A/N: Guess this is chapter 3. I didn't get as much feedback on this chapter so please review. It makes me update sooner. I'd also like to say… Steph, what if I told you everything that happens in this story? You can probably guess anyways, it's a short thing but still… its not as long as Seeing Double so be ready to let it go. PS: I might make a random story with you, Kathy, Kaitlin, and me and our little Edward years. (other people that aren't Steph, if you wanna know, PM me) Let me know if I should hehe. Oh yeah. Everybody. Please visit Soccerdog12's profile and vote on her poll.
Disclaimer: Sadly, all this belongs to Stephenie Meyer. I love you Stephenie, until we take over and steal what ever you have done of Midnight Sun, Breaking Dawn, and the Host. HEHEHEHEHAAHAAAHAAA.
I woke up the next morning to see sunlight streaming through my window. I hated sunny days. And it was a Saturday. Yesterday I had convinced Charlie to go fishing with Billy so now I have to spend the stupid sunny day alone. Reluctantly, I got out of bed, but as I sat up, something glittering caught my eye.
I turned my head so I could see what it was and gasped.
"A-a-lice?" (ha not what you expected is it?)
"It's me Bella."
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I'm not supposed to tell you. You also werent supposed to wake up for 4 minutes and 37 seconds."
"Why can't you tell me. I need to know, and you know that I have a right to know."
"All I can say is that you need to listen to him. Listen to what he says. It's the truth."
This confused my sleepy mind.
"Who?"
"I cant say. Go get in the shower and get something to eat. I wont be here when you get back. I just want to say that we miss you very much. I still think of you as a sister. I love you Bella. Don't forget that we all do."
She got up and hugged me, then danced to the window. She left but I'm sure she heard me when I said "Not all of you."
--(DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THE LINE THING, HELP APPRECIATED.)--
I went back upstairs after I was finished so I could get my homework that I would purposley drag out so it took as much time as possible to do. I never read, never watched T.V., stopped listening to music, and basically anything else that reminded me of him so I didn't know what to do with the time. I mostly just stared out the window or worked on my homework or cooked for Charlie or pretended my chest wasn't falling to pieces, even after all these months. I groaned when I thought about having to email Renee.
I opened the door and screamed.
"I'm still asleep aren't I?"
"No."
"Then I'm dead? I don't deserve heaven, why am I here?"
"Bella, you are not dead." The sweet angel said in its perfect-yet-pained velvet voice.
"Yes I am. That's the only explanation to why you are here."
"The explanation for why I am here… you better sit down."
I sat on the edge of the bed and instead of sitting in the computer chair, or the rocking chair, he came and sat next to me. He took my hands, and me, not being used to the coldness, gasped.
"Bella, I lied. I am truly sorry. If you want me to leave I can. I wasn't going to come back. But I did. Then I was going to just stay for one night, but, well, as usual, you were talking in your sleep."
"You lied. I know."
"You know?"
"Yes, I know you don't want me. You only pretended. You don't have to tell me again. Got the message."
"No, that's what I was lying about. Why can you believe the lie but not the truth? It hurt me so much when you believed me immediately. I thought I was going to have to lie for hours. I thought you would see right through me. When I told you that I didn't want you, it was the very darkest form of blasphemy. I love you more than anything in this entire universe. I would die for you. I also wouldn't live in a world where you didn't exist. I meant that when I said it last fall. Everything I told you before that night was true. I'm not sure if I can prove it to you, but it's the truth."
As he said those last words, I remembered what Alice had said. I looked up into the light butterscotch of his eyes and saw nothing but love, and honesty in them. They werent hard like the night he left me.
"I'm sorry I left this morning, I wanted you to wake up in my arms, but Alice made me go hunting."
"Why did you have to go hunting so immediately that you couldn't wait for a few hours? How long has it been since you last hunted?"
"A month." He reluctantly admitted.
"And may I ask why its been that long?"
"I didn't do anything. Nothing. I sat alone all the time. I left the family and was tracking Victoria for awhile but I lost her. When I decided to come back, just to see how you were, Alice met me here a day later."
"So you really were here last night. And I saw you were the bronze flashes I kept seeing."
"Yes."
"I still don't understand why you came back. What is so important about me?"
"Everything. Everything about you is important to me. You are my everything. I barely survived with out you. I was an empty shell. I left for you protection, but I cant do it any more. I'm so so sorry. There is nothing I could do to make this up to you, but I'm going to spend forever trying."
"F-forever?" I stuttered.
"Forever Bella. That is how long I will love you, and that is how much you mean to me. I will be there for you for forever. Nothing can stop me. Not even myself. Unless, you don't want me forever. Or you don't want forever."
Here he was, vulnerable, and declaring his infinite love to me. Before, I could only think of two options for the voice in my head. Finally I saw it. Option three, he loved me. Really and truly loved me.
"I love you Edward. I will never stop loving you, no matter what you do. Of course I want forever."
"Would you like me to show you how much I love you? Just in case you don't believe me."
I couldn't help but smile. And then he kissed me. It was different than most of our kisses. I really could feel the love. Words werent needed because that kiss said everything. We both pulled away at the same time and just stared into each other's eyes.
"Do you believe me now?"
"Yes."
"Let's go to the meadow. We can talk more there. By the way, I love you. And you will be sick of those words, because I am going to say them as often as I can. Oh and," along with his grin, his eyes showed that he was joking. "Alice says 'you're wrong.'"
"I know that now. Let's go."
When we got to the meadow. We talked for hours. I learned that Alice had already seen Edward's decision to stay and that the rest of the family was coming back too. We talked about the few things we had done while he was away. He flinched when he learned that I didn't do anything.
"Bella, I am sorry. How could I have done this? How could I cause an angel so much pain?"
"I understand your reason for doing it. You're forgiven. I love you, but promise you wont leave me ever again?"
"I promise."
A/N: Yay fluff! I was going to be mean and leave you with a cliffhanger, but the chapter was getting too long because I get carried away when it comes to fluff. Please review. It would make me so happy and makes me want to write more and my crazy, Twilight-obsessed brain wont let me do anything else normally until I DO write so… review. Also its difficult to write this because my friend has New Moon.
