A/N: Hello everyone. Thanks for clicking on my story and giving it a chance. This is my first fanfic, so I'm not sure how good it will be, haha. It's, of course, about Edward and Bella and Edward's decisions for him and Bella. There might be a few chapters written in Edward's point of view, but it's mainly in Bella's point of view.

I also tend to use a lot of dialogue, it's easier for me to imagine people talking.

The phrases written in bold italics are song lyrics that I feel are relevant to that part of the story. It's just something I add to make it a little more interesting. I'll have the song and the artist credited at the bottom, so you can go get the song if you want and listen to it while you read, haha.

I greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have.

I really hope you all enjoy it!

"It's not that easy Bella." Those words coming from Edward's mouth confused me. They confused me every time he said them.

"Edward, I want to be with you! If I was a vampire, we could really, truly be together! Why don't you understand?!"

"Bella! You're the one that doesn't understand!" Edward roared, "do you know how much pain you'll be in?! You don't know, Bella! Don't tell me that I don't understand when I've already been through it!" He turned away, his eyes completely dark.

"But...I love you..." I mumbled softly. He turned back around to look at me, his eyes lightened a bit, there were now only traces of dark flecks in his golden eyes.

"And I love you, Bella. That's exactly why I can't do that to you." His arms wrapped around me in a cold embrace and I pressed my head against his chest. Edward gently ran his fingers through my hair, "Bella, I love you. I love you more than anything. I would never forgive myself if I hurt you." I nodded slowly, as if I understood, but I still didn't. I didn't care about the pain. I wanted to be with Edward. I knew that if I started to pressure him again, he would just get angrier. This wasn't our first fight on the subject. I decided to let go of it – for now.

"'Cause I'm the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing."

"So, where are we going for dinner?"

"You mean, where are you going for dinner." Edward chuckled. I rolled my eyes. "It's a surprise." He smiled and I almost melted in his arms. "Speaking of going out to dinner, it's almost six, so you should run upstairs and get ready. Wear something classy."

Hm...classy. Must be a nice place then. I grinned and ran upstairs to pick through my closet. Panic instantly came over me. Damn! I don't have anything classy! Within minutes, half of my closet was strewn all over the floor and I was proudly holding up a baby blue summer dress. This is classy enough. I quickly got dressed and added a little bit of makeup, something I don't usually wear. I walked down the stairs, my head down and blushing. Would Edward like this dress?

"Wow..." Edward smiled softly, "you look absolutely gorgeous." I blushed tomato red. Then I realized that Edward had already changed into a suit. He must have run home and changed.

"You don't look too bad yourself." I smiled back at him. He took my hand and guided me out to his car. He had driven his occasion car, the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, just for today. He opened the front door for me and I stepped in, then he got into the driver's seat.

"And now, as part of the surprise, you're going to put this on." He grinned, holding up a blindfold.

"No way! I am not going to - " Before I could finish my sentence, he wrapped the blindfold around my eyes.

"Don't worry Bella, you're only going to be blindfolded for a while. We'll be there in no time."

"Edward, don't drive too fast -" I was cut off again by the car zooming out of the driveway and onto the street. I could hear us zooming past the other cars and before I knew it, we were on the highway. "Edward! Just exactly where are we going?!" I practically screamed.

"It's a surprise." He stated simply.

I was guessing that fifteen minutes had passed before the car stopped and Edward stepped out of the driver's seat. He opened up my door and slowly undid the blindfold.

Sorry about the first chapter being so short...and the cliffhanger. Haha. The second chapter will be longer, I promise.
