Wow! I got so much positive feedback on the first chapter! Thank you so much! Here's chapter 2 for you guys! Please review! =D

This is still Edward's POV.

I sat in my room all morning, thinking about what I could do. If I wasn't human, how could I ever continue my relationship with Bella? How on Earth would it work?

My cell phone buzzed on the floor and I picked it up, flipping it open.

"Just got up. You coming over soon? Love you. Bella." it read.

I didn't bother texting back. I'd be there in less than 5 minutes. I jumped out my window and started running, loving the feeling of freedom. I had to say.. if I ever became human, I sure would miss the inhuman speed that came with being a vampire.

I arrived at Bella's house, climbing up the side and entering her open window. She wasn't in here... I listened for a moment and I heard her humming to herself as she brushed her hair in the bathroom. I smiled to myself and sat in the rocking chair to wait.

I found myself pressing my hands together again, hoping for some slim chance that God was listening... "Please God... make me a human for this girl. I love her more than anything else in my world." I murmured.

I heard the bathroom door open and I quickly pulled my hands apart, opening my eyes. Bella entered the room, wearing that beautiful blue blouse that I adored, along with a pair of jeans. Her hair was down, flowing around her shoulders nicely. She smiled when she saw me.

"Hey." she said, walking over.

I opened my arms wide and she jumped into them, burying her face in my neck.

"Hello, my Bella." I whispered in her ear." How are you this morning?"

She pulled away. "Pretty good. I'm a bit tired though. I woke up a 6:00 this morning and I couldn't fall asleep again."

I frowned. "Would you like to sleep now?" I asked.

She shook her head. "No, that's ok. It was probably just because you weren't there. I'm not as tired as I was."

Because I wasn't there. The words rang through my head. Bella needed me. But I couldn't be there for her all the time... because I wasn't a human.

Her lips were moving on mine for a few seconds, as I tangled my fingers through her soft hair, holding my breath. Her lips were so warm and soft... and mine were cold and hard. How did she even like kissing me?

I pulled away and pressed my forehead against hers.

"So... what are we doing today?" I asked her, kissing the tip of her nose and smiling slightly.

She shrugged. "That project for Mr. Banner is due Monday. I'm almost done but I have to edit the written part."

We were on the other side of the room in less than a second, right in front of the computer. Bella giggled in my arms and kissed my shoulder lightly.

"How about I edit it for you... and you go get some breakfast." I said, flicking on her ancient computer.

She bit her lip and I raised my eyebrows.

"Bella, it will be finished in 5 minutes if I do it." I reassured her. "And I really don't mind."

She sighed and nodded. "Ok. I'll be back up in a few minutes." she said, placing a kiss on my cheek and walking out of the room..

"Miss you." I called out reflexively, turning to the computer.

"Miss you more!" she said back.

I chuckled and waited for the computer to turn on. Once it was, I went to her documents and was about to click "Biology Project" when something else caught my eye. "Edward".

I looked towards the door. Would she mind me looking? Of course she would. But would that stop me? It should.

But it didn't.

I clicked the "Edward" folder and it opened. There wasn't many things there... a few song quotes and some poems describing our love. I smiled when I saw the definition of "vampire" typed at the bottom of one page.

I scrolled down and stopped at the 2nd page, my eyes widening a bit. She'd written an acrostic poem about me...

E is for Everything he means to me

D is for the Dreams about him that fill my head every night

W is for the Wonder I feel when I touch his beautiful, cool skin

A is for how he is Always there for me

R is for how Romantic he is, and he doesn't even realize it.

D is for how I would Die for him

My mouth was gaping at the last line. She would die for me?

I needed to be able to die for her too. I needed to be human. I needed it. Right. Now.

I opened a new document and typed "Be back in a few minutes. Need to clear my head. I love you." across the screen.

I was out the window in less than a second.

I found myself running through the woods by her house, my fingers pressed to my temples. Turn me into a human. Turn me into a human. Let me be human! Please! I stopped in the middle of the forest and pressed my hands to my sides. I brought my face up to the sky... and screamed. Screamed louder than I had screamed in my entire life. Louder than I'd screamed when I'd transformed into a vampire.

The birds in the trees flew away, the animals hid in the bushes, and I'm pretty sure I heard Bella exclaim "Holy Crow!" inside her home.

I stopped screaming and purposely fell onto the ground, staring at the sky. The rocks and twigs on the ground didn't hurt me. This still felt like lying on a comfortable bed.

I stared up at the sun, scowling. Why couldn't I have been born the year Bella was born? Why couldn't I have been a human and stayed a human?

Why couldn't God answer this one prayer?

I shut my eyes tight and tried to clear my head... wanting to hear only one voice. I listened intently, and I found Bella's silent thoughts again. I could hear her footsteps as she walked up her staircase though... I could hear the worry in her breath as she ran faster and faster to her room.

"Edward?" I heard her ask.

I heard her walk to the computer and close out of my little note with the mouse. I listened as she opened the window wide, and breathed in the fresh air. Her heartbeat was uneven. She knew that it had been my scream.

My eyes became more relaxed as I heard her sigh and flop onto her bed to wait for me. I heard her breaths become more even, and soon, a soft snore was coming from the back of her throat. I'd known she wanted to go back to sleep.

I laid on the ground for a long time, my eyes closed. I began to feel an odd tingling sensation in my fingertips. I passed it off as a bug crawling on me, and ignored it.

The tingling sensation was soon on my arms. It felt like rain... but it was warm. Maybe the sun was doing it. I ignored it again.

And then the oddest thing happened.

One second, I was listening to the sound of the wind in the trees and Bella's breathing, and the next second I was sitting in a grassy field on a blanket, Bella smiling beside me.

She talked about a few things. How she was nervous about a test that was coming up... how she had gotten a bad bruise on her arm from getting hit with a soccer ball in gym... and how she was really excited about our date tonight. I saw my plans for the night flash in my eyes... we were going to go to dinner, then take a walk in Port Angeles, and then come home. A feeling of warmth came over me as I imagined what would happen at home... every kiss... every touch... the morning...

I was getting very caught up in this odd thing that was happening, and I was shocked to return to hearing the wind in the trees again.

My eyes shot open and I yelped at the darkness. It was pitch black! I couldn't see a thing! I started getting up and was surprised at how off-balance I felt. I scrambled to my feet and almost fell back down again.

I listened hard to hear what Bella was doing. Was she worried? Had she gone out to look for me?

I couldn't hear her. I couldn't hear... anything. No thoughts of others filled my mind, or passing cars on the highway. All I could hear was the light breeze ruffling the leaves in the trees and the sounds of scurrying animals nearby.

My eyes were now adjusting to the darkness. I was now able to make out the shapes of the trees. I looked up in the sky and saw the pale moon directly above me. What did that mean? That it was midnight?

What was happening? Why couldn't I see? Why couldn't I hear?

I sniffed the air and I could smell damp moss and dirt. Though there were a few squirrels in the tree above me, I could smell no blood.

No blood.

And that's when it dawned on me. I took a deep breath and spoke aloud. "My name is Edward Cullen."

My voice was no longer a pure sound of ringing bells. It was husky and quiet.

To prove that this was really happening, there was one more test I had to make.

I pressed my hand to my chest. And I felt the heartbeat that I hadn't felt since 1918.

I was no longer a vampire. I was a human.

"Thank you, God." I whispered.
