A/N: Hi again! I know I said this chapter would be up soon but I just didn't have time: the exams started! They weren't supposed to start for another week! Now I'm going to take exam after exam until around the middle of May LOL. Anyways here's the next chapter! One of my favorite characters is going to show up in this chapter! Can you guess who? =)) Also this chapter is much longer than my usual so I think you'll like it =)) Oh, I almost forgot, there's more talking in this, I didn't use quotation marks because I'm weird like that, I started writing this without using quotation marks so I'll finish it like that. Sorry if it's hard to get, I promise I'll use quotation marks in my other fics! Enjoy!
He acts colder now. He still responds to her kiss (she thinks it's sort of automatic for him - it is for her anyway.), but he doesn't even look at her anymore. Not like he used to. (Isn't this what she wanted? No emotions? Maybe not.) She no longer feels like she can hold on to him. So she buys herself a calender, counting off each day, to keep her busy. He watches her, it's clear he doesn't approve of this new habit. She doesn't care, she's actually kind of satisfied that she's doing something he doesn't approve. It's not like he's going to say or do anything about it anyway. It's not his style, she thinks bitterly. Without noticing it, she realizes, she's counted off her death day. She doesn't know what she'll do today. She surely won't be celebrating.
Hours later, he finds her lying on her bed, staring at the ceiling. (Yes, he does find her all in the worst moments.) She pretends she didn't hear him come in, wishing he would just go away. He curls up beside her instead. After a while (Seconds? Hours? Years? All she knows is, it's still dark outside.), she softly speaks:
- Why do you think we can't sleep?
-I don't know. I don't miss it, I can't really remember much about sleeping. But I can remember dreaming.
- What did you used to dream about?
- I don't remember. I just remember dreaming. It was nice.
- Do you ever miss being human?
- I can't really remember being human.
- I can.
He sighes.
- Memories can fade, Rosalie.
- You mean they can be forced away.
She knows he wants to answer, she can feel him opening his mouth to argue. But he closes it back and holds her in his arms instead. They lie like that until next morning. (Or is it the morning after that? First morning of next year? A morning some years after? They can't tell.)

They have a fight. Like they always do. She can't remember why they fighted, but she storms out. She wanders aimlessly, wondering what Vera is doing now. She probably doesn't remember she ever had a friend named Rosalie. She must be too busy with Henry to remember. That's when she sees him for the first time. When she sees those dimples, she knows she can't let him die. Hours later, she's back home, with so much blood on her hands. She bites her lip, waiting for Carlisle to finish examining him. He comes out of the room with a grave expression.
- There's nothing I can do, Rosalie. He is going to die.
She's sure that if she could cry she'd burst into tears now.
- I want to see him.
She goes inside, Edward comes with her. He's lying on the bed, staining the matress crimson. She hears a voice shriek:
- Turn him Carlisle! Please, I can't stand it!
She's about to tell the person who said that to shut up, that she won't let anybody else go through the things she did. Than she realizes it's her own voice. Carlisle and Edward stare at each other for a moment, than Carlisle nods. She can't watch. She buries her face to Edward's chest. He rubs her back, the gentleman as ever.
- It's done. Let's take him to the guest room, clean him up.
Edward hesitantly lets go of her to help Carlisle. She runs to the bathroom and locks herself up. She stares at the mirror, hating herself for being so selfish. Than she turns the water as hot as it'll go and begins furiously scrubbing the blood away.
