Authors Notes: Aww! I can't believe how many of you reviewed chapter 14, I am literally speechless. Thank you very much I really appreciate it- PLEASE DON'T STOP.lol The more I get the quicker I post.lol

Just wanted to tell everyone that I was listening to two songs when I wrote this. They are:

R.Kelly- Turn Back the Hands of Time.

Adele: Chasing Pavements.

They are both sad songs which I think reflect Edward's attitude, so if anyone wants to get into the mind frame I was in when I wrote this, please listen to the songs!

Edward's POV

I heard a gasp come from Alice's room and knew that she was having a vision. I opened up my mind to look through hers and an explosion sounded in my chest. My dead heart suddenly felt crippled, the pain was unimaginable. I let out a strangled sound, gasping for the air that was escaping me. Although it was entirely unnecessary for me to breathe, I felt panic at the sudden suffocation I was feeling from the images in my mind.

How could she do this to me?

I knew how. I had done the same to her. I had forced her to this. Jasper should know better though. He could so easily crush her frail bones and split her soft skin if he loses control.

Is this his payback? I will kill him!

I practically flew out my room and down the stairs but was stopped by Alice's beg from above. She was standing at the top of the stair case holding a picture in her hand.

"Please don't hurt him. It's our fault, we caused this."

"I can't just stand by and let her go!"

I slid to the floor and held my head in my hands. They rested against my knees which were bent and pulled close against my stomach and chest. There was an audience now. Esme, Rosalie and Emmett were standing in the living room watching mine and Alice's exchange with worried expressions.

"Edward," Alice began, "she agreed to it. You need to leave her be."

I looked up and saw her sit at the top of the stairs. She looked like a scared child and her expression tore at me. I broke down in front of my family; my mother rushing to comfort me while I sobbed like a baby in her arms. I'm sorry Bella, so sorry.

Bella's POV

Now that Jasper had left, I had some perspective to think. How did that happen?

I can't believe I let it get that far. I want my first time to be with Edward, that's all I have ever wanted. I want Edward to be my ONLY one! So why did I let it get so far?

I made myself a coffee and sat at one of the kitchen tables, lifting my legs up to my chest while I thought about my predicament. It was clear to me that before today all I had ever wanted was Edward. I had been content with him. I had decided long ago that I would take him anyway I could. I accepted the danger I posed to him and in turn the danger he posed to me because there was nothing I could do but accept it. He was my world. I would gladly give everything up for him. Yet, when I learned about his betrayal, he had slipped from the pedestal I had placed him on. In that moment I had lost both him and my best friend.

She hasn't even apologised.

I hated myself for wishing she would. I wanted to turn to her for advice but she was lost to me. Now I was left with her husband, almost crushing her in the same way.

Could I live with myself if I did that?

I wasn't sure if I could inflict such agony on another being like that. I just wanted to know that it would be alright.

I wanted my friend and I wanted my soul mate but they were gone. I didn't know if I should call for their return.

Edward's POV

After my outburst in front of my loved ones, I busied myself by entering the woods. I came to the meadow which I had brought Bella to and curled myself into a ball on the ground. I couldn't believe she could forget me so easily. I knew I had hurt her and that what I did was unforgivable, but still the thought ruined me. I desperately wanted to talk to her but what would I say? 'Do anything interesting this afternoon...do anyone?' The laugh I let out at the notion sounded harsh to my own ears.

I missed her; it felt like I was struggling to move through a loss of limbs. She completed me. She made me whole. I stood slowly, and made my way through the trees. The meadow seemed empty without her; a vacant abyss only she could fill. I picked up my pace to a sprint and then fell into a run. Leaving greenery and animals a blur, I found myself standing outside a safe which held a precious gift.

Walking forward I saw that Charlie's cruiser was not parked and searched the house for any sign that he was there. Jasper had already left; there were no thoughts from him. I could smell his scent however, which was almost territorially surrounding the bricks.

I lifted my shaking fist and knocked loudly on the door; it sounding more authoritative than I had meant. I felt fear spread throughout my body. I didn't know whether I could stand to see her looking dishevelled, her hair messed with a healthy glow in her cheeks which I knew would have been caused by him.

I began to turn away when I heard the door open. I kept walking; too afraid to turn back to her, only stopping when I heard her call my name.

"Edward." It sounded desperate and I had no choice but to turn to her. She didn't have a healthy glow, she looked pale-almost sick as she leant on the door for support. The limited amount of blood I had left in me since my human days, suddenly came to life and boiled inside; igniting my fury. I took two long steps toward her and gripped her upper arms gently, pulling her away from the door.

"Did he hurt you?" I snarled. She looked at my face in disbelief and shook her head; no.

"How do you know?" She looked so ashamed, standing before me; not struggling to leave my hands. I let her go anyway and moved away from her. Her response confirmed what I had seen earlier. Although I knew Alice's vision was right, I had still hoped and prayed that it was a mistake. I lifted my eyes to the sky, refusing to look at her.

"I saw you. Alice had a vision." She gasped in shock put her hand to her mouth, tears spilling from behind her closed eyes and dark lashes.

"I'm so sorry."

I looked at her then and wanted to take her in my arms. I knew that what she had done was because of me and I knew that I could forgive her anything. The realisation hit me and with no logical thought I walked forward and wrapped my arms around her; wanting to take her guilt and add it to mine. I held her for a long time like this; standing on her porch, listening to her soft cries. I was about to pull away when her sobs diminished but she held me tight and I knew that no amount of persuasion would force me to break my hold on her.

I had missed her body against mine. The smell of her hair was the sweetness smell I had ever had the privilege to know. As I stood there; I memorised the feeling of her warmth, her smell and the feel of her body because I understand the possibility that this would be my last chance.

We were interrupted suddenly by a loud growl to our left. I looked up fast, placing Bella protectively behind me and saw Jasper; his stance showing he was ready to attack. I mirrored his movements and a rage filled growl came from within my chest.
