Chapter 7
Bella walked down the street. She could hardly see because of how much she was crying. She stopped at a restaurant and sat down in front of it. She pulled her knees up so she could rest her chin on them and then covered her face with her arms.
“Bella Swan?”
Someone had called her. She wiped the tears from her eyes and then looked up.
“Yes.” Bella said.
A woman with blonde hair was staring at her.
“May I sit with you?” she asked.
Bella moved over a bit so the lady could lean against the wall as well. The lady leaned against the wall then slide down. She wasn’t dressed as fancy as Bella but she was dressed up.
“I’m Emily by the way. I wouldn’t expect you to know me, but I know you very well.” She said fiddling through she purse. She pulled out a cigarette and a lighter.
“What one?” she asked lighting her and handing Bella one. Bella shook her heard no and then placed her chin on her arms that were folded on her knees.
“How do you know me?” Bella asked looking out onto the road.
Emily took a puff of the cigarette then blew out the smoke making sure not to hit Bella.
“I’m with a man who’s in love with somebody else. And I’m sure that the only reason I’m with him is because he doesn’t want to upset his father. Anyone come to mind?”
Bella turned her head to look at Emily.
“I’m sorry.” Bella said.
Emily coughed on her cigarette. She was startled by what Bella had said. “You’re sorry?” she said. “Sorry for what? You didn’t do anything.”
“I’m the reason you and Edward aren’t married.” She said looking back to the road.
“Bella, you are absolutely right. But can I tell you something?”
Bella looked back at her again.
“If it weren’t for you, I’d be stuck in a marriage where my husband didn’t love me and I would be miserable.” She lifted her left hand.
“See this?” she said pointing with the other hand to the ring. “This doesn’t mean anything anymore. It hasn’t for the last year and a half. I really thought he would get over you but he hasn’t and I don’t think he will.”
Bella closed her eyes. She loved Edward but how could she forgive him for doing this.
“Bella. Honey he loves you okay? Believe me I would know.” She said taking another puff. She put down her cigarette and then stomped it out with her foot.
“Thank you Emily.” Bella said.
Emily stood up then. “Bella promise me one thing.”
“Anything” she replied.
“Please do the right thing.” She said and then turned to walk down the street.
“Emily!” Bella said stopping Emily. Bella stood up and walked over to her. “Why are you being so nice to me?”
Emily smiled “Because I want to see Edward happy and you haven’t done anything wrong.” She waved goodbye and then walked down the street back to the theater.
Bella stood there; she didn’t know what to think of the whole situation. Should she forgive Edward for what he did to her and Emily? Bella didn’t know what to do. She sat back down and stared out onto the road.
~*~*~*~
Edward was waiting back stage. He wished he could have followed Bella but Emily had caught him and told him he was going on soon. He paced back and forth he had no reason to be nervous right now. The one he loved wasn’t there to see him play and that was the only thing that would make him nervous. He was also wondering where Emily had gone. She hadn’t followed him back into the theater.
Edward heard the MC talking. It was show time.
“..and now we present a very talented musician at such an age. Please give a warm welcome to Mr. Edward Cullen.”
Edward heard the crowd starting to clap and he walked out on stage. He glanced over the audience hoping for Bella to be there. His hope died when he saw she wasn’t there. He sat at the bench and positioned his fingers on the piano keys.
He began to play her song. Her lullaby was the only thing he wanted to play right now. How he wished things were different. That he wasn’t such an asshole to Bella and to Emily.
Once he had finished the song the audience started to cheer. He stood up and took a bow then walked back stage to his dressing room. He sat in his chair for a while attempting to listen to the concert. His mind was not there with him; he couldn’t stop thinking of Bella. He had to talk to her again. He grabbed his jacket and walked out of the dressing room.
He made his way to the front hall trying to figure out what he would say to her once he found her. He was so focused on what to say he didn’t realize who was in his way. He looked up to find Emily standing in front of him. She smiled at him.
“Edward I want you to make the right choice okay.” She said. She lifted her left hand and took of the ring. She picked up Edwards hand and placed the ring in his palm and then closed his hand into a fist.
“I understand even though I don’t like it.” She said. “Now go on you need to find Bella.”
She lightly pushed him to the door. “Go on.” She said walking to the door of the concert hall.
“Emily,” Edward said turning back and walking over to her. “Thank you” he said leaning over and kissing her on the cheek.
Emily smiled. “Go and find her Edward.”
Edward walked out the theater and down the steps. He crossed the street and took the path Bella had. Emily had told him that Bella was at the restaurant down the street. He made his way down the long sidewalk hoping she was still there.
~*~*~*~
Bella got up sick and tired looking at the road. She walked down the street hoping she was making the right decision. She knew in her heart she was but her mind had other thoughts.
“What if he hurts me again? What will happen to me then? I do love Edward and if Emily is right he loves me to.”
Bella stared up ahead. She saw a man running past the crowds of people on the sidewalk.
“Edward?” she said softly.
The man became clearer. He ran past more people, it was Edward he had come to find her.
“Edward!” Bella yelled running up to him. This was a bad idea for her to do. Her shoe got caught in a lifted up part of the sidewalk and she tripped. Two steady arms grabbed her before she fell onto the sidewalk. They lifted her up so she was standing staring into those perfect green eyes.
“Bella I’m sorry for everything and for…” he was stopped by Bella’s finger on his mouth.
“Edward I love you. I always have and always will. The only thing is that I don’t trust you as well as I did before. I want to be with you. I want to marry you someday but for right now we need to take things slow.” Bella said. She moved her finger away and took Edwards hand.
“Is that alright with you?” She asked.
Edward smiled and leaned in to kiss her forehead. “Yes that’s perfect as long as I’m with you everything will be fine.”
They walked down the sidewalk, not knowing where to go but as long as they were together they would make memories that would last a lifetime.
THE END
Now this is the end of this story I do have an Epilogue in mind for this one. Just say if you wanna read it and I'll post it. Hope you all love this story. :)
