Bella's POV

The kiss ended softly. I pulled back needing to breath and kept my eyes closed as I tried to bring my pulse back to normal pace. As I drew in shaky breaths I felt Edward's lips kiss my eyelids, my nose, my cheeks, my neck, every surface he could reach, his icy lips brushed over sending ripples of ecstasy through my body.

When I opened my eyes slowly Edward's topaz depths gazed at me, willing every cell in my body to feel the love he had. I stared back ignoring everything around me. We were alone in our own little world. No one was there to shatter it, nothing was there to ruin it.

His protective arms lifted me gently around the waist and set me in his lap cradling me so I could rest my head on his broad chest reveling in the softness of the turtleneck he wore.

"Edward!" A female voice called from down the hallway making both of us jump slightly in surprise. Edward lifted me up with him as he stood and I got a look at possibly the most amazingly beautiful vampire I had ever seen. The beauty that this girl had surpassed Rosalie by a thousand.

Her jet black hair reached about her mid back curling slightly into perfect waves. The coal color of her hair was glossy and contrasted gorgeously with her perfect snow white skin. She wore long pants and a long sleeve green half jacket that stopped at about her curvy waist. A cream turtleneck was layered underneath looking to be of designer origin and probably the best cashmere. She smiled brightly and a slight pang of sadness swept through me as Alice's same cheery smile came to my mind's view.

A light pink brushed across her marble cheeks and a light gold dusted across her eyelids. Deep black and thick eyelashes framed large deep green eyes. Why were her eyes green? I asked myself, taken aback by the emerald that shown across the room. Was she not a vampire? No she had to be, every other aspect of her showed she was.

I unconsciously stepped back hitting Edward's chest. He chuckled lowly and wrapped his arm around my waist comfortingly.

"Tianna," He replied back to her. She smiled again and came prancing across the hall towards us.

She stopped about a foot away from me and extended her hand in greeting.

I reached a frail arm out to meet hers and yet another bright smile lit her gorgeous features. "Bella, I presume?" She said more announcing than asking. I nodded my head and forced a light smile. "You're even more beautiful than Edward described you!" She gushed pulling me gently from Edward's arms bringing me into a bone crushing hug.

A blush crept up on my cheeks listening to her tell me that Edward had said something concerning my looks. "Tianna? Tianna! She has to breath let her go!" Edward's voice ordered. I felt strong arms being pried from my back and I stepped back gasping for breath.

Tianna's eyes went wide. "I am so sorry! I forgot you are so delicate and all," She bit her bottom lip making her already full lips look even more pout-like.

"It's okay," I breathed smiling this time without effort. "I'm used to it," I laughed thinking of all the times Emmett had nearly crushed me.

Tianna and I both laughed, it took me a moment to notice Edward wasn't laughing, but merely standing watching us both looking rather uncomfortable.

"Oh, Bella it will be wonderful having you here!" Tianna gushed grabbing my hands in her tiny marble ones and jumping up and down. "My room is right next to yours!" I smiled and jumped a little too. Her overwhelming glee seemed to fill me as well.

"Tianna," Edward asked his voice almost stern. Her cheerful face turned serious at once before she whipped around to face him.

"Sorry," Tianna looked at the ground, almost the picture of a scolded child.

"We will talk in the kitchen. I am sure your hungry?" She nodded and clutched her stomach. More confusion filled my thoughts. She's hungry? What?

Tianna started dancing back down the hall towards the staircase happiness again filling the air around her. I watched as she turned the corner and couldn't help but smile. I liked her.

"Bella?" I looked up to see Edward staring at me standing directly in front of me. "I will be back in a minute okay?" I nodded and turned to walk back into my room. As I reached out for the gold knob Edward's hand grasped it instead. He turned me around and pulled me into him for a quick kiss.

Barely had enough time passed to respond before his lips left mine and he murmured a be right back before heading down the hallway.

I went back into my room and sat down on my fluffy bed, lying my head back on the hundreds of pillows.

I shivered involuntarily and turned around to see snow falling gracefully some flitting in to my room through my window. I walked quickly to the window and closed it, goose bumps erupting all over my skin from the chill.

Edward's words ran over and over in my mind sending waves of emotion through every pore of my body. How could I have run from him? How could I have left him like I did? How could I ever be with someone else?

I slipped underneath the layers of comforters and curled up hugging the silk sheets to my body. I loved Edward. The words came so easily, as if I had never second guessed them at all, they were there at the back of my mind every day. But I love Quil. I do. He helped me through so much. I can't leave him like I did Jacob. I can't let it end that way.

In the middle of my thoughts Edward came through my bedroom door. His eyes were on the floor as he walked towards my bed. When he reached the side of the mattress he turned and sat on the edge.

"Edward?" I asked reaching a hand out and laid it on his back.

He turned to look at me with a solemn expression painted on his face. "What's wrong?"

He lifted the side of the comforters and motioned asking if he could climb in. I smiled and nodded moving over slightly. He slipped under the blankets and I wrapped my arms around him cuddling to his side. "Edward?" I asked again when he didn't wrap his arms around me.

He rolled onto his side so he was facing me. "Bella, something's happened."

Fear shot through me. Something's happened? What does that mean? I nodded slightly motioning him to continue.

He took a slow breath and hugged him to me. "Bella, Charlie's dead." I could feel my breath coming in shorter and more ragged breaths. My sight began to blur and I could feel tears running down my cheeks, but I couldn't come to the realization that I was crying, it was just tears, no short breaths or sobbing, just tears.

"Oh Bella, I am so sorry, Quil just couldn't control himself." The sadness in my mind stopped short for a moment.

"Quil?" I asked unbelievingly.

"Yes Bella, when he found out you left he went to see Charlie and he got so mad he changed and attacked him." Now the sobbing started.

"He wouldn't!" I screamed beating against Edward's chest. "He wouldn't do that!" Tears and choked breaths made my words come out shaking.

"I'm sorry Bella," Edward whispered into my ear pulling me into his chest. I curled into a ball next to Edward and trembled through my bawling. Jacob now Charlie, what am I doing to the people around me?

After around an hour my tears had run completely dry, the moisture left on my cheeks, Edward kissed away. Tianna had brought in a cup of hot chocolate that was sitting still steaming on the bedside table.

I was exhausted. Every bone in my body ached with loss but I couldn't find the unconsciousness I searched for. Edward's strong body shifted next to me and sat up against the back of the bed pulling me into his lap so I was lying completely on top of him with my head in the crook of his neck.

His enticing smell soothed my body and soon my breathing was steady, although my thoughts were not. Memories of Charlie from my childhood flitted past my closed eyes like a movie. Regrets from past fights resurfaced making the lament I already had that much worse. I was drowning in depression the only thing that was holding my head above water was Edward's presence.

Another hour passed, brought to my attention by the chiming of the clock in the great room. I heard the quiet opening of my door ad soft footsteps across the room.

"How is she?" Tianna's voice rang through the room.

"She's okay, really tired." Edward responded. I felt the need to tell them it was rude to talk about someone like they weren't in the room but couldn't find the energy. So instead I just laid still listening to the bell-like sound of the voices.

Eventually Tianna left the room, leaving Edward and I alone once again. When the door clicked closed Edward's fingers started running through my hair that was surprisingly not tangly. I could hear him take deep breaths that he didn't need, but I knew he was merely inhaling my scent.

"Bella?" his voice made me search for the energy to respond but all I could return with was a muffled,

"Mmhmm?"

"Do you want to sleep?" He had pulled my body sideways so I was now cradled to him like a child. I nodded and reached down to pull the comforter farther up. Edward started moving me so I would lay back on the back but I protested holding tightly onto his shirt and wrapping my legs around his torso.

"You want me to stay?" His voice seemed apprehensive and surprised which I had to quietly laugh at. I nodded again and pulled myself back on top of him nuzzling my head on his chest.

His marble fingers traced random patterns on my back and I fell asleep in a not understandable mix of bliss and misery.
