"Are you ready to leave or can we just lie here all day?"
"I'm fine with either option, as long as you are here."
"I'll always be here, with you, no matter what."
"'Kay."
I leaned back against his chest and we both sighed. I began tracing his arm with my finger, like the first time we were in the meadow.
"You lied about one other thing."
"What's that."
"You said human memories faded."
"Well, you are a pretty odd human and from what I saw, you tried to remember."
"Well at first I gave up anything that had to do with you. I forbid myself to remember, but I was terrified to forget. When I found out that I hadn't been fooling Charlie, I began to focus on one part of you to remember. The night you came back was you eyes. The next night I forgot to do that. That's why I thought my dreams were torturing me. You see, if that was a dream, it would have been bad in the morning."
"At least you tried for a while, I was completely useless without you. It's like you took half of me with you. Before you, my life was like a moonless night, not very bright, but still filled with stars. Then you came along, like a meteor shooting through the sky and I was blinded by the light. When you were gone, my world was black."
"Your seeing would have adjusted."
"Not for my kind. Our memories stay sharp and clear. No matter how long I would have lived without you, I would never forget, which is why I don't think I would have lived much longer. I would have gone to Italy."
"No! Promise me that no matter what happens to me you wont do that. Think of Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Emmett, Japer, even Rosalie! What would happen if I wasn't really gone? Or what if you were killed. Would you want me to go kill myself?"
"No, I guess not."
"You still didn't promise."
"Neither did you."
"Fine, I'll let it drop for now."
Then, my traitorous stomach growled.
"I guess we better get you home." He sighed.
"Can we go to your house?"
"I'd rather go to your house. We don't have any food over there at the moment."
"Oh."
"What will Charlie think of me?"
"He will probably hate you."
"I deserve it."
"Can we quit talking about that."
"Fine with me."
We went back to Charlie's and I got something to eat. He watched me intently as I ate. Eventually, I began to feel self-conscious and I blushed.
"I've missed that so much." He said as he reached across the table to touch my cheek. Charlie was on his way home, and Edward decided that unless we wanted to explain to Charlie why a few bullets did nothing to Edward, he better leave.
"Don't leave!" I couldn't keep the desperation out of my voice.
"I'll be upstairs."
He gave me a short kiss and ran up to my room. I just stood there smiling stupidly until I heard Charlie's car door.
"Hey Dad! How was your day? Did you catch a bunch? I already ate but I can cook you something, what would you like?"
"Umm. Are you okay?"
"I'm absolutely fine, why do you ask?"
"Because you are smiling."
"Oh. Well what do you want to eat?" I couldn't help smiling. He would find out soon enough anyway.
"Actually, I ate something at Billy's so why don't we sit down and you can tell me why you are so happy."
Umm, I didn't know what to tell him. What should I tell him?
"Oh, not much. You never told me how your day was."
"And you are avoiding the subject. I think I should know why my daughter has gone from severe depression to overly ecstatic."
"Ok, well first promise you won't do anything extreme. It was a mistake."
"Bells, you are worrying me."
"Well it's sort of, well they are— "
I was cut off then by the doorbell.
I opened the door and then heard Charlie start yelling. I could almost feel the anger in the room.
"WHAT!!"
