Okay, okay, I know I said I'd never write a Twilight fanfiction, but I did. I'm sorry if I didn't get the characters right, Mrs. Meyer.

Edward refused and Bella left . . . now she returns.

Prologue

"Edward!" I yelled exasperatedly. "I refuse to get any older."

"You will, if I have it my way," he said sadly.

"Why?" I cried. "Why don't you want to be with me forever!"

"I do Bella," he said, caressing my cheek with his cool hand. "You know I do, but I can't do that to you. I can't take your life away."

"Edward," I hissed, "you wouldn't be! It would just be beginning! Don't you understand! I love you!"

"I know you do, Bella," he smiled. "I love you too."

"I can't do this," I sighed and removed myself from the piano bench and walked to the door.

"Bella?" Edward asked behind me. I felt tears spring to my eyes. "Where are you going?"

"Home," I whispered, knowing very well he would hear me.

Home. I was going to go home.

"Good bye, Edward."
