Strange – no on really said she should have picked Jacob. Oh, well! I'm an Edward/Bella fan myself, so I'm fine!

The best answer was submitted by writer with No! Absolutely not! Her and Edward just belong together, there's nothing about Bella and Jacob being together that's just right. After reading about her and Edward together, it's one of those things you can't explain, they just belong. And anyone's whose Bella-Jacob is brain damaged; no offense to y'all!

Thank you so much, everyone, for your reviews! Just so you know, I don't hate Jake, I just like Bella with Edward so much better! Now here's "The Pain".

I am sitting with Bella. Every few minutes she screams out and Alice comes rushing over to see if there is anything she can do. The morphine didn't do its job, but there are some other pain medications that Alice thought to bring that seem to do something for her.

I am being totally useless. I've been sitting here since Alice said Austin and Tony could let go of me. That was yesterday. The transformation is almost complete. Because I bit her so close to her heart, Alice says that the change should be complete a half day early; that means there's about a half day left.

Austin and Tony have really embraced the roles of nurse's helper. They do and get whatever Alice tells them to. Alice once asked me to go get something, but I just looked at her until Bella screamed out and she had Tony do it instead. Right now Austin and Tony are out hunting a good, large elephant seal and emperor penguin for Bella to drink from when she wakes up. They are going to kill them so Bella can drink the blood right away.

I feel terrible that I ever wanted to kill Bella, my Bella, but I just couldn't stand to see her in so much pain. It was unbearable. Lucky for Bella, and me, Austin and Tony were there to keep hold of me, and Alice was there to slap some sense into me, literally.

She's screaming again. It's unbearable. At least she hasn't been in as much pain as she was yesterday. Was it only yesterday? It feels like months ago that I bit my dear, sweet Bella and she started screaming. I almost made up my mind to kill her again, but when I saw Alice glaring at me, I stopped. I almost decided to kill myself, but Alice glared at me again, so I just stared at the bite mark on Bella's neck. Besides, there isn't anyone out here to kill me even I wanted them to.

Pain. "AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" Alice rushes over to rub her cold hands across my head and neck. Edward is sitting here beside me like he has for the past- How long has it been? Alice was telling me that there's only a day left a while ago. She also told me something about it being shorter. I don't remember. It feels like centuries to me.

I wish Edward would go off and hunt or something. I need him so much, but I can see how much it hurts him when I scream. I've tried to be quite and still, but it hurts so ba-

"AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!" My throat hurt from screaming so much. I haven't been screaming as much lately because it hasn't been hurting as much.

I can feel a new burn rising in my throat. It's not an excruciating burn; I won't scream because of it, it's just irritating. Like and itch that won't go away now matter how hard or long you scratch it.

My next scream is cut off by my realization that the burn is my thirst. It shocks me. Not that the burn is so intense – it's really not – but that I actually have a thirst for blood. I am a vampire.

I am a vampire!

I have another poll on my profile that I really want people to answer! It might give me an idea for another story. And I need some help creating questions for new chapters, so if you have any that you might want me to ask, let me know!

Question 11: Do you think it would have been better if Edward hadn't been there at all during Bella's transformation?
