DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Twilight book series, or any of the recognizable characters. Stephenie Meyer does.

WARNING: Sorry, but this chapter is super short. I just wanted to get started and it would be a while before I got to finish the entire chapter, so I just did enough so I could update sooner.


Chapter 12

I was frozen I couldn't move. All heads were turned our direction as Edward approached. His messy bronze hair framed his face, his topaz eyes pleading as he breathed, "Bella…"

Edward's hand went instinctively towards my cheek and caught a tear as it trailed down my face.

"Please don't cry." Edward whispered. I was frozen.

It all happened so fast. Logan put himself between Edward and me.

"You do not have the right to talk to her. You have already given her to many tears, I'm not going to let you give her anymore." Logan said protectively.

Edward hung his head. "I know I never deserved her, she is far to precious. I only wanted her to be happy and move on. The thing I didn't count on was that I couldn't move on. I love her with my entire being, she is my reason for existing."

"You're right about that, you don't deserve her, she is far to precious. What gives you the right to think that you can waltz right back into her life and turn it upside down, now? Why now? After she has started to move on and get her life back? Why are you coming back to just mess with her? Well, I'm not going to let you!" Logan was getting mad now.

"What can I say? I'm selfish, I know I am, but I love her, at least I tried, I tried to do the unselfish thing and give her up. I will do anything for her. If she tells me to I will turn around and walk out that door right now. However, if she gives me one single small indication that I have a chance I will do everything in my power to fight for her. Edward shot back and Logan.

"And you think that I wouldn't do the same thing?" Logan questioned, but before he could say anymore I regained myself.

"I'm standing right here. You don't have to talk to me like I'm not even here. I think that it's my choice, not your's what I decide to do." I told both of them with tears streaming down my face uncontrollably now.

"Alice." I said in a whisper knowing that she could hear me. "Can you take me home now?"

Alice and Jasper were right there to usher me out the door to the car. Alice held me while Jasper drove to my house. I had so many emotions playing within myself that I didn't know how I felt. Edward was back. He did love me he wanted me; he was going too fight for me. This should be and interesting change of pace, Edward actually fighting to be with me rather than fighting to keep me at arms length.

I really cared about Logan and Edward I love them both.

When the car stopped I realized that we were not at my house, but at a hotel.

"What are we doing here?"

"I thought you might like a little space at the moment." Alice gently said.

"Thanks." I replied as she helped me out of the car.

We made our way to the room. Of course it was a suite with a separate bedroom. Alice brought me to the bed where I feel into a fitful sleep.

I dreamed of Edward, but he was leaving. He came back kissed my passionately, like he never had before but then left again. The entire time Logan standing there smiling, holding my hand.

I woke up in a cold sweat. I realized that I wasn't alone in the room. Just thinking it was Alice I laid back down. Then I felt someone get on the bed next to me. I rolled over and Edward was there smiling with sadness in his eyes.

I sat up; he chuckled which set my heart a flutter.

"Bella, I am a fool. I have always been a fool, but I couldn't stay away, I love you so much. You are my life, my existents. I can't even believe that I was foolish enough to even think that I could exist without you. "

My heart was racing has he spoke. Then as he leaned closer my heart skipped a beat. His lips were cold and familiar. I never thought that I would have this experience again.

He deepened the kiss as my arms reacted on their own accord wrapping themselves around his neck and my hand went instinctively into his hair. He did not pull away has he usually does, I ended up being the one to pull away so that I could catch my breath.

"What, why? My life was going so well, now you come back perfect as ever and expect everything to automatically go back to the way it was?" I said as I caught my breath. "It doesn't work that way. I'm not the same Bella I was before, I'm stronger."

"I will fight for you Bella, I will be here until you tell me that you don't want me, I will be here." Edward said with sincerity.


I know that this is a super short chapter, but it gives me a good start for the next one. Sorry it took so long, but I got an early copy of Eclipes and it was really good! I finished it in a day. I'm going to read it again. But I think that my story will pale in comparison to the book, but I hope that you still want to read my story after you read it.

Well, let me know what you think, If you like what I've done and where it's heading.

Bella is going to make Edward fight for her. It should be interesting.
