I only had five days left with Edward before he went away. I could tell that Edward was trying his best to ignore it, like if we didn't talk about it, it just wouldn't happen. I could still tell he was upset though. I know he didn't exactly want to leave, but it was what he had to do.

Since I hadn't missed any days at school yet this semester, I stayed home from school Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday so I could spend more time with Edward before he left. I decided not to tell him though and just show up at the house to surprise him.

I walked up and rang the doorbell at the Cullen household. Esme opened the door and smiled, "Hello, Bella," she said, "Shouldn't you be in school?"

I smiled, "I took the day off," I said, "I wanted to spend more time with Edward before he has to leave."

She gave me and sad, understanding, smile. Then stepped to the side to let me in. "He's not home right now, but you're more than welcome to wait in his room for him," she said.

"Thanks," I said before heading up to Edward's room.

I got up to Edward's room and started walking around for a couple minutes looking at picture he had around the room. Then I saw his perfectly made bed and couldn't help but go lay in it. I curled up in his pillow and breathed in his scent, there's no way I'm going to be able to live a whole 2 months without this.

Then I heard the front door open downstairs and someone run up the stairs. Then Edward's bedroom door flew open minutes later. I looked at the door and saw Edward standing there with a huge smile on his face. I smiled back. "Surprise," I said.

He crawled over to me and curled up beside me. "This is the best surprise ever," he said.

I laughed. "I'm glad you like it," I said.

He kissed my head and pulled me closer. We laid there silently for a couple minutes. Then Edward pulled back and looked me in the eye. "Bella," he said, "I know it might be too soon, but I love you so much. I know you might not feel the same way, but I want you to know that I'm so in love with you. The next couple of months are going to be so hand without you, baby."

I felt tears fall down my face and I crashed my lips against his, "I love you too, Edward," I said, "I'm going to miss you so much…"

He reached out and wiped my tears away. "It's okay, love," he said, "Please don't cry. We'll write to each other and I'll call you and we'll chat on webcam as much as I can. I promise."

"It's going to be the longest two months ever," I whispered.

"I know…" he said, "It'll be over before you know it and we'll be back he in my bed holding each other."

Then Edward got up and walked over to his dresser. I frowned. "Where are you going?" I asked.

He chuckled, "I want to give you something," he said.

I sighed, "Of course you do," I said.

He laughed. "Don't sound too excited now," he said.

"You know how I feel about you buying me things," I said.

He walked back to me and smiled. "I didn't spend a dime," he said.

"How about a penny?" I asked.

"No, smartass," he laughed, "I didn't spend anything."

I smiled, "Okay," I said.

He sat down on the bed beside me then he reached out and slipped something around my neck. I looked down and saw a set of dog tags around my neck. I lifted them up and read it.

Edward Cullen
Esme Cullen

"Now you'll know that no matter how far I am I'm always right here with you," he said.

"Thank you," I whispered.

He pulled me into his lap and wrapped his arms around me and I looked at Edward's dog tags around my neck. "I thought you needed to wear these when you left?" I said.

"I got ones," he said.

"Oh," I said, "Why does it say Esme?"

"She's my next in kin," he said, "Well, she was." I felt him move and pull the new set of dog tags out of his shirt.

Edward Cullen
Isabella Swan

I smiled and turned to kiss him.

….

The next couple of days went by in a blur and Edward was leaving before I knew it. I drove him down to the bus with Esme, Alice, and Emmett. We were all quiet during the drive, no one wanting to talk much.

When we got there Edward started saying his goodbyes to everyone and I tried my best to keep my tears back. I almost lost it when Esme started crying though. "Don't cry, Mom…" Edward whispered. Emmett had to pull his mom off of Edward and Alice walked her to the car.

Then Emmett hugged Edward. "Be careful, man," he said.

"Always am," Edward said. I saw Edward's eyes go to me. "Look after her."

Emmett smiled. "Always do," he said.

Then Edward turned to me and pulled me close, hugging me tightly against his chest. "I love you," I said into his shirt.

"I love you too, Bella," he said softly, "I love you so much."

He pulled away to reach into his pocket, pulling out a letter. "I wrote the first letter," he said.

I felt the tears I was holding back for so long begin to fall. He wiped the tears, "Please don't cry," he said and I heard his voice cry a little as he tried not to cry too.

"I don't want you to leave," I said.

"Baby girl, you know I'd stay if I could," he said, "I'll be back as soon as I can, I promise." Then he leaned down and gave me a long, passionate, kiss.

"I need to go now," he whispered, "I love you."

"I love you too," I said. Then I watched him get on the bus and leave. As soon as the bus was out of sight I fell on my knees on the road and cried uncontrollably.

I felt arms go around me and help me up. "Its okay, Bells," Emmett said. He hugged me close to him. "Come on, Bella," he said, "Let's go home."

I curled up in the back seat of the car next to Alice. "Do you want me to stay with you tonight?" Alice asked when we got to my house.

I shook my head. "I wanna be by myself," I said softly.

She nodded. "If you need me and one of just call," she said, "Okay?"

I nodded and went inside. "Hey, Bells," my dad said, "Want something to eat?"

"No thanks," I said going to my room.

I curled up under my blanket and opened the letter from Edward.

Isabella,

I've had to leave to go overseas many times, but out of all the times, this would have to be the hardest. I hate having to leave you, my love. I just want to be able to hold you and kiss you, and tell you I love you.

I don't want you to be upset that I'm there. I'll be back before you know it. Write me every day and it'll be like I'm there with you. Tell me EVERYTHING! I want to know all about what's going on there. I want to know all about what's going on with YOU.

I'm counting down the days until I can see you again, beautiful. I love you so much! Just remember that, no matter what, I love you. When I came back from all this I'm marrying you, Bella. I know I shouldn't tell you that in a latter, but I want you to know that that's how much I love you. This isn't me proposing or anything (I'm going to give you the proper one deserve :) ).

I miss you already,
I hope you write soon.

I love you, baby girl.

Love,
Your Edward.
