Never let me go

As I lay ther,trembling, with Bella in my arms,

my imaginary tears splattered over her cold,

still body.Why can vampires not cry?!

I thought angrily. I felt horrible.not just

because I wasn't crying,but because my

beautiful, kind,caring Bella was gone from

the world. and there was no way for me to join her.

Let me start the tale from the beginning. Six months

ago, Bella and I were going on one of our Friday night

dates.we had picked Chili's to eat at and we had just sat

down when she unloaded her news on me.i had noticed al

l night she wouldn't look at me.i was prepared for bad news,

but not this.

She took a deep shaky breath."Edward?"she looked up at

me."I have to tell you something.It's really hard to tell you

this,so please don't interrupt me.i can only say this once."

She had started to cry silently and I jumped out of my chair

to comfort her but she only turned away.i had no idea what to

say or do, so I just sat back down.

"Edward,"she tried agaun,"I have cancer and less than two

months to live!"it all came out in a rush, but I caught it all.or did I?

"What did you say Bella?I'm sorry,I'm afraid I misheard you,"I

sputtered.

"No,you didn't."

It's not true, It's not true, It's not true!She's lying IT IS NOT TRUE!i

thought.

"It isn't true,"I whispered.

She completely broke down now ,and everyone in the restaurant

turned to stare.i got up,glared at every last one of them until they

returned to their food, somehow knowing their life was about to

end,and then picked Bella up,threw money on the table,and ran us

to the privacy of my Volvo.Once their,I rocked her,stroked her hair

and gently kissed her lips until she calmed down a bit.as soon as she

stopped crying,I held her tight against me.

"Bella listen to me,"I said softly,"I will NEVER let ANYTHING

harm you in ANYway.that includes other vampires, yourself, or

any disease.If that means I have to turn you, then I will in a heartbeat."

She only shook her head.no.

"what do you mean no?!Bella I'm not asking permission!besides,

you've wanted to be a vampire for forever!"I said,enraged that she

would oppose to my saving her life.

"Carlisle is the one who told me I had it,he also told me you would

say that and that I should tell you no.He said with cancer, the venom

would,instead of making me stronger,would weaken me.he said I would

die before I fully transformed.Bitter irony.the thing I desired most,can now

kill me."

This could not be happening!

So?how is it?r&r baby! r&r!
