EPOV
I heard the door open, but was met with an unfamiliar scent. My family must have sent someone else up to try to talk me out of my depression. It wouldn't be the first time. I didn't look up.
"Whoever you are, I don't want to talk to anyone. I know my family must have sent you here, but let me assure you that I don't need to talk to anyone. Please, go away." They didn't leave. I looked up to see the most beautiful sight in the world.
"Bella? What are you doing here?" I had so many questions for her, but I had decided to start with the easiest. She crossed the room and sat down in front of me. I shifted so I was sitting cross-legged. She matched me and we sat looking at each other for a moment before she spoke.
"I've missed you so much, Edward. Please don't be mad, but Alice came to see me about a week ago," that was where she went? I was wondering why she hadn't come up to bother me the last week. I assumed it was because she was still mad at me for out argument we had last time we spoke. That certainly explains why she was hiding her thoughts from me when she was here.
"She told me about what you have been like since you left. It sounds as if we were acting the same while we were apart. Is it really true what she says? Do you really still love me, and you left to protect me? If she was lying and you really don't love me anymore, then I'll just leave. But she sounded so sure, I had to see you." She stopped talking and looked up at me, as if unsure what to say next. How beautiful she is!
"Of course I still love you, Bella. I couldn't understand why you believed me. I was sure that you would call my bluff and forbid me to go. But I felt that leaving was the best thing for you. You were never safe with me, vampires intent on killing you, me craving your blood so much, not that I would have ever acted on that impulse. Which leads me to my next question, why do you smell so different?" I asked her, feeling like I was missing out on something important. She took a deep breath before speaking.
"When Alice came back, she said that it was pointless leaving me the way I was, because she knew it would happen eventually. She didn't want to give you the chance to leave me again. I can't believe you haven't noticed yet but, Edward, she changed me. I'm a vampire now."
BPOVHe looked at me like I had just spoken a different language. Did he really not notice that I was a vampire?
"Wh-what?" he stammered. "Why would she do that?" His words cut me; maybe he really didn't love me anymore.
"I'm sorry, Edward. If you don't want me here, I could just leave…" I trailed off; he didn't know how much that offer hurt me. After so long of not seeing him, I never wanted to leave.
"No! No, Bella, I don't want you to leave. I just don't understand why she would do that to you. I am so deeply sorry that you are damned to this life like the rest of us. Bella, I'm sorry. I should have paid more attention to Alice's thoughts. Had I known that she was going to do this-" I cut him off.
"Edward, stop. She offered to change me, and I accepted. It's not like she jumped me in the middle of the night and changed me against my will. I have wanted to be like you for a long time now, Edward. I thought maybe if I was strong and beautiful like you, then you would want me again." I realized how he would take what I said immediately after I said it. His reaction showed on his face.
"You did this so I would want you again? Why would you even think about doing something like that, Bella? You can't change back, you know! What were you thinking?" He was mad, that much was obvious. But was he really mad because he thought I gave up too much to be with him, or did he just not want me around forever. If I could have cried, I would have at that moment.
"I'm sorry, Edward," I almost whispered, "But I didn't do this just for you, though that is a big part. I can't live without you, Edward. I hope you can accept that." I looked up at him from under my eyelashes, his face became visibly softer, and he started to settle down. "I don't regret my decision. Please don't be mad at Alice."
"If you are truly happy, then I can accept this. Can you ever forgive me for leaving? I thought you could get over me, but I was obviously wrong. I love you Bella. Will you take me back?" he asked. How could I refuse him when he was dazzling me so, not that I would have anyways. I smiled and said, "Of course I would, Edward. I love you." He smiled my favorite crooked smile and pulled me onto his lap. He tilted my chin up until our lips where mere inches apart.
"I love you, Bella." He whispered, and before I knew it, he was kissing me with the most passion he had ever kissed me with. I was no longer breakable, and he no longer had to worry. We stayed in each other's arms for a long time before Edward said, "We should go downstairs. The family is anxious to see you. I smiled at him and we both stood up. We walked downstairs to see the eager faces of his family, my family.
