I was so afraid at that moment in time that I froze. His tongue was inside my mouth and all I did was lay there. His hands were exploring my back. Then they moved to my stomach and began to move up my shirt. That's when I unfroze.

"Stop it" I tried to yell but it was only a muffle. I was able to wiggle myself away from underneath him and then I fell to the flooor.

"Bella, come back here" he said as he began to get off the couch. I just got up and ran. I heard him follow but I didn't stop which was stupid since I slipped and the only thing that kept me from falling over the banister was my hands that were holding the railing. I looked down to see that Alice and Rosalie were no longer in the living room.

"They went outside for a few seconds. They needed to go for a run since you were taking so long. They won't be back for fifteen minutes" Kail said as he reached the banister.

"Kail--please" I pleaded as I looked down. If I fell I would surely break my back. Kail grabbed my wrist, but instead of pulling me over he held me further away from the rail.

"KAIL" I screamed. He's a psycho.

"Bella, tell me you love me. Tell me you love me and you'll live" I looked into his eyes and was lost like I was the first time.

"No"

"What"

"I said no. I will never love you" he just smiled and he leaned over the railing so that his mouth was right next to my ear.

"The reason he won't change you is because he doesn't really love you. He's going to let you get old and die so that he can get a girlfriend that he actually loves. Not some pathetic human" and with that he released all of his fingers and I fell. The only thing I saw before I closed my eyes was Kail's smile getting further and further away. I braced myself for impact with the hard ground but it never seemed to come.


I opened my eyes to see that I was no longer falling. Instead I saw Edward's concerned eyes looking at me. His face was so full of anger that he didn't look like himself. He looked... frightening. He walked me over to the couch and set me down.

"Close your eyes and whatever happens, whatever you hear, I want you to keep them closed ok" he took my hands in his and looked at me with pleading eyes.

"Ok" I said with a half smile. He returned it and softly kissed my hands before placing them at my sides. I closed my eyes and he kissed my forehead.

Everything that happened after that seemed to go by so fast. I heard yells, screams, things breaking. I couldn't comprehend what was going on. They were at one part of the house one minute and then at another part the next. The house was filled with the sound of chaos and struggle and before I knew it... everything was silent.

I didn't open my eyes. Mainly out of fear of what I may find. I didn't even open them when I heard footsteps coming towards the couch. Nor when I felt an extremely icey hand on my shoulder. Only did I open them when I heard a voice.

Open your eyes Bella. It's ok. The voice in my head was the only voice that was audible. I obeyed and was face to face with my angel.

"Bella..." Edward's clothes were ripped and torn. His hair was a mess and his eyes were jet black.

"Edward..." he just sat down on the couch and put his face in his hands.

"He got away. That stupid coward ran and I didn't follow him. We got outside and he took off into the woods and all I could think about was getting back to you. I should've finished him off earlier when I had the chance" not once did he look up at me. I tried to get his attention but his face never left his hands.

"Edward..." he looked up at me and his eyes were full of hate. He looked like the monster that he said he was at that moment. But I wasn't afraid. "Edward, why won't you change me"

"You know why"

"Are you sure that's the real reason"

"Of course. What other reason is there"

"Well you could just wait out my life and when I die you could find another girlfriend. A vampire girlfriend. A girlfriend who could give you everything that I can't" I looked down at my hands at the thought that all I was saying was true.

"Bella" was all he could say. Tears began to fill my eyes and one escaped down my cheeck. He tried to wipe it away but I turned my head.

"Bella, there's no way in hell that that's the reason for me not changing you and you know that" he grasped hold of my chin and turned me towards him. I looked into his eyes and then looked away. It was to painful.

"I don't know anymore Edward. I really don't. I don't know what's going on in your head and you have no idea how scary that is. I really wish I could believe you Edward. I really wish I could" I didn't even need to look at him to know that he was in pain. I quickly got up off the couch and ran for the door, tears escaping my eyes and my heart feeling heavy.

I barely made it out the door when I felt his cold fingers wrap around my arm. I tried to break free from his iron grasp but it was useless.

"LET ME GO EDWARD" I screamed.

"Not until you talk to me"

"I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU"

"Bella"

"JUST LET ME GO EDWARD. YOU NEED TO LET GO" there was a double meaning to my words and I knew he got them when his grasp loosened.

"I'm sorry Edward. But this is goodbye. I'm sorry" I looked into his eyes and then I ran. I ran all the way to my house. Not once did I ever look back. I couldn't. It would only make me regret all that I was leaving behind.


Alice called me on my cell later that day and I told her I couldn't perform that night. She said ok and that she'd call the school to reschedule it. I thanked her and then hung up.
I avoided everbody the next few days at school. I sat with my other friends that I hadn't talked to in what felt like forever at lunch. Except I didn't really talk. I would just stair over at the Cullen's who were all going about their business as usual. Occasionally I would get a glance from them. I didn't mind any of them. Well, all except Edward's. His was the most painful to look at. His gaze held so much pain, suffrage, and sorrow. I couldn't look at him without wanting to cry.

"Are you ok Bella" Mike asked when he saw that my eyes began to water.

"Yeah. I'm fine" I said as I wiped my eyes with my sleeve.

"Ok"

I looked back over at Edward's table and they were all gone. All that was left was a note on the table. I got up and walked over to it. I picked it up and unfolded it.

Tonight. 7:30. Talent show. Gym.

Edward


That night I put on the outfit that Alice and Rosalie had picked out for our original last talent show. I looked at myself in the mirror and was disgusted. Disgusted at the fact that I had left the only person that had ever captivated my heart and let me captivate his. I couldn't even look at myself.

I heard Alice's car outside my house so I quickly ran down the stairs, tripping a few times, and then we were off to the school.


The parking lot was packed and it took us a good ten minutes to find a parking spot. Alice didn't speak the whole time we were in her car. I wanted to ask what Edward would be singing but I couldn't find myself to do it.

We walked inside and I saw a piano and two violins on stage. I looked at Alice but she never looked back at me.

She led me over to seats that were in the front row that were being held by Rosalie. I took my seat and it wasn't long before the lights dimmed and I saw the three boys walk out. Edward sat at the piano and Emmet and Jasper walked over to the two violins. I tried not to laugh as I saw Emmet pick up the violin.

Edward started playing the piano and then he started singing.

Another night goes by without sleeping
'Cause I know I won't wake up next to you
Another life goes by without dreaming
And I can't help but think that mine will too

I'm standing before you with this label on my head
I'm pleading before you for you to understand

Baby it's you
When I look up in the sky I see you
Then I turn and close my eyes
It's you
When I'm sitting all alone in my room
Everything reminds me of you

The time is slow and I am sinking
Into a hole blackened with lies
And though I made it myself
You stand watching as my life passes me by

I'm standing before you with this label on my head
I'm pleading before you for you to understand
How much I adore you
I'll be there till the end
When everything falls down
Will you hold my hand

Baby it's you
When I look up in the sky I see you
Then I turn and close my eyes
It's you
When I'm sitting all alone in my room
Everything reminds me of you

Baby it's you
When I look up in the sky I see you
Then I turn and close my eyes
It's you
When I'm sitting all alone in my room
Everything reminds me of you


so...what do you guys think? R&R. please and thank you.
