Chapter 2: My Final Chance

Edward POV

Today I was given the opportunity to have a whole day with Bella without distractions. And with Charlie at work, I knew we wouldn't be interrupted. She must be so tired, I thought as I stared at the angel sleeping peacefully beside me.

Tomorrow would be the day. The day I could finally call her, my own and the day I would kill her. I cringed at the thought but I wouldn't go against my word. However many times I thought I could dazzle her into staying human, I knew that it wasn't right. After all this is what she wanted and I was willing to oblige to her every whim.

I wish I could be a human again or go back in time with Bella. I wish it with all my heart. I would do anything for Bella not to be a vampire; anything to see her live a normal life. With all my being I wished for this one thing. The one thing I knew was not going to be granted.

I felt a vibrating in my pocket, I quickly answered it, knowing already it was Alice. "What did you see?"

"There's going to be a meteor shower tonight. Take her to the meadow and set up dinner there. It will be perfect," Alice said with so much excitement, I could already tell that she was bouncing in place.

"All right. All right, but do you mind setting up the meadow for me? I want it to look spectacular. Also could you bring me clothes and possibly some for Bella?"

"Yeah of course," Alice said already hanging up the phone. I waited for Alice to climb through the window by staring at Bella lovingly and picturing what we would do once we could live an eternity with her.

Before I knew it, Alice had jumped graciously through the window with clothes in hand. She handed them to me as I nodded my head in gratitude before she sprang back out the window. "Thank you Alice," I whispered, knowing full well that she would be able to hear me.

I got up, deciding to take a quick shower. I had hid my clothes in Bella's floor boards a countless amount of times and had taken a shower and gotten changed when Bella was sleeping; although I will never tell Bella that.

The thing was, I was afraid of leaving her, afraid of what might happen to her while I was gone. If I did have to hunt though, I would either send her to my house or have one of my family members watch over her. Bella would be angry if she found out I had taken the trouble to watch over her this much. I couldn't help it though; I loved her too much.

I let Bella sleep and instead got ready and started breakfast downstairs. I had practiced many times to prepare a meal that I knew would be edible to Bella. Many times I had tried under Esme's watchful eye and by the third time she had smiled at me with pride. I had finally succeeded.

Now I was able to make a couple dinners, some lunches if they were sandwiches of course, and eggs and toast for breakfast. I would have to learn some more from Esme later but right now I didn't have the time. It was always unpredictable when Bella decided to get up.

I had finished Bella's breakfast, scrunching my nose the whole time. You would never believe how bad eggs smelled, especially when they were cooked. I shivered until I smelt it.

He was here. The last I heard of him, he was in the woods, never returning to his human form. I growled, knowing that he would be able to hear full well. I ran up to Bella's room immediately, knowing he had come her for Bella.

Jake was still in his wolf form when he crashed into her bedroom window. Bella jolted awake as the window shattered and I was in front of her already, crouching down. "Jake," I greeted, none too happily either.

Leech, Jake said, I won't let you change her. I would rather she die than be a vampire.

That set me off the edge as my growl became more pronounced. "You will do no such thing," I stated flatly.

Watch me, stated Jake as he lunged for Bella. I quickly blocked him and shoved him out her now broken window. Growls ripped through my chest as I started to rip him apart.

"Edward!" Bella called. I stopped everything I was doing to look at Bella. "Please don't hurt him."

I obliged utterly and completely and as I dragged my eyes away from Bella, I saw Jake lunge for me and I was too late to dodge it. I was on the ground, trying to pull the stupid dog off of me. I heard the howls from the rest of the pack and Jake immediately paused to listen.

Now was my chance. I shoved him off me and waited in a ready stance just in case he attacked again. I'm sorry. Please tell that to Bella, said Jake before he took off in the woods.

I watched Jake go before I went to Bella. It was a good thing that nobody checked to see what was happening, I thought as I touched Bella's cheek concerned. "Are you all right?" I asked.

"Of course. I'm fine. Thanks for not hurting him," said Bella, looking down guiltily.

I lifted Bella's chin and made her look me in the eyes before saying, "It's all right. I understand. Now can we get you some breakfast? What's left of the morning anyway."

Bella agreed immediately, walking down the stairs surprisingly without tripping. Bella finished her breakfast quickly and I made her get dressed before she cuddled in my arms some more.

It was hours before I told Bella that I had a surprise for her. She groaned and I forced her into my car and drove off. I had already blindfolded Bella so she wouldn't cheat. I ran Bella the rest of the way and finally when I put her down, I took off the blindfold.

Bella gasped at what she saw. Alice had done a very nice job. There were lights in the trees and I noticed they were set on a timer exactly when the meteor shower would start. There was the dinner laid out on a sheet with blankets just in case Bella got cold. I would have to thank Alice later.

Bella immediately sat down on the mat and sighed. It seemed she liked this surprise as any other normal human should. I was happy to say that she was finally giving into all my pampering.

The lights quickly turned off just as Bella was about to finish her meal. I stared up in the sky and Bella curious to see what I was seeing, did the same. Bella gasped as she saw the meteors falling from the sky.

I wished with all my heart in that moment that Bella had met me when I was actually human; that we could get married and live a complete life. "What do you wish?" I whispered in her ear.

"That we could be together no matter what happens," Bella whispered instantly. My face immediately scrunched up in misery. She was always thinking of me. Bella thought that I could go to heaven despite that I didn't have a soul. I just couldn't believe such an atrocity. It was impossible with all the people I've killed to go to heaven. And soon I would have to kill Bella; an angel on earth.

The rest of the night was spent looking at the meteors fall to the earth. It was beautiful but not so much as my Bella. At one point, Bella fell asleep on my shoulder. I picked her up and ran her home.

For some reason I was actually tired. I can't I feel, I thought as I laid down with Bella and held her in my arms. Despite my icy skin, Bella moved unconsciously toward me. I closed my eyes and for the first time in more than a hundred years, I fell asleep.
