P.S. No, sadly I don't own Twilight...or New Moon

Chapter 1
Edward's POV

I was driving my silver Volvo while listening to some of my favorite Dean Martin songs. I was in a relaxed mood, just thinking about my Bella while I drove to her house. I was wondering if the blood was going to rush to her cheeks and show a crimson red when I saw her. I silently chuckled to myself knowing already what was to come.

As I turned off my music and parked my car across from Bella's house all my worries flooded back into my mind. I was so lost in my thoughts of Bella that my reason for coming had completely slipped my mind. I took a long, unnecessary breath as I stepped out of the car and planned out in my mind what I would be saying to her. I passed Charlie's cruiser on my way to the door, and checked the time to make sure it was not too late to drop by. Eight o'clock wasn't too late. After I reached the door, I stood there staring, but not really looking. I saw beyond the door and Alice's vision filled my mind.

I had to go home. I had to see Alice. I ran a little faster than human speed to my car. I couldn't believe how much of a coward I was. I should just go in there and do it fast. I shook my head to myself. I can't do that, not to my Bella. I opened my car door, stepped in, and by the time my foot reached the gas pedal, I was accelerating to 120mph.

As I approached the familiar house, I saw Alice standing in front of our front door. She looked so irritated, and a little impatient. Her little, pixie figure waited with her brow creased. She looked confused. I also noticed the sadness in her eyes. I parked the car and stepped out, sighing as I slowly walked towards the door. This seemed to annoy her even more. In a flash she was by my side, yelling in my mind non-stop. If it were possible I would have a headache from all that screaming.

I closed my eyes took another unnecessary breath and calmly said, "Alice!" she quit her bickering for a moment, only to repeat everything she had just said telepathically aloud.

"Edward how could you?" Alice lectured furiously.

"You love her don't you? She loves you! Do you really want my vision to come true? Do you really want to lose her? My vision was pretty clear and you weren't happy! If your going to tell me that you love her too much and that that is your only weakness then don't you-"

"Alice!" I repeated, irritated. I braced myself for an intense argument.

"You know I'd never bet against you."

"Then what are you doing here?" She shouted, anger and sadness radiating from her eyes.

"Well…I…Um…The thing is I'm not betting against you, but I just feel that I should make sure at least one more time and—"

"Edward", Alice softly said my name in my mind. She closed her eyes as the images flowed through her mind once more, and in mine for what seemed the hundredth time.

Only after the vision ended did I realize I was on my knees sobbing tearlessly.

Alice shook her head slowly and whispered something I didn't care to hear. Jasper was suddenly by my side, helping me into the house. As we walked past my piano and into the living room, I sank into a chair, feeling unnaturally calm. I smiled weakly at Jasper as I gathered my thoughts. I loved her and there was no doubt of that, but how was supposed to tell her this? I started thinking of the pros and cons of telling her, when I realized that the entire situation was ridiculous. I was wasting my time here, without Bella. Of course I loved her more than anything, more than words could ever describe. Love wasn't an appropriate enough term to convey how I felt for her. What I felt was stronger than love.

As I stood up I noticed that Jasper and Alice were gone. I looked at my cell phone and realized I got lost in my thoughts for a few hours. It was 10:37pm. I wondered if Bella was even awake. I thought I'd go check, just in case. I silently crept into her room saddened to find her absence. I panicked for a second, and then her beautiful scent caught me. I heard her humming the lullaby I had composed for her. I chuckled to myself.

As I got closer to her voice I also heard water running. I went back to her room, sat on the bed, and waited.

Soon I heard the water go off and her footsteps near. As she opened the door my eyes traveled up, widened, and blackened. Wet wavy chocolate brown hair, soaked with water, still dripping, and a strong strawberry smell. So sweet. My nostrils flared, taking it all in.

A towel covered her. Drops of water dripped down her body. Her brown eyes widened in shock. Then came the best part... the part I had been longing for earlier that day. Blood rushed to her cheeks quickly, changing her fair tones into red instantaneously. I got off the bed and moved towards her. She looked so tempting.
