I looked out the window, it was almost twilight, I don't know why but it had always attracted me. I got up and pulled on my coat and shoes and headed for the door.
"Bella? Where are you going?" I jumped at the sound of Zaden's voice.
"Oh God! Zaden, can't you tie a bell around your neck or something." he let out a chuckle and then repeated his question.
"I'm going to the roof to watch twilight. I won't be long I promise."
"Want me to keep you company?"
I smiled sincerely but told him no. He was a little reluctant, but soon caved.
I got to the roof and looked over the edge at all of the people and cars going by. They were oblivious of my presence but I was well aware of theirs. I leaned back on the ledge and watched the day melt into the night, in a sweet array of red, orange, gold, and faint purple. The end of another day.
I thought about what had happened today, nothing really seemed to keep my attention until I remembered what Zaden had said.
"You were very calm and optimistic. No matter what happened, no matter how tragic, you always got through it even when you were heavily broken."
What got me so heavily broken, and why did he look so pained by it. I reveled on the thought for a while until Heavily Broken played over in my head. I giggled lightly realizing that coincidently that was the title of my favorite song. I closed my yes and sang quietly to myself.
Everyday I sit here waiting
Everyday just seems so long
And now I've had enough of all the hating
Do we even care, it's so unfair
Any day it'll all be over
Everyday there's nothing new
And now I just try to find some hope
To try and hold onto
But it starts again
It'll never end
I'm heavily broken
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see that I'm choking
And I can't even move
When there's nothing left to say
What can you do
I'm heavily broken
And there's nothing I can do
Almost giving up on trying
Almost heading for a fall
And now my mind is screaming out
I've gotta keep on fighting
But then again
It doesn't end
I'm heavily broken
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see that I'm choking
And I can't even move
When there's nothing left to say
What can you do?
I'm heavily broken
And there's nothing I can do
And there's nothing I can do
Feels like I'm drowning
I'm screaming for air
(Screaming for air)
Louder I'm crying
And you don't even care
I'm heavily broken
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see that I'm choking
And I can't even move
(What can I do)
When there's nothing left to say
What can you do
I'm heavily broken
I'm heavily broken
And I don't know what to do
Can't you see that I'm choking
And I can't even move
When there's nothing left to say
What can you do
I'm heavily broken
I opened my eyes to see a dark starry sky. I closed my eyes once again as I turned to face the ground below. I inhaled the night air hoping to take it's sweet scent with me; but when I did I inhaled a sweet scent. It was intoxicating, dazzling. I felt my knees wobble as I clutched the ledged to keep myself steady not like it would help much, because little did I know that the next voice I heard would blow me away

We had stayed there until twilight neared. Jasper and Skyler came around the corner and I stepped out of the car.
"Well I think it would be our best bet if we moved in here for a while. To keep an eye on her at least."
"I don't get it. Why would she be here? I mean we were watching her walk down the street with groceries in the daylight, stumbling like always and blushing whenever she did. That's anything but vampire. But yet she's living here. I seriously doubt all of them are vegetarians and in 100 control." said Raina placing her hands on her hips.
I leaned back onto the hood of the car and closed my eyes. A swift breeze blew through the air and I was taken back by the scent of it. Strawberries and freesia.
I snapped my eyes open and looked upward. And there she was in all her beauty. The light from twilight was bouncing over her and it only added to her radiating magnificence.
"Guy's go get us rooms." I didn't take my eyes off her for a second before I darted off into the building.
What the- what is, is that Bella?
I could hear them thinking. I could hear their footsteps as they hurried after me but I just ran.
I reached the roof. I stood in the doorway and took in her beauty. She was singing lightly, her hair blowing in the breeze sending her scent rushing at me like a train. She was so close. Finally after a year, Bella was in front of me. She turned around and looked off the edge once the song was done. I lifted my feet and urged them forward. A breeze blew past me, and Bella stiffened. Probably from a chill, I mean she couldn't smell me.
"Bella?"
She turned around quickly. I smiled my crooked smile until I saw fear in her eyes. A small growl emitted from her throat that made me stop in my tracks. As soon as my smile disappeared the look vanished from her eyes as she stepped towards me. I looked into her beautiful eyes but noticed something different. Golden flecks through out them created a collage of colors.
"You would take away her warmth for your own selfish wants?"
"You know as well as I that with my gift she could still have that."
"Your gift? You have never truly used it. How can you pick one characteristic of hers? The fact that you think you can pick out what you like the best about her to keep it, show's you don't really care about her."
I took in a deep breath. Bella was- she was-
"You can't be one of us can you" I asked stroking her warm rosy cheek. She closed her eyes and placed her tiny hand on top of mine. When she opened her eyes, topaz over took the chocolate as she breathed in. A hint of desire and longing in her eyes, she dragged her hand from mine, which was resting on her cheek, until her hand was around my neck.
"I can." She whispered pulling my face towards her lips in a moment of pure bliss.
The kiss started innocent like the others we had, but then I couldn't hold back. I snaked my arms around her waist and pulled her to me. I opened my mouth slightly and so did Bella.
She slid her hands upward so they tangled in my hair as our tongues tangled. I could feel her warmth pulsing from her as her hands traveled from my hair to my chest. I pulled her against me more. I didn't want to let her go.
I heard her take in a sharp intake of breath as she pushed out of my grasp. I was surprised that she was still as weak as she was when she was human. She stared at me with her wide topaz eyes and then she winced and closed her eyes. She looked in pain.
"Bella?" I asked extending my hand to her. Her eyes opened revealing chocolate with hardly any flecks again. The same look in her eye as before, blatant fear, over took not only her eyes, but everything else as well.
"Who are you?" her voice grew panicked as she backed away from me into the corner.
"It's me Edward. Bella what's wrong?"
"I don't know you!" tears flew to her eyes as she backed towards the corner.
"Bella calm down." Said Jasper. He stared at her intensely tending calm waves through her.
For a second, relieve took her over, but what happened next was unbearable.
Bella doubled over clutching her head screaming. She collapsed to the ground in a fetal position holding her head. Her screams blended with her cries as tears cascaded down her face.
"Bella! Jasper what are you doing?"
"I sent calm through her I don't know what is happening. I can't feel her pain though! I should be but I'm not! What the hell is going on?"
I pulled Bella too me and held her tight as she screamed into my shoulder. her tears soaking my shirt as she clutched it tightly.
Seconds later her body went limp in my arms. For a second I almost freaked, but I noticed her chest rising and falling.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO HER EDWARD?" I turned to see Zaden. His voice revealed that he was angry, but his eyes showed that he was scared.
I brought Bella back to her room and laid her onto her bed; Zaden watching me carefully. As soon as I pulled the covers over her tiny shoulders, I turned around and my fist said hello to Zaden's jaw.
He flew out into the front room and then ran back at me knocking me down. I rolled over and punched him in the face.
"Where did you go Zaden? Why did you run away with her?"
"Why do you care you said you didn't want her! You told her not to wait remember? Well guess what, she didn't actually she forgot you completely!" I grabbed the collar of his shirt and lifted my hand to punch again when calm spread through me.
"Damn it Jasper!" I snarled releasing hold of Zaden's shirt.
"It wasn't me!" he said bewildered.
Just then I smelt the sweet scent I love and turned to see Bella calmly, in the doorway.
