A/N: I'm so sorry it took me so long to finish this chapter...yes, I have been procrastinating, but I've also had a ton of homework so it's not entirely my fault, haha. Anyways, have fun reading this chapter...it's kind of short, sorry about that. I'll try to make the next one longer.


"Bella...please don't leave..." there was sadness in the angel's voice. What little consciousness I had regained was slipping away again. The light...so bright, I tried moving towards it. "Bella! BELLA! Please! Wake up!" The angel was pulling me back. No...the light...I want to go into the light... "Bella, please, I love you...please, wake up." The angel was shaking me. The light was getting further and further away. No...

-------

I woke in a hospital bed. The angel that had so insistantly kept me from the light was staring at me. "Ed...ward?"

"Bella...Bella!" A worried smile broke across his face. "Thank god you woke up. I thought..."

"What are you doing here." My voice sounded abrupt, angry. I have every right to be angry with him.

"Bella...I never left you...I was always watching you. I mean, I tried to leave, but I couldn't, I came back. I watched you, made sure you were ok." Edward looked down. "And I let this happen to you...I didn't get there quickly enough...I was hunting...and..."

"Why didn't you let me know...that you never left."

"Bella! Do you have any idea how much it hurt when I saw you with Jacob?! Do you realize what it looked like when I saw you with him and you weren't wearing a shirt?" He sighed, "I know I should've let you explain, but I couldn't...I was angry."

"Edward..." I swallowed, "he came in through my window and he was drunk. Yes, Edward, I do admit that I let him kiss me, but that was about it. I didn't let him go much further than that!" Edward's golden eyes bore into me.

"Why did you let him kiss you? Bella, I'm your boyfriend...doesn't that mean you're not supposed to go around kissing other guys?" His voice sounded angrier.

"Because...it was different from when we kissed...I mean, I was curious." I blushed at the memory, "Edward, I'm sorry. I really am. But you have to know that you leaving me just tore me apart. I mean, I haven't even seen Jacob since, the kiss didn't mean anything!"

"I love you."

"What?"

"I said I love you Bella. I'm sorry I left...but you do understand why I did, right?" His attitude had changed so quickly, I almost smiled.

"Yes, Edward, I understand." Dammit, I just couldn't stay angry at that angelic face...not that I really wanted to stay angry anyways. He smiled.

"Then...do you want me back?" I nodded so hard that my head hurt. Tears began streaming down my eyes and I pulled him towards me so I could hug his familiar freezing body. His arms tightened around my body, holding me like he never wanted to let go. "Bella..." he whispered in my ear, "...do you still love me?" He sounded so insecure.

"Of course I do..." I whispered back. It was so strange, to be in his arms again after I had been apart from him for a month. It felt like a distant memory.

There's one love in a lifetime
Our two hearts of a kind
These three reasons you'll be mine
For when five and six are through
Seven days without you, seven days without you

I found out that I had been in the hospital for a week, unconscious, and Edward had been by my side and held my hand everyday. He talked to me every day and night, never leaving me. It seemed so soap-opera like that I knew it was something only Edward would do.Then something triggered in the back of my brain. "Edward! What happened to Mike? Is he alright? Is he..." Edward's eyes closed and a sigh escaped his lips.

"Bella...he...didn't make it." My heart stopped. This was a joke. Joyful, happy-go-lucky Mike...he couldn't be...I broke out in sobs. Edward held me and stroked my hair. My face buried into his chest and I cried for what seemed like hours. This is my fault...I tried not to blame myself, but something in my head just kept nagging me, trying to convince me it was my fault. Crying seemed like the only option, so that's what I did.

For the next couple of days that I was in the hospital, I cried and blamed myself. Why was it that I was the reason Mike had gotten so angry, why was it that we had to go home earlier than he had planned, why was it I who had only escaped the crash with only a concussion and a couple of gashes while Mike had not gotten off so easily. Those questions burned in my head, and I kept wondering if God had made some sort of mistake - maybe I was supposed die too, but Edward had held me back. I looked up at that moment to see him and his worried expression, his hand so tightly holding onto mine, in exact detail as the past few sorrowful days. He had always been there. He really was an angel
