Authors note: the plot of this story is incredibly cliché I know. But no lie I dreamed of this exact story the night after I read Breaking Dawn. A lot of people have done this story with different twists but this is my version, it's also the first fanfic I started working on. REVIEW PLEASE! I literally start dancing when I see reviews.

Chapter 1: That Wonderful Night

Bella POV

Everything in my life was perfect. Well that was what I thought. My grades were good and I had friends at school. Oh, and did I forget to mention that Edward, my perfect Adonis god, and I were in love. Our relationship went much further than most little high school hook-ups, really I wanted him forever. That part is made very convenient by the fact that he is a vampire.

If only he wasn't so stubborn about changing me. And by my personal request, I wanted Edward to be that one to change me. To him, it was way too dangerous; he said that he would probably end up killing me. To Edward, my blood was sweeter and more tempting to him than anything in the world, his own personal brand of heroin. He burned every day just to be with me. Me, I lived in rainiest place in the US and on some occasions had my life put at risk. But to both of us, it was more than worth it.

Edward's shoulders were tense beneath his rain coat as we walked to class and sat down beside each other. His face was cold, and his eyes vacantly stared at the desk in front of him. He had been wallowing for over a week now. Still upset that he had hurt me. To me, the all-body bruises and few cracked ribs were a completely acceptable exchange for what I had gotten in return. While teacher was droning on, I closed my eyes and let my mind wander back to that wonderful night.

I was resting on my bed reading when I looked up and saw him climbing gracefully through the window. I felt my mouth go into an automatic smile and watched his do the same. Edward's beauty always stunned me. It was even more so now since he had been gone for a several day hunting trip. He ran over at a speed that was faster than human facility and pressed his lips gently against mine. My heart beat went erratic at his touch and I felt him smile into our kiss.

"I missed you" he said as he moved down to my neck.

My reply was just a contented sigh and to wrap my arms around his body. He slid one arm around my shoulders and placed the other against the side of head, tangling his long fingers in my hair. I heard him breathe deeply then pullback to look at me.

"Where's Charlie?"

"He got called out to Seattle to help train some new police men; going over traffic laws and basic things. He won't be back until late tomorrow."

His eye's got a playful gleam in them. "Well then we don't have to be as quiet. "

"Edward Cullen, don't you da-" I didn't even get the words out before he was tickling me. My laughter filled the room. I saw the corners of his perfect mouth lift into smile. "Please," I managed to gasp out, "Edward stop it." I tried to sound firm but it was hard when he was the reason my pulse was going double time and my heart was filled happiness.

He complied anyways. I had just started to realize that our position had changed from sitting on the edge of my bed to me lying down with him leaning over, straddling me, a position that wouldn't have looked very innocent if someone were to walk in on us.

His expression changed as he seemed to realize our proximity. His eyebrows pulled together and he stared at me intently. It looked like he was battling between something in his mind. Within a second his eyes turned warm and he leaned down to kiss me.

I gasped in surprise. Never had we gone even a little pass his distinct self control boundary. When ever he felt that he was losing control of his desire for me, he'd pull away. It seemed that we had run far past that line. His entire stone body was pressed gently against mine. I was able to feel the chill of his skin through our clothes.

I wasn't going to complain. He didn't even try to stop me when I put my arms around him and pulled him closer, deepening our kiss. In fact he did just the opposite. Sliding his had under me and pushed my chest up closer to his. We kissed each other with such a passion that I felt like all of my nerves would combust. He seemed to realize my need for air and went down to kiss beneath my jaw line.

His hand rubbed in circles, massaging my back. It drifted down to the hem of my shirt and hesitated. His glass lips stilled, then moved back to my mouth as his hand plunged under my shirt, gliding his fingers over my ribs, slowly going to bring it up over my head.

His sudden action made me freeze. I felt my eyes go wide with shock. Everything that was happening seemed to be pointing to one thing. It wasn't that I didn't want him. No, I wanted him, all of him, more than anything else. But what about everything he had been supporting all the time that I had known him. All of his carefully set rules and boundaries. What happened to them?

"Edward," I whispered, "we… I mean… did you, um, reconsider your…" my voice drifted off but he knew exactly what I was talking about. He sat up and rested his hands against my sides.

"Bella I love you." His eyes were intense but still loving. His velvet voice confirmed every word that he spoke. "You are the most important thing to me ever. You're my world. And Bella I want you. Right now. Your body is tempting me much more than your blood. Tonight I'm letting go, letting go of trying so hard to resist you. But Bella please, you have to promise me that if anything, anything at all, happens and I hurt you tell me. I just want to try."

I was absolutely speechless. No words I could say would show what I was feeling. So instead I grabbed his shirt collar, and pulled him down to kiss him firmly on the lips.

"I love you Edward" was the last thing I said, before letting the night run its course.

"Bella, Bella?" I was snapped out of my trance when Edward was calling me in the dead, emotionless voice that he so recently acquired. I gave a quick glance around the room and saw that everyone had already left. So I quickly got my things together and went to where he was holding the door for me.

------------------------------

The ride back to my house was silent and awkward. Edward wordlessly got into the front seat of his Volvo, waited until I was belted in and sped out of the parking lot. I cast a glace at him to see if his stiff posture had relaxed at all. It hadn't. His fists tightened on the steering wheel with what ever thought had just come into his mind, and though he tried to mask it, I could see a trace of agony in his expression. If he needed the time to mope and get over what had happened, then I would give him his space. But my limit was being tested. Three more days, that's all he had until I'd confront him. And thought I'd never tell him, his cold behavior was tearing at my heart.

We had arrived back at my house. He, being the gentleman that he was, sped around the car to my door at vampire speed to open it for me. I stepped out of the car. But being me I wasn't able to do something as simple as that without injuring my self. My foot caught on the base of the car frame and was going to land flat on my face. Edward cold hands shot out and gripped my sides as caught me and set me upright.

The moment I was balanced his hands went back to his sides and he looked at me with a worried expression. Probably thinking he had gripped my too hard or put pressure on one of fading bruises I had. I gave him a small smile that thanked him and reassured him that I was fine. He didn't look totally convinced but let it go.

"I'd better be going Bella."

I'd have been surprised if this hadn't been the routine for the last four days.

"Will you be coming back tonight?" He hadn't snuck in through my window since the night Charlie was gone. The dark circles under my eyes showed the lack of sleep I'd been getting. My bed just wasn't the same without Edward in it to hold me in his arms and hum me to sleep. It was too warm.

He just shook his head.

"Well then I'll see you tomorrow at school." I replied trying not to let the hurt seep into my voice.

Edward nodded. I surprised him by taking a step forward and wrapping my arms tightly around his midsection. His eyes widened and he stood straighter for a small moment. The he gingerly placed his arms around my waist, handling me so gently as if he thought the wind could blow me away.

Just as some of tension started to leave him he pulled away from our embrace.

"I love you Edward."

He gave me a look that was so similar to the expression he held in the car, like he was trying to smother a painful thought.

"Bella." He simply said along with a curt nod. Then he drove away at a much higher speed then legal.
