She'd believed the lie.
How many times had he told her he loved her? How many ways had he explained what she meant to him? She was the only thing that mattered in his existence.
Yet, she'd believed the lie.
His heart had long stopped beating, but now it was ripped out and raw. He had never hurt so much. It was excruciating.
A tiny part of him wished he hadn't lied; wished he hadn't told her that blasphemy. But he couldn't let himself regret. He couldn't show remorse. The lie kept her safe.
He lied because he loved her.

Author's Notes: Happy Vampires... ;)
He wasn't sorry. He thought he'd be, but there was nothing damning about what they'd done.
He'd fought her. She'd threatened to get Carlisle. She'd even agreed to marry him, if that was all he'd wanted, yet, he'd been afraid. Unsure of her heart.
But once he'd finally given in to her, softly slowing her pulse holding her tightly in an embrace, for a moment he could hear her thoughts.
He knew that she would still be his Bella.
Without remorse, without pain, without regret. They would be together forever. It was the only way they could both see heaven.
