Summary: Bella has some news to share with Edward and she has been trying to find some way to break up with him after she received a four-year scholarship and an early admission to the University of Arizona. They weren't meant to me, and they both knew it. (Bella/Mike)

Chapter 1: A Different Ending

For the past few months, Isabella Swan, "Call me Bella," has been trying to come up with some way to break up with her first love, Edward Cullen. It's not that she didn't love him, but she just got accepted an early admission, four-year scholarship to the University of Arizona. Edward and his family couldn't attend with her or even live in the State of Arizona due to what they are. They are a family of vampires.

Hell, Edward and Bella haven't been on the same wavelength since Edward broke up with her in the worse way possible after her disaster of a birthday party that she hadn't even wanted. She had been so heartbroken, and angry after he had left, then she started hanging out with a pack of overgrown furballs. A pack of shapeshifting wolves that are known as protectors. They protect the surrounding towns and cities from bloodthirsty vampires.

Anyway, Bella didn't think she has been in love with Edward since he broke her heart in such a callous way. But after saving his life in the vampire capital of the world, she wanted to give them another shot but it isn't working out. Edward would always be her first love, but she knew they weren't meant to be.

Bella wanted this scholarship more than anything and she wasn't going to give that up for anything. Thankfully, the Volturi weren't going to make her become a vampire or become vampire food because they understood and knew that she was under the protection of the pack.

At one time, Bella wanted to be a vampire, but that all changed when she started thinking about everything she loved and the people she loved more than anything. She never wanted to leave the people she cared most about in the world and she respected them too much to allow them to think she was deceased. Bella couldn't do that to them.

Bella knew it wasn't true love between herself and Edward as she didn't think she could have brought herself to leave if it was. But first love isn't supposed to last forever. It just showed you what love is until the "One" found their other half. Bella was just about to call Edward until she noticed he was standing in her front yard.

"Bella, things have been tense between us for a while. Tell me what is wrong," he requested.

"Come sit on the porch with me, I have something to tell you," she requested sitting on her front steps. "I don't think whatever we have between us is working. I have tried to forget and move on but I cannot. I love you but I am not in love with you. I know that you do not love me as you say or you would never have broken up with me the way you did last September," she said looking towards the woods recalling vividly how broken she had been.

"That's only part of it. I know there's more," he said. He wanted to be heartbroken and angry but he understood and he knew Bella was right.

"I just received an early admission, four-year scholarship to the University of Arizona. I know you and your family cannot live there, and I would never give up this opportunity in a million years. I cannot live my life without enjoying the sunshine. At one point, I wanted to be like you but I've been thinking and I now know, that your life is not meant for me. I wouldn't be happy never being able to see my family. You are my first love and I thank you for showing me what love is but I know I belong in the human world. I also know that I am not your mate. It is time for you to be happy and I don't think you will find that in a human. I want you to be happy, you deserve it," Bella said smiling.

Edward was stunned. This was what he had wanted. He had wanted Bella to wake up and see what the human world could offer, that he couldn't. He also knew that Bella hadn't been his mate but he would cherish the memories they shared. He and his family would look out for her from afar. They would make sure Bella had everything she could ever need.

"I will always love you Bella but I know you are right. Live your life," he said as they stood and embraced for the last time.

"Come see me when I'm old and grey and when I die, I'll look after you and your family," she promised smiling up at him.

"Goodbye, Isabella Swan," he said smiling before speeding away from his first love. He would never tell her, but the Whitlocks killed Victoria so she wouldn't have to live looking over her shoulder.

Back at the house, Bella was sad but happy at the same time. Losing your first love is never easy but she knew she would be okay. Later that evening when her father came home, she shared the news with her father. At first, he was angry that she kept it a secret from him but after he cooled off, he was proud of her. He knew Bella wasn't happy without sunshine in her life but at least he would see her on her breaks and every other holiday vacation.

Bella was never going to be happy in Forks and Charlie had known that. She took after her mother in that regard.

For the rest of the month, Bella had the time of her life with her friends but she also purchased her books and everything she needed. She also had enough money in her bank account for a condo and she knew the Cullens had been responsible. She wouldn't fuss because she understood that they didn't want her to worry about anything but her education.

Her father had been worried about the truck he had gotten her, so they sold it to a collector and used that money on the police auction for a blue Porsche SUV 2005. It drove like a dream. But the most surprising thing that happened before she left for school was she lost her virginity to Mike Newton. She had felt a connection between them and she didn't regret it.

When Bella left for school, the whole town threw her a going-away party to celebrate her achievement. When she pulled away from the house, she noticed an envelope in the passenger seat. When she opened it, it was the deed to the Cullen home and surrounding property. Inside was a letter explaining why she had gotten everything, they didn't want her worrying about anything and they knew she had wanted to build a business to bring in tourists, hunters, and fishermen.

The Cullen house was going to be torn down, and a hunting lodge/bed and breakfast were going to be built on the land. Bella may not want to live in Forks her whole life, but it was her hometown and she wanted everyone to prosper while she was away living her life. She loved the people in that town and she was going to miss them like crazy.

Chapter 2: Graduation

The last four years have been amazing. Bella enjoyed college life. It wasn't about the parties, which she did enjoy, but she was at her happiest in the sunshine. She was going to continue living her life in Phoenix, Arizona. Now, Bella thought her mother had sold their home when she moved to Forks in her junior year of high school, but her mother signed the deed over to Bella when she turned eighteen, and she had been stunned when she saw the house. Her mother and Phil had renovated the house and property and now it was twice as big. It was beautiful.

Anyway, Bella was graduating with her Master's in English, Journalism, Finance Management. Bella has always loved English Literature, and her dream was to become an author, and an editor, so she also decided on Journalism to help with that. Now, the financing was so Bella could manage her finances correctly. She also wanted to start an online finance business, so she could help other people. Bella has always loved to take care of people and this would allow her to help more people.

After the graduation ceremony, her parents took her to the most expensive restaurant in town, throwing her the biggest party she has ever seen with all of her Forks and La Push friends, along with the few college friends she made over the last four years. Bella has mostly kept to herself and concentrated on her studies. She never imagined finding love with the most unexpected man. Micheal Andrew Newton.

When Bella first moved in with her father, she didn't give Mike the time of day because he followed her around like a puppy dog. Then she started dating Edward, and no matter what she thought about another guy, Bella wasn't the type of woman that stepped out on her man. And even after Edward and his family left the first time around, Bella was too heartbroken and angry to move on to another guy. When they came back, Bella and Edward gave it another shot but while Bella had loved him, she wasn't in love with him any longer. He was her first love, and she would always have a place in her heart for him, but after Bella decided to accept the scholarship, she knew if she was meant for Edward, then she would never have left. It was the same for Edward because if he had loved her like he said he did, then he would have never broken up with her in the middle of the woods.

Anyway, Bella and Mike have been writing, texting, and face-timing for almost two years now. But they have also been traveling back and forth between Phoenix and New York City, where Mike attended Columbia University. When Mike had told her he received a full-ride scholarship to one of the best schools in the United States, Bella had been so proud of him. They had both wanted to get out of the small-town life. Anyway, Mike wanted to start another Newton's Outfitters, in Phoenix, Arizona, and Bella couldn't be happier. She wanted them to have a real shot and long-distance relationships didn't work sometimes because of different time zones and schedules.

So when Bella saw Mike at the party, she ran into his arms, throwing her arms around his neck, kissing him, not caring that her friends and parents are seeing her make-out with the man she loves. And like always, when he kissed her, the world faded away until it was just them. Mike pulled back before reaching up and cupping the back of her neck, pulling her closer by his hand on her lower back, flicking his tongue teasingly along her bottom lip. As her lips parted instinctively, he pulled her into a toe-curling erotic kiss. Their lips and tongues danced and teased, neither of them dominating the kiss, but weaving together as one. She whimpered, causing him to moan in return, then she sucked his bottom lip between her teeth. He growled softly, pulling her even tighter against him. They both moaned at the contact, breaking the kiss when they heard someone clearing their throat and laughing.

"That was a sexy as hell kiss but you need to break it up before your father passes out, Bells," Paul said smirking.

"Sorry dad," she said not even blushing. She refused to be embarrassed for kissing the man she loves.

"Sorry chief," Mike said but didn't release the hold on this beautiful, amazing woman that he loved more than anything.

"Don't let it happen again," he said gruffly as Renee smacked him and Phil around the back of their heads. Their little girl was grown up and in love, she didn't need to hide it from the world or them.

"How long have you guys been together?" Jake asked with his arms around Angela. He had imprinted on her when she came home for Christmas vacation her freshmen year of college.

"Two years this January," Mike said as Bella leaned back into his arms. No one has ever seen Bella this happy, even when she was dating Cullen. She could never relax with him, and she had to keep so many secrets. No one could deny that Bella had loved Cullen at one point, but he never made her this happy by being in the room but when she caught just a glance of Mike, her face lit up like the Fourth of July, and was running into his arms. It was great to see Bella so happy and in love.

"How did you guys begin dating?" Tyler asked.

"I ran into him, literally in New York City. I was on my Spring vacation," Bella said smiling.

"I'm happy for you baby girl," Renee said pulling her daughter into her arms. She was so thankful that Bella was happy with the right guy this time. While Edward had made her daughter happy to an extent, it never seemed like they were on the same wave-length, like she was seeing between Bella and Mike.

It took over three hours before her parents finally let everyone leave. Bella loved her family and friends but she wanted her time with Mike. It's been a little over two months since they've seen each other in person. They wanted to reconnect in private. And they have already called off work for the next week to give them time to move Mike into her home. That's why it's been a little over three months since they were together, aside from graduation, Mike was packing up his apartment, and shipping his belongings to Bella's house.

It was time to start their life together.

Chapter 3: Reuniting

After everyone left the party, Mike and Bella made their way home, but their need for each other was so great, that when they pulled into the driveway, they jumped each other's bones before they entered the house. Luckily, they have a privacy fence and gate, or they would have been arrested for indecent exposure.

But it didn't take them long to get home, and as soon as the door was shut and locked, Mike had her pressed against it as he devoured her lips, trapping her arms above her head. When her arms were free, Bella wound her arms around his neck as he slid his hand down her body, hitching her leg up on his hip, she jumped up wrapping her legs around his hips, smiling when she heard him moan when her center brushed against his manhood.

"God, you make me crazy," he said when they pulled away to breathe. She felt desire pool deep inside her in response. Her eyes fell closed, a slight moan slipping from her lips. Mike loved seeing her like this. He loved that he could affect her like this.

Cradling Bella in his arms as she wrapped her arms and legs tighter around his body, Mike carried her up the stairs to their bedroom. When they entered the bedroom, he stopped at the foot of the bed, and she unwrapped her body from his, sliding down his body, a moan slipping from her lips as her center slid along his manhood.

He stepped back a bit before slowly turning her around to face the bed as he gently moved her hair to the side of her neck, lightly kissing as he unzipped her dress and helping her step out of the dress as she toed off her heels and took off her jewelry. No matter how many times he had seen Bella naked, she still took his breath away. He kissed back up her body as he helped her out of her knickers and bra before turning her around to face him.

"You are stunning," he whispered smiling as she unbuttoned his shirt before sliding both his jacket and shirt off his body. She softly kissed down his chest before kneeling and helping him out of his jeans. She noticed he went commando, she thought it was sexy. She looked up at him before smirking as she licked the tip of his manhood.

"Fuck, no. Not yet. Tonight is about you," he said as he picked her up and gently laid her in the middle of the bed. He lightly brushed his fingers down her chest to her waist, her stomach sucked in, her breasts out, as she writhed in his arms.

He peered down at her as he gently cupped her breasts in his hand watching as she fell apart his arms and he hadn't even started yet. He loved how she was so responsive to his touch.

He leaned down gently suckling and nipping her breasts, before kissing down her chest to her center. He loved how sensitive she was to his touch. He gently pushed his fingers in and out of her, and licking and sucking her bundle of nerves until she climaxed for the first time that night.

"Mike," she cried as her body shook with aftershocks of her orgasm as he trailed kisses back up her body. He intertwined his figures with hers, placing her hands above her head, as he positioned himself at her center and he slowly entered her inch by exquisite inch. When he was fully seated inside her with their hips nestled together, he let out a ragged breath. He felt so good inside her, that she wiggled her hips a bit as she wrapped her legs around his waist. They both groaned, then he whispered, "You feel so good wrapped around me," he said trying to give her time to adjust as it as been a while since they were together, and he wasn't a small man by any means.

He slowly pulled back partway, then gently thrust, fully seating himself again. "God, don't stop Mike. You feel so good. Harder, please,"

He started at a decent pace, thrusting fully before pulling almost all of the way out. She was getting closer to another orgasm, and Mike said with a strangled voice, "God, I can feel your walls quiverin' around me, Bella. Let go and cum for me, my beauty,"

He thrust harder as he angled his hips, causing her to fall apart around him almost instantly, "Mike! So good. God!"

As she came back to herself, Mike had switched them around so she was on top of him. He groaned as he kissed down her neck to her chest, "Bella, you're absolutely the sexiest creature on earth..."

Then he thrust inside her to the hilt. When he grasped her hips, the feeling zinged more arousal through her system like a pinball game. She moaned loudly in response. "Ugh, God. I love your hands on me, Mike,"

He kept thrusting as she rode him harder and faster. She knew he was going to break her apart in all the best ways. She whimpered then panted, "Yes, Mike...God, you feel so good...I'm gonna cum, Mike...YESS!"

As her orgasm started, Mike growled loudly, saying, "That's it, baby, cum for me,"

Two more deep thrusts, then she felt him release inside of her as he stilled his movements. After a long moment, he kissed up her chest, to her neck, across her jawline, to her lips, before pulling away, then positioned them both on their sides without ever removing himself from inside her. They lay there for several moments, just enjoying the feel of each other.

Before too long, they drifted off to sleep holding each other through the night. Not even an hour later, they were making love again, and it lasted all throughout the night until the sky started to lighten. It felt amazing to finally know that they wouldn't be separating again. It was nice to finally have the chance to be together, knowing that they wouldn't be leaving each other again.
