Bliss. It was total bliss. I was laying in Edward's arms, just enjoying the cold radiating from him on the hot (well… for Forks) night. He was humming my lullaby and gently kissing my neck. I sighed. Tonight was perfect. I quickly drifted off to sleep and was off in my own little world. My dream reflected the bliss that I had felt. I was a vampire, and married to Edward. We were in our meadow and sparkling in the sun. We didn't say anything. We just kissed and laughed as if we had all the time in the world. It was perfect. To bad perfect things can't always last.

Clouds covered the sky as three dark figures entered out meadow. I could tell that one was female and the other two were male. One of the males stepped away from the others, into what little light was left in the little clearing. "Miss me?" he said in a voice that was chillingly familiar. James signaled to the other two figures. One ran behind me and grabbed me. I struggled, but I couldn't break free. "You might as well stop trying." James said, "Laurent's got a tight hold."

James started to circle Edward, and soon the third figure did as well. I could tell by the flaming red hair that it was Victoria. Laurent's grip on me tightened and I had no choice but to watch, screaming, as James and Victoria tore Edward apart then dropped a lit match to the pieces.

I awoke to Edward shaking me awake. "It's okay, love, it was just a dream." I only clung to him.

I heard a noise coming towards my room and before Edward even had time to move, Charlie burst in. "Bells, I heard screaming, are you-" he cut off when he saw Edward in my bed with me desperately clinging to him. "What the hell is going on in here!?" he demanded.

"Chief Swan," Edward said, getting up from the bed in attempt to look less scandalous, revealing the fact that he was fully clothed in the process. "Let me explain."

"No! You will get out of my house. Bella, go back to sleep because in the mourning you are going to start packing. You are going to go back to Jacksonville to live with Renee."

"Dad," I pleaded, "you can't."

"Yes, I can. You are only 16. Since you are a minor, I have every right to."

It was then that Edward spoke up. "Please, sir, don't send Bella away. She means everything to me. I can't imagine living without her."

"Well, I bet you regret sneaking into her room now, don't you!" Charlie yelled, still furious.

"I only regret getting caught." Edward mumbled, quiet enough that Charlie wasn't supposed to hear him. But he did.

"Bella, I've changed my mind," Charlie said softly and I felt a spark of hope. "Start packing now."

With that, he held the door open for Edward to leave, and once both men had exited, the door closed with a soft thud. I threw my self down on the bed and cried. What was I going to do? I don't know if I can live without Edward. With a sigh, I got up, out of bed, and began packing my belongings. When I was finished, I glanced at the clock. 1:00 am. I sighed and curled into my bed. I tossed and turned and eventually fell into a shallow sleep. It was hard for me to sleep without my rock cold vampire next to me. I awoke a few hours later to Charlie shaking me awake.

"Get dressed, its time to go, and some one is hear to talk to you before you leave."

"Okay dad." I got up and got dressed in the only outfit I had left out. It was a black shirt with short, tattered sleeves, and a black mini skirt with purple satin on the top, and sparkly purple tulle. I paired it with black ballet flats, and headed downstairs. I wasn't exactly prepared for what awaited me down there.



Edward was standing at the foot of the stairs, with a look on his face that revealed that his heart was slowly breaking. When he looked up at me, he stopped breathing. He swept me up in his arms, and crashed his lips to mine. He drew back when Charlie loudly cleared his throat from the other side of the room. He pushed past us and went up to grab my bags.

"Bella, I love you so much. I don't know what I'll do without you, love. I… I want you to have this." Edward shoved a gothic looking box into my arms and drew me into a kiss. This kiss was different from the others we had shared. It was needier, more passionate. All to soon it ended, and Edward had disappeared.

"Come on, Bells. Its time." Charlie said as he led the way out. He put my bags in the back seat of the cruiser and got in the front. I got in the passenger's seat, and 2 hours later we were at the airport. I was really leaving Forks. Tears started rolling down my eyes. I went through security and everything else, and the next thing I knew, I was sitting on the plane. The flight passed by in a blur, and I was off the plane and Renee was rushing twords me, with Phil following at a normal pace.

"Bella! Its so good to see you again! You must know that I am disappointed in you. Welcome home!" I tried to smile as she said this, but I was still crying. We went home, and dinner was filled with an awkward silence. When I was alone in my new room I looked at the box Edward had given to me. I took a deep breath and lifted the lid. I took out the first thing I saw, and it was a shiny LG chocolate cell phone. I rolled my eyes and put it beside me on the bed. The next thing I picked up was an over stuffed envelope. I opened it and found several hundred dollar bills. I put that on the bed next to me and did the same with the gold credit card that was in the box. The final thing I pulled out was a large flat box It looked like the kind of box that jewelry was stored in. There was a letter inside but I decided that I would read it after I saw what was in the box. What I saw surprised me. On a thin silver chain was a family crest. I put that on the bed and read the letter.

Dearest Bella,

I realize you may not exactly like the gifts I have given, but I have my reasons. I figured that, since you are a danger magnet in a new city, that you should have a little cash on you to get you out of sticky situations. The credit card goes directly to my bank account, and I want you to feel free to use it. I want you to keep the cell phone on you at all times so that you can always call for help. All of my families phone numbers are programmed in it, and because of the time change, I want you to get used to texting under the classroom desk… I already have. Last of all, I am sure you are wondering about the necklace. You don't have to do this, but it would mean a lot to me if you wore it. The crest on it is the crest of the Cullen family. It would mean a lot to all of us, not just me, if you would wear it.

I am sorry we had to part, love. I feel entirely responsible. If only I hadn't let my guard down and had been paying attention to what Charlie was doing, maybe you would still be in Forks, safe in my arms. I'm not going to call you; I'm waiting for you to call me first. I will love you with everything I have for the rest of my existence.

Yours Forever,

Edward

Author's note: so... the outfit Bella is wearing, is on my home page, as is her cell phone and necklace, oh! and the necklace is the Cullen crest from the movie. I just had to use it, it was so perfect.
