Hello there!!! It's time for the chapter you've all been waiting for! That's right, in this chapter Bella and Edward finally meet again!! Well technically they met in the last chapter, but you know what I mean! In this chapter Bella and Edward finally talk for the first time in 100 years!! There does that fit for all you technicall people? Okay so I'm not going to be mean and hold this story hostage until I get a certain number of reviews, but I would REALLY appreciate it if people would review more.... Please? Oh and before we get on with the chapter please at some point read The New-She Wolf In Town because it is the story out of my 5 that I've fallen in love with writing! The first chapter isn't very good so get to the second chapter before you decide anything about it please! Also as a warning this chapter borders on M, although still within T. There isn't a lemon, but lets just say that things get a little hot between Edward and Bella. Oh and there is some bad language.

What Hurts The Most

Edward POV

I was at the meadow, our meadow, except there was no our anymore because she was gone, like she had been for the last 100 years. The thought made me want to curl up in a ball, the pain was to great, the reason I didn't was because that same pain had immobalized me. Bella... sweet, funny, beautiful, unpredictable, illogical Bella was gone from this world. My world. And this new world had lost it's color.... it was all in black and white....

I could remember every detail of the last time I had been here, when I was here with her. I could remember the feeling of her warm fingers trailing on my arm. I could remember her eyes appraising me as I stepped into the sunlight for the first time in front of her.

I wish I could join her in the other world.... I didn't want to be in this world without her even if their was no afterlife for my kind. I would've gone to Italy as soon as I heard what had happened, but Alice saw and she knew, so she stopped me. I guess you could say that Alice's version of stop was to tell my family what I wanted to do so that I was forcably retrained by my whole family.

I couldn't sneak away after that, if I had plans for Italy, Alice would always stop me. Eventually when Alice snapped after another failed escape for a suicidal attempt, she made it very clear how I was hurting them all by doing this, even Rose. Rose just wanted her family back, the way it was before my beautiful Bella came into the picture.

My mind was lost in the world of my memories, memories of her, until I heard an intake of breath behind me. It took me by surprise, there shouldn't be anyone here, I would've heard their minds. I quickly turned my head so that I found myself looking at the most beautiful female vampire I've ever seen. I knew who she was even before her scent hit me, that oh so familiar scent I thought I would never smell again. But what was she doing here? Now? I saw her sweep her eyes over the meadow until they finally met mine. And I saw the golden color that would've made my heart stop if it had still been beating. Golden eyes ment only one thing, vampire.

She froze, her body becoming like a statue, and both of us no longer breathing. How had this happened? I had left her so she could avoid this, so she could live a normal human life. She didn't look a day older from when I left, who had done this?

And then I gasped as reality hit me. She was really here. She wasn't gone, my beautiful Bella was still here!

"Bella...." I said with a pained wisper, and then her eyes widened.

"Edward?" She asked uncertain, her voice sweeter now. She was still like a statue but her eyes now looked like, if she could cry anymore, she would.

Without thinking I stood up and rushed over to her, taking her into my arms. And for the first time in a century I felt whole again, complete. And for the first time in a century I saw color.

Bella POV

And he was hugging me, tightly, like he was afraid to let go again. I'm sure it was just wishful thinking on my part though, he had made that clear when he left. But I let myself believe, as I hugged him back wishing I could cry. I was so happy, I had finally found him again. I raised my head off his chest and looked at his face, my foggy human memory of him had done his face a great injustice. He was so beautiful.

"Edward...." I choked.

"Shhh love, don't speak." Edward murmured to me gently putting a finger to my mouth. Then he took that hand and cupped my chin, before leaning down and touching his soft lips against mine.

I gasped not expecting this, not ready for this. It would now hurt so much more when he left me again. I knew I should push him away and stop this, but my traitor body had other ideas. My lips started moving fervently with his, and I was lost, the world could've crumbled around me and I would never notice.

Our kiss got harder and we started backing up, until my back was against a tree. I groaned, my eternally cold body suddenly feeling like it was on fire. Then his lips left mine, and I let out another groan, this one of disappointment. I let out a gasp as his mouth went to my neck leaving butterfly kisses, and I was no longer disappointed.

"E-Edward...." I said breathlessly as he nipped at my neck. My lungs no longer needed air, but I was practically panting as he continued to wreak havoc on my neck. Not that I was exactly complaining.

My back was to the tree and he smushed our bodies against each other until their was no space left between us, as his lips found mine again.

"Bella... I missed you so much...." He wispered, his breath against my ear, making me shiver with delight. Then his mouth started nipping and playing with my earlobe, while the rest of his body started to ground against mine. I let out another surprised gasp when I felt it pressing against my thigh.

And then the friction disappeared.

Along with him.

It took me a few seconds to gather myself again, enough to look for him. There he was on the opposite side of the meadow, his back turned towards me. Edward's head was against the tree, his right arm resting right above his head. I could see his body shake, as he took in unneeded breathes. What was wrong with him? Why did he stop?

I still felt hot, and my normally sharp vampire mind was hazy with desire. I couldn't seem to think straight. I let gravity take over as my back slid against the tree trunk, until I was sitting on the ground by it's roots.

"Edward? What's wrong?" I asked, knowing he would hear me. Then a thought clicked in my brain, I knew I had felt it but what if that was just pure lust? I had been told several times I was beautiful for even a vampire, so what if he had done that out of lust for my body, and then remembered it was me? I felt the hole inside me tear open with avengence, the pain only second to when I had changed.

Edward POV

"Edward? What's wrong?" I heard her confused, sweet, and perfect voice ask me. What was wrong? Wasn't it obvious? I was the biggest jackass ever, that was the problem. How could I have done that to her? We hadn't seen each other for 100 years, and the first thing I do when I see her is try to fuck her like some kind of animal.

I punched the tree I was leaning on, making it topple over into some other trees behind it.

I had just wanted to hold her in my arms, at least that was what I had intended, but when she had looked at me with those shining topaz eyes and looked at me like she had.... I just completely lost all sense. I hadn't felt like a man in 100 years so I hadn't been prepared for the sudden rush of desire that had suddenly taken hold of me. So much for being a gentleman.

I felt to ashamed of my behavior to face her, but I knew i needed to apologize to her. I knew it was to much to ask for, but I hoped she would forgive the monster I was.

I took a deep breath before turning around to face her. I had expected her to be where I had left her, looking at me with confusion, but I had not expected the sight before me. She was still leaning against they same tree, but she was on the ground now. That alone would have been normal, but coupled with the absolute pain in her expression, told me something was very very wrong.

"Bella, love?" I asked her gently, beside her. I was scared, why was she in so much pain?

(Meanwhile) Shane POV

"Yes it's Bella of coarse! Geez I thought she said you guys were smart!" Cassie said, laughing uncontrollably. "How could you not realize she was an incredibly powerful shield?!"

"A shield?" Carlisle asked her. I just sat there holding Cassie's hand, knowing it was the only thing I could do, and that this was one time I couldn't help her.

"Yes she is a very powerful shield like I said. She can't be mentally affected by other vampire gifts like Edward's, Aro's, or Jane's. Her mind belongs to no one, but herself. Well, unless she wants to, she can sometimes put the barrier down, but it's very hard for her. She can also extend her shield to protect other from the same type's of gifts." Cassie told them proudly.

I saw the Cullen's all look at each other with wonder, and Carlisle seemed amazed. And then for the first time, I spoke up.

"So why did you leave her?" I asked them seriously. I wanted to know what reason they had for putting Bella in all that pain, it had better be a damn good one.

Carlisle looked at me with surprise, I suppose he hadn't expected me to talk since I hadn't said a word after telling Bella to go. Cassie just looked at me and gave me a small understanding smile, she knew that this was the most important question to me. That's one of the reason's I loved her so much, I usually never had to explain my words or actions, she just always knew.

"It was Edward's idea!" The speaker of the words surprised me, it was the small pixie like one, Alice. She had such a look of fury on her face. That's when I felt little Alice's pain. She had missed Bella terribly, and she hadn't wanted to leave her in the first place. So why did she?

I could feel pain coming from every single one of them, they all missed her. Well the blond female, Rosalie, really only felt pain for how her family had become, but although it was buried deep she also missed Bella and felt bad for her.

"Alice, I don't-" Carlisle tried to say, but Alice cut him off.

"No Carlisle, I'm tired of tip-toeing around this subject for a century! It's Edward's fault for being such a masochistic fool and all of us know it! And they deserve to know the truth!" She said with suppressed anger. Then she turned back toward us, her voice calmer now.

"Bella came over to our house for her 18th birthday, and because of a paper cut, my husband Jasper who wasn't the best at controlling his bloodlust back then, attacked her. One thing led to another and Bella had 7 hungry vampires craving her blood. No one else attacked her after we calmed Jasper down, and she even healed fine after Carlisle healed her, but the damage was done. Edward became convinced we were to dangerous for her. He wanted her to have a normal human life so he left, and made us leave too. He didn't understand her feelings for him were just as strong as his own. He told me not to look for her in visions either. We finally convinced him to come back to Forks, to visit her grave. We all thought she was dead until we saw her today......" Her voice broke at the end and I could feel her anguish at thinking Bella was dead.

"It's.... okay." I grounded out. I didn't like it, but they had had the best intentions for her, and I couldn't begrudge them for that. But I could also sympathise with Bella. What if Cassie had decided to let me go when I had finished healing? I felt immence pain at the thought, entirely my own. Cassie gave my hand another squeeze as if she knew what was going through my mind, while she started talking to Carlisle about Bella.

I let my mind wander, only partly focusing on the conversation. I did a routine check of my coven members, almost unconsiously. I always checked Cassie first, because everyone, including Bella who was like my second mother, was second to Cassie. Cassie seemed okay right now, although I was so in tune with her that I felt her buried pain. She was in pain at the thought of what Bella would do now. Now that she had found her old coven, and her mate, would she leave us? I would talk to her about that later, when we were alone. There wasn't anything I could do about it right now, as much as I wished I could.

Alex was in a little pain, but no surprise there, she didn't like the feeling of being trapped in with 6 vampires she had just met. We would be leaving soon to find Bella so she would be okay, and I didn't worry about it.

Brian wasn't in any pain, but it was obvious from the way his eyes were trained on Emmet, that he wished he could fight him. I shot him a warning look, telling him to settle down. We couldn't let Brian fight, even a fun fight without Bella here, I didn't know how her old coven members would react.

Then I let my sense go out and search for Bella, I needed to see how she was doing. I could usually only feel the pain of those close by, but Cassie and Bella were the exceptions. I found her, and the moment I did my body went into spasms (A/N = I'm not totally sure if vampire bodies can do that, but I assume that if they can feel pain, they can spasm). Everyone had gone quiet except for Cassie who was now leaning over me, calling my name and asking what was wrong. I didn't need my gift to know how worried she was about me.

"Shane! Shane, who is it?! What's going on?!" She called to me, almost hystericly. I came to myself at her voice and let my sense (A/N = I don't really know what else to call it...) pull away from Bella.

The spasms stopped, and I sat up, gasping. It was almost like the time Brian was transforming. I had had to leave because it hurt so much and I made sure I wasn't around when Alex went through the same thing. Bella's pain wasn't exactly the same level, but it came so close it was terrifying. Then I made my self remember what she was feeling to make her like that. I let out a loud hiss.

"Shane?" Cassie asked me quietly.

"It's Bella. Looks like she ran into that stupid ass Edward who has the charm to fuck up the situation worse then he already did!" I growled in frustration.

A/N = Okay I spent almost my whole afternoon and evening working on this, and while I'm very proud of myself for accomplishing that, I would REALLY appreciate it if you would take about 5 seconds of your time to review. Please? :)
