EPOV

As I drove, I let myself go on auto pilot so that I could think. I wasn't really sure what happened. It was almost like Bella and I did some sort of mind-meld thing. I know that I couldn't have made any of that up. Bella had given up hope. She thinks that it's all over. I can't let her go like this. If this didn't work…I don't know what I would do. It's the only shot I had.

I finally got to the place where I had to get out and run, and that's exactly what I did. After what felt like an eternity, I finally broke into the clearing. The same clearing where, a little over a year ago, my family was fighting an army of newborns.

Bella looked up, smelling me. I saw she had a dead human in her hands. I could smell the blood, but I fought back the hunger. Bella saw me, and she snarled, baring her teeth. But I wasn't afraid this time. I knew what I had to do.

"Bella," I said, walking closer to her. I could see her tense up with every step I took. I was less than a yard from her, and she let the human fall to the ground. I didn't stop walking, and I knew this confused her. I grabbed her shoulders, holding her firmly in place. I noticed she wouldn't look me straight in the eye. "Bella, I love you."

She turned her head away from me and started struggling. I kept her firmly in one spot with one hand, taking the other one and turning her face to me. I looked into her eyes as I spoke. "Bella, I love you!" She snarled again, and started writhing. I quickly pressed her against me and kissed her. I held the back of her head so that she couldn't turn away and pressed my lips to hers. She finally found the strength to step away, and she broke my hold on her. "Bella, I love you."

She screamed, shaking her head. "Yes, Bella…I love you!" I stated to raise my voice. Her head fell back and she let out a metallic, high pitched screech, as if she was in terrible pain. Her head dropped again to look at me, and I saw the gleam in her eyes. She shook her head, and came walking to me.

"You left me!" She punched my chest, but not hard enough to knock me off of my feet. "You left!' Another hit. "You went and left me all alone!" Another hit. "How could you!" Again. "I couldn't find you and you just left me!" Again. "I hate you! How could you just go and leave me all alone!" Her hits were getting less powerful, and so I grabbed her wrists. I could see the venomous tears pouring from her eyes. I threw my arms around her violently shaking body. "No…" She cried, "You left me all alone…" She was sobbing now, and our legs gave way. I let her cry herself out as I just rocked her back and forth.

I looked down and noticed her hair gradually changing back to her normal brown, and her clothes changing to their normal color as well. I knew that she would be all right; I just had to keep her sane. "Oh, Edward," she said through her tears, "I'm so sorry."

I took my hand under her chin and pulled her face up to mine. "No, I should be sorry. I didn't spend as much time with you as I did when you were human, and you have been thinking that I was going to abandon you again. I should never have allowed that thought to even have the opportunity to enter into your head. With all of the stress you have been under, I thought you needed space, but I was stupid. It was the complete opposite. Today was just your breaking point." The tears poured down her face again. I touched her face, more tender this time, brushing the tears away. "You don't have to cry anymore. I'm right here. This is where I'm going to stay. I'm never going to leave you again. I love you, Bella." I tilted her face up, and gently placed my lips on hers. She didn't make any movements to signal that she wanted me to stop, so I kept kissing her, letting my hand snake around her waist and through her hair.

After a moment, her hands found their way around my neck, and she was kissing me back. I had to keep myself from smiling. I had my Bella back. I moved my lips to her neck. "I love you, Edward," she whispered. I pulled to look at her.

"I love you, too, Bella. I love you so much." I stroked her cheek with my fingertips. I leaned in to kiss her again, but the snap of a twig made us both turn in the direction of the noise, towards the trees.

"Hello, Edward," A voice came from the trees. "I've been sent to kill a rouge vampire." Aro stepped into the clearing and pointed at Bella. "Her."

A/N: Well, this is my last chapter for a while, unless I can get an hour at the library in Marshall. Don't worry, I'm going to be using pen and paper to write more chapters while I am gone, so you're going to have multiple chapters posted when I get back sometime next week. I'm also going to try and write more for I Will Remember You. I might even start a new story. I'm not sure. I had an idea, but I lost it. P

gotbooks93 - OMG VAMPIRE REHAB?? That seriously made me laugh. That was hilarious. That's something Emmett would think of. lol! Wait...are you Emmett?? lol j/k!

xo-Kari-ox - Yeah I saw the MTV stuff...the ballet studio clip is amazing, but I wasn't really liking the clip that they showed that they said wasn't in the book but was important to the movie. (I didn't understand why it was important to the movie, and why they couldn't just keep it to the book but w/e) Something just didn't seem right. Edward seemed a little...out of character. idk. P

GreenArrowRocks - lol thank you! I'm pretty good with the whole 'suspense' thing. I only just learned that while writing this, and I'm planning on incorporating it into some other non-fanfic stories.

RiSSYKiNS - Bella talks in third person when she's dark because she's so disconnected from everything that the pure vampire side of her took over, and the vampire side of her isn't really...her. It was just something that was created, and it's sharing her body with her soul.

blizard - lol blushes
