit. He carried me to the car and layed me down. He jumped to the driver seat and turned to me.
"So where do you want to go?" he asked, a spark in is eyes. I grinned. Where should we go? We could go anywhere, anytime.
"Well, i was kind of hoping i could check up on Charlie, maybe just peek, see how he's doing. He'll be home, its the weekend." i answered. Edward looked thoughtfully at me.
"Well, you'll have to be careful, you cant let him see you. Your eyes you know." he answered sternly as he revved up the engine.
"Thank you edward!" i exclaimed as i bounded formard to give him a quick kiss on his cheek. He grinned his perfect crooked smile.
"Anything for you my love." he replied.
We arrieved at my old house. It looked the same as before, but somehow, it looked empty, like a haunted house. We walked up the pavement to the house and i quickly bent down to get the key under the eave. Swiftly, i opened the door and we slipped inside soundlessly. Charlie who was watching TV looked up suddenly. He didn't look any different except a few grey hairs starting to form.
'Bella? Are you there?" he asked. Shock and pain jolted threw me as Edward conforted me. Sadly, Charlie sunk back into the couch.
"What am i thinking? Bella's gone. She has her new life, why would she come here?" he muttered. Edward rubbed my shoulder tenderly. Sadness overwhelmed me. The people i loved were suffering, suffering from my dissapearal and they were trying to forget. That's why jacob doesn't answer, because he's trying to forget....
Edward motioned for us to leave but i stayed rooted in my spot. Edward sighed and quietly picked me up. He closed the door behind us silently and he quickly drove off.
"Edward, what have i done?" i exclaimed when we were driving. Edward glanced puzzildly at me.
'Nothing love. you knew this would happen, it's not easy." he answered. Shock was still writtedn all over my face, but i composed my self and starred out into the sunset.
"I geuss i did know...Is there any way?" I asked pleadingly at Edward. He looked sadly at me. He shook his head.
"no my love, im sorry."
He placed his hand on my back and rubbed gently. I sighed, and relaxed instantly. He bent down and kissed my forhead gently.
"Your right, i put my past behind me, and im going to keep it that way."
