A/N Yay New Story!!!! It just kinda popped into my head and I started writing. Unintended Edward bashing, I just thought that he got off two easily in New Moon. Tell me what you think!!!

He Has To Earn It

Bella Swan was indescribably mad. Here she was in her bedroom tearing up the photo's she had been wishing to find for the last year. The ones of her ex-boyfriend and vampire Edward Cullen.

"I cannot believe him!" Bella yelled angrily as she ripped the picture of Edwards face right down the middle. "How can he think that after everything we can just go back to normal?!?" She ripped the picture into four. "That complete and total jackass!" She threw the picture fragments onto the floor. Bella lied back on her bed and started thinking about the afternoon's events.

Flashback

Bella was cleaning her breakfast dishes when she heard a knock on the door. Thinking it was probably Jacob she yelled.

"Come on in Jake!" She yelled towards the door and then turned away. It was Saturday and she and Jake had planned to go to the beach with the rest of the pack. Bella smiled as she thought of the progress she had made lately. She no longer woke up screaming for Edward, or even thought about him really. Bella Swan finally had a normal life. Bella noticed that she hadn't heard the door open and slam like what usually happens when Jake come over.

"Jake! I said come in!" She yelled again.

"It's not Jacob." Bella heard the velvety voice she had finally forgotten say. She whipped around and there was her personal God. Edward Cullen stood in front of her, unchanged in the long months it's been since they've seen each other.

"Hello Bella love." Edward said, knocking Bella out of her thoughts.

"…Hello" Bella replied not being able to think of anything else to say. She could feel herself slowly blocking the world away. This couldn't be real it was her mind playing tricks on her.

"Are you alright Bella? You don't look well." Edward said. No, Bella thought, I'm not alright. I finally get over you and you decide to come back! Bella screamed in her head. But instead of voicing these thoughts she settled for something else.

"What are you doing here?" She asked him.

He looked bewildered, like his reason was obvious. "Bella love, I've come back to be with you. This time without has been my personal heel on earth. I need you back in my life. Will you please take me back?" He looked at her with those gorgeous golden eyes. Bella couldn't form a coherent thought. The months of nothingness and numbness were coming back to her. Finally she spoke:

"No."

"What? Bella love, just so you know this isn't a dream. This is real. I've come back to you. We can pick up where we left off. Like nothing ever happened. I love you Bella." Edward told with hope in his voice. But Bella wasn't listening. She was still thinking about all the hurt she had gone through. About how much better she is now, she has friends and actually enjoys spending time out of the house.

"No," She said again, "We can't pretend like nothing ever happen these past few months. I was destroyed Edward, I can't even remember anything from the first few months because I blocked out the world. Now that I finally fell like I can live again you come here and expect me to just run into your arms? That's not going to happen. You have to work for what you want; it doesn't just get given to you. You should leave. Good-bye Edward." Bella finished her little speech and turned to walk up the stair, but then in true Bella fashion, she tripped. Before her face hit the ground she felt familiar cold arms wrap around her and bring her up, but not releasing her.

"Bella, I know how you feel. I am sorry for every bit of hurt I've caused you. Please take me back. I know you still love me." Edward tried to convince her. Now Bella was getting angry. Why couldn't he just leave? And what right did he have to tell her how she feels? Bella took a calming breath.

"I won't deny that I could never anyone other then you, but you could never no the pain you caused me. I use to think I didn't deserve you, but now I think it might be the other way around. Now please just leave, Or I'll call Jacob Black. He and his pack of WEREWOLFS will come and rip you apart. I really don't want that to happen so leave. Please." Bella looked pleadingly into his eyes. He let go of her reluctantly and stepped back with an odd look on his face.

"A werewolf Bella? You always need to be protected. I'll leave. But I'm staying in Forks. I can't bare to stay away from you anymore. Good-bye." Edward attempted to lean in to kiss Bella but she moved away from him. He silently walked out the door. As soon as he was gone Bella slumped against the wall and let the tears come.

End Flashback

Bella had cancelled her plans that day. She called Jacob and told him she couldn't go out. He asked why but she refused to tell him. No one needed to know about her encounter with Edward that morning. She picked up another photograph, the one of her and Edward, and ripped that one in the middle between the two of them. She took the Edward half, ripped it again, and threw it with the other picture. Bella silently let her tears fall for what seemed the hundredth time that day.

"I hate him." She quietly said, even though she knew it was a lie the moment she said it. Even though he broke her heart, Bella still loved Edward with the pieces. She stared out her window and remembered when Edward use to climb into her bedroom at night after Charlie was asleep. Without really realizing what she was doing, Bella went to the window and opened it. She stared into the branches of the tree for a moment then turned away. Or at least was about to turn away. Just before Bella turned she saw something move in the tree.

"Good-night Edward." She said into the darkness.

"Good-night Love." Bella heard his reply and then saw his outline disappear out of the tree.

Before Bella fell asleep that night she wondered about what was yet to come. She was positive that Edward was here to stay, but where were the rest of the Cullen's? Had they come back with him? Bella's final thought that night was how she wouldn't mind seeing Alice again…
