Edward and I were meant for each other. I knew that from the very first moment. I was working at a book store in downtown Seattle when we first met. I heard the chime on the door ring and I looked up to see Edward walk into my life. Tall with bronze hair and striking emerald eyes. He gave me a croaked smile that made his eyes sparkle, payed for his book, asked me what my name was, said goodbye and left. He repeated this every afternoon, and every afternoon he would ask me a different question. What was my favourite book, author, song, colour, food? This continued for two weeks before he asked me to go to dinner with him. He later told me that he waited so long to ask me out because he was nervous and feared that I would say no. When I asked how he could think that, he simply replied,

"Someone as beautiful you would have to already have someone special in their life. I just didn't want to hear you confirm my worst fear."

I of coursed laughed at him and how could I not, he was perfect. Everywhere we go women see him and flirt with him. Sure I have had my doubts over the years, no that he could be unfaithful to me because I know that will never happen. No, I worry that I am not good enough for him. I am plain old Bella Swan from Forks and he is literally an angel on Earth, but he has always managed to erase those doubts from my mind. He can always erase my fears. Well nearly always.

Our first kiss was a week later and I swear I saw fireworks when his lips touched mine. We dated for a year before he finally asked my to marry him. We were married six months later in the pouring rain with only our closest friends and family watching on.

Edwards sister Alice had been my Maid of Honour and Rosalie, my sister in law was my bridesmaid. Edward had his best friends Jasper, Alice's partner and Emmett, my big brother and Rosalie's husband as his best men. Edwards parents Esme and Carlisle and my father Charlie were also present. That day had been the greatest moment of my twenty year old life.

We were celebrating our two year anniversary when the phone call came with the news I had been dreading. Edward was told the date of which he would be deployed. Three weeks from today and I was powerless to stop my husband from going across the world into a war zone.

This was my greatest fear. How was he going to stop my heart from breaking at the thought of him not coming home? Not coming back to me? He couldn't and that was what scared me the most.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Okay so.... prologue. What do you guys think. I am really excited about this story and I can't wait to get all my ideas down. I will try to post something every few days, at least while I am on holidays. I know how bad it is to keep waiting for a new chapter. Also this story doesn't have a beta so please excuse any spelling mistakes and things like that. If need be I can always fix them if they are really bad.
