I do not own any other the characters from Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga. The ideas in this are my own, with the exception of a few minor details that are needed to make this story work. Please enjoy!

Searching for Bella was beginning to take it's toll on me. I was becoming irritable, crushed, and terribly discouraged. It had been 6 months since I started. Maybe she really was dead. If that was the case, surely there could be something that I could do to get over it. I knew the answer to this already, though. There would be no way of getting over Bella. She had already changed me.

I was looking in Russia when I decided to check in with the others at home. I reached for my cell phone and saw that I had a missed call and a new message. It was from Alice.

"Edward! I don't care where you are. You need to get your ass back home NOW. We've found her. We've found Bella at a fashion show and somehow she's a vampire. I swear if you're not home in 2 days I will-" I shut the phone and raced for the nearest airport. The only flight to America that was leaving within the hour was to Chicago. Our new home was in Rhode Island. It would have to do.

I couldn't believe how long it took to get passed security. We all had to wait in one line for fifteen minutes, another for 30, and then another for fifteen minutes again. I could hear everyone's thoughts and the most violent thing someone was thinking was about punishing their cat if it ate the fish again. Humans and their ignorant worries. I had other things to worry about. More important things like Bella. After all this time of searching the world for her, Alice and Rosalie find her at a fashion show. This wasn't like my Bella. She was content with sweats and a ratty shirt.

The plane ride took 16 hours. I was so impatient I began thinking that it would have been faster if I had just swam, but I knew that this wasn't true. First class was empty, so luckily I didn't have to listen to anyone's thoughts. All I could hear were my own, but some where worse than others. What if Bella didn't want me back? What if she would never forgive me for what I did? And now she's a vampire. The one thing I didn't want to happen did. My poor Bella had her innocence taken away from her. But how could this have happened? My family and I were the only vampires in the area, and Alice never saw anyone else coming. All of these questions would be answered soon enough.

Once out of the airport, I stole a car and drove as fast as I could back to Rhode Island. I told myself that I would never do anything to anyone else again, but this was Bella we were talking about. Whoever owned this car can get another one. Somehow, the highway was oddly empty. I tried to remember the date in case there was a holiday. After thinking of the month and the day, I found that there was no holiday. I guess I was just extremely lucky.

I raced down the roads promising myself to go a minimum of 95. I had to get home, and a little thing like slow speed wasn't going to stop me. There was one point, however, when I had to go 85. Someone was driving under the speed limit and a person in the next lane was going just as slow, if not slower. After switching back and forth from lane to lane and riding their tales, they finally sped up and made a gap in between them.

After ten hours, I finally came into the state. I pushed the car as fast as it could go so I would get home within 30 minutes. The car was very fast. It reached 130mph. I was impressed because I made it home in 20 minutes.

I parked the car badly on the side of the street and ran inside. All of the lights were on, so I assumed everyone was there.

"Where is she?!" I yelled as I burst through the door.

"Edward! Oh Edward! I'm so glad you're home!" Esme rushed to me and gave me a hug. I quickly squeezed her and then pushed her aside.

"Where's Bella? I need to see her!" I ran from room to room, and then back to the living room. "Dammit, someone tell me where she is!" Just then I felt a tap on my shoulder. I quickly turned around.

"Hi Edward." There she was smiling shyly up at me. It was my Bella.
