I watched him walk away. I could feel the tears that fell down my cheeks. And then he turned around. He could see the tears on my cheek. His expression changed. His face was no longer closed off and cold, instead it looked sad and helpless. Slowly, he began to walk towards me.

''I can't do it'' he whispered. ''I just can't leave you.''

He stroked my chin, then tilted my face up towards his and kissed me slowly, then the kiss deepened and only ended when I had to pull away to breathe.

''You lied'' I accused him. '' You said you didn't love me, and yet you can't leave me. So you must have lied.''

Suddenly I slapped him. ''You idiot! You were going to leave me. Do you have any idea how much I love you? Do you know what that would have done to me?''

Edwards stared at me, his expression incredulous. ''You hit me.'' He said, stating the obvious.

''No way!'' I cried sarcastically. Then I turned and walked back up the path. I was trying to hide the tears that were welling up. Edward really didn't know how much he had hurt me. How could he even consider leaving?

Before I could begin to attempt to control myself Edward was by my side, wiping my tears away. He pulled me close to him.

''I'm so sorry'' he whispered softly. ''I shouldn't have even considered it. But all I want is for you to be safe.''

''I feel safe with you'' I whispered. ''I am safe with you.

''For now…''

'' Forever'' I argued.

Then he smiled my favourite crooked smile and everything was okay again. And it would stay that way. Forever.

I blinked and then turned to smile at everyone. ''It's a good thing we didn't bother unpacking, because we're going home!''

Everyone cheered except for Rosalie, who just looked annoyed. ''All this over some stupid human'' she grumbled. But everyone ignored her.

''Yes!'' exclaimed Emmet. ''I was going to miss Bella.''

I wound my arms around Jasper. ''See, I told you it would all work out.''

''You would know'' he smiled, looking happier than he had since Bella's party.

So everything's okay for now. I wondered how long that was going to last…

I'd recently turned sixteen and I'd had gotten my licence. There was just one problem; I had nowhere left to drive to.

That was when I remembered that Bella Swan had told me to come see her once I had my licence. She'd even said that we could hang out. I hoped that me going to her prom and saying that stuff wouldn't change her mind about that. But she hadn't seemed too upset so I decided to go see her.

''Dad. I'm gonna go see Bella, 'kay?''

''That's a great idea Jake, but if her boyfriends there come straight home, all right? I don't want you anywhere near the Cullens. They're dangerous.''

''Whatever'' I muttered.

To be honest I didn't really want to hang out with her boyfriend anyway. He was giving me death glares last time I saw him, at the prom.

The smell of her blood was taunting me. I wanted it. But I wanted and needed her. I could never hurt her. Still, it was hard to deny the fact that I was thirsty. And of course, as observant as ever, Bella soon realised that I needed to hunt.

''Go'' she encouraged me. ''I'll be fine.'' She smiled unconvincingly.

''I'll be back soon'' I promised.

I kissed her softly and she smiled. My angel…
