Chapter 26

"Yeah I sort of noticed how you tried to get everyone out of your life," Will told me.

I looked down at my hands, "I left Forks as soon as I could. They all started acting weird around me even though they denied it."

Edward gently took my other hand and caressed it. I smiled at him lightly, "I'll leave you two alone…yeah I so don't want to see that," Will murmured as he walked out of the room.

I sighed and looked up at Edward, "I did it again didn't I?"

"Did what?" he asked confused.

"I got you all worried again," I said as I lightly traced the circles under his eyes.

He gently took my hand and kissed it, "Yeah you did but I can't blame you for that."

"Don't even think about blaming yourself mister," I said in a joking tone.

He chuckled lightly before he leaned in and pressed his lips against mine. I brought my hand up and gently grabbed a chunk of his hair. I sucked on his bottom lip as his tongue entered my mouth passionately. I pulled away breathless and looked into his eyes. "You really don't remember anything right?" he asked me breathlessly.

I knew what he was talking about, "Right. The last thing I remember is going to the parking lot at the lab," I replied back breathless as well.

He smiled at me as he gently took my face in his hands and started giving me kisses all over my face. I giggled lightly as he did so. "We don't have to worry about him anymore love." He said once he stopped kissing me.

"Who?" I asked still a bit giggly from the after tingle.

"Miles," he said with a huge grin, "He's dead."

I looked at him completely surprised, "He is?!" I was extremely happy about this news.

"Yeah he died not long after we found you," he said as he went back to kissing my face.

"Edward?" I asked as he was kissing my neck.

"Hmm?" he asked.

"When can I leave?" I asked a bit breathless.

He pulled away and smiled, "Hopefully soon."

I smiled back before I pulled him to me again and sucked on his bottom lip again. He kissed back with a hunger before he pulled away again to look at me, "You didn't mean it right?" he asked breathless.

I didn't understand him this time. "Didn't mean what?" I asked breathless.

He bit his bottom lip, something I had never seen him do before in my life, "The thing about James."

"What thing?" I asked as I tried to think of the last time we had talked about James.

"The lover thing," he replied back as he looked down.

"Oh that! Of course I–wait you know that wasn't me right?" I asked him.

"Yeah but…you don't think I'm…awful do you?"

I lifted his chin up with my finger and looked him in the eyes, "Edward," I said with a smile, "You're the best. I can't and wouldn't compare you to James because that wasn't real. What you and I had was real." Wow I never thought I would do this. I had watched movies where the girl tells the guy how great it was and how they felt after they had sex and I always thought it was stupid.

Ha, now I'm doing it. "Really?" he asked a bit doubtful.

"Edward…have I ever lied to you?" I asked.

"Not that I know of," he responded back.

I smiled, "That's because I haven't."

"So you…don't think I'm a pussy?" he asked.

Well might as well tell him that everything I said was a lie…wow so I had lied to him before. "Look I was possessed when I had said that too. I didn't mean any of it."

He sighed and looked down, "I don't know how much more of this ghost stuff I can take anymore."

I bit my lip lightly, "Its part of who I am Edward. If you can't accept that then you're not accepting me."

"I can accept it. I just don't know if I'll be able to stay sane for it," he told me.

"I'm sorry," I whispered to him.

"There's nothing for you to be sorry for love. I love you and I accept everything that comes with the package deal," he said with a smile.

"You say that as if the package deal isn't all that good," I said with a small smile.

"The only bad thing about the package deal is the ghosts. The rest is completely…unbelievable," he said with a sly smile.

"In a good way or bad way?" I asked.

"A good way…always a good way," he replied back.

I pursed my lips, "Can I leave this horrible place anytime soon?" I reached my hand up to touch my new necklace to find it gone.

He chuckled lightly, "I'll go ask." He stood up to leave but I quickly grabbed his arm stopping him. He looked down at my hand before he looked at me confused.

I looked at him with a panicked expression I was sure of that, "It's gone," I told him.

"What's gone?" he asked confused.

"The necklace Edward!" I told him panicked, "It's gone!" I was completely freaking out.

"Calm down," he said as he lightly placed his hands on the sides of my face, "I need you to be calm when I tell you this."

I took in a deep breath and calmed myself down before I nodded, "The necklace wasn't on you when I found you."

My lip started to tremble. He didn't know about James. I had never told him. "Edward," my voice came out in a quiver, "I need that necklace."

"I know…don't worry we'll find it," he told me calmly.

I shook my head making him take his hands off my face. I was shaking all over from fear. Tears started to brim over my eyes again, "You don't understand," my voice broke.

"Sweetie what's wrong?" he asked as he quickly took my hand in his.

"James is stronger Edward. He can kill me now. He doesn't care about finding justice for his sister anymore he has a greater agenda in mind now. Without that necklace…I'm dead…done for," more tears brimmed over towards the end.

"Why didn't you tell me this before?" he asked softly.

"I didn't want to worry you. Plus I had the necklace I thought I wouldn't have to worry about it," I told him. I had been crying way too much lately.

He gently wiped my tears away with his thumbs, "Sweetie its okay everything will be fine I promise."

"You don't know that," I told him as I shook my head.

"You're right he doesn't," I jumped from surprise and looked to my right. It was James.

"What do you want?" I asked in a scared voice.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I want you?" he asked as he sat next to me on my bed.

I scooted away from him, "Me? For what?" I asked.

"I wasn't lying when I said I love you," he said softly as he looked down at his hands.

"Ha well you sure have a weird way of showing it," I shot back.

He grabbed my wrist roughly, "That's because you don't listen!"

I gasped from the pain as I tried to pry his fingers off of my wrist, "Bella what's wrong? Who is it?" Edward asked from beside me.

I continued trying to take his hand away although it probably looked like I was grabbing my own wrist, "Let go you're hurting me!"

"I won't have to if you would just listen," James said in a cold voice.

"Okay I'm listening!" I yelled at him.

He let go and I quickly took my hand back and rubbed at my wrist. Edward took my wrist gently in his hands and kissed it lightly, "You okay?" he asked.

"Yeah I'm fine," I told him.

He looked at my wrist closely, "He left a mark," Edward said through clenched teeth.

"It'll go away," I told him.

"It sure doesn't look like your listening," James said irritation clear in his voice.

"What do you want?" I asked annoyed.

"I already told you what I want."

"What do you want me for?" I asked.

"See I have a huge plan I'm working on right now. And they all involve you…and prince charming there," he said with a grin as he looked at Edward.

I looked at Edward in horror before I looked back at James, "What are you planning?" I asked with a noticeable quiver in my throat.

"Well you never gave me a chance when I was alive so now you'll have to accept me as a ghost," he shrugged as if it was nothing.

"You're joking right? Why would I want to do anything with you?" I scoffed.

"Well you actually won't be doing anything to me more like your lover boy there…so rather his body," he grinned again.

My eyes widened in horror as I realized what he was trying to say, "You wouldn't dare," I told him.

"Oh I can and I will," he told me as I stood up.

"It doesn't matter," I told him, "I don't care what you look like or who you look like…you're a crazy psychopath! No one will ever love you! You should be rotting in hell right now with your precious father!"

He turned to me swiftly with the scariest face I had ever seen on him. "If I can't have you no one can!" And with that he disappeared. I looked around the room astonished. He gave up that easily?

"Is he gone?" Edward asked.

I relaxed back on the bed and open my mouth to tell him yes when I felt it. A stabbing pain deep in my soul. I knew this feeling all too well. He was possessing me again. And this time I may not make it.
