AN/ Okay, sorry it's short. I'm just not feeling the angst right now. 4/9/08

"Every love involves a heart . Every heart is different and no two hearts are ever the same. There are the different sizes, the different colors and more importantly, the different levels of warmth that radiate from within. There is a unique heart for every pair of lovers. Soulmates. Now, every heart is symmetrical. One side is always the same as the other. Equal. And there's also one more pivotal fact about hearts that no one must ever forget. Hearts are special and when it's two lovers stand unwaveringly on each side, hearts become...Indestructible."

The seeds of doubt sprout and spread

brambles and thorns scarring on their way

She screams she shouts but no one hears

all alone she was today

Harder, harder the breathings caught

the outlooks bleak intrusion

And all too soon the nightmares end

it was all just an illusion

But the apple gives knowledge

no taking back

to see is to never forget

an idea was planted deep that day

his light will make it spread

I woke up gasping for air, the tears that streamed endlessly down my face made me feel grimy. I couldn't stop shuddering, I felt the phantom pain filling me up again. I felt lonely, alone.

The nightmares began plaguing me again. Edward was leaving me. He was gone forever.

It took me a couple of seconds to realize I was already in the arms of my angel. Edward was rocking me back and forth in his strong arms comforting me with every word he spoke.

"Shhhh Bella, It's okay. It's okay," he chanted. "You were only having a nightmare."

My hands found his back and I clung to him, pushing myself up against him. I held on to him for dear life trying to convince myself that it was only a dream. It was all a dream.

"I'm sorry Edward," I bawled out almost incoherently. "I'm so sorry. Please don't leave me. I'm sorry." I couldn't stop apologizing. The dream had seemed so real. I had done something to make Edward leave me. There must have been some reason why.

Edward looked stricken. And much too late I realized I was awake. The panic left me and I began to think clearly.

His feelings always took priority. I couldn't stand seeing him pain. If he was still here with me, I'd hate to think what he heard me say in my sleep. I mean, it was a familiar nightmare, but I knew by the look on his face that my nightmare wasn't a private experience. He heard what was going on in my head unedited.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," I apologized again, but for a different reason.

"I'm not leaving," he said with a hint of sadness in his voice as I rested my chin on his shoulder.

He started stroking my hair to comfort me, but I wished there was something I could do to comfort him.

"You should never apologize to me, Bella. Never. I should be the one apologizing to you."

I shook my head and placed two fingers on his lips.

"Don't," I said. "It was just a nightmare. I don't want to dwell on the past.."

I leaned closer to him and kissed him. I felt his muscles relax into me and was delighted in knowing that there was something I could do to comfort Edward.

It was getting to the point where I was beginning to feel light headed, but I didn't let that stop me. Against my better judgment, instead of going up for the breath of air I need, I raised my body higher in order to get better leverage. I positioned my knees closer to him, but somehow got them tangled into my blankets. I was suddenly falling out of the bed, but more importantly, away from Edward.

Before my head reached contact with the floor, Edward had me in his arms. I was beginning to become numb to the rush people feel when falling. I rolled my eyes and he looked down at me amused.

"Maybe we should get you back to sleep."

He placed me back underneath my covers and flicked my nose with his index finger.

"I wasn't done with you yet," I pouted.

"There'll be much more time for that tomorrow," he winked.

I melted and decided to give in.

"Besides you'll need the energy. I think it would be nice if we went back to the house to see the family tomorrow."
