Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, New Moon, ect. Stephenie Meyer does.
A//N: Alright people. This is just a oneshot that could possibly be another chapter or something. I was totally bored all day, and there weren't many new fanfics posted for me to read today, and I updated a story last night or something, so I can't update it now because I don't have any new ideas, and I realized that I only have like one Twilight fanfic going, so yeah…

I was lying on the grass, watching the sun creep slowly down towards the horizon. The meadow Edward and I were in was slowly darkening, and the trees looked golden as the sun set.
Edward's skin glittered, changing from the white glitter the sun normally made, to the pinks and purples and oranges that the sunset brought on.
I shifted a bit away from him to get a full look at him, ignoring his questioning look. The sight made me stare, completely forgetting the time.
Edward smiled and watched me too.
We sat silent for a long time. I looked into his eyes, gold now, trying to figure out how he felt. All I saw was peace for the moment, and love.
When the sun finally went beyond the horizon, and the sky turned black, I let myself lay back down on the grass, and I watched the stars.
"What are you thinking about?" Edward asked soon, his soft voice barely disturbing the calm.
I raised myself up and moved so I was now lying next to him, before looking back up at the small points of light.
"I'm thinking about the stars."
"What about the stars?" he replied, putting a cold arm around me.
"Just look at them, so far away. They are there, even when it's light out. They see just about everything that goes on in the world. They've seen everything, been a part of everything. Those stars have watched everything, but they've remained unchanged."
We were quiet again, and I knew Edward was thinking about what I'd said.
"Don't you ever wish you could go up there? Nothing would touch you there. Just, I don't know, rise up and just be among the stars. Nothing would hurt you, or scare you. You wouldn't have to feel anything."
Edward tightened his arm, bringing me closer. I could feel his chin resting on the top of my head.
"Do you really believe that? That it would be worth it, to lose the good things, to go up and just be up there? What about the good things? Music, humor, friendship, companionship, love…"
I sighed and titled my head. "I don't know. I suppose not. I would never do anything that would take me away from you. But still, you wonder…"
We stared at the sky for some time, before Edward touched my shoulder and raised his head up.
I blinked and looked around, wondering what he'd meant.
Before us, was a large doe. The deer stood there, her head raised in the air, searching for danger. Evidently, she found none, and proceeded to start grazing.
I watched with shining eyes, content to watch the deer. It had no worries, no fears. It had no guilt, or shame. But then again, it also would never know love either.
After a time, I had to shift to keep my legs from going to sleep, and the wary animal froze for a minute, stock still, perfect, before bounding gracefully into the farther depths of the forest.
I let out a breath, and leaned against Edward again.
I could feel him grinning, so I smiled back.
The last thing I saw before falling asleep, was Edward's twinkling eyes looking down above me…
I held her in my arms, sleeping, beautiful.
I once again marveled at her, her unpredictability, the hidden thoughts in her head, and even just the look on her face as she slept; one of pure contentment and trust.
Her musings this night had disturbed me a bit.
I had not realized exactly what she was feeling. I suppose her emotions were complicated, as they always turned out to be.
But the fact that she had seen wonder in a perfectly ordinary sight, a deer just standing there, proved that Bella was different than the others.
Who else could lie with a vampire after dark? Then again, who else would trust a vampire, a wild, dangerous being? She had never shone fear of me, or the others for that matter, and that alone perplexed me. She seemed to trust me unconditionally, after everything that's happened to her, to us, which is something I would have never thought possible, had it not happened to me.
A human? Trust a vampire who wishes every second of the day for her blood and body? Ha, never.
But Bella was the exception. Bella is the exception to everything, from mind control to self-preservation.
My thoughts were stopped as a small sound escaped from Bella's perfect lips.
"Edward," she breathed," I love you."
And those simple words were enough to remind me why I love her, why we were here in the dark, alone in the woods, why I was happy to sit with her in my arms, for as long as I wanted.
