If we ever meet again.

February 15 2013

I tapped my fingers slightly on glass coffee table constantly checking the watch on my arm. I was getting frustrated. I hated to wait on someone, usually I would leave, but I couldn't this time. I gave a promise to my friend Rosalie to help her with her wedding dress. I'm Isabella Swan – owner of Bold and Beautiful – clothing Design Company, my mom started the company after leaving me and my dad. She left us very rudely, with no goodbyes, just some note that said "I just had to get out." Few years later my mom died in a car crush and apparently I became an owner. It was really tough at first, I was very young, only 19 and with a baby on my arms. Caroline is my biggest treasure in whole world. She's 3 years old now and very smart.

Suddenly I was pulled out of my thoughts by the sound of high heel marching over wooden floor. I got up as quick as possible and turned around to face my friend Rosalie Hale. She was really beautiful. I could see why Emmet was so found of her, not every man gets beauty like this to marry him. And not every couple make it out of highschool. Believe me. I know.

We all grew up together, we were this tight group of friends, me, Rosalie, Emmet, Jasper and Alice. Once Emmet started to get interested in girls, he instantly fell for Rosalie. No wonder tough, Rosalie was very beautiful, she was very leggy and with body of supermodel.

"Isabella I'm so sorry that I made you wait this long, I'm going crazy with this madness about the wedding." She gave me a warm apologetic smile as she flipped her long golden hair over her shoulder.

"Please, take a seat." I gave her a smile and sat back in white leather couch.

"Rose its okay. I know there is a lot for you to do and I can wait, besides I promised I'll help you with this. So do you have any ideas about how would you want your dress?" Rosalie was the most beautiful women I've ever seen, it will be my pleasure to design dress for her.

Rosalie's face lightens up as I mention the dress and she quickly gets up.

"I have some ideas, I'll show you them" She walked over to a big wooden desk and grabbed multiple pictures. I looked over them as soon as she dropped them in front of me.

"So these are the details you would love to have in your dress am I right?" She nodded and I flashed her a smile. I think I just got her a perfect wedding gift.

After few hours of straightening the details about the dress I said my goodbyes to her and went for my other meeting and then to another and another. That was how most of my days went – in meetings. Most of the time I feel very tired and out of energy or any kind of feeling, but this is what I do, this if what i have to long day of meetings I finally was on my way to home.

As soon as I stepped out of elevator my darling daughter was rushing to me.

"Mommy." I took her in my arms as I stood up.

"Caroline honey how was your day?" I asked and kissed her forehead.

"Fun. Daddy took me to the park." She smiled and gave me a kiss on cheek.

"He did?" She nodded and I put her down.

"Isabella, finally you are home. Dinner is ready." Jasper said as he approached us. Caroline quickly stuck her hand in the air saying to Jasper to take her in his arms. I smiled at them two.

"Hello Jasper." I put my coat down and walked over to dinner table after washing my hands. Jasper pulled chair out for me and I sat down.

"So, how went your date with bridedzilla?" He joked. Rosalie was Jasper sister. Twin sister. And they looked pretty much alike. Jasper had teh same piercing blue eyes, same nose, only his hair was dark blond and short.

"Actually it was really great, except the part when she made me wait for more than an hour." Jasper raised his eyebrows and poured me a glass of wine.

"Who in his right mind lets Isabella Swan wait this long?" He chuckled at his own words.

"Right? If ishe wouldnt be my best friend I wouldn't wait. Besides, I thought of perfect wedding gift for her. I'm considering to make Rosalie the face of B&B. What better wedding gift can a girl get?" I flashed smile to Jasper and he smiled back.

"So generous. I remember you were much selfish back in high school. Isabella Swan – the girl who has it all."

"Until she got her heart thorn apart in so many ways. I guess life just wanted to get back at me for everything that I've done as a stupid teenager I was. " I said taking sip if my wine. Jasper shook his head in disagreement.

"No. You were never stupid Isabella; In fact you were so smart for your own good. Always getting everything how you wanted." He set his fork and knife down and cleared his throat.

"Isabella, I have a favor to ask."

"Continue."

"My father is having dinner with his biggest investor and his family, so he asked if I would join, I'm asking you – will you be my date? Nothing could make bigger impression that having Isabella Swan as my date. Please say yes."

"Of course Jasper, you know I'd do anything for you."

I'm very thankful to Jasper. We have been friend since childhood. We used to hang out in small group of people. We were really close until something just happened and everyone needed to pick sides. Week after graduation I found out I was pregnant. Caroline's father didn't stood me up, we've been already broken up. I tried to get a reach of him but it was already too late – he was nowhere to be found. I was miserable and Jasper stood by my side till this day. He's the closest thing to a father than Caroline will ever get and I'm happy he's been in our lives and never had he left us alone.

I was very young when I fell in love with Caroline's real father – only 16. We were as strong as possible. I've never doubted he loved me the same, but something happened, something that tear us apart forever.

Flashback.

June 10. 2009

I turned my car's engine on and off for a multiple times before I finally got courage to get out of car. I walked as slowly as possible. I wasn't ready for this conversation. I already knew he would tell me he loves me and he's sorry, but I couldn't hear it, it just would break my heart all over again. But my feet kept carrying me closer to him. I sopped a little when I saw him standing beside one of the willow trees. I took a deep breath and walked over to him.

"I thought you won't come." He spoke with his voice husky.

"So did I. But then again – I loved you with all my heart, so I thought I need an explanation after all."

"I don't even know what to tell you or how to explain. I remember nothing about that night." He said looking pass me. I sat down at the bench because I thought I would pass out, I never thought that this would end up for us in a way like that.

"Bella I'm really sorry that I screwed up this bad. I really have no memory about that night or even a day. It's all a blur."

"What is going on with you Edward? Past few months you are acting weird. Like you not yourself anymore. You stay out late or sometimes don't even go home. You never answer my calls, lately you've been so unfocused and you walk around like a zombie. What's going on?"

"I can't explain you this Bella." He dropped his head in his hands. Small sob escaped his lips. "I'm just so sorry that I hurt you. I never meant for you to get hurt." Single tear rolled down his face and suddenly I felt sorry for him. Clearly there was this part of Edward that I wasn't familiar with and a part of his life that I never knew about. Something was very wrong and I didn't know what.

"I love you Bella. So very much it hurts. And now I've lost you in the way I thought I never will. I'm so fucking sorry I ruined us."

"I love you too Edward, but this is over. I can't forgive you."

"I'm not asking for forgiveness." He bent down on his knees in front of me, his body slightly shaking. "I just want you to know that I didn't want that to happen and I'm really sorry. And if we meet again, years later and you're ready to give me second chance I will do whatever it takes to make you happy." I felt tears in my eyes and I quickly stood up.

"No. Never. I'm never giving you the second chance. I just can't. You slept with my best friend Edward."
