I looked at Billy with a mixture of shock and terror. "Hello Billy, what brings you to the Cullen residence?" He stared at me, his eyes going straight through me.

"You're one of them, aren't you Isabella. You're a cold one, are you not?" I stared at him for a few moments before letting out a small laugh.

"You have no idea what you're talking about William Black." I began to walk out the front door, scanning the area for Edward. He wasn't anywhere in sight. "I haven't changed in the least."

"You're too pretty, did you think people wouldn't notice the change? No one can be that pretty…" His words felt like daggers going through my body. I had noticed that my appearance had changed slightly after the change, but I hadn't thought it was as drastic as he was saying it was. My stomach had flattened a bit more, my legs toned out, but other than that everything was normal. So what could he have meant?

"Billy, I think you should leave." I turned around to see Carlisle standing behind me. I hadn't even noticed him leave the house. His blonde hair and dark eyes stunned me every time I looked at him. Just like the rest of the Cullens, he was stunningly beautiful. "This is our home, and with all due respect, we do not wish for you to be here." Billy grimaced as he headed towards his truck.

"Don't think I don't know what you did to her Cullen, that girl is just as undead as you are." He turned to look at me and I just sighed. "I warned you Bella, I told you to stop what you were doing before it got too late…stupid girl."

"Good bye Billy…"

I walked into Edward's room and sat down next to him, interlacing our fingers so that he knew I was there. I knew he wasn't sleeping, yet he didn't seem fully aware of the things around him either. He looked just as god-like as he always had. I couldn't help but push a few stray strands of hair away from his face, revealing his open eyes.

"Edward darling, can you hear me? Edward, It's Bella…" I cooed. He may not acknowledge I was there, but I still wanted him to know that I was. "Edward, I love you. I'm not going to leave, okay? I'm right here, next to you. Can you feel my hand?" I gently squeezed his hand, as I leaned forward and kissed his lips gently. "You're going to be fine love, Alice said so." I felt him squeeze my hand in response.

"He can hear you Bella, he may not respond, but he can feel you there." I smiled as Jasper sat down next to me. Once again I felt the familiar calming sensation and just smiled. "I figured you needed to calm down a bit, especially after what happened with Billy earlier. I scowled at the mention of the visitor's name.

"I know Jasper. I just want to make sure…that he's not alone." I smiled sheepishly when I noticed he was looking at me suspiciously. "Oh alright…I also wanted to be the first thing he sees when he comes to…"

"That's what I thought." He replied with a bellowing laugh. I smiled slightly at his good mood, despite his adopted brother's condition. "Hey Bella, we never got around to talking about….well…that day." I looked away quickly, even though I knew trying to hide my emotions was useless.

"It was an accident Jasper, I didn't mean to. I should have listened to Alice and Esme's advice, and stayed away for a few days, until I wasn't hungry anymore. I didn't. Luckily Alice found me before I did anything rash." I said with a hollow voice. We both knew I'd rather be listening to Nsync then talking about it, yet we both knew I needed to talk about it. I mean, a person doesn't get over almost killing their father, especially not me.

"I'm sorry Bella…." I looked at Edward, who now had his eyes open slightly. I smiled as I leaned down to kiss him again, this time slightly more passionate.

"For what love?" I laid my head on his chest, tracing circles around the hollow at the base of his throat. He has such beautiful skin, even as pale as it was. It made me wonder what he looked like as a human. I often found myself wondering about things like that. What color his eyes were then? What his face looked like after running, or blushing? I'm positive nothing could look more beautiful then he did presently.

He tried to sit up, but both Jasper and I gently pushed him back down. "For not keeping you away from Charlie that day…I should have been watching you better." I smiled despite myself, as I looked over at Jasper. He understood immediately and walked out the door, closing it behind him. I positioned myself directly above Edward and kissed him. "It's ok love…I should have listened. It's all ok now…you're going to be fine…"

"I know Bella, I know…I'm not going to let anything take me away from you…not after I've just found you…" His voice was soft, almost a whisper.

"You didn't find me, we found each other…" I let out a small laugh at how corny that sounded, trying to calm myself down before I burst into a fit of giggles. "Wow…that sounded really corny didn't it?"

He smiled while laying me on my side so we were facing each other. "Just a little…but I like it." he gently touched my face, tracing the outline of my lips with his thumb.

He kissed me gently before closing his eyes again. I cuddled up to him, making sure he could feel me. I wanted to be there for him, the way he always seemed to be there for me. "I love you Isabella Cullen."

I sat straight up and looked at him in shock. "What did you just say Edward?" I waited for him to reply, and when none came I repeated the question. "Edward, what did you say?"

"Bella Swan…I said Swan…" he told himself. I laid back down and hugged him closing, humming in time with his nonexistent heart beat. I kept telling myself that everything was going to be just fine. That Edward and I were going to live happily for the rest of eternity.

I just couldn't ignore the sinking feeling in my stomach, telling me that for some reason…something was going to go wrong. It made me hold on to Edward that much tighter.

Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you, and hold for all eternity
For just one second I felt whole... as you flew right through me.

Left alone with only reflections of the memory
To face the ugly girl that's smothering me.
Sitting closer than my pain...
He knew each tear before it came,
And soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful by and by…
