I'm sort of afraid of creating this story, due to the unfortunate ending of my last one, but hopefully all will work out.

If your a fan of my previous stories, I wish that you back me up and prove to everyone that THIS STORY IS MINE. If you were a fan of "I'm not a princess, this ain't a fairytale" then please tell me so ^^ Now, with this being said I bring you the very first chapter of "Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath". (:

Setting: During New Moon! Officially, nothing has changed!

Plot: What if, Romeo never left? It was a big "what if" but..what if he never left Juliet? What if, somehow, she only thought he did? What if, he secretly stayed?

I do not in any way own Twilight. Sadly, I don't. Wouldn't it be so marvelous to own Edward & Jacob? Yummy.!

Chapter 1, Edward's point of view.

I ran. I admitted it, the pain of leaving my sweet..soft..warm...pain gripped my chest and hit me hard. I vaguely aware of her hard, staggering footsteps as she began to follow me, but I knew it'd only be seconds until everything blown from my movement stood still, and I would be farther away from my precious Bella than I ever wanted to be.

I was fighting sobs the whole way back to my house. My whole family was gone, but like that even mattered. My home was close by, and my stone heart ached at the thought of Bella- alone in the forest. I had to go back! But before I could turned around my subconcious told me otherwise. Edward, let her go. This is what you wanted. Do you /want/ to put her in pain again? it said to me. I swallowed, shaking my head and whispering aloud, "No." Quickly, I busted through the front door of my home, immediately running to my piano. I sat in front of it, taking each movement carefully and slowly. Resting my head on the keys, I sobbed. Was it manly to cry? Like I freaking cared. My hands moved swiftly across the keys, making disturbing sounds. Dam, I didn't even feel like playing. How could I?! Bella was gone. I made to her a promise I must keep. That we wouldn't bother her again.

I promise this will be the last time you'll see me. I won't come back. I had said. Wait. See me? Perfect! My head snapped up, my hands pressing down coldly onto the piano. It protested as I pressed the keys too hard. I would come back..I mean, I owed her that much right? She just didn't have to see me. If she did, she'd probably never let go. If she took me back, at least. I felt the sobs coming back as I thought about how hard it was telling her I didn't want her...how she wasn't good enough for me...

And the belief behind her tear-filled eyes.

I stood, and began pacing. I'd wait until Bella was asleep until I returned to her room. Easy, right? I could hold her..kiss her..until she woke, of course. I didn't know how much it would pain me to have to hide before she awoke, but at least I got to be with her right?

Wrong. This was wrong. I knew it was, but I couldn't admit it to myself. I hid her presents..everything I could force my blank mind to think of. It could be possible I missed something, I wouldn't be surprised. I could play her cd I made for her at night..I could hear her murmur in her sleep...Oh, the thought got better and better. I didn't smile, and I wouldn't...until I was safe with my Bella. Until she was here in my arms.

***

For once in a long time, night came slowly. I sat in the same position, in front of my piano, not really playing and not really thinking either. So when night fell, and the outside was dark- I emerged from my now true vampire-like house and made my way eagerly to Bella's. My heart would have been set over the edge if I were human. When I heard Charlie's thoughts, I knew I was near.

Oh god. This is...bad. I don't know what to do. He sighed, and I could just tell he was on the brim of tears. What- and then I caught it in his mind. Bella never came home. I felt myself choking- on what? No clue, but I was. Bella..I-I thought I left her near the house!? Without thinking, I threw myself past the trees, the way I came, and starting scenting her.

I also thought I would be able to scent her, even through the rain that fell. I heard people, calling out her name.. but it stopped sometime later, and I knew that if Bella saw me- all hope was lost. (A/N: Please remember, this is the part where Bella fell asleep out in the cold bracken and she JUST got awoken at this point.)

I couldn't let her see me. So, I was forced, unwillingly to stop searching for my beloved. The calling for her started again, and I fell to my knees, pounding my fists into the grass. I heard an animal run by, but I didn't look up. I stayed here, still as stone, and never moved. It was like..I was asleep. I wasn't really, but I was so numb that I tuned everything out. I was truly a dead man.

When the sun started to rise, I noticed. I got to my feet and flung myself towards Bella's house. My heart started up again, blood flowed through me (if that was possbile) and I sighed in relief as his thoughts flooded mine.

I stopped when I heard my name.

"I want to know if Edward left you alone out there in the middle of the woods," Charlie insisted.

"It was my fault. He left me right here on the trail, in sight of the house...but I tried to follow him." Bella said casually.

"Bella your-" but he was cut off as Bella covered her ears and demanded she was going to her room. She left without hesitation.

I thrust myself forward again, this time running slower and slower..and hesitated as I caught sight of her house. I could hear her shuffling around in her bedroom, but then I simply heard a loud thud. Panic flooded through me, and before I knew it I was by her side as she lay. Her eyes were closed, and I was so silent I could tell she was still conscious. Any second she could see me but...hm. Her heart slowed, her body shut down and she lost consciousness. She fainted. I hesitantly pulled her from the floor, kissing her forehead, and lay her on her bed- under the covers. I had to move her empty CD case out of the way first, but, nonetheless she was whole. For now. I moved the strand of hair from her face and hummed her lullaby.

"My soft, sweet Bella. I'm so sorry," I said, my voice cracking.
