A/n: hey sorry for the delay it's been a tough week with so many tests but here's part 1 of the chapter you've all been waiting for.

EPOV

I paced up and down in the living room of the penthouse I was staying at in New York. I leave for Seattle tonight but I haven't seen or heard from the magazine or Bella and I've been here for over a week. Do you know what the worst part is? The worst part is knowing that she's here just two blocks away at the Volterra magazine office.

I was standing by the window when my phone rang: "hello,"

"Hi, this is Ginna from Volterra magazine" a lady responded, "I'm calling on behalf of the chief editor Marcus Volturi. He would like to know if you would be able to come in today to do a photo shoot for the 'Rising Stars of 2013' the article that you were interviewed for."

"I'm not sure I can make it, you see I leave New York in about 6 hours." I answer as politely as I can.

"I promise you it won't take long, just 2 hours. Please Sir." She sounded desperate.

"I'll come, but on one condition. You know the journalist who did the interview?"

"Yes, Miss Swan."

"Yes her. She has to be there for the photo shoot."

"I'll see what I can do and get back to you. Thank you. Bye bye."

"Bye."

I stood the window, contemplating whether or not I should really do this. I mean if I do go and see Bella what will she think of me? Will she even talk to me? I leaned against the glass wall and sank to the floor. I sat there and thought of the good times we had in high school and how I messed it all up. I remembered our senior prom it was a night that I will never in my life forget. She wore this amazingly gorgeous blue dress with a really high slit, she looked so beautiful. I was startled from my thoughts when my phone rang. It was Ginna, she had phoned to let me know that Bella would be there and that I need to be there at 2pm for the shoot and that it would be on the 13th floor.

"Bella we need you at the office this afternoon." Ginna said as soon as I answered her call.

"What do you mean I need to be there? I have the afternoon off there is no way I'm coming in." I state as a matter of fact.

"You have to. You are writing the article on Masen so you have to be here for the photo shoot." She tried to convince me for almost an hour before she gave up and handed Marcus the phone.

"Bella you have to be here and that's final. Masen asked specifically for you to be there and you will. Have I made myself clear?" he said in a stern voice.

"Fine, I'll be there. But then I want the whole day off tomorrow seeing as I have to come in now."

"Okay you have a deal. See you at half past one, the shoot starts at 2pm."

"I'll be there." I was so angry. I had made plans for my afternoon off which I now had to cancel because 'Masen' wants me at that photo shoot.

I left the park around one and walked back to the office. I arrived there just as he did and we rode up in the lift together. He was on talking on the phone so he did not see me, he got off on the 13th floor where the studio was but I went further up to the 20th floor to Marcus's office. "Ginna, is Marcus here? I heed to speak with him."

"Yes just a moment I'll let him know that you're here." She called him then sent me in.

"Bella my dear, what can I do for you?" he asked smiling.

"I just wanted to confirm with you that I will not be here tomorrow and that Masen is here." I answered whishing that I could wipe that smile off his face. I'm not normally a violent person, but right now he doesn't know what he's getting himself into. On my way down to the shoot I stopped at my cubicle to grab a few note books.

By the time I got down to the studio they had already started and Edward was standing with his guitar. It was the same guitar that I bought for him in our senior year. It looked just the same although a bit worn out and old from years of using it. I stood behind Steve, our camera man, long enough for Edward to see me then I left and went into one of the dressing rooms.

This was my favourite dressing room because it has the most comfortable couch in the whole building. I was sitting there, with my back to the door, trying to concentrate on finishing my article on the latest gossip from down town Hollywood when the door suddenly burst open. Mike, Steve's assistant, ran in. "Oh my gosh! Bella there you are."

"Where else would I be?" I ask sarcastically.

"Forget that, we need NOW!" he said grabbing my hand and pulling me to my feet before dragging me into the studio.

That's when I noticed everyone standing around someone. As I got closer I realised that it was Edward lying on the floor and stopped dead in my tracks. Mike dragged me to where they were all standing. Everyone was talking at the same time and all I could put together was that he was dizzy then he collapsed. I know Edward and I know that this only happens when he doesn't eat and is really stressed out about something. I knelt next to him to check if his pulse and breathing was steady. "Shouldn't we call an ambulance?" someone called from behind me. "NO!" I shouted, "He doesn't need to go to the hospital. He's fine." I turned to Steve and Mike, "get him into one of the dressing rooms now; I'll be there in a minute." I got up of the floor and ran to the kitchen for some ice. They had taken him to the room that I was in, "okay everyone out! And shut the door behind you." I wrapped the ice in my scarf and placed it on his forehead and sat there with his head in my lap and waited for him to wake up.

I was startled by his phone ringing, I felt his pockets but before I could get to it and answer it, it cut off. Alice was trying to get a hold of him and called back five minutes later.

"Bella what are you doing with Edward's phone? Where is he?" she asked as soon as she heard it was me on the line.

"Alice, calm down. He's fine, I think."

"What do you mean you think?" she asked panicked.

"I'm sitting with him now but he's still unconscious,"

"WHAT?" she screamed.

"He had one of his fainting spells, but he's fine. I'm just waiting for him to wake up." I explained.

"Does it look like he'll wake up any time soon?"

"No not really, he's out like a light. Why?"

"We are supposed to be boarding a flight in ten minutes."

"Where you guys headed?"

"Seattle, going to visit mum and dad." She answered.

"You guys get on your flight and I'll get Edward to call you when he wakes up, okay. And I'll make sure he's there by tomorrow evening."

"Thank you so much Bella, I know that this is a lot to ask."

"It's only a pleasure and what are friends for?"

"Best friends, by the way how long has he been out for?"

"About an hour or so, why?"

"Just asking, he should be waking up any time now. Where are you guys anyway?"

"Oh, we're here at the magazine's office. Edward was called to do a photo shoot for the article I interviewed him for last week."

"That's nice. Listen I really hope you guys make up we miss you so much."

"Alice," I sigh "I don't know. So much has happened..." I trailed off.

"I know but please, at least just try. Please. I have to go now; I'll speak to you soon."

"Okay, have a safe flight. Bye."

"Thanks and Bella take care of him."

"I will. I promise." I whispered as she cut the call. Just as I cut the call Edward stirred and started to wake up.

I had come in about an hour ago and we're half way through the photo shoot when Bella arrives. She walks in just as one of the assistances hand me my guitar, the same one that she bought for me. She stood behind the photographer for a little while before disappearing into one of the dressing rooms and did not come back into the studio. The photo shoot went on, though my heart wasn't in it. I kept wondering if she'd come back but she didn't. I knew then that something was really wrong. I didn't lunch and was feeling a bit light headed but before I could do anything about it, everything went black and I passed out...

The last thing I remembered was everything going hazy and then black. But now it felt as if I was lying on a couch, a very comfortable couch, and my head felt cold. I was so comfortable that I didn't want to wake up but then I remembered where I was. I woke up and saw the most beautiful chocolate brown eyes staring down at me. It was the eyes of my beloved.

Its long I know :) I'm happy with it hope you are too.
