Proof

I never thought that my choice would have such consequences. I certainly couldn't predict that things would turn out the way they have, so broken and wrong. I'm not Alice, after all. But how could I have done that to Bella, my angel, who has given me something that surely even Heaven cannot compare with? I stood there, cold and harsh, while her heart was breaking; worse, I had been the one to break it. I had consciously broken my promise not to hurt her, and my rationale that she'd be better off in the end was entirely wrong. She didn't get better; she got so much worse.

And even now that I'm back with her, I can tell the damage is irreparable. Even with her "epiphany", there are moments when I can see the fear possess her. When I leave to hunt, which I seldom do anymore, utter emptiness will once again show itself in her eyes. She tries to hide it from me, but I do not think she realizes how easily I have come to see through her mask. I know her thoughts, despite not being able to hear them. And now I almost wish I didn't. Yet, I do not believe I could give up my present knowledge, nor would I decline if ever given the opportunity to truly hear her thoughts.

I deserve to suffer when she cries, to feel regret and misery when she is afraid. I am responsible for the near-death of an angel, for the breaking of a heart that was entrusted to me by the person I cherish most. I betrayed my personal savior. For that, I surely deserve to burn in hell – if, of course, I have not already been sentenced there for my unnatural existence and horrible crimes resulting from it.

And yet, it seems I shall continue to avoid my end. Bella continues to love me, to live every day in need of me, and as long as this is true I shall not leave this world. I will, instead, prove her fears wrong.

Even if it takes forever.

AN: Yes, that does mean he's decided to change Bella. So, what did everyone think? Reviews and constructive criticism, please.

That's all folks!!
