This story is going to be from Edward and Bella's POV. Edward's point of view will be bolded. Bella's will be normal.


Bella was screaming at herself in her head but couldn't stop what she was doing. 'Oh my god, what is happening? Bella what are you doing?' Edward felt so good in her arms. She expected him to pull away and stop the kiss like he always did but he just wrapped her up tighter in his arms and deepened the kiss.

Edward had no idea what he was doing but he knew that he couldn't stop. He should stop Bella, but these past months left a lot of pent up feelings and he loved Bella so much.

Edward pulled Bella closer to him and deepened the kiss. He poured his heart and soul into that kiss, knowing whenever it ended this would be the last time he held her in his arms.

Bella could feel all of Edward's emotions washing over her. She could feel everything she had put him through since they got back from Italy. She answered his pain with her own. She knew that in some world they were soul mates. She knew that her decision to stay with Jacob would leave Edward alone but she couldn't be without Jacob.

Edward felt Bella's pain and cursed that stupid werewolf for not seeing what Bella was offering him. Edward finally felt all of the pain and sadness from these past months leave him. He slowly broke their kiss and gave Bella a few more pecks on the lips. He looked deep into her eyes and saw that she too seemed to have moved on.

Bella felt Edward slow the kiss and pull away. He gave her a few more kisses and she felt her heart was whole again. She could feel her pain from leaving him melt away.

"Edward, what was that? What just happened?" Bella was still wrapped in his arms. She slowly pulled herself out of his limbs and moved to the chair. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to kiss you I don't know where that came from."

"Bella, I think we both needed that. We were bottling up all those left over feelings. Our relationship was full of passion and took off so quickly, when you ended it so quickly there were a lot of left over emotions. I think we just let go of everything we had been holding onto. Bella, I think this is what closure feels like.

Bella realized Edward was right, they had been ignoring each other and the passion they once shared, that they actually needed this. She also realized that she didn't feel the pull towards Edward like she used to. As with most things, this wasn't a cure all. She still had some feelings but they weren't overwhelming like they used to be. Now it was a gentle smoldering. She looked at Edward and realized it was the same for him.

"Do you want to take a walk Bella? Let's get some fresh air." He grabbed Bella's hand and realize the spark was gone, he could now just see her as a friend. Bella walked outside with him just as the day was turning into night. It was beautiful outside, the weather was perfect and the stars were just emerging. This was one of those nights he would have spent with Bella in a different way months ago. Now he was just content to walk with her. They began to walk to road and discuss random events of their life.

Bella couldn't believe how easy it was to walk with Edward. This is how they were meant to be, she could truly feel it now. They talked about everything under the sun and just enjoyed each other's company. As they turned the corner on Bella's street, something felt wrong. She felt like someone was watching her. She turned to Edward as he stopped walking, curious to what stopped him from telling his latest story from his early years as a vampire.

Edward tensed and stopped walking. He stopped talking mid-story and looked ahead of them. He could feel her watching them, she had finally come for Bella. She had finally broken through the tight defensive line the werewolves had been holding for many months. She emerged from the woods, flaming hair blowing in the breeze. He could only imagine what they looked like to her, two lovers taking a walk. In his mind, he knew there was no way to convince her they were no longer together nor would she care.

Edward pulled Bella behind him as he heard Victoria's snarling mind. "Bella I'm going to need you to run when I tell you to. Please try not to trip. Get back to your house, get in my car and drive to La Push. I will try to keep her busy." As Edward was talking with Bella, Victoria started snarling at him. He knew he only had moments left. He turned hugged Bella, gave her a small peck on the lips and looked deep into her eyes.

"I will always love you Bella Swan. No matter whom you're with, you still have my heart. I know we are truly friends now but I will never forget our love. Please make it to your truck. Here are my keys, are you ready?" "Yes." Bella managed to squeak out. If Edward was this worried, she knew she should be even more worried. All she had to do was run back to Edward's car, jump in and drive to La Push. She could do this. She squeezed Edward's hand. "Please don't die. Don't let her hurt you. I will send help." Bella was tensed and ready to run. Victoria was burning a hole into her skull with her deadly stare. She gave a little smile and lunged for Bella.

Edward lunged in front of Victoria and their bodies collided sounding like an explosion. "Run Bella!" Edward punched, scratched and grappled with Victoria, trying to distract her enough for Bella to make it to his car. He could hear her frantic steps rushing back to his car. Victoria was trying everything to make it to Bella but Edward would give up his life just so she could make it to La Push. Breathing a small sigh of relief, he heard his car roar to life and tear down the road. This small breath gave Victoria a window, she smashed Edward's head against her knee and took off running. Edward's vision spun and he crumpled to the ground.

The last thing he saw was Victoria tearing down the road after Bella. "Please make it Bella." With that, he passed out.


Sorry it took me so long to update. I was busy moving and we didn't get internet until this weekend and I was at a wedding. I have this chapter for you and will have another ready to go either today or tomorrow. Only a few chapters left, Jacob and Bella don't have much more time apart.
