"NO!" Edward finally spoke. Angrily. "No, you will not leave, this is your home. We made our decision already. Bella you can't keep blaming yourself for this, It's not your fault, people change their minds." He was perplexed by everything. " Edward, before I leave. I'd like to ask you for a favor, if it's not too late." Till now, Edward looked bewildered and shocked. But now he was crouching onto the ground with his hands over his face, shaking his head. He was whispering something too low for me to clearly hear. But I mad out the words... this is wrong.... "Edward. If you ever did care for me. Then you would do this for me." Hopefully this will persuade him. But nothing happened. He stood lifeless, as ever. I was becoming impatient. "Edward. Answer me. please...? "

He only nodded, with his face still in his hands. I began. "Please, tell your family I'm sorry. Tell Charlie and Renee that I'm sorry, and that I truly did try. Tell Alice, that she has been the bestest friend anyone could ever ask for. Apologize to everyone. Especially Alice." Edward finally had his face out of his hands. He began to stand, with the most panicked face I'd ever seen. Still beautiful though. Always radiant, exquisite. Always pulchritudinous. Nevermore will I see this godlike face.

"Bella, stop this. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I Love you. You know I will always love you. Regardless of anything. I was only trying to protect you." He took me into his arms, caressing my wet cheek with his cold thumb. I could feel his stiff, godly body touching mine. I wanted no more than this feeling. But it's too late now. I have made my decision." Edward, please." I pushed him away, tears still streaming down my face. This is the most formidable decision I will ever have to face. "Edward, I know that you never loved me, but it's too late for regret... now. I have made... my decision. There is no turning back now. You can't take back your words. I'm dead already." Edward held me close to him, ignoring my fits to get away. He took my face in his hands again.

"Bella, please understand. I... Love you. Always and Forever." I put my lips to his ears. "Forever." I whispered. I turned to his face. I briefly kissed his stone cold cheek. "Goodbye Edward..." I whispered once more. I turned to face the open world, with the bravest, cowardly feeling. "Bella…" he sadly whispered. I didn't turn toglance back. Oh! How I just want to turn around and throw myself into his arms, and beg him to take me back. Stop being a coward, Bella. Turn to him. He loves you. Go to him. That was the first time I hadn't listened to my self conscious. I kept walking, not gracefully as I wanted to. But then something blocked my way. And I felt someone's cold arm grip my waist. Edward. He tugged me to his body. He was stroking my hair. From top to bottom. His thumbs at the same time, were wiping my tears from my face. "I will never let you fall. I will stand up with you ... forever. I'll be there for you through it all. Even if saving you sends me to heaven." an angel singing in my ear. "I'll always love you Bella... forever. And I'll show you." Edward held me closer. He gently kissed my forehead, moving down slowly, kissing every inch of my face stopping towards my lips.

"I'm sorry, baby, but this is the only way" He whispered, moving his lips on mine. This kiss was ravishing. Delicious. Nothing would be better than this. He held my face firmly in his hands, pushing me to him, more and more. I was still in place. Although my hands and lips were moving continuously to the beating of our hearts. His lips tasted mine thoroughly. I wanted him more than anything. I never had this feeling before. I wanted to devour his luscious lips, his lavishing scent, I wanted his godly body. When he stopped, we were both breathing heavily. He placed his forehead on mine; his breath on my skin was overwhelming. I couldn't think straight. Everything I felt before vanished. No trace of my former decision lingered in my mind, body, or soul. I heard an angel whispering my name. Edward. My Guardian angel. My protector. He bent his face to mine we both dazed in each others eyes longingly. When he spoke it was bliss. "Promise me you'll stay. please ... stay." I nodded. Of course, I couldn't walk away now. Too much has happened today. The best part of my life returned. "This is heaven, and you are my... angel." I whispered in his ears. "I love you." We both whispered at the same time. After that we both laughed. He loved me. He truly... loved me! Edward bent his face, lips to the hollow of my throat. "Bella, I want you ...FOREVER"
