Her frozen heart (REWRITING)

chapter 10

"Edward... I can't say it back. Not yet anyway. I need you to show me not tell me.."
"Bella, I will. I prom-"
"No Edward enough of the promises" I cut off.
"Alright, I won't promise but I will try my hardest."

"Now my lady," Edward says cheekily "Let me walk you home?"

Now it's my turn to put on a mischievous smile. "Only if you can catch me first!"

I start off running at human pace, Edward smirks before zooming up to me but before he can tag me, I run full speed.

I watch as Edward stands dumbfounded.
I stop running and start laughing uncontrollably at his expression.
However pretty boy decides it's a great opportunity to come and tag me.
"Ughh!" I shout!
We link arms and quite literally walk back to my house.
We talk about everything, except for his family.

It's not to long before we arrive at my house.
"Thank you" I say
"A pleasure, my lady" he replies in a very fake English accent. (Not that I think we have accents)

I giggle at his attempt.

Edward stands and rubs the back of his neck.
"Um... do you want to come inside?" I ask him.
"Is that okay?" He asks nervously.
"Duh!"
He walks inside and I lead him to the living room.
"Bella?" He ask
"Yeah?"
"What happened to Charlie and your Mum?"

I look at the photos in the frame on the table.
My mum and me when I visited her in Jacksonville and me and my dad watching the baseball with Billy and Jake.

I look at my feet.
"I told them I died..." I pause. my voice cracks.

"You don't have to tell me" he whispers.

"Um.. no it's okay. I told them I got ill, had to got to a hospital in Finland. Dad wanted to come too but I told him to stay with Sue. Mum wanted me to call everyday so she could discuss her wedding plans." My voice is shaky but I carry on. "A while after the Wedding I pretended to be a nurse calling my mum and dad to say I had passed away. They had a closed coffin funeral and I sat on a tree in the ceremony, I watched them cry and I felt so guilty.
Mum died of a heart attack after deciding at the age of 72 to do one last rollercoaster!" I laugh with no humour.
"Dad died of a stroke, I held his hand in the hospital and he cried. I felt like I somehow put things right in that moment. He tried to talk but he couldn't his stroke was too big. I don't know... I think he wanted to say I love you bells but I couldn't quite hear it. He really tried though. He fell asleep later on and died... it was peaceful." My voice breaks and I start sobbing with no tears as usual.

"It's going to be alright.." he whispers

"Okay..." I whisper back
He chuckles and quotes a book that I read about 128 years ago.

"Maybe okay, will be our always..."

I giggle...
