A/N: Hey guys! Thank you for the reviews. They made me smile :) Well, I promised another update, so here it is!

Chapter 19 (Edward's POV)

"Edward, about today..." She began, but I cut her off.

"It's okay, Bella. I didn't expect you to still love me back, not after what I did to you. But I meant what I said."

"Edward..."

"Don't worry about it, Bella. I get it." I decided that I didn't want to hear anything else. I stood up and walked away. I was staring at the ground while I headed for the door, so I didn't see the kid that I ran into. "Dude, sorry," he said.

I just shrugged. "It's no big deal," I murmured.

"You new around here?" he asked. I still didn't look at him. I wasn't in the mood for any conversations.

"Sort of."

"Well, I'm Criss." He reached his hand out and I shook it.

"Edward," I said and walked away. I wasn't trying to be rude. But I didn't care about anything. I didn't notice the people around me or the loud music. I just kept my head down and walked out of the club.

Part of me felt horrible. I felt like a jerk for leaving her like that. But, for the past few years, I couldn't do anything but think about her. There had been so many times where I had imagined our meeting. I had pictured me apologizing, her forgiving and putting her arms around me. But reality was nothing like that. She didn't love me anymore.

I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. In my mind, all I saw was us in our meadow, the first time I had ever met her, our first kiss. Every memory of us together flashed through my mind.

I wanted nothing more than to be with her. But she didn't want the same. I looked up at the moon. 'From now until the day I die, I'll watch over Bella and her family' I promised.

"Edward. Bella's in trouble." I heard Alice's voice in my head. I immediately listened. "She's in an alley by the club you were at. It's a vampire."

I stopped listening and took off. It was easy to distinguish Bella's scent and I ran as fast as I could. When I heard her scream, I ran even faster and found her on the ground just as she slammed a brick into the vampire's head. The scent of Bella's blood hit me hard, but I focused on the vampire in front of me. When the brick came into contact with his head, I used it to my advantage and dragged him away from Bella.

He was a new vampire, one that had too much confidence in his strength. Several times he tried to hit me, but, because of the fact that he thought about every move before he actually did it, I easily avoided his fist. I grabbed his arm and twisted it around, breaking it. He yelled, but I didn't let go and I slammed my foot into the back of his knee, again hearing several bones break. He fell down and I put my hands on his head, turned them quickly, and broke his neck.

He fell lifelessly down. I stared at him for a moment. I wasn't used to killing, but I'd do anything for Bella. Bella. I looked up to see her lying on the ground, her eyes closed. My heart stop and I ran over to her.

"Edward," She whispered.

"Shh. It's okay," I murmured, picking her up. I was ready to run her to the hospital, but I turned and looked at the dead body behind me, knowing I couldn't leave it there.

"Edward," I heard someone say behind me. It was Emmett and Jasper.

"Alice knew what would happen. We'll take care of him," Jasper said, pointing to the dead vampire. I nodded. "Everyone is at the hospital."

I took off running with Bella in my arms. Bella had her eyes closed again. But I knew she'd be alright. She had to be.

A/N: So...what'd you think? I was excited about this chapter because I was ready for a point of view change. I'm hoping to have the two ending chapters up by tomorrow!!! Please review! The more and quicker I recieve them, the faster I'll put up the last chapters! Thanks everybody!

Even though I made him the villain, I still love Criss!
