Chapter 20: Why Me?

(APOV)

We got to the beach house and Edward took off yelling something about Bella missing. Everything was all a tizzy. Edward went to look at the beach, and Rose and Emmett went to look in town. With that they disappeared out the door. I continued to search for Bella’s future but nothing it was completely blank just like before.

“How can this be Jazz. I don’t understand this. Her future is just blank.”

“I don’t know Alice” he said to me.

“Can you hear or feel her anywhere?” I asked him.

“No, I haven’t been able to pick up her sent either. It’s here in the house but I haven’t been able to go search outside.” he said to me.

“Go Jazz. Please we have to find her. Not only for Emmett but for Edward too. He will die if we don’t find her. He loves her whether he wants to admit it or not.” I said to him.

Jasper just nodded and took off outside. He wasn’t gone long.

“Her sent goes down to the beach but from there I can’t pick it up anywhere. But Edwards is all over the place down there.” he told me.

Just then Edward came back.

“I can’t find her Alice. I can’t hear her or smell her. I don’t know what to do.”

He looked so broken.

“I’m sorry Edward. I can’t even help you, I can’t see her future. It’s blank.”

“What do you mean it’s blank. If you can’t see it doesn’t that mean she’s…”

“Not necessarily. Remember when she locked herself in her room after Charlie died. I couldn’t see her then either.”

“Your right Alice. No reason to jump a head of ourselves.” Jasper added.

That seemed to perk him up a bit. We heard Emmett’s car pulling into the drive from the road way.

“Maybe they have found something?” Jasper asked.

“Not that I can tell” Edward said disappointed.

Emmett and Rose came through the door. Something in his emotions gave Jasper a worried look. They told us how Bella concocted this whole thing to get Edward to confess his true feelings. She is one sly girl. Suddenly I had a vision of Edward carrying what looked like a lifeless Bella. I would be freaking if I didn’t know what was going on. He came in looking so heartbroken, apologizing to Emmett. Emmett said to take her upstairs. Edward was trying everything to get her to wake up, to come back to him. When he kissed her, she kissed him back and he jumped. It was the funniest thing ever. Then he was pissed.

Damn she’s good. She figured out how to get him to show his true feelings for her.

Edward looked at me then with a glare.

“What. Don’t look at me like that. She came up with this. Just because you don’t agree with her methods doesn’t mean I don’t agree with the out come.”

Bella then pulled his face back toward her.

“Edward please don’t be mad. I just wanted to know how you felt about me.”

“Bella I’ve always Loved you. I have since the moment I saw you.”

“AAAWWWWEEEE” we all said together.

(EPOV)

I felt lost, confused, and pissed all at once. Then Bella kissed me.

“Alright shows over now get out.” I said.

Bella chuckled. They all left. I walked over and closed the door.

“So Emmett told you?”

“Yep like a week ago” she said

I was shocked. She knew all this time and just now called us up here.

“I see you had time to figure out a way to work around us.” I said.

“Of course. I still have many questions though. Emmett couldn’t answer everything. And then of course there was some he said only you guys should answer.” she said to me.

“Well we have plenty of time what would you like to know?”

“Do you sleep in coffins like in the movies?” she asked.

I laughed.

“No actually we don’t sleep at all.”

“Ever?”

“No”

“What do you do then?”

“Well some times we hunt, I like to read and play music, or if your wondering about couples like Alice and Jazz I’m sure you can figure out what they do in their free time”

“OH”

She giggled at that and blushed.

“Now I have a question for you” I said.

“Yes”

“How did you get your pulse so low?”

“I learned a few tricks when I was taking karate. But then I watched this video on line where these Buddhist monks slowed it almost completely. They say it’s a form of hibernation.”

“Wow. Okay. What about your scent?”

“Oh that was simple. Chemistry.”

“huh”

“I played with some chemicals and found that if I showered with them my body smelled different.”

“Why didn’t I think of that.”

“Cause you aren’t a human trying to prank a Vampire. Well okay not one Vampire. Four.” she smiled.

I laughed at this.

“Your right”

I walked over to her then and pulled her to me. Her heartbeat and smell were returning slowly. I kissed her once more. I started to pull away but she tangled her fingers into my hair and pushed her lips harder into mine. Who was I to argue. When the kiss was over I looked into her eyes, they were sparkling. I leaned into smell her perfume and I could barely smell her.

“Bella love”

“yes”

“Could you do me one small favor?”

“Anything Edward” she replied. Oh the possibilities. Nope focus.

“Could you go take a shower. I prefer your smell to no smell at all.”

She chuckled and disappeared into her bathroom. Then she turned and peeked her head out the door.

“Care to Join me?” she asked.

The thoughts running through my head right now. But I can’t not yet.

“Not this time. Can I get a rain check?”

“Sure”

“Which room is mine?”

“The one across the hall”

With that I left her to get cleaned up. I went to my room and unpacked. Getting settled in didn’t take long. I could hear the others down stairs. They were talking about the prank. I can’t believe they would do this to me. But if I was being honest, it was really good. Bella put a lot of thought and work into just getting me to admit my love for her. I’m just glad she has feelings for me too, maybe not love just yet but it’s a start. I heard the water stop in Bella’s bathroom. Good back to smelling like Bella. I could hear her dressing. Then her footsteps were getting closer. She knocked on my door.

“Come in Bella”

She entered wearing a pair of blue sweatpants with a Forks high school logo on it, and a gray NYC t-shirt. I don’t care she looks beautiful in anything.

I patted the bed beside me. She came and sat down next to me.

“So all that drama just for me?” I asked her.

She blushed.

” I must give you credit you had me fooled. Which with my senses isn’t easy.”

“I know but it was worth it”

I leaned in and kissed her gently.

“I love you Bella”

“Ditto.”
