and it was called yellow

Someone cleared their throats and I realized that the whole room was staring at us. Kissing Bella gently, I stood her on the ground, keeping my arms firmly wrapped around her. She leaned into my chest, breathing heavily. I had been so empty without her in my arms.

To say I was surprised she was here was an understatement. Though I was overjoyed she was here in my arms, I wished she never had to meet these vile people. "Edward, we have decided after meeting this lovely young woman," Aro said smiling at Bella. She ignored him. "That we would love for Bella to join us." He said smiling. Carlisle started to object and I shook my head.

"No." I said fiercely. "I refuse to let Bella stay here." My tone was set and solid like rock and Aro smiled, calculating.

"Are you sure you want to be separated from her again?" Bella hugged me tighter and growled. I glanced down at her in surprise and smiled.

"Over my dead body." She hissed. Aro blinked in surprise before laughing heartily.

"Yes Edward, I do enjoy her so. I'm sure her company would be marvelous this season." I shook my head again, too angry to talk. The real kicker was that I was almost positive, that had the situation been any different, Bella and Aro would have gotten along really well and we all knew it.

"Well it seems we have reached an impasse." Aro said frowning. I growled in frustration.

"Aro you must understand, the police force knows we are gone. They know where we are, who we're seeing and what we're doing. If we don't return according to their schedule, they will launch a full investigation into this." Carlisle said smoothly. Emmett grunted in confirmation. Aro froze, clearly thinking things over.

A door to my left opened and Bella flinched closer to my body. I hugged her tighter, completely exhilarated to be holding her again. We looked at the door to see a small woman with fair white blond hair come into the room. She was absolutely beautiful and looked too much like my father.

"Carlisle?" she asked, stopping her graceful stride. Carlisle looked up and his face seemed to melt in happiness. The woman rushed to him, hugging him so tightly it looked to be cutting off his air, but he just hugged her back.

"Mother." He breathed. I had met my grandmother once before, when I was younger. She had come to visit us in Washington. I had enjoyed her tremendously. She was a wonderful woman.

She stepped away from Carlisle and turned to us. She looked at Emmett in shock. "Little Emmett?" she asked smiling. Emmett grinned and pulled her into a hug.

"Hey Granny." He said hugging her. She was tiny in his arms.

"I cannot believe how much you've grown." She said stunned. Her thick British accent danced toward me and I smiled. My father used to have a heavy accent. Now, though it was still strong, it was watered down with a bit of American. "You're a man now!" she said smiling. Emmett grinned.

"Naw," he said waving his paw like hand. "Just an oversized kid." Grandma Elizabeth laughed, the sound of wind chimes.

"Oh Emmett my dear. It is good to see you." She turned toward Bella and me and her eyes widened.

"Edward! Bella!" she said, pulling us both into a hug at the same time. I saw Bella's face pull into a smile as she returned the embrace one armed.

"Grandma Elizabeth." She said grinning. Grandma Elizabeth smiled.

"Darling look at you! All grown up!" she said making Bella blush. "And you!" she said turning to me. "You're so handsome!" I smiled.

"It's good to see you Grandma." I said smiling. She nodded and glanced at the lack of space between Bella and me.

"So Edward, sweetheart, when are you going to marry this girl?" she asked making me laugh and Bella blush.

"As soon as I get home." I said glancing down at Bella. Her brown eyes widened and Grandma Elizabeth clapped.

"Excellent! I've been waiting for it since I met you both when you were eight." I looked over at her incredulously and she just winked. "So to what do we owe the honor of your presence here?" she asked turning back to Carlisle. He looked at me and hesitated. Emmett, took charge.

"We came here to rescue Edward." He said boldly. I knew that if I were here, the chances of my grandmother knowing were slim.

As I had guessed, Grandma Elizabeth's cool blue eyes flashed to Aro and he flinched. "You kidnapped your grandson!" she hissed. This tiny woman, no bigger than Alice, was putting the fear of god into three grown men who owned and were feared by the entire country of Italy. "What on Earth would get you to do something so stupid!"she yelled. She started screaming at him in Italian before she switched to French. As soon as she started screaming in French, Aro's eyes widened. Grandma Elizabeth only screamed in French when she was furious.

She turned to Carlisle who was silent. "Carlisle darling. Come help me grab my bags." She said motioning for us to follow her. We were all silent.

"Elizabeth, my dear what are you doing?" Aro asked slowly. She turned her sharp gaze toward him.

"I am taking my family home." She said sternly. Aro could only stare at her in shock as she led us away, through the house. Bella looked at me hesitantly and I smiled. It was the most brilliant stroke of luck that Grandma Elizabeth came into that room when she did. We wouldn't have gotten out of here if she hadn't.

"Edward?" Bella's soft voice brought my attention to her sweet face.

"Yes love?" she smiled, hugging me tighter.

"Did you really mean what you said?" I frowned, trying to understand what she was referring to. "About," she paused biting her lip. "About marrying me when we got back?" I could see her question in her eyes and I stopped our pace, turning her to face me.

"Bella, being here has made me realize just how much I need you in my life. I was literally fading away without you here with me. I need you, in every way I can get you." I said passionately. Bella smiled slowly.

"You do have me." She whispered. I smiled and pulled her into my chest. I could feel her tears soak into my shirt and I hugged her tighter. "I love you so much Edward." She whispered against my chest. The emotions were raw in her voice and I felt my own tears start to build. She pulled away abruptly and wiped her eyes. "Don't let me break down here. Let's get out of this place first." I nodded and kissed her gently.

"I love you Bella." She nodded with a small smile.

"I love you too Edward."

.Bella.

The emotions coursing through me were too strong to fully understand. I had never been so overwhelmed in my life. It was nearly maddening.

I couldn't stop touching Edward. Even when Grandma Elizabeth gave him clean clothes to change into, I dressed him. I was afraid that if I lost contact with him, he would disappear. I couldn't let him disappear again.

I wasn't sure how, since I was mostly focused on Edward, but somehow Grandma Elizabeth was able to not only get us out of the crazy house, but to a private plane and on our way home. I was so exhausted, but I refused to sleep. I couldn't sleep. Not yet. I needed to see Edward again. To make sure he wasn't going to disappear mid flight.

I was curled up on Edward's lap in one of the plush leather seats, listening to his heart beat. His hand was combing through my hair and he was humming an unfamiliar song. His voice combined with the steady beat of his heart was lulling me to sleep. I fought to stay awake. Determined to make the most of our time together.

"You're tired." He said gently. I shook my head against his chest stubbornly. He chuckled and I drank in the sound. "Come on love, let's go lay down." He said picking me up easily. I wrapped my arms around his neck in surprise. He smiled and kissed my forehead. "We're going to get some sleep." He called to Carlisle and Emmett who were playing a game of poker with Grandma Elizabeth. They all nodded.

Edward carried me to the small bedroom in the back of the plane. He laid me down gently on the soft bed then crawled in after me. Instantly his arms were around me, bringing me into his chest. I inhaled his beautiful scent and sighed.

"What is it love?" he asked softly. Brushing the hair from my eyes. I shook my head.

"I really missed you." I said softly. Edward nodded.

"I can't even tell you how much I missed you." He whispered.

"When I found your note," I blinked back the tears that formed from the harsh memory. "I honestly thought you didn't want me anymore." I whispered, tears choking me. Edward froze before pulling me tighter into his chest.

"Oh my love you know that could never be right? That I will love you forever. It broke my heart to write it. No greater lie has ever been told than that letter." I sobbed, clutching onto his shirt front tighter.

"I was so miserable." I whimpered. "I felt like I was hollowed out. I just wanted to die." I admitted. I could feel Edward flinch but I needed to get this all out. I needed him to know how much I needed him in my life.

"What made you come around?" he asked gently. I whimpered and took a deep shuddering breath.

"A song you used to sing to me in the mornings. I realized that if you truly didn't love me, you wouldn't have stuck around that long." I whispered against his chest. His large hands were brushing my hair softly, calming me almost instantly.

"I do love you Bella. So very much. I'm so sorry that you had to think for one second that I didn't want you. I'll always want you." Tears built up in my eyes and I shut them, taking a deep breath. My emotions were still raw, still on over drive. I needed to sort through them before I seriously lost my mind. "How are you feeling love?" I shook my head.

"I don't know. I feel like my emotions are building up in my chest, cutting off my air and my heart. It's almost painful." I whispered. Edward frowned.

"What can I do to help?" I bit my lip and thought.

"Just walk them through with me." I said slowly. He nodded and I closed my eyes.

"What's the first thing you feel?" he asked gently.

"Relief." I said instantly. "Relief." I said again. I felt the emotion identify itself and settle, becoming less overwhelming.

"Why relief?" he asked gently. I opened my eyes and smiled at him.

"I have you with me again." I said gently. He smiled.

"Good, what's next?" he asked messaging my back with his finger tips.

"Joy." I whispered closing my eyes again.

"Why joy?" he asked.

"You're safe." I answered. I felt him kiss my forehead gently.

"Next?" I frowned. This was the emotion weighing me down.

"Fear." I opened my eyes and watched his face.

"Why fear?" he asked gently. I blinked, my eyes suddenly filled with tears.

"I can't lose you again Edward. I just can't. I wouldn't survive it again." I sobbed. "I didn't know pain until I lost you." I felt Edward's body shake as a silent sob rippled through him. That made me cry harder.

We lay, wrapped around each other so tightly there was no beginning or end of two bodies, just one whole.

I cried until my eyes and throat burned. I felt Edward kiss my tear stained cheeks. "I'm not going back to school." He whispered. I looked up at him, surprised.

"W-what?" I stuttered. He nodded.

"I'm not going to put us in that kind of danger ever again. I'm giving it up." I shook my head, unable to process his words.

"What are you going to do then?" he shrugged, and I pulled my hand up to wipe a few stray tears from his cheeks.

"Anything I want. I'm thinking I'll try music." I was stunned. Edward loved science more than anything. It came second to only me. It was his passion in life. Without it what did he have?

"But Edward, you love science." I said, still stunned.

"Bella, don't you see? I love you more. So much more. And if anything, and I do mean anything, that I do ever hurts you, I won't do it ever again. I can't." I didn't know what to say. All I could think of to do was cry. I was, once again, floored by the enormity of Edward's love for me. It nearly matched mine for him. "Think of it this way love," he said gently. "What if something you did separated us?" I shook my head.

"I would never do it again. I would hate whatever tore us apart." I said quietly. He nodded.

"Exactly." I nodded in understanding.

"So you want to pick up music again?" I asked slowly. He nodded.

"While I was," he paused and I shuddered in understanding. "While I was there, all I could think of was you. I even wrote you a song." I smiled in surprise. Edward had written me a lullaby when we were younger, a song I still held near and dear to my heart.

"Will you sing it to me?" he smiled and nodded.

"Yes, just try to get some rest okay?" I nodded, closing my eyes against his chest.

He started humming, that unfamiliar tune again. I felt the vibrations of his hum in his chest and sighed, enjoying the familiarity of the situation. "Look at the stars, look how they shine for you and everything you do, yeah they were all yellow, I came along, I wrote a song for you, and all the things you do
and it was called yellow."

So I know that it's a coldplay song, but imagine Edward wrote it for Bella.
