A/N . I am very grateful for you guys. The reviews that you were sending really gave me the push I needed. Now, I'm apologizing for two things, the first is that there was something wrong with ff, they didn't send me an email whenever I got a review so I didn't know how to reply, so I'm sorry for replying late and I'm sorry if I didn't reply at all. As for the second reason, I'm sorry for taking so long to update, I just didn't feel that this chapter was good enough to publish but I decided to put it anyway. Hope you like this one.

Chapter 7: I love you

"What?!" Edward growled once Bella finished explaining what Jacob told her. Edward in his anger punched the chair that was beside him, the chair collapsed into a hundred pieces on the floor, "I'll kill him. I swear I'll kill him this time" Edward shouted in anger. Bella looked at him terrified. Alice started calming him down.

"Calm down Ed. Bella is here with us, he can't do anything to her" Alice told him calmly. Edwards hand squeezed Bella's hand in anger. He didn't seem to notice he was holding it, Bella's hand started to hurt as he tightened his grip, her bones were about to be crushed.

"Edward!" She gasped, he looked at her pained face, "My hand"

"Oh" Edward said loosening his grip, "Sorry" he said not looking at her. Bella looked at Edward with concerned eyes.

"What is it? There is something else bothering you" Bella said quietly. She always knew how Edward was feeling by just looking into his eyes. Edward didn't look at her.

"Nothing, I'm just angry" He said quietly looking around him, he seemed like he was trying to avoid her gaze, but then unintentionally their eyes met. His eyes were full of sorrow, pain, confusion, and anger. Bella raised one eyebrow. She knew that he was hiding something.

"What's wrong?" She said putting one hand on his face. He closed his eyes at her touch, it seemed to have relaxed him a bit. He put his free hand on the hand that was on his face. He leaned his head on it for a while. She didn't know how long they sat like this without moving but she was unwilling to move her hand and apparently so was he, but then he decided opened his eyes smiling at her, "Thank you" he whispered with a smile.

"For what?" She asked confused.

"For making me feel so warm" Edward whispered to her. She blushed with a smile, his smile widened when she blushed.

"I just love it when you blush" He chuckled, she blushed even more.

"Where's Esme to see this?" They heard Carlisle's voice from the corner of the room. Bella looked at him, he was sitting on a small couch in the corner. She didn't realize he was there until he talked and apparently so were Alice and Edward.

"I didn't know you were here, I thought you left ages ago" Edward told him with a surprise on his face. Carlisle chuckled.

"Well, that's what happens when you concentrate on one person and forget the rest that are in the same room" He said with a smile looking at Bella. Edward looked back at her with his breathtaking smile.

"She accuses me of dazzling her, but all I see here is that…" He took her face in his hands and brushed her cheek with his finger tips, "She's dazzling me" He whispered. She smiled and if possible blushed more. Her cheeks were hot and her heart was pounding fast. She was sure he heard her heart because his smile touched his eyes. Carlisle laughed.

"We have to tape this for Esme" He laughed and so did the rest. Edward left Bella's face and held both her hands in his. He looked at Carlisle with a more serious look.

"So you heard what Jacob told her" Edward told him. Carlisle nodded.

"James won't stop till he get his revenge" Carlisle told Edward quietly, "That's the first problem we'll try to solve but as for the other…" He said looking at Edward, "It's yours" Edwards serious face turned to a pained one. His hand stiffened in Bella's. He didn't look at Bella. He kept his eyes locked with Carlisle's eyes. After a while he turned to look at Bella. And for the first time since Bella first seen Edward she saw a tear in his eye. An actual tear she didn't imagine it. It was really there.

"If I left will it be solved?" He asked Carlisle but looking at Bella. Bella's heart sank in her chest, oh no he's trying to talk himself into leaving me again, but what's the reason this time? Bella thought in panic. She looked at him with a terrified face.

"What?" She whispered. He didn't answer.

"I can't tell you that for sure Edward" Carlisle said quietly.

"Alice?" Edward said still looking at Bella.

"I dunno" Alice whispered. Edward closed his eyes.

"What about the spell?" Edward asked with a broken voice. Bella's heart was about to come out of her chest, this time he was leaving for real. She felt it. Before Carlisle could answer Bella interrupted.

"I'll die" She said quickly her voice breaking. She felt her face flooding with tears. He opened his eyes and looked at her, "If you left me I'll die. I won't be able to bare you being away from me" She said squeezing his hand. That made Edward the pain on Edward's face increase. He still didn't talk to her.

"Carlisle?' Edward's broken voice said with almost a whisper.

"I'll do my best to keep her at this level." She heard Carlisle's sad voice. Edward closed his eyes again and nodded. Bella panicked.

"No" She cried, "What happened Edward? Tell me. Maybe we could fix it, but please don't leave me" She said crying hard holding his hand with all her strength. Edward opened his eye and leaned forward to her face.

"I'm sorry" He whispered to her, "As much as it pains you, it pains me. But it's for your own good." He whispered with pain. He held her face and slowly he kissed her forehead. Then he looked at her for the last time with her face in his hand. Their eyes locked together.

"Please, Edward. Please. Don't do this to me" She pleaded her face extremely wet now. But she didn't convince him, "Don't leave me" She whispered shaking badly.

"I'm sorry but I have to do this" Edward told her quietly trying to hide his pain but failed.

"Tell me what happened, maybe I could find another way." Edward shook his head.

"There is no other way" He said the pain now clear in his voice. She cried harder, "I love you" He whispered starting to stand up, his hands were starting to part away from her face. She quickly held one.

"I love you" She whispered with a shaky voice, "but please Edward" She started to plead again. She made this harder for Edward. It was like being tortured to death. She pressed her lips to his palm and then looked at him for the last time before he turned his back on her and walked to the door. He turned around to look at her. She got out of her bed to go after him but once she did she collapsed on the floor. Her legs were unable to carry her. He was going to run back to her but he held himself. Alice and Carlisle rushed to her side to lift her back to bed but she protested. She wanted to try and prevent Edward. She looked at him crying hard. He looked at her for the last time before he opened the door and walked out of it, shutting it after him.

"No" She cried after him, "Please come back. Edward" And that was the last name she said before she fainted.
