A/N- THANK YOU ALL SOOOOOOO MUCH! I don't know exactly what happened, but all the sudden my hits went through the roof. I have over 1,500 hits and 18 reviews. That is wonderful, after all I thought nobody would really like this. I can't thank you guys enough. The only thing I can think to do is write like crazy, so, 5 hours I posted the last chapter, here am writing another. It will be short, but I really want to show how appreciative I am. Enjoy!

Disclaimer- I don't own Twilight. Only many fan related items.

Chapter 8- Realizations

It took a little while for what he said to sink in, but once it did, I felt terrible.

"Edward, you need to go talk to her about this. You shouldn't be here talking to me. To be quite honest, I don't know why you're telling me this. I'm just the person that helped you find the ring that broke you up with the person you were going to marry," I looked down at the table, I was so ashamed.

"Bella, look at me," when I didn't, he gentle pushed my chin upward. "I wanted to thank you. Without you, I could have married her and god knows what would have happened then. Even though you didn't mean to, you helped me realize something," he took a deep breath. "Tanya was the first girl I ever loved. I thought that that meant I should marry her. You helped me realize that there are different levels of love, and that Tanya is too different for me. Opposites attract, but not when it means they are so opposite that you can't agree on anything."

"Edward, all she wanted was a ring that was a bit flashier. That is no reason to break up with her. If I had kept my mouth shut and kept things to myself, you would be happy with her," a small tear slid down my cheek and I quickly wiped it away.

"But I'm happy without her, Bella! You don't know the exhilaration I felt when I cut things off from her. Don't get me wrong, I felt a little bad, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized I wanted something different. I didn't want to try to have a nice conversation and it ending in an argument," I could tell he was pleading for me to understand.

"Arguments are OK, Edward. You can work those out."

"Not when all the times I tried to work it out ended in fights, too. (A/N- I don't mean physical fights, we all know Edward would never do that) You see, that's when you come in. I don't have many friends that are girls and Tanya was my first girlfriend, so I thought it was normal to argue all the time. But when I talked to you, I noticed you weren't arguing, you weren't yelling. It was a nice change."

"So I helped you realize that girls can be nice," I remarked with a bit of sarcasm.

He grinned and crooked smile, but soon got a serious look on his face. "No, Bella. You showed me I could have better. I could have you."

A/N- Again, sorry about the shortness, but it's 1 in the morning here and I'm kinda tired. I'll update again soon and it will be longer, I promise.

Review please. I love to hear what you have to say.
