Prologue

"I love you Edward," she whispered, gripping my hand tightly.

"I love you too Bella." The smile on my face was huge

I heard Bella faintly choke back a sob as she gripped my hand tighter.

"Bella, love, are you alright?"

I heard her sniffle again, "Yes Edward. I'm just so happy for you. This is what you always wanted."

"What I've always wanted is to know what the beautiful and sexy love of my life really looks like."

"Edward…" she muttered like usual, only this time she sounded…sad?

I heard a throat clear from the doorway and assumed it must've been Charlie. He had said nothing to me this whole time I was in the hospital, which I thought was strange.

"Bells, we have to get going," he said roughly.

Bella didn't respond but I felt her small hands stroking my cheeks softly. I could feel the warmth of her body as she pressed herself forward and placed a kiss on my forehead and then my lips. I responded eagerly. Too soon she pulled back and placed a kiss under my ear before whispering,

"I love you Edward Anthony Masen Cullen…I will ALWAYS love you."

I was a little confused by why she was saying it like that, but I responded with my own truth, "I love you Isabella Marie Swan. I can't wait to see you."

"Good-bye Edward," she whispered from somewhere near the door.

"See you soon love." I heard the door close and I smiled to myself as I tried to fall asleep. In a few days time I would be seeing the love of my life. We might only be 19 years old, but Bella was the one for me. She was the first face I wanted to see when these bandages came off. My beautiful Bella.

I woke with a start, sweat on my brow. I kicked the covers off letting the cool air hit my shirtless body. It was weird to dream in complete darkness but to have the sound fully around you. That's how my life was up until 6 years ago when a surgery fixed my eyesight. I sighed as I ran my hand through my hair. I might as well still be living in complete darkness. The love of my life was gone. I never saw Isabella Swan…and never heard her sweet voice again after that day in the hospital.
