TRUTH

"Bella…" A velvet voice called my name again. I was starting to get sick of it. Every time I would here my name I would open my eyes and something weird would happen. I'm about 90 percent sure I'm already dead. I mean you just don't go back to the past or have a dream about it? Do you?

A whole lot of possibilities came rushing into my mind. What if I had insulted Elizabeth Masen's spirit with what I said about her and her ring? Is she haunting me? Nope. That can't be possible. Then again. I thought vampires and werewolves were just a myth but apparently not. Gah! Alright then. I'm dead. That's my final decision. Yep. I'm definitely dead. Crap. Poor Charlie.

Wait a minute. How in God's name did I die? Last thing I remember was that I had a fight with Edward, went back to Charlie's and cried myself to sleep. Edward. What I did and said to him. I definitely hurt his feelings. I'll never be able to rest in peace. I'll be a wondering soul forever.

"Bella?" The voice called again but this time it sounded more anxious. It got me out of my train of thoughts.

"Please Bella. Please wake up." The voice pleaded. My eyes flickered open.

I was staring up at a ceiling unknown to me. It was painted silver. I think. Then he came into focus. Edward. Why was he holding me? Didn't he hate me because I know I already hate myself for what I did to him. I reached my hand out to touch his face to see if he was real.

"Bella." He smiled with relief as I stroked his cheek with the back of my hand. "Thank God you're finally awake."

I started at him with confusion. How long was I asleep for? And was that fight we had just a dream. If so, what the hell did I eat to make me have a weird dream within a nightmare?

"Edward…" I muttered as he placed me to the ground to stand up and took a few steps back. I took a step towards him but my legs became weak. I was heading straight towards the ground but was saved by Edward. He pulled me into an embrace.

"Hush love. It's alright. Everything is alright. Everything is going to be fine. I'll protect you." He murmured as he buried his face in my hair.

"Edward, what's going on?"

He lifted his head up and let go of our embrace. He cupped my face with his perfect hands and took a large intake of breath. What he was going to tell must have been serious.

"Bella, love. Three days ago when we had our little fight." He began and looked deep into my eyes. My eyes went wide with shock. Edward drops his hands from my face.

"Three days!" I gasped. I was out of it for three whole days! "Wait a minute what fight?"

"I don't wish to repeat it Love. Some very cruel words were said on both our parts."

"You mean it wasn't a dream?" I gasped. "Oh Edward. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it. It was just because of the amount of stress I'm going through with Alice organizing our wedding and also because of…well…"

Edward placed a figure on my lips. "Hush love. You don't need to apologise. I know that you were stressing out but that doesn't excuse what I said to you."

He averted his eyes from mine. I could tell he was upset with himself. I grabbed his hands in mine.

"Don't say that Edward. I provoked you. I deserved everything you said to me."

"Bella… I didn't just say things to you. I did something unforgivable."

"What are you talking about Edward?" I was starting to get freaked out. He didn't usually act like this. Something was defiantly wrong and he wasn't telling me. "Please tell me."

He pulled me into another embrace but this one was much more tense. He curled his fingers in my hair as I pressed my body against his chest.

"You don't remember everything that happened that night, do you?" Its wasn't really a question he already knew what my answer was.

"I remember going back to Charlie's and crying myself to sleep." I looked up and Edward as I spoke. He cringed at my words.

"So not everything." He muttered. "Bella, I know you cried yourself to sleep. I was watching. I waited outside your window, until you fell asleep. Then I went into your room and…"

"And?" I asked. I knew this was difficult for him to say but he was getting to the point of the convocation and I didn't want him to loose focus. I needed to know what happened.

"Bella you have to understand. I love you so much. So much that I don't want to lose you ever. I know it's selfish but I can't be on this Earth without you. You keep my going every slow day of my immortal life. I didn't want to loose you so then I..." He turned away from me and walked to the corner of the unfamiliar room. I reached out my hand towards him.

A sharp pain hit my chest. I screamed in agony and fell to the floor. I looked up at Edward, he hadn't moved but his eyes were full of pain.

"Edward." I gasped as I reached for him with my left hand while my right hand was clutching my chest. He looked away.

"Bella, I'm sorry. I know you will never forgive me for this. I will never forgive myself for this." He raised his voice. It was the loudest I've ever heard him speak. "I'm a selfish monster!"

The pain in my chest began to subside. The pain wasn't as bad as it was in my dream. I pushed myself up off the ground and stared at Edward.

"So it has finished." he coldly said as he looked at me. I walked over towards him. I knew why he was angry at himself. I knew why he was upset. I finally knew why I was in so much pain. I reached out to him and pulled him into a hug.

"It's not your fault. You're not selfish Edward. You are not a monster." I said as I tightened my gripped around him.

"Bella. I'm sorry." He whispered in my ear and he tightened his grip around me.

"It's alright Edward. This was going to happen eventually. We will just have to postpone our marriage and other agreements." I rested against his stone chest. It wasn't as cold as it once was. "I'm glad that it was you who changed me. I'm happy that it was your venom. I'm happy to be a vampire. To spend all eternity by your side."
