THIS IS A FLASHBACK!!(Edwards POV still)

FLASHBACK!! BEFORE THEY BROKE UP!

"Edward!" Her voice shot through the rain and rang in my ear like a musical note.

"Why are you still here? You must have been waiting for hours...I'm so sorry." I had been waiting for hours, three to be exact.

"So why didn't you just go home? I mean look at you! It's pouring out here."

"Because you told me to meet you here." I didn't want to leave. What if she had come and I wasn't there? She just looked at me for a moment. I couldn't read what she was feeling.

"I fell asleep. I didn't realize what time it was. Forgive me?" I didn't believe her.

"I forgive you." She smiled, I loved her smile. It was the smile of a girl who was in love with the world, and when I was with her I loved it too. I moved toward her closing the space between us to wrap my arms around her. She didn't even seem to mind that I was drenched in rain water. She looked up into my eyes.

"Edward, I love you... so much." She whispered the words into my ear like a secret she didn't want to share with anyone else. It made me feel like I was needed. Like someone needed me to be there; and it felt so good.

"I love you too Bella." I held her head in my hands, tangling my fingers in her damp hair. Nothing else mattered when we were like this. I wished it was always this way.

"Edward lets go home." Her voice sounded soft in a way nothing had before. It was so gentle.

"Okay, let's go." We began to walk the long mostly uphill walk to her house. The rain began to soften and things began to get lighter.

"Good! The rain is stopping! It's so beautiful after a storm, don't you think so?" She was so happy that day, Bella, so care free. She began to spin around in circles as fast as she could. Looking up into the sky and catching tiny drops of rain on her eyelashes. She began laughing as loud as she could. Her Laughter was so beautiful to me, it sounded like music.

"What are you doing?" I began to laugh with her. Bella stopped spinning. She looked at me and smiled.

"Dancing. Can't you tell? Or am I really that bad?" Laughter came through her voice as she spoke.

"You must just be that bad because I didn't have a clue." She knew I was joking but pretended to be offended anyway.

"Oh Edward you are so mean to me!" Bella turned to me and feigned a glare. After a moment she couldn't keep it up and just decided to stick her tongue out at me instead.

We walked together, hand in hand, through her neighborhood. It was sunny now, the clouds had parted and everything was bright and clear.

"Finally we are home!" Bella announced. It was late in the afternoon now and the light was getting dim. The inside of her house was dark and many long shadows were cast against the walls and floors. Her house was warm, safe. We walked down the narrow hallway into her room.

She switched on a small lamp in the corner of the room. This was the only light in the room which was sometimes accompanied by candles or the light of outside if it was light enough. The room was small and had wooden floors. The bed took up most of the space in the room and is where we sat.

"Edward?"

"Yes?"

"Do you remember when my ceiling light broke?" What a weird question. I thought about it. I couldn't remember.

"No, I don't remember."

"Huh. Neither do I. I keep trying to remember; it's really been bothering me though." She frowned a little, wrinkling her forehead.

"Bella, don't worry about it. Does it really matter when your ceiling lamp broke?"

"Well I suppose not but I would still like to know." She was quiet for a while. Just laying on her back and looking up at the ceiling. I always wondered what she was thinking when she was like this.

Silence. So much of our time together was just spent in silence. We would just lay in her room together not saying anything, just thinking, probably about each other. Neither one of us dared to break the silence. We would just fall asleep.

Hours seemed to pass. It was dark outside now.

"Bella? Are you asleep?" I whispered. I didn't want to wake her if she had been asleep. No answer came from her lips. I sat up in bed and looked at her. She was so beautiful. I Bent over her ear, gently touching my lips to it.

"Bella, I want to be with you forever." My voice was shaky. I was scared, nervous. What if she heard me? What if she didn't feel the same? I didn't care. I wanted her to know. I wanted her to know that I would always love her and nothing would ever change that. No matter what she did or said. Nothing she could do would make me change my mind about how I felt.

She continued to sleep. Breathing gently. My beautiful Bella, oh how I love you.
