Unexpectedly Chapter 15 Teaser II

I wanted to post the full chapter tonight but I am almost dead with exhaustion and because I live in the UK, there is a time difference and I can't stay awake that long to get the chapter back from the beta and edit it (trust me, I'm trying) so here is another sneak preview of what is to come.

Bella sighed after she had sent the message but in her view, there was nothing else she could do.
How could she leave her father after everything they had been through together? Obviously her heart and her mind belonged to Edward, but she couldn’t allow herself to be so egocentric. She knew that her father would have never left her in any clause, so she gave herself no sanction to do the same.

She cried that night into her pillow, almost hating her devotion to her father that allowed Edward’s lone departure. In a way, she felt selfish again, knowing that Edward had felt alone and that when they were together, she had helped to wipe that poignant emotion away. She felt melancholy as she remembered his pained look on the first day that she had met him when he had come into Crumbs, and then compared it to the look on his face after he had kissed her. She saw how contented she made him feel, and she knew that he made her feel exactly the same.

As she wept into her pillow, she regarded the bracelet that Edward had given her and she cried even harder. Why did everything with her have to be so distressing and complicated? For the first time since she had met Edward, she just wanted to be normal.

That night she dreamed of Edward Cullen. She dreamed of his touch and nothing else.

The full chapter will be posted when I wake up. Lots of love.
