Hate me.

Those two words were what I had been telling her all week. She always replied with, "How could I hate you?" There were many reasons why, I had left her in a forest by herself, I had broke her heart into a million peices, I had made her suffer for long months, of course I had told her this, but she replyed with a "It doesn't matter"each time, but I knew it did.

I had left her with that, that mutt! I told her terrible lies, and I regretted them so much I could barely live with what I had become. Before I was a monster, now...now I was something even worse not worthy of even Bella's sweet gaze. She would always say,"I'm just so glad I got you back, Edward."

"Why dont you just hate me?" I asked Monday morning as I picked her up for school.

She sighed dramaticaly, "Copying from Blue October, now aren't we?" she said teasingley.

"Bella..." I sighed.

She said it simply, "Because I love you, Edward."

Those three words changed my whole proscective.

She loved me?

She loved me, she really and truley loved me. I don't know how she could, but she did and if that was good enough for her, hell that was good enough for me.
