The sun slowly drifted above the horizon as I drove to school in my red truck. I hadn't been able to sleep much last night, and I decided to go to school early, hopeful about the day.

Edward had been gone since September, and it hurt to think about the day he left. When he brought me into the forest, and told me we could no longer be together.

I turned into the school parking lot, and looked around to see only two cars parked in the staff parking lot.

I grabbed my bag as I jumped out of my truck. Today was the last day before Spring Break. I hated the fact that I wouldn't have school work to keep my mind off of Edward.

I looked at my truck for a long moment remembering that my dad: Charlie had gotten it from his friend Billy. Billy's son Jacob was nice to me, but I really didn't like him. But he was the one who had given me the tip on Edward being a vampire, and it turned out to be true. I really didn't believe in all that stuff before Edward had come along but now all of it was a part of me.

I shuddered as I looked down at my wrist which had the scar from when James bit me last summer. Everyone had noticed had peculiar shaped it was, in a crescent shape, of course James's teeth marks. At least he was gone for hopefully forever.

I made my way to one of the picnic benches and began to work on a project that was due after Spring Break.

I glanced at the forest that was right beside the school noticing some movement in one of the trees. My eyes focused on something pale. Finally I came to a conclusion that someone was in the tree. I kept my eyes focused on the figure, and slowly made my way closer, until I found myself staring into a light topaz color of eyes; vampire eyes.

For a moment I thought I was crazy and imagining this, but then the pale figure leaped out of the tree, and landed right in front of me.

"Hello Bella." A soft velvet voice said smoothly.

"Edward!" I gasped, and reached up to see if I really wasn't dreaming.

My fingers found his cold smooth stone-like face, and I felt sobs coming out of my system, and I buried my face in his chest until all of my tears were gone.

"Edward." I repeated, and looked up to meet his gaze.

"Bella" he said again "I am so sorry that I have come back. I know you must have moved on, but I could not stay away from you forever, and soon I would have gone mad for letting you go anyway. I am sure you must be perfectly happy without me now, but I have come back to ask for a second chance again. That is all I ask, and if you say 'no' then I will respect your decision, and leave, and never bother you again."

It was one of the longest speeches I have ever heard Edward make, and I really felt sorry for him. His expression was pained, and of course like always it was because he hated seeing me cry.

"Edward of course you get a second chance, you can have as many chances as you need." I replied smiling up at him.

And then I laughed; "did you not like it in L.A." I said sarcastically.

"No, you weren't there" Edward said even though he hadn't been in L.A.

I heard a car drive into the parking lot and I turned to see Edward's shiny Volvo drive up to us and the driver's window roll down and Alice's head popped out.

"Edward" she said in her musical voice "I think we should register for the end of the school year now; don't you think? She asked teasingly.

"Of course Alice." Edward replied. Alice parked the car in its usual spot, and she jumped out. Jasper stepped out from the passenger seat, and Rosalie, and Emmett from the back.

I followed them into the building stopping for a moment to pick up my books. I waited for a moment as the five stepped into the small office and spoke to Mrs. Cope. Of course when Edward started talking she immediately said, "Yes; yes of course no problem there." Edward smiled when he stepped out of the office, and we sat outside and slowly people started to arrive.

"I think I should start my classes after spring break." He quickly smiled his wonderful crooked smile, and disappeared.

All through my classes I searched for Edward but I could never find him. I knew he sometimes would watch me. Finally at the end of the day I found him waiting by my car. I didn't object when Edward held the passenger door open for me. I climbed in and before I had my seatbelt on he was sitting beside me, pulling my seatbelt on.

We drove in silence, and when Edward cut the engine off in front of my house I asked him "Why did you come back?"

Edward sighed, and then appeared at my door holding it open for me. I undid my seatbelt, and handed my bag to him. "Why did you come back?" I repeated as Edward lifted me out of my car.

"Because" Edward said "I missed you, and couldn't stand being away from you." I studied his face and found nothing "really?" I asked him not positive that he really was telling the truth.

"You really think I would lie to you?" Edward asked and I could see the pain in his eyes.

"No! Edward I didn't mean it like that! I cried out
