A/N: Be afraid… be very afraid! This is the second to last chapter! Weep! Cry! Sob! Okay maybe it's not that dramatic… maybe it is though
Edwards POV
(Oh by the way I don't own twilight and I'm okay with that… I am upset that I don't own Edward though… Mom wouldn't get him for my birthday… JK he deserves Bella, not some psychotic freak!)
But life moves on.
You may sit in your room
And wonder what you did wrong,
But it won't change the past.
Or, you can get up
And stop living in the past
But in the here and now.
I was running through a field, fast and wild. I couldn't control my senses, the smells overtook my being. So delicious, so warm, I needed the blood and I needed it now! Suddenly I stopped. I saw a scene playing out before my eyes. Alice was having a vision.
Bella was home, Rosalie had just left her there not even checking to see if she could get into the house. Bella looked scared and confused a helpless, hopeless girl in the horrible gray forest…alone. She walked up to the house reluctantly and put her hand on the door it opened and she walked right in and stared all around the house.
The vision was strange and slightly pointless, but it still worried me. Why was Alice having a vision about Bella's homecoming? I decided not to take a chance; I had to go make sure she was okay.
Jakes POV:
And life moves on.
Love is a tricky thing
and a wild thing but it
can be tamed when true love
comes along.
True love will come,
but it won't if you don't try
and find it.
"Bella! Bella, quiet! It's me Jake!" That would really help. If she didn't remember the bloodsucker she wouldn't remember me.
"Who are you?" She whimpered. I hadn't expected to scare her that much.
"I'm your best friend…" Her features softened and I could see her body relax a little. Her heart however was beating a mile a minute.
"Jacob Black?" She said cautiously.
Is she remembering? She had to be! How else would she remember my name?
"Dad talks a lot about you." She whispered giving me a disappointed look. "I wish I did know your name, but I can't find it on my own." She looked at her feet, ashamed of herself.
"Do you want to go for a walk?" I tried smiling. "We could talk about it; see if you can remember anything."
"Sure." Her voice was quiet and unsure.
I closed the door and took her small pale hand in mine. I wanted more than anything for her to remember; to remember our time together (and if she didn't remember her time with leech boy, well that would be great too! I'm all for selective amnesia as long as it works in my favor.)
"So… you don't remember anything?" That was a stupid question.
"Ummm… well, I get these weird vision things. Like a movie in front of my eyes, except it's skipping; I can only see pieces and sometimes I feel things when people are around me." She looked up into my eyes, "Like when I saw you… I felt this strange torn feeling… like I wasn't allowed to see you. It was as if in some way I felt that we should be as far away form each other as possible and in another way I wanted you to stay forever."
I have to admit the first part of her little speech hurt, 'like we should be as far away from each other as possible.' I wanted to be with her so badly! I wanted her to love me, to need me just as much as she loved and needed him.
Edward's POV:
The car wouldn't go fast enough. I didn't know why I was in such a hurry, but it felt as if I were racing for her life. What was wrong? That was when it hit me: Werewolf.
(A/n: I know this POV is short, but it's for dramatic effect… SO PLAY ALONG!!!!)
Bella's POV:
Time moves on,
And it will move on without you.
So get up and join it,
For time passes quickly.
He was so tall, almost tree like. His presence frightened me almost as much as Rosalie's did. I couldn't help wondering what this underlying problem could be; he was my best friend, Charlie had told me that much.
He blended well with the forest colors even though there was no sign of brown in the soaking forest, his copper skin just fit. He was handsome- maybe not as beautiful as Edward, but handsome none the less. I wondered how Edward felt about the whole relationship.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" He whispered to me; I nodded slowly.
I had an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach, like I was walking toward my own execution or something equally foul. The greenery was thick and hideously familiar.
"Bella what are you thinking?" A flash of gold eyes and Edward's frustrated scowl.
"Bella!" Another voice cried out…Edward.
I turned to look into his stern face and suddenly the world started to crumble around me. The edge of the forest, his harsh words, the day he said he didn't want me. Tears started streaming down my face in steady streams. His cold hard eyes, staring deeply into mine just before he left me. I was standing in the direct spot where I had lost him.
I realized I was on the ground sobbing, but the mud didn't faze me. I remembered this. The cold uncaring earth wrapped harshly around my body as I lay half dead on that awful day. I could see Edward rushing to me through the blur of tears.
"Bella?" He said anxiously, "Bella did he hurt you?"
I tried to speak, but I was shaking so badly, all that would come out was a broken mantra, "Please don't leave me. Plee..ease" I cried.
He looked horrified. "Bella, sweetheart I will never leave you." He said gently, cradling me closer to his chest. "I promise."
My body stilled and I felt myself relax. I was in his arms and I remembered who I was.
I looked up into his topaz eyes, "I think I remember something." He looked at me with question in his eyes, "I love you."
His crooked smile took my breath away, " I love you too."
Instantly all was clear, I was in love with the most wonderful man; alive or dead.
Jake's POV:
Bella looked so happy in his arms and surprisingly, I found that she looked so safe. I don't trust vampires, especially when it comes to things I love, but Edward Cullen became an exception the moment she said the words "I remember."
A/N: Hey guys! It has been suggested that I make a sequal, but I'm not sure. I need to know what you think! It will take ten votes to sway me from my original no sequal status! (i.e if you want more vote by REVIEWING!)
