Ok... um... not much to say.

I'm not Stephanie Meyer. *SOB!*

I think I panic to much. No, I do panic to much. I need therapy.

I freaked out, trying to look for a way to escape. Here are my options so far:

One: Run. But then Edward would probably run after me. And wouldn't stop chasing me until I stopped running. Bye option one!

Two: Develop some freaky power that can knock out people. And vampires. That way I could escape and Edward wouldn't be able to follow me. Yay! Too bad that's probably not going to happen.

Yeah, that's about it. So I stood there, like an idiot, waiting for someone to rescue me. I really shouldn't have left Dee.

Fly.

The idea came to me out of nowhere, nothing triggered it. And that was really, really weird. For me.

I thought over the idea. Hm... not to bad. Edward would probably go into shock from seeing my wings (he hadn't noticed them yet) and I could just fly away. I knew he could jump pretty high, but I was still stronger. And faster. And the one who could fly. I figured I could get high enough before he could grab me.

Carefully, I spread out my wings wide. I heard Edward gasp, and that satisfied me. With one, swift motion, I was up in the air. I was getting ready to fly away when Edward called out.

"No, Bella! Please! Stay! I want to talk. Please!" He pleaded.

I thought for a minute. Would he apologize? Or break my heart? I instantly knew what Dee would do - she would talk and hope for the best.

I'm strong. I thought. Stronger than Edward. The only person who can break heart here is me.

I landed softly on the ground. "What?" I growled.

"I've missed you. And I'm sorry." Edward looked down at the ground, and, if vampires could cry, I knew he would be sobbing right now.

Thought I tried to fight the urge, I had to smile. A tiny one appeared on my face, and Edward's mood brightened a little bit.

Maybe he really is sorry. After all, break-ups and heartbreaks always end up bringing couples closer! Sometimes. Ah, my logic side was bad. The one that told me to stay in Forks, and face my fears. I missed it.

No! Leave! This can't be good for you! You'll just end up hurt even more Bella! Go now! My dumb side wanted me to leave, naturally. Not that I would. I have a reason for calling this my dumb side.

The two voices started to bicker, once again. I tried to tune them out.

"I never wanted to hurt you. Or your family. Or your friends." Edward admitted. This held my attention.

"Then why did you leave?" I asked, puzzled.

He sighed, then walked over to me and sat down in the middle of the meadow. "Why don't you sit down? It's a bit of a long story."

Bella sat down next to me, and I felt her wing brush my skin. I looked down and studied it. It was so pretty. The feathers were a beautiful, bright white with red streaks that ran down the wing. And they were soft. Really, really soft. They were like velvet and I couldn't help but run my hand softly across one.

"You like them?" Bella murmured, looking down at my hand.

I nodded, then smiled up at her. "They're beautiful. Just like you."

Bella looked like she would blush if she could, and her eyes refused to meet me. "Now let's here that story."

"Okay. Well, lets start out at the birthday party." Bella flinched at the memory, and I rubbed her wing in comfort.

"After Jasper attacked you, I ran after him into the forest. He hated himself, and was severely depressed. He hated being a monster - a feeling we both shared. We talked for a while, and then went back to the family. That's where we made a decision." I didn't look at Bella, fearing the sadness in my eyes would only hurt her more.

"And that decision... was to leave?" Bella guessed.

I nodded. "Yes. I'm sorry. Everyone was heartbroken, especially Emmett, Alice, and Esme, and some of my siblings wouldn't talk to me for weeks. Well, actually, it was mainly Alice and Emmett. Rosalie didn't care much, Jasper was the one who had talked it over with me, and Esme and Carlisle are my parents. They can't just refuse to talk to me." My voice sounded sad and depressed, and I knew Bella could sense it.

"Then what?"

I sighed, and continued with my heartbreaking story.

"We left, as you know. We went somewhere, but I never paid attention to my surroundings. I wasn't headed to a new life, no, you were my life. I was just ending it, and that thought could have killed me alone." I shook my head in anger. I was so stupid! I had wasted all that time without Bella, and just made life harder for all her family members and friends that had suffered through her death.

"Bella, do you know why I left?" I asked her.

She shook her head. "No. In the forest, it sounded like you didn't want me anymore. But the way your talking now makes me think I was completely wrong."

"You were wrong." I murmured, wrapping my arms around her waist and pressing myself against her. "Bella, I left to protect you. All those things I said in the forest? Lies! I would never, ever do that to you."

"Like you said, I always believed the lies." She smiled, chuckling.

I grinned, too. "You did. But I'm not lying now, Bella. I left to protect you, but all I did was kill you! Your soul, your heart, your life. And in that process, I hurt Charlie, Renee, and all your friends." I growled, hating myself.

Bella frowned. "But don't you see, Edward? You thought, that by leaving me, you were taking away my killer. But, truthfully, you were taking away my protecter. With out you, I would be dead by now."

I blinked in shock. Wow, that actually made sense. Bella wasn't done with her little speech, though. Not yet.

"But that's not the point. Were here, and were together again." She wrapped her hands around me, and pressed her forehead against mine. "So lets just enjoy the moment." She said as she kissed me.

Like it? I loved it! It's so nice to see our couple happy and together again. =D

Sorry if Bella and Edward made up to fast, but I couldn't see them apart anymore. It was killing me! LOL. =)

So, as always, we close the chapter out with... REVIEW!!

Peace out!
