We sat on the bed quietly for a few minutes. I'm sure Edward was trying to get his thoughts together, and I the same. I had just remembered how much he meant to me and what did I do? I practically threw myself on him.

"I'm sorry." I apologized again. He must have thought I was a savage with the way I attacked him.

"Don't you dare apologize." He said fiercely as he turned to look at me. "I was just taken by surprise."

"You? I am, too! I just found out that the guy that I've been having feelings for IS the love of my life…and I couldn't remember!" I shook my head looking away.

"Having feelings, huh?" He grinned and I bowed my face to hide the blush creeping up on my cheeks. "Don't do that." Edward whispered tightening his grip on my hand.

"Do what?" I said looking back at him.

"Hide. You should know, I detest that." He smiled at me.

My breath hitched in my throat as my heart started to beat faster. His warm hands on mine and his warm breath enveloping me were making my body feel hot again. On top of that, my headache was back as the memories tried to catch up my head burst in flames. To try and think clearly, I pulled back gently. I needed fresh air. I needed to get all my thought and emotions in order. I instantly shot up and turned to walk out.

"Bella." Edward stood up. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing is wrong. I just need air. I need to get my thoughts together." I apologized grabbing the door knob.

"Do you want me to come with you?" he asked worriedly.

"No. I'm fine. I promise. Just need some air and time alone. I'll be back, okay?" I smiled at him to assure him that things were okay.

"Okay. I'll be here." He said sitting back down.

I nodded my head and then walked out of the room. Once in the hallway, I let out a loud gasp and headed out the door. I knew where I wanted to go.

When I arrived at the top of the hill, I sat down gently on the grass. I looked down at the bracelet I had slipped on in the room and prayed for more memories. I tried to clear my head and force them to come, but it was no use. All I could remember was that night and what I was feeling. I loved him; I was madly in love with him…that I knew for sure.

The questions running through my head were; why didn't my bracelet hold those new charms? Why wasn't I wearing the bracelet when I was in the accident? I didn't see it on my wrist.

Before I could delve too much in to it, my phone rang loudly. The ring tone sounded familiar but I hadn't heard it since I woke up in the hospital. I looked down and noticed Alex name appear.

"Hello" I answered still not sure if he blamed me.

"Bella." Alex gentle voice said into the phone.

"Alex." I said back.

"Oh, sweetie. I've been trying to get in contact with you! For some reason, your phone goes straight to voicemail." He sighed.

"I'm sorry, I was afraid to answer." I said softly.

"Why?" he asked shocked.

"Because I caused the accident Alex. If I wouldn't have grabbed the wheel, we wouldn't have hit the barrier. I'm so sorry, Alex. I really am. I understand if you don't want anything to do with me." I cried into the phone.

"That is nonsense, Bella! I would never blame you. It was an accident and that's all. I've been worried sick about you. I miss you. I heard that you were back in Forks and I would love to come see you." He asked.

"You don't blame me? How can you be so okay about this? I almost killed us."

"It was an accident, okay. Can we please move forward? If it makes you feel better, I forgive you and still love your crazy ass." He chuckled which made me chuckle.

"Okay, but only, if you promise to come see me! I miss you, too!" I said with a smile on my face.

"I promise. I'll see about coverage for the store and I'll let you know. Maybe in the next month or so."

"Okay, so how have you been?" I asked wanting to know how he was really doing.

"I'm doing good. I'm back at the store working my behind off. Just hired someone to take care of all of your work. She's okay, but definitely not you."

"My work? What did I do at the store?" I asked not recalling it at all.

"Oh, I'm sorry sweetie. I forgot you're getting used to this. You were an employee at my bookstore and ran the writing program and paper. You are an amazing writer. How about if I email you some of your work? Maybe that will jog your memory." He suggested.

"That would be great." I said as I thought about everything I had before the accident and then it hit me. "Hey, Alex, you are my best guy friend, right?"

"Yes, of course. We're as thick as thieves." I heard the smile on his side.

"So you tell me things just how it is, right?"

"Yes, what's going on?"

"Why was I upset that night?" I blabbed out.

"Oh…Bella…I..." he stammered.

"Will you not tell me either?" I asked frustrated.

"I'm sorry sweetie, that's something that you have to come to by yourself. I wish I could tell you, but you have to remember on your own. I, as well as your family and friends, have different views to what happened and we would be more subjective then we should be. I'm really sorry, sweetie." He apologized gently.

"That's fine, Alex. I figured they had gotten to you. At least I remembered Edward." I smiled to myself.

"You do?" he asked, again shocked.

"Yes, I remember the night he told me he loved me in New York. That's all, but I know that I love him and always will."

"Oh, okay. That's nice to hear." He said but somehow he seemed hesitant about what he was saying.

"You don't sound happy." I said.

"Oh, no. I am. Did you and Edward talk about your relationship before the accident?"

"No, I told him I didn't want to know."

"Why wouldn't you?" he asked incredulously.

"I just don't want to. Why should I know?"

"I think that is up to you, Bella. If you want to know then so be it but I think that it's best to know all from your past. Don't you think?"

"No, not really. I don't want to dwell on the past when I am starting a new future. I don't want my mistakes or feeling in the past to impact what I know and feel now." I said but somehow I didn't feel confident. "I don't know, Alex." I sighed.

"Well then just let things fall where they may. Listen, I have to get back to work but I'll call again, okay. Take care, sweetie. Talk to you later."

"You too, Alex. Goodbye." I said then hung up.

I bowed my head in between my legs and shut my eyes. I tried to clear my mind and after a few minutes it worked. My head wasn't burning anymore; instead I was in my "dream" world again.

I was at a wedding reception, when I looked around I saw Rose in her wedding gown and Emmett looking at her with a smile on his face, while dancing. This was their wedding day. I looked around and saw Alice and Jasper sitting down with a littler version of Allison.

"That will be you and I soon." I heard Edward's smooth voice whisper into my ear.

"Oh, really? What makes you think I'll accept?" I smiled as I turned to face him.

"Ouch. Are you saying you would say no?" he asked.

"No, I'm not saying that. How about if I want to propose?" I teased him.

"Nope, it's only right that I have that honor. I won't give you the time to propose, because I'll beat you to it." He smirked.

"Well, if you insist." I chuckled as I wrapped my arms around him.

"I definitely insist." He whispered into my ear and wrapped his arms around me bringing me to him.

"I wouldn't say no." I assured him and leaned my head on him. Together we stood to the side watching Rose and Emmett enjoy their first dance as husband and wife.

I opened my eyes in surprise and looked around. We were already thinking about marriage when Rose and Emmett married. We were much more then just girlfriend and boyfriend. I knew and felt that much in that instant.

Before I could continue thinking, I suddenly felt someone behind me. Call me intuitive, but his aura drew me to him. I knew it was him, even as he sat behind me and pulled me back against him. I wasn't afraid of it being a stranger because I knew it was him. I let his warmth envelope me and leaned my head against his chest. I couldn't remember the last time I felt so at peace. My headache vanished and all I felt in that moment was joy. So much joy, that I let out a small laugh, without realizing it.

"I know you wanted to be alone but I couldn't stay away. I knew you would be here." Edward whispered into my ear.

"How did you know?" I whispered back not wanting to interrupt the moment of peace we had.

"It's where your heart guides you. You told me that this was where you fell in love with me. I knew this is where you would be because this is where I come."

"I feel at peace here. It's like everything is suddenly clear to me, well, as clear as it can be, right now."

"I know that feeling." He whispered and then we both fell silent as we sat there enveloped in each others warmth.

I don't remember ever falling asleep but I guess I did. The next thing I knew I was waking up in my bed, still wrapped in the same warmth. I felt Edward's arms still embracing me and, instead of moving, I snuggled up to him more. His scent enveloped me and all I could think of was the things I should do to him. Before my hormones could get the best of me, I turned gently in his arms to face him. I looked over at his perfectly smooth face and smiled. He looked so peaceful and happy, as he slept, with a smile on his face. I brought my hand over his and ran my fingers across his eyes, his cheeks, his forehead and then his jaw line. My fingers must have been cold because his lips turned up into a wider smile and he sighed in pure joy.

"Morning, love." He whispered.

"Morning. Sorry to wake you. Go back to bed." I whispered.

"Not tired anymore. How are you doing, sleepyhead?"

"Well rested. How did I get home?"

"You fell asleep in my arms so I brought you home. I was going to leave but you didn't let me go. I must say I didn't know you were that strong, I was afraid for my shirt." He chuckled.

"Sorry." I smiled and hid the blush that was rising on my cheeks.

"Ugh, you drive me crazy when you do that." He groaned.

"Sorry."

"Stop the apologizing, Bella." He sighed as he sat up in bed.

"Sorry." I said again accidently and laughed.

"Hey, Bella. I know that you don't think its best to talk about before the accident but I really think it's important." He said with sadness in his features.

"Sure, we do…just not now. How about breakfast?" I asked getting up from the bed.

He thought about something for a moment and then smiled sadly at me. "Sure."

"Wait, I need a moment." I said lifting my finger and heading to my bathroom.

After taking care of my morning essentials, I made my way to the kitchen to cook breakfast. When I was turning the eggs, there was a knock on the door.

"Bella, can you grab that? I'm in the shower." Edward called from upstairs.

I laughed and made my way to the door. When it flew open, I froze in complete surprise.

"Oh my God! What are you doing here?" I asked with a smile on my face.

My day had just went from perfect to AMAZING.
