Summary: What would you do if the man of your dreams couldn't seem to pull himself together?

Bella wants to be the girl of Edward's dreams, but he isn't making it easy for her. She can only take so much before she just doesn't want to try any more.

Would you walk away from the situation if you could, or would you choose to keep on fighting?

Edward's POV

It hurts. Every time I think about it, the pain finds away to manifest in my legs and it burns. The problem is, I can't feel my legs. It's been over a year, maybe two now, since I last had a way to use them. I still can't believe how something as simple as walking was quickly taken away from me. They say it's not permanent, but I feel like it might as well be. If the swelling in my spine hasn't gone down in this many years, I might as well realize what this really means. I could possibly never walk again. I've pretty much come to this conclusion and see it for what it is, but it still hurts.

Bella's POV

It really hurts. You try to be there for someone and all they do is push you away. I understand that I may never really understand what it's like to be in your shoes, but I do know that I love you. You keep pushing, but I push back. That only causes you to push even harder and I try to push back just as hard, but it's getting harder and harder to fight. Not just to fight for you, but to fight you as well. I'm not sure what to do any more. People with lesser spirits would've given up by now, like you did, but I don't want to. The problem is, if you continue to push as hard as you are, I may not have a choice. Then where would we be? Both of us would hurt.
