A/N: I never know I'm going to end the story until the last chapter comes out of nowhere it's like "Hello Stephanie, I'm the last chapter for this story." So I had a choice with this story, I could write it the way that y'all would like it or I could write it the way I wanted to. I chose to write it the way I wanted to. In the end, it's my story, not yours. My name is on this story and I have the right as the author to finish it the way I want. Personally, I think it gives the story the unique edge it always had. Y'all might have other ideas.

The Last Man on Earth

I hopped out of the driver seat and fell to the damp ground. Robert, the guy that drove me here, handed me my bag. I smiled at him in appreciation. I had never hitched hiked before, so I didn't know if I was supposed to tip him or not. I decided against it.

"Do you want something to eat?" He nodded his head towards the diner attached to the gas station.

"No thank you," I shook my head. "I'll just get something from the vending machine at the bus station." I smiled at him before walking to, what I assumed, would be the way to bus station.

"It was nice meeting you Ms. Cullen." He yelled at me.

"Thank you for the ride," I yelled back at him as I waved my hand in the air. He tipped his hat and started walking to the gas station. I turned around and reached into my purse for the iPod I had stuffed in there earlier.

I put it on shuffle as I trudge along the side of the road. It was still cold outside and the air was moist from the rain that was about to join me in my trip to the bus station. I threw the hood to my jacket over my head and put my hands under my arms for warmth. The song in my earphones blasted the lyrics into my eardrums. A mile east Robert had said. That shouldn't take me too long.

"The world's on fire," My song played in my ears. "So wrap me in your napalm blanket."

In about two days I was going to be home with Renee again where I would get to spend six months away from vampires, screaming fans (for the most part), and the music business all together. I had it all planned out. We would spend my last six months with her doing everything that we have ever joked about. I might even take sky diving lessons with her.

I stopped in walking and pulled my iPod out of my purse. I was getting tired of the song that was playing. I glanced at the title and was about to press the next button when something hard and heavy hit me. I screamed in shock and closed my eyes as I waited for my body to stop flying and I could hit the damp grass. Instead I continued to fly and somewhere between all of this, I flipped over so I was lying something that wasn't grass.

I opened my eyes immediately to see a snarling Edward under me. My eyes widened and I pushed at his chest to get away but he flipped me over before I could get off of him. His knees straddled my waist and his hands held my shoulder to the grass. My breath came out in short gasps as I swallowed the growing lumps in my throat. I was shaking with fear as I waited for him to do whatever he had planned.

"Why did you leave?" Edward growled at me. I tried to pull my shoulders off of the ground but Edward's hands wouldn't let me move them. I growled in frustration as the tears started to surface.

"Let me go Edward." I screamed at him. I balled my fists up and started pound on his chest, even though we both knew that it would have no success.

"Why did you leave me?" Edward reworded his question. "I'm trying to protect you Bella!"

"I want to go home!" I screamed at him. I stopped pounding on his chest and wrapped my hands tightly around his shoulder so I could push him off of me. It was like pushing on a brick wall. He didn't budge. "I want to go home Edward!" I screamed at him again. "Just let me go home." My voice cracked.

"Not until you tell me why you want to leave me so badly." He couldn't hide the pain in his voice.

I let out a sob and swallowed the other. "I want to see my mom," I tried to say it louder but it was difficult to talk around the growing lump in my throat. "I want to go home."

Edward loosened his grip on my shoulders but didn't get off of me. "They'll kill you Bella." His voice was soft. It was the one of the few times that Edward had said my name. It was scary.

"Why do you think I want to go home so badly?" I screamed at him. "I want to say goodbye to my mom, I want to spend time with my dad! I want to go home and for once in my live my life as a normal person!"

"You can't let them kill you Bella." He screamed at me.

"Why not?" I screamed back at him.

"Because I love you!" Edward's face was serious as he told me this.

My body tensed and my eyes widened. "Why do you love me?" I asked.

"I don't know," Edward's voice shook.

"You're lying." I accused him.

"Because I want to drink your blood," He admitted. "And I think that if I fall in love with you, it'll be easier for me not to."

"And how is that working out for you?" My voice was sharp. I didn't patience today, especially for some delusional vampire that was trying to fall in love with me so he wouldn't drink my blood.

"You're alive aren't you?" Edward smiled at me.

"Good point." I agreed.

"Please Bella," Edward's face was serious.

"I can't." I shook my head. "I need to see my mom. I'm going to Florida."

Edward's face dropped and he pulled himself off of me. I didn't move in case he decided that he wasn't done attacking me. Edward started to pace in the grass, his hands grabbing onto his hair. I closed my eyes and tried not to cry as I watch him struggle with himself.

"It's suicide." He finally yelled at me. "You're committing suicide."

"And willing becoming a vampire isn't suicide?" I asked opening my eyes and raising an eyebrow. I agreed with the Catholic Church. If you willing become a vampire than you are committing suicide and your soul will be eternally damned.

"Why don't you want to become a vampire?" Edward fell in front of me. "Why are you going to let them kill you?"

"Because I don't want to be a monster," I finally spat at him. "I don't want to kill innocent humans for my twisted diet." I growled at him.

"There's alternatives." Edward sounded optimistic. "We can survive on animal blood."

"Have you ever killed a human before," I didn't sound optimistic. I tried to sound monotone but it sounded agitated and aggressive. Edward's face dropped. He had just answered my question. "Even the great Carlisle has killed a human before."

"He waited until –"

"He stilled killed them." I interrupted. Edward didn't say anything. "Exactly."

"Where's the nearest bus station?" Edward asked pulling himself off his knees. I followed his lead and pulled my back away from the damp grass.

"About a mile east," I told him as I looked around the small field for my iPod.

"You're going south."

"Oh." I blushed.

--

"So this is where all the prostitutes go." I shot a grin at Edward, he didn't smile back. We had spent the last two days waiting in bus stations for busses and traveling around in silence. Neither of us felt the need to say anything, enough had been said in the field. We had just arrived in Florida and the only place that was open was this sleazy pay by the hour motel where married men bring their mistresses for the night. "I'm so glad we don't have a black light," I continued to joke with Edward as I carefully walked across the floor.

"Be careful where you walk." Edward ordered. I turned towards him and frowned. "You might pick up an STD." He smiled at me.

I laughed but followed his advice. I stayed on my toes and anything that looked suspicious was avoided. I finally found the safest place (surprisingly) was on the bed. I sat in the middle of the mattress and grabbed the remote. I was tempted to go through their porn selection and see if I could make Edward feel uncomfortable again but I decided not to. Instead I settled for cartoons.

"What are we watching?" Edward asked joining me on the bed.

"Porn," I moved my finger to menu button but Edward grabbed the remote out of my hand. "Hey!" I screamed in protest.

Edward ignored my outcry and went to go lean against the headboard of the bed, the remote still in his hand. I rolled my eyes but joined him. I crossed my arms and stretched my legs out in front of him so I was in the same position as Edward. He looked straight ahead but the corner of his lips was twitching.

"So it's our last night together." I tried to sound monotone. Edward's lips stop twitching. "Do you want to do it?"

It's not often that you get to shock a vampire and this was one of the few moments that I had accomplished this impossible act. Edward turned towards me, slowly. His eyes were wide and his mouth was slightly ajar. I bit my lip as I waited anxiously for his answer.

"What did you say?" He asked.

"Do you want to do it?" His expression didn't change. "Do you want to have sex?" I elaborated in case he didn't get the slang for 'doing it.'

"What did you say?" He asked again.

"Edward," I got onto my knees and grabbed his cheek between my hands. "I have six months to live. I don't want to die a virgin."

"Bella," Edward's eyes widened. "I can't have – what if I – you want to what?"

"If you want," I tried to reason with him. "You can just lay there and I'll figure out what to do from there."

"Bella, you're delusional. You don't really want to have…" Edward stopped talking and just nodded his head.

"Sex?" I offered.

Edward continued to nod.

"Edward," I sighed. "I may not love you but I actually like you which is more than I can say about a lot of people. I'm not asking you to make love with me, I'm asking you to have sex with me. I'll even let you roll over and go to sleep when you're done."

"I can't," Edward shook his head.

"Ok don't go to sleep, just lay there and pretend you're sleeping. I'll get the idea."

"What if I accidently, what if I bite you?"

"That's it?" I growled at him. "You're worried about biting me?"

Edward nodded.

"What you do is make sure to finish before you actually kill me, because if you finish after I'm dead you'll be a necrophiliac."I snapped at him.

"Bella," Edward sighed as he pulled himself away from me and off of the bed. "This, this isn't how I envisioned my first time."

"And I totally saw myself losing my virginity in the middle of a sleazy hotel room." I growled at him. I didn't know what frustrated me more, being rejected or trying to convince him to have sex with me.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Edward tried to reason with me again. "I'll put you into hiding. You don't even have to become a vampire."

"Its fine," I lied throwing my hands in the air. "I'm going to bed." I lied down and rolled over onto my side. I didn't want Edward to see me crying.

"Are you crying?" Edward's shocked voice asked. I shook my head no. "Bella," The mattress creaked under Edward's weight. "I didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

I wiped away my tears before turning around to look at him. He was frowning at me. "I shouldn't have asked." I smiled sadly. "You were right, I'm delusional." I wiped away more tears. "I just don't want to die knowing that the one chance I had of doing the most beautiful act that people make fun of was ruined because I was too scared to ask."

"Do you want the lights to be on or off?" Edward sighed.

"Are you serious?" I asked, suddenly getting a little sick to my stomach. It was more nerves than getting sick at the thought of having sex with Edward. Edward nodded. "Would it matter either way?" I smiled at him.

"Not to me, but it might to you." Edward wiped away a tear that was crawling down my cheek.

"Off," I decided.

"You can't become a vampire but you can have sex with one." Edward grimaced.

"I'm not having sex with a vampire," I shook my head. "I'm having sex with Edward. The sweetest and most generous man I know." It helped not think of Edward as a vampire but as a human that just liked to drink blood.

Edward smiled at me before crawling back off the bed to turn off the lights.

--

"Is that everything?" I asked as I handed Bella her bag.

"I think so," Bella looked around the room. A loud honk came from outside the motel room. "That's Renee." She glanced at the door.

"You should get going," I glanced at the door to.

"Thank you so much Edward." She smiled at me. "For helping me get to Florida, for dealing with my craziness, and for last night."

"It was my pleasure." I smiled at her.

Her smile faded as she took a step forward and wrapped her hands around my waist. I hugged her back and kissed the top of her head. She buried her cheek into my chest and tightened her grip around me. If I could have cried, I would have.

Another loud honk came from outside. "I have to get going." Bella pulled away. "You're coming to my concert right?" She bit her bottom lip.

"The one in six months?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. She nodded. "Of course." I agreed.

"Alright," Bella looked around the hotel room. "I'm going. You better come and visit me after the show," She smiled at me one last time before walking out of the hotel room, and my life, forever.

I didn't go Bella's show, no one did. The day before the show, Bella Swan was found dead in her hotel room. The policed had concluded suicide. She had over dosed on pain medication and alcohol. There were no bite marks on her body and her blood was clean for vampire venom. Her CD went platinum within the week it was released. It was the highest selling album in recorded history. I didn't buy it.

End.

A/N: So I like it but then I don't. It's exactly how I envisioned it. I just wish that it was easier to write. I had the hardest time with this chapter. I don't know why, I guess it was because I knew it was the end of the story. I always have the hardest time with the end of the story, I'm so angry. Anyways, this is it. There's no epilogue, sequel, or rewrite. I'm going to miss this story but I kind of have a story that's going to replace it. I know, I shouldn't have, but when that plot penguin starts doing that stupid dance you have to do something to make it stop. I hope the ending wasn't too sucky (if you cried, I'll give you a dollar!) But anyways, thank you for reading and I hoped you enjoyed it.
