The nights were long, the days: endless. Bella was miserable. Edward had left her with no explanation. He just vanished! Alice told her that he needed some "alone time"

Bella lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling. She could no longer sleep. Sleep was impossible now that he wasn't there to hold her, and sing her lullaby. Every time the door opened, or a twig snapped, she would look. But he was never there. She feared she would never gaze into his topaz colored eyes. Never feel his cold touch. Never be dazzled again. When she was just about to fall asleep, she heard a noise. She jumped out of bed, and ran to the window. She opened it and stuck her head out. Nothing. A tear ran down her face.

"You would think I would have learned my lesson by now."

Bella whispered to herself as she slipped back under her covers.

"Now, I just have to sleep."

She closed her eyes, and dozed off.

Bella was standing in the middle of a meadow. There wee beautiful flowers all around. She sat down on the grass and looked up at the clouds, when she heard someone approaching. She looked around and she saw something brush through the bushes.

"Hello?"

she called to whatever was there. And just then, Edward emerged from the bushes.

"Edward!"

she screamed, rushing into his embrace.

"Oh Edward. I missed you so much."

'I missed you to Bella. I love you."

"I love you to. Forever."

"Yes. Forever."

Then, Edward whispered in her ear

"I won't leave you ever again"

Bella shivered, as his cool lips brushed against her ear as he pulled away. She held him tighter. It was wonderful. Then, the ground began to shake.

"Edward! What is happening?"

"I don't know!"

Then the ground beneath them started to crack! Edward slipped and fell through, but Bella held on to him.

"Edward! Edward please don't fall!"

"Isabella!"

She loved it when he said her name. A tear trickled down her face.

"I love you."

Edward whispered as he let go of her, falling into the blackness.

"No!"

Bella woke up then, sweat pouring down her pale skin. She started sobbing. She couldn't bear it any longer. Bella climbed out of the window, and started making her way toward the Cullen house.
