A/N: I just wanted to say a big Thank You to all you that read and review religiously. It means the world to me and I thank you. I am truly humbled by the big name authors I have reading my first fic and supporting me along the way. I will never be able to express what it means to me. Thank you. With that being said, I am going to end Miserable here. I think this is a good ending point for these two, and I may go back to them at a later date. Also, there is just so much going on-with everything-that I need to put this behind me and start new. I have some more plot bunnies running through my head, and hopefully real life will allow me to get started on that. Also, I have a few outtakes and futuretakes in mind for this, since it is my baby. Anywho. So, for the last time…on with the show…
"I love you."
My back is against the headboard as they sit in my lap. Neither one of us breathing. Our hearts pound furiously against each other
Three little words, that hold so much meaning.
"Bella?"
"I can't help it Edward, but I do. I love you," she whimpers and crushes herself further into me. Then ever so softly, she adds, "I have fallen so in love with you."
I hold her to me while as my mind floods with images, everything I have been through and experienced over the past couple of years on replay in my brain.
Pushing my nose into her hair that lays against shoulders, I breathe her in and I remember...
The phone call that changed everything..
One accident..
Two lives..
Losing my father, Edward Sr...
Losing my best friend, Emmett..
Miserable..
Or at least I was.
Until Bella…
Smiling more..
Experiencing happiness again..
Gaining a new best friend...
Having meaning to life again...
Everything seeming brighter..
No longer being miserable..
Accepting and dealing with the grief...
The weight being lifted...
Fuck, I love her too.
Feeling her start to pull away I shake my head, not allowing her to move, holding her to me.
I know my silence has been taken wrong, so pull her closer until we are nose to nose, chest to chest, forehead to forehead.
"Open your eyes beautiful," I murmur to her, my lips ghosting over her own.
Deep brown swirls open and reveal to me love, lust and hesitancy.
Bringing my hands up to frame her beautiful face I try and express how much she means to me.
"Bella, oh god baby...I love you too," I breathe out, "I came to New York a broken man and was completely miserable...But I'm no longer that person Bella, and that's because of you. You helped me baby. You accepted me and helped me to deal with everything instead of bottling it up inside like I was. You helped me. You showed me how to live. You are everything to me Bella, everything. How could I not love you?" I ask.
Her answering smile is the only thing I see.
"Do you mean that?" she asks, tilting her head to the side, staring straight into my soul.
Kissing her chastely, I run my fingers along her cheeks, down her shoulders and arms until I have her hands in mine.
"I mean it, I love you Bella. Fuck, that feels good to say," I laugh with her and then squeeze her hands, "You aren't going to get rid of me so easily."
Her lips are soft and gentle against mine as we kiss lazily.
"But, are you sure you can handle me?" I add, giving her my lopsided smile she loves so much.
It's her turn to laugh as she nudges me playfully and wipes away the tears that had escaped.
"I can handle anything you have to offer Edward," she responds confidently, looking up into my eyes with a hint of mischief.
"Oh yeah?" I ask just before I flip her over and she is on her back.
"Yes!" she squeals as I attack her ribcage with my fingers.
"You're going to regret that Miss Swan!" I growl playfully and nibble at her neck.
"Never," Bella manages to moan out as her legs come up to wrap around my hips.
Her hand rubs the tree along my ribs and I shiver.
"You know this changes everything, right?" I whisper into her ear as I lower myself on top of her.
"I would hope so," she whimpers, "No more miserable baby."
"No more miserable," I respond, repeating her words as I slide into her.
Home.
Ok, so that's it. Not sure how I feel about this ending, but like I said, I already have a few ideas for futuretakes and outtakes.
Love? Hate? What did you think? Leave me a review and let me know!
