A/N: this may be confusing, but it is 5 years after Bella broke up with Nick. She hasn't seen the Cullens or the Rameriz since then. And just to tell you, this is the end of this story. Unless I make a sequel or epilogue.

Chapter 18

----- 5 years later-----

I was in my room in the college in Phoenix, Texas. I came back here after I broke up with Nick. I couldn't stay at Forks since it held too many memories of Edward and Nick.

I haven't seen Edward since the day he saw me kissing with Nick, and I haven't seen Nick since I broke up with him.

----Flashback 5 years ago----

Days past, weeks past, and months past since I saw Edward. His heart broken face still tortured me. Whenever I close my eyes, I saw Edward's painful face and it tortured me everytime. I couldn't forget about him even after months passed.

I knew it wasn't right to keep on ignoring him.

I made up my mind after 6 months had past to finally talk to Edward. I got in my truck and headed for his house. It was so nice and painful at the same time seeing the streets that I used to always visit.

Finally, I found the Cullen's house and parked it near it. I got out my truck, my heart pounding so fast, thump, thump, thump.

I walked slowly toward the door. Finally, I got the guts to knock on the door. I knocked few soft ones, then few loud ones, but no one answered it. I tried the knob and surprisingly, it was unlocked.

I twisted it slowly, as my heart thumped even more faster and harder. I was afraid that it might pump out of my chest.

I opened the door and stood there, looking at the empty house. I saw nothing, not even a single furniture.

I fell on my knees and started to sob. I sobbed and sobbed until it was impossible for a tear to roll down my cheek any longer.

I stood up, wiping my tears away. I knew I couldn't do anything about it anymore. I let this happen. I let Edward suffer.

I headed to my car. I opened the door and saw a piece of paper lying on the seat. I picked it up and looked at it. At once I knew the beautiful handwriting belonged to my angel. I felt tears come down my cheeks. I was so sick and tired of crying. But this time, it was different.

Dear Isabella Swan,

You have finally got the courage to come to my house to see me.

But unfortunately, I can no longer see you anymore.

We have decided to leave Forks to start our new life.

Please forgive me for all the selfishness I made you go through and the pain that I caused you.

I will never forget about you, ever.

Please have a wonderful life.

Just remember that I will always love you.

Forever.

From, Edward.

------End of the Flashback-----

Edward and his family left me to start a new life. I tried to start a new life in Forks, but failed, so I moved back to Phoenix. All my friends were glad to see me back.

Although I felt sorry for Charlie for leaving him alone, I think it was better that I came back to Phoenix.

Then I felt my cellphone in my jeans pocket vibrating.

I picked up, "Hello?"

"………" I didn't hear anyone; I just heard sobbing on the other line.

"……..," (more sobbing) "…. Bella….." someone whispered.

I recognized the voice at once.

"Mom!"

(Few minutes later)

I dropped the phone. "Bella! Bella!" I heard my mom calling on the other line, but I didn't bother to pick it up. I was too shocked.

"No….. it can't be. He can't be dead..."

-------2 days later--------

I got out of the taxi and stepped out onto the fields of grass.

"Bella!" someone called and I looked around to see my mom running toward me.

She hugged me tightly.

"Mom… it good to see you too… OW," I said as she choked me.

"……Bella..." she sobbed.

"Mom… it's okay," I said and hugged her back.

The funeral started and I saw Mike, Jessica, Jacob, Billy, and other people that was friends with either me or Charlie.

Then it was time to give the flowers.

In few minutes, it was my turn and I walked toward. I saw Charlie lying there pale, pale as Edward. I started to sob as I placed the flowers on him.

The funeral ended, and I said bye to my mom and other people I knew.

I sat there where they buried him and stared at his name on the stone. I just sat there until I saw a figure coming this way.

I looked up and saw him in tuxedo walking this way with a smile across his face and flowers in one of his hand and the other in his pocket.

(Someone else's POV)

I walked toward where Charlie was buried and I saw a figure sitting next to it.

I realized at once that it was my beautiful Bella.

She looked up and saw me. She slowly stood up. She looked even more beautiful than what I remembered. She was wearing a black strap-less dress that went down to her knees. Her hair was long and wavy that went to her hip.

"Edward…." She whispered softly.

Tears slowly rolled down her cheeks and she started to sob.

Then she came running toward me calling out my name over and over again.

She tripped over a rock but I caught her just in time in my arms. It was so nice to have her soft body back in my arms. The smell of her hair (strawberry) flushed across my face as her hair swayed by my face.

I hugged her tightly in my arms and kissed her on her forehead. I kissed her from her forehead making my way to her cheeks by kissing and finally getting to her lips. I gave her a soft kiss.

It was so nice to be able to touch her soft, warm lips again. I broke apart and Bella whined. I chuckled and gave her a passionate kiss.

"Bella, it's so nice to see you again," I said. So nice didn't explain it. Although I had years of learning English, I still didn't know any words that would describe how nice it was to see her again.

She pulled away and said, "Edward, I missed you so much. I regretted so much of what I done 5 years ago. I never should have gone to Nick and I acted like a jerk to you. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, Edward…" she said as she started crying.

I kissed her on the cheeks to wipe her tears away.

"Bella, it's not your fault. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have been with Megan at all. I loved you more than anything and I still do," I said and kissed her passionately again.

"We're equal then," she said and smiled.

"Bella, I want you to meet someone," he said and pulled me and started running toward the cars.

I finally saw 6 figures standing. It was Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Esme, and Carlisle. I grinned and went running toward them. Alice came running and she welcomed me back with a biggest hug I ever had. Then everyone came and we all did a group hug.

Everything was back to normal and we lived happily ever after.

A.N: I AM SO, SO SORRY THAT THE LAST SENTENCE IS LIKE REALLY BAD! AND THAT THE LAST PART HAD LACK OF DETAILS, BUT… don't worry, I'll write an epilogue to this story of what happens after this with more details. And maybe a sequel too, with the one where Megan comes back…. I don't know… should i? Please tell me if I should write a sequel/… and please review how the story was……
