Chapter 2

50 years ago, Edward Cullen, the most gorgeous, heartbreakingly beautiful vampire that she'd known since she came to Forks had left her. He was the love of her life, the reason for her existence, he who once told her numerous times that he loved her and would never leave her, who dazzled her every time and smiled her favorite crooked smile at her, broke her by leaving so abruptly that it came to her as a shock and had done a great deal of damage to her. For years the wound still hasn't healed, and she doubt if it ever will. Even after she's changed, the cruel memories of her past human life still haunted her in her dreams, her thoughts.

50 years later, she still loved him most dearly, even though he doesn't and had probably moved on. Her memories are starting to fade away and her wound, slowly with a snail-like speed began to heal. It took all of her strength and will power not to think of him, to treat this catastrophic experience as just one of her nightmares.

But now, on a fine Friday late afternoon, when everything seemed so smooth and at ease, fate decided that it was time that two old lovers would reunite. Edward Cullen stepped inside the store politely dismissing his enthusiastic saleswomen. Bella, behind the racket dropped the gown she was admiring. And went into momentary shock, she felt her golden eyes widen to their limits and her once deceased heart, slowly starting to revive again, she was lost in his strikingly beautiful face and his molten gold eyes. Something in her mind contorted slightly and her short-lived piece of paradise was quickly slept away by a thunderstorm. Following close behind him was also an inhumanely attractive creature, her short skirt showed fully of her slim and pale legs, and her blonde hair silky and luscious. Her presence was like a mountain-full weight dropped onto Bella's vulnerable heart, crushing it. She was lingering behind him, deliberately swaying her hips. Bella unable to hold herself let out a soft sob. It was so quiet that only her kind could hear it. Edward turned his head to her direction. Bella immediately snapped out of it and crouched swiftly, picking up the gown and returning it to its rightful place without a sound. He didn't see her , but he'd sworn he saw something behind the rackets moving.

Bella, unable to stay in this shop for one more minute, afraid that she might lose her sanity by this overwhelming emotion, quickly sought for the back door as a hasty escape. Just as she was about to make her way to the door, a firm hand gripped her, and a mixed feeling of dread and anxiety overcame her.

"Oh good Bella, you're here. I just want someone to cover for me today. Oh wait… where's Lilly? Oh never mind, that lazy thing. I've got some errands to run, can you help me with the 2 customers outside? I think they're looking for a wedding gown and some decorations. Thanks I owe you!" With that, Lilly's mom used her escape route and went out from the back door, leaving her to face the hardest challenge she'd faced in years.

Bella stood there numbly, unsure what she should do now, fate seemed intent for them both to meet again. She turned reluctantly towards the front part of the store, her wound in her chest, getting wider as she walked towards them. Suddenly, she felt some liquid like substance squeezing out of her eyes. She looked confused, as vampire can't cry out tears. The liquid substance first unwillingly came out of her eyes then swiftly rolling down her cheeks, and a sudden pain struck her. The liquid-like substance burnt its way down, Bella quickly wiped it away. The path of her unknown substance was clear on her face as it left a trail of red marks as it made its way down. Bella grimaced at the pain, the sensitive nose grasping the smell ---------- venom. Was that even possible for a vampire to cry out venom, no wonder it burnt her stone cold cheeks, like acid rain eroding a rock.

Edward turned around, stunned. And Bella just stared at him blankly. She didn't show any emotion, she knew he'd moved on and she was the only one stupid enough to mourn for this doomed relationship.

"Hi! I'm Tanya and this is my boyfriend Edward. We would like to choose some gown for our up-coming wedding… Edward?" Tanya. Of course, the strawberry blonde. Tanya turned her head to Edward, seeing he became unresponsive.

"Welcome, well the owner just now had something to do, so I'll be replacing her." Bella spoke softly, her mind and mouth wasn't connected anymore, her mind was faraway and her mouth just seemed to move on its own account.

"Great!" Tanya gushed, her enthusiasm clearly bothering Edward as his face turned into a scowl. Edward's eyes never left Bella's face, and Bella just could stand to look at him, fearing that she might break into tears, or in this case, venom.

"Oh well, I'll just go and…" Tanya was clearly confused of Edward's aggressiveness towards her and she just gestured towards the rackets to help herself to find something suitable for her.

"If see anything you like you can just call me, I'll and help" Bella called after her as she disappeared in the sea of white silk and gowns. Bella then turned her back against Edward, knowing that he was still staring at her, burning her back. She started to walk away.

"Bella…" His velvet voice once again sounded. Bella felt her emotionless face contort in immense pain, her hand were shaking unsteady and her heart was once being clutched again. "Bella…" He called again, this time he advanced closer to Bella, grabbing her shaking hand.

She turned wildly at him. Her face horrified him, unable to hold herself, Bella's venom had already begun leaking and her face was stained with multiple trails of redness. Edward's expression turned tortured and was agonizing For Bella to watch.

With a strong swing, her hand broke free of Edward's.
