Edward's point of view…
I felt my forehead crease as I frowned at the road ahead. My house was near and I wished with all my might that Bella would change her mind. To see Bella suffer for those three days would be so heartbreaking and I wouldn't be able to do anything. Why does it have to come to this? Only if I had died that 100 years back… Having Bella lose her soul in front of my eyes, even imagining her living hell the way I did every day seemed so…so…
I rubbed her hand with my thumb, leaving a cold spot on the back of her hand. She looked up at me and I could tell she was scared, her eyes seemed so excited yet filled with fear. I gazed at her for just a moment, ignoring the road that passed by me oh so slowly.
"Bella." I whispered her name.
She looked up at me from her seat; she was trying to look brave as she held my hand to her maximum strength.
I smiled at her, entertained by her act of bravery. She always seemed to try and hide her fears, maybe that's why I loved her, or was it her sweet scent that burned my nose?
"What?" She crinkled her brow in confusion after I stared at her for a long moment.
I thought for a moment, trying to come up with an excuse for her to stay human.
"You know if I change you…" I paused, making sure she was listening. "If I change you, you'll be putting my family in danger. Don't you think its best you stay human, I love you the way you are."
Bella didn't respond, she just lowered her head and began to gaze at my hand that was in hers.
"I know you love me, but being human isn't enough for me." Bella said slowly.
"What about Jacob?" I grimaced as I said his name. That boy irritated me, and to think I was using him as an excuse.
"He won't miss me." Bella's voice trembled. "Besides, you can change me in Antarctica and he won't know that way."
"What about Charlie? Your mother? What of them?" I gritted my teeth.
"Will you stop it?" I was surprised at her sudden anger, though I should have expected it. "I know you're trying to stop me but I already made up my mind."
