I'm sorry it took so long to get this up..I had finals last week and my other story is nearing completion so its been a little time consuming..I'm sorry this is short too..I promise the next one will be longer :)

Rose and Emmett are around, they just didn't come back for a visit...hopefully after this you won't think Carly is demanding too much from Edward...

CPOV

I woke up Saturday morning in a bad mood. I got dressed and ate some breakfast. After I finished eating I dropped the empty liquor bottles into the recycling bin and wiped off the counters. It seemed like Rachel drank from the time she crawled out of bed and up until she crawled back into it. What would my dad say if he knew?

I sighed, realizing it didn't really matter what he thought. He couldn't do anything about it anymore. After I straightened up the kitchen I glanced at the clock and grabbed my keys. Ten o'clock was okay for a social call right?

I drove north out of town and quickly located the turn off for the Cullen's. When I parked an eerie silence settled over the car. I glanced at the house wondering if they were still asleep. Screw it, I thought and climbed the stairs. I knocked and stepped back.

Soft footsteps hurried toward the door and I breathed a sigh of relief when Edward's mother opened the door.

"Carly," she said, her delicate eyebrows arched in surprise.

"Good morning Mrs. Cullen. Is Edward home?"

She stepped aside and motioned me inside. "Not yet, but please feel free to come in and wait for him. he should be back soon."

"Thank you," I murmured and followed her into the living room. We sat on either side of the couch in silence.

"So," she finally spoke. "You are our Bella's daughter?"

I nodded. it felt strange to hear her address my mom that way.

"I'm very sorry to hear about her illness. I wish there was something that could have been done."

I nodded and bit my lip trying to fight back the tears. She must have heard something; Esme's expression changed. "I will give you a piece of advice about my youngest son. Bella was the love of his life, forty years ago. He carried a torch for her for a long time but I think all that changed when he met you he just hasn't figure out how to let go yet."

She smiled and rose from the couch. The front door opened and Edward entered followed by a tall, blonde vampire.

"Carly! What are you doing here?"

I stood and picked nervously at my fingernails. "I needed to talk t you," I said in a voice that betrayed none of the tumultuous emotions I felt. Edward nodded and motioned for me to follow him.

"It was good to see you Carly," Esme murmured as she headed toward the back of the house. Edward exited the front door. I followed and shut it behind me.

"So you need to talk to me?"

I nodded.

"About what?" he implored.

"Last night," I replied meekly and Edward groaned. "Look I know you're still carrying a torch or whatever for my mom. Not that I understand why but seriously Edward? It's past time to let it go." I ran my hands nervously through my hair and looked at him.

Edward fidgeted looking everywhere but at me. "Why is this such an issue with you?"

I was completely taken aback. Why did it matter to me? "Because I have this strange feeling about you. I don't know what the hell it is or why but I feel like I'm being pulled toward you. I miss you when you're not around feel content when you are. I don't know what it is."

Edward gaped at me.

"What?"

He shook his head. "You need to tell Emily right away."

"Why?" I demanded.

"I don't know much about it, but it sounds like your imprint on me." He looked astonished.

"And that's a bad thing why?"

Apparently there was some connection I was failing to see.

"It means you're changing. Pretty soon you'll be able to phase-,"

"Into a giant dog?" I screeched. I did not what that to happen. I'd rather die than have to be some freaky mutant dog. Hell I'd rather be a vampire.

Edward nodded. "This is all my fault," he muttered. "I never should have come here. maybe you'll be okay if I leave."

This statement caused me actual pain. "Please don't you leave me too," I begged in a strangled whisper.

Edward looked at me, pity etched into every line of his angel's face. He quickly crossed the distance between up and swept me into his arms. "Oh Carly it will change you if I stay. no matter how much I want to stay, I can't."

I sobbed into his chest as he smoothed my hair. "So make me like you then."

"I will not condemn you to my fate just to save you're from you own."

I pushed him away. "That's what you told my mom, I bet and you see how well that worked. She DIED!" I screamed at him and ran for my car.

EPOV

I watched Carly run to her car and speed toward the highway. Why did these damn women think being a vampire was so easy? that being with me made it worthwhile? I sighed and ran my hands thru my hair. Alice was waiting for me inside.

"Not now Alice," I said holding up a hand to stop her tirade.

"Edward it's important," she protested.

"Alice please," I sighed and headed up the stairs.

"It's about Carly," she called after me. I stopped and turned to face her.

"What about her?"

"You save her. Just before it happens you save her," Alice said cryptically.

"And will you please tell her how you feel. If I have to suffer through another vision of you trying to decide whether or not to tell her I'm either going to gouge my eyes out or rip your head off." She smiled and waltzed away.

It wasn't that easy no matter how strongly I felt about her.

And to say I felt strongly for her would be an understatement. If I had to compare my feelings for Bella to my feelings for Carly, my feelings for Bella were like puppy love compared to what I felt for Carly.

It was the darkest kind of desire. Bella's blood might have sung to me, but Carly's howled and screamed at me with fiery passion. It was as if she was the one I had been waiting all these years for. It made me feel guilty, like the love I felt for Bella didn't matter; like I had used Bella to create this perfect match for me.

I growled.

It didn't matter how I felt about Carly; it was more complicated than just feelings. I knew what would happen to Carly if I stayed and she stayed a human, she would change. If I changed her the treaty would be broken and we would be hunted. And last who was I to stand in the way of destiny. If she was destined to be a werewolf could I stand in the way of that?

"Edward this is stupid. You've been given a second chance to fix what you did wrong the first time. Please don't make the same mistake twice."

"Esme I can't do that to her. I can't sentence her to this." I motioned to myself, my immortality.

"Edward you love her. Stop acting like a child and go with it. You're so damn self-loathing and you let it ruin any one and anything you touch. Don't let it ruin this," Alice pleaded.

I shook my head. "I'm going back to Alaska. I'm done talking about it." I tossed one final book into my bag and zipped it then headed toward the garage.

"This is going to kill Carly," Alice called after me.

CPOV

I awoke with a start. It was late, rain pounded my window but that wasn't what woke me. There was a sharp, throbbing pain in my heart. It felt, quite literally, like it was being ripped in half. I gasped for air and clutched my chest.

Oh my god, oh my god. I wheezed and stumbled out of bed. I can't breath, oh my god, I cant breath. I staggered to the window; the floor dipped and rose, my head spun from the lack of oxygen.

Someone help me, I screamed only no sound came out. I reached the window and fumbled with the locks. My eyes teared as I gasped and wheezed. The window shimmered, and then everything went black.

Reviews are better than killer cliffies ;)
