This story will be updated ever Friday, Saturday or Sunday. I don't have my computer on weekdays so I apologize for that :( I couldn't quite get to continue my last story, but I have a better feeling about this one, and I have a lot of ideas for it to grow :) I hope you enjoy it and I will enjoy writing it! Thank you so much.

Prologue

Bella sat in the backseat of Edward's car, snuggled up against his side and resting her head against his shoulder. She smiled and gazed up at him, then looked out in front of her at the night sky, shining with millions of stars. "I never knew how romantic a backseat could be," she said softly.

Edward pulled her closer against him, tracing the strap of her dress, and then tenderly kissed her shoulder. "Bella, I love you." His face was serious, looking down at her.

Bella stared back at him, and then bit her lip, blushing. She put her arms around his neck and held him tightly. "Love you, Edward Cullen," she whispered into his neck. She did believe him, but she wasn't quite ready to say I love you yet. It was just love you. One day she would shout it out the windows of her home, string a banner across the school hallway confessing her love.

It took a few minutes later to straighten themselves and climb back to the front seat. Edward smiled and helped her over the seat, helping her fasten in. He started the car, urging it over the ruts and stones and onto the narrow road, putting his headlights back on. The winding road slipped into a tunnel of maple trees and pines. Bella gazed out the window, watching the tree's flash by in a blur. They were heading to a late night movie that Edward had planned at the last minute. The car sped along and took a curve sharply.

"You don't have to hurry," Bella said, glancing over at Edward.

Edward glanced over at her and smiled a bit. "That's funny," he murmured. "Something's not right…" He glanced down at his feet. "This doesn't feel right…"

"Slow down, please! It doesn't matter if we miss the previews." Bella gazed ahead, fear in her eyes.

Something darted out in the middle of the road, through the bushes. Bella hadn't seen what it was, just a flicker of motion among the deep shadows. The deer stopped and froze, watching the car inch closer, its eyes drawn to the car's headlights.

"Edward!"

"Bella, something's-"

"Deer!" she exclaimed, clasping a hand over her mouth

The animal's eyes blazed. Then light came from behind, a bright burst around its dark form. A car was coming from the opposite direction. Tree's walled them in, and there was no room to veer left or right.

"Stop!" Bella exclaimed.

"I'm-"

"Why don't you please stop!" she pleaded. "Edward STOP!"

The windshield exploded into a thousand particles of glass. For days after, all Bella could remember was the waterfall of glass raining upon them.
