DISCLAIMER: SM OWNS ALL BUT THE PLOT
A/N: THIS IS A SAD ONE, BUT A GOOD ONE.
CHAPTER ELEVEN
Spov
Summer was among us and my parents were still pressuring me about moving back home.
"Just come home, we miss you being here." My mother was tired of pleading with me and she threw my dad on me.
"Dad, I like it here."
"No you don't, you like that Cullen boy there." I heard Edward laugh in the shower at my father's statement. My father didn't know that I was at that Cullen boy's house and that the Cullen boy was in fact a vampire and heard every word he said.
"The Cullen boy has nothing to do with it. I like it here; I don't get into trouble every time I blink!"
"I understand where you're coming from, but we want you home. I'll talk to you tomorrow okay and hopefully in person you'll reconsider."
"I don't think that's going to happen, bye dad." I hung up the phone and lay back on the bed with my feet dangling. I looked up when I heard the bathroom door open. Steam seeped out the bathroom and out came Edward with a towel dangerously low on his waist. He was towel drying his hair as he leant against the door frame looking exceptionally handsome starring at me.
He walked over to the bed. "Exceptionally handsome?" he asked.
"Shut up." I said as he walks towards his closet. I cannot believe he has that many clothes; he's like a little girl. I giggled out loud when his head came around the corner.
"I'm not a little girl. Plus this is our closet remember." Edward insisted that I move some of my things into his closet so when I'm gone a part of me would be with him.
He came out of the closet with a tight black v-neck on and a pair of dark wash jeans that he hadn't buttoned up. He walked toward the bed and finished his pants that hung low on his hips. If he stretched his arms I would get a nice view of his chiseled chest.
"Thinking about me are you?" he said as he crawled on the bed pulling me on top of him wrapping his arms around me.
I nodded my head, "I have a present for you."
"Really, what is it?"
"A bag full of my clothes for you to jerk off to when I'm gone" I said and I shook on his chest as he laughed.
There was a knock on the door and Bella's head popped in.
"Sorry, it's just that Esme has been calling you to eat for awhile. So I just thought that I would... I'm just going to leave."
"I'll be down in a second, thank you Bella." She smiled and left closing the door behind her.
"It's your last meal here if you decided to move back home." Edward whispered.
"This is home. Home is where you are." I said getting up and stretching. "Plus, I've deflowered you, now I have to make an honest man outta you!"
He stood up to follow me. "You promise, because I think Stevie Mason Cullen is one hell of a name."
"It does have a ring to it." I laughed as we headed down the stairs.
After I ate Edward walked me out to my truck and started stalling.
"I think you left something upstairs." He said in my ear.
"Nope, I don't think so."
"Please, just stay five more minutes."
"Edward you're driving me to the airport tomorrow morning and I feel guilty for always hogging you from your-
"Our family" he cut me off to correct me.
"Our family, you need mommy time with Esme."
"If you say so" he pouted.
"Kiss me" I asked, and he did.
"I love you, drive safely" he told me.
"I love you too."
When I got home I went into Suz's room and snuggled up with her for the night. All too soon she was waking me up telling me I needed to get ready. I trudged off to my room and threw on some black leggings and one of Edwards sweat shirts I took from our closet, and my uggs. I went downstairs after I brushed my teeth and ate some of a pomegranate. Soon there was a knock on the door and I went to let Edward in.
"Good morning my sweet" he said as he kissed my forehead.
"Morning baby"
"Hello Edward. I see you're here to whisk our girl off to the airport."
"Yes I am." He turned to me, "Are you ready?" I nodded and he grabbed my bags as I hugged Suz.
She waved us off as we drove to the airport. The whole ride Edward held my hand and I put a barrier in my head so he wouldn't hear my worried thoughts about leaving him for two weeks with Bella, his first love from eighty years ago.

She was shutting me out of her mind and it worried me. Soon we were at the airport and she was getting checked in. Once she had her boarding pass we went to the security gates to say our goodbyes.
"What's wrong baby? Why are you shutting me out?" I asked her.
"No reason, I'm just not good at saying goodbye to you."
"This isn't goodbye though right?"
"No, I'm coming back home to you" when she said that I breathed a sigh of relief.
I pulled a simple diamond band out of my pocket and slid it on her ring finger. She gasped and looked down at it with tears in her eyes.
"It's your promise ring to me. I meant to give it to you awhile ago, but-
She cut me off, "I love it, but not as much as I love you."
"I love you too" I said kissing her. "Call me when you land." I said wiping her tears away.
"I love you" she told me again and she went through security turning to look at me before she walked through. She blew me a kiss through her tears and I reached my hand up in an act to catch it. I stood there until I could no longer see her realizing she took my heart with her.
A WEEK AND SIX DAYS LATER
Epov
It had been a long two weeks and Skype just wasn't cutting it anymore. My family had left the other day to hunt and Bella and I were at the house alone.
I walked up to the study and found her there reading a copy of 'Wuthering Heights'.
"Don't you ever get tired of reading that book?" I asked her standing in the doorway.
"You know it's my favorite book Edward."
"For us to be friends we never talk."
"We don't, so let's talk. How have you been?"
I laughed, "I have been great. How's life been back with Alice and Emmett?"
"It has been fabulous! I haven't had this much fun since Jake died. It's feels good to be happy."
"It does." I went to sit next to her on the couch. "Do you miss him?"
"Every day, just as you miss Stevie" she replied.
We sat in a comfortable silence until Bella cleared her throat.
"Was it real? What we had, was it real?"
I grabbed her hand, "It was real. It was very real"
She stared at our hands and slowly laced our fingers. I should've pulled my hand away but I felt a small tingle coming from our skin as we touched.
"Do you feel that?" She whispered.
I nodded still starring at our intertwined fingers, my eyes slowly trailed up her arm to her topaz eyes. I glanced down at her lips, then back at her eyes. She slowly inclined her head to mine and we kissed.

I was worried, but Edward assured me over Skype that I had nothing to worry about. "I'm yours," he told me, "do with me as you please." But this was Bella, Isabella Swan, his first love. I had faith in our love, but I saw the way she looked at him, she wanted him, and he was mine.
It was Saturday and I got back in town early. Edward had texted me that morning, "I miss your face"; I laughed and got in my car on the way to his house. I pulled into the long drive and hopped out of my car. The house was empty so they must have gone hunting.
I walked up the stairs and headed towards Edward's room, but as my hand touched the knob I heard a noise. My heart froze for this wasn't just any noise, it was a moan. I slid down the wall across from the door and heard more moans followed by panting breaths. I made myself focus to hear a male and female voice.
"Yes, Bella right there."
"Edward, I'm so close."
Thump, moan, thump, moan, growl, and then nothing but silence, tears were streaming down my face and a hand shot out to wipe my tears away. I looked into the eyes of Jasper who mouthed, "I'm so sorry." The dam then broke and sobs racked my body, I couldn't control myself.
Jasper picked me up and carried me downstairs, but not before the groans, moans, and thumping's started for round two. In the den the rest of the Cullen's were there and when Alice saw me she flitted to Jasper and took me out of his arms.
"We tried to get back before it happened. I'm so sorry, this is all entire fault." She was sobbing.
They were all voicing their apologies and 'How could he do this?' but I just stood and walked towards the door. As I got to my truck I heard an enormous growl followed by a crash. Esme came out and hoisted me into my truck; I was too dead to move. I saw a light shine ahead of us and looked to see Edward in the doorway fighting to get to me. The last thing I remember is hearing him scream my name begging for me to come back.
I don't remember arriving to my house, I don't remember if Suz was home, I don't even remember how I got in my bed. I just knew I was, and I knew that the window was opening at this very moment. My body was faced towards the wall, and I felt someone slide in between the covers with me. My body was completely still, I was a complete dead weight.
"Stevie..." it was him, and he wrapped his arms around me pulling me to his chest. The chest Bella probably kissed, sucked, nibbled, and collapsed on after her orgasm. That thought gave me the strength to move away.
I heard a sob erupt from his chest.
'Seriously, you're crying?'
"I'm so sorry. It happened so fast and I just don't know what to say." His breathing was ragged and he reached out for me again. Unfortunately, I had no more room to scoot away so he turned me towards him and tucked me into his chest. I had no choice but to lay there as he sobbed into my neck.
"I'm so sorry baby. My baby, forgive me. I can't bear to live without you, please say something. Say anything, I need to hear your voice." Each sentence was followed with a ragged breath and a small trembling sob.
I cleared my throat and lifted my dead and empty eyes, "Leave and I'll call you when I'm ready to talk."
Pain, panic, rejection, and about a million other emotions were splayed on his face. But he rose and stood like a broken man. I watched him hobble his way to the window. He turned and looked me in the eye, "I love you, only you, forever with you." He said it with such passion and with such fierceness that one of my heart strings repaired itself. Then he jumped out my window.
