(A/N- hi guys! Thanks for all the support with this fiction, you're all amazing. How do you think I should have Bella forgive him? How should I bring the Cullen's back in? Leave a review! Sorry this is so short, but I have homework, and I also to update.)
I slept better than I had in years with Elijah holding me. I know I shouldn't have started this thing with him, but he was my mate. I had loved him for 300 plus years, and those feelings don't just go away.
I still don't know how he fell for Katherine, or how she manipulated him, which made me think he never loved me. I just don't know. I want my life to be less messed up. Doesn't everyone?
When I woke up, Elijah was sleeping soundly next to me. I stood up and walked to the bathroom for a shower. I started the water and got in, right away reaching for my new shampoo. I smelled it, and was hit by a wonderful, non-chemical smell.
I shampooed and conditioned my hair, and then began washing my body. I had only washed my arms when Elijah stepped in the shower with me.
"Good morning, beautiful." He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my neck.
"Hello," I said, turning in his arms and kissing his neck.
"I love you. I'm sorry."
"I'm not forgiving you. If that's what you expect, you can leave.
"It's not what I expect. However, I'm going to apologize to you for the rest of my life. The biggest mistake I've ever made was ever taking a second glance at Katherine. So again, I'm sorry."
