EPOV

I carried Bella to hear bed and gently set her down. Even though I had no right to, I laid beside her and wrapped my arms around her. I didn't know that she was going to faint. If I had, then I wouldn't have said anything at all. I would have just watched her sleep like I did when we first met. I hope I didn't startle her that bad. Most of all, though, I hope that she will take me back. I'll stop at nothing to have her love. If she does tell me to go away, then I will. Oh, I'll still be in Forks. I know now that I can never leave her. But, I will keep my distance. I'll do anything to make her happy.

I was broken out of my musings with the sounds of Bella's breathing becoming irregular. She was waking up. This is it.

BPOV

I was slowly regaining consciousness. Thank god. I hate fainting. It makes a girl look weak and defenseless. I can't stand that. As I was coming back to the real world I remembered why I lost all consciousness in the first place. Edward. He really was here. I can't believe it.

All right Bella. Just open your eyes and face him. My eyelids started to flutter open and I was slowly becoming aware of my surroundings. I was on my bed with two cold arms wrapped around my waist. I tried to make out his face in the dark, but I just couldn't. Stupid weak human eyes. I heard Edward chuckle and it almost made me smile, but something was holding me back.

The two arms disappeared and I almost panicked. I would have panicked if my bedside lamp hadn't been turned on. Again, I looked at Edward. Now I could fully see him. He was still as handsome as ever, but he wore a troubled look. Like he was upset or afraid. Why would he feel like that?

"Bella," Edward whispered softly. My heart melted right then and there when I heard his voice.

"Hello, Edward," I said politely. I need to be distant. That way when he leaves me again I won't be so hurt because I'll have expected it.

Edward's face crumpled at my polite, yet distant tone.

"We need to talk," he said. I nodded my head.

He took a deep breath (even though he didn't need it) and started to talk.

"Bella, first let me say that I received your note and its contents broke my already dead heart." I looked at him with a shocked expression. How did my letter hurt him? I was about to ask, but he held up his hand. "Please, let me finish. It broke my heart because you were risking you life by going down to La Push. When I specifically told you not to do anything reckless. Riding on motor cycles? Hanging out with young werewolves? Picking fights with murderers? Bella do you know how scared I was when I heard you did all of that in the matter of six months? If you had died, then my whole world would have been shattered. I don't want to lose you because I love you." My eyes grew wide at that last statement.

"Another thing that broke my heart was the fact that you honestly believed that I didn't love you anymore. Bella that will never happen. I know that I left you. I know that I hurt you, but Bella I did it to protect you. I didn't want to risk you getting hurt again, so I broke it off. Those months when I was away from you hurt me so deeply. There wasn't a day that passed by that I didn't think about you. Then I got a dreaded phone call from Rosalie. She said that you had jumped off a cliff and died. So, when I called I was hoping it was all a big mistake. Unfortunately, you did go cliff diving and you were planning to do it again. You could have gotten killed Bella! Please, never ever do anything like what you've done in the past months again." He looked at me expectantly.

I took a deep breath. "Are you done now?" I asked him in the same polite tone. He nodded. "All right then. If you're done with your speech, I suppose you'll want to take your leave now." Edward looked at me in disbelief.

"Bella, didn't you hear anything that I've just said? I love you and I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying here with you. Where I belong. That is, if you'll take me back. I will beg if you want me to. Just please take me back."

I just looked at him, speechless.

What am I going to do?

Tell me what ya think. Sorry it's short. Don't worry. Edward and Bella will get together soon!!
