(Ugh.. Wirter's block much? I have had so much difficulty coming up with the next chapter. Well, here it is.)

Edward's arms wrapped tightly around me as I laid on the bed. Of course they soothed me, but I was still filled with anger, annoyance, confusion... Jasper was probably going to have a stroke what with all the emotions radiating from me. I stayed curled up in a ball, wishing I could go back in time.

"Bella... how you forgive me for these awful things I put you through, I'll never know. I do love you with all my heart, my soul... I hope you can still believe that. But I don't blame you if you don't."

Hmm. Did I believe it? Of course I loved him; that was how I kept on forgiving him. For getting me involved with a tracker trying to kill me, for making me choose my boyfriend over my best friend, for leaving me, for almost hurting me... but all of that seemed like nothing while I snuggled into his chest, breathing in his sweet, delicious scent and looked deep into his beautiful topaz eyes. And while I looked at them, it was impossible not to believe that he really, truly loved me. I smiled.

"Edward, even if you didn't love me, I'd still forgive you... because I love you more than life itself. Which I proved to you... and I never have any regrets. Sometimes I miss Charlie, Renee... but you complete me, you make my life whole. I'd rather spend a minute with you than a lifetime with anybody else." I said, my voice breaking.

He pulled me in closer and kissed the top of my head. "Bella, I swore never to make you sad, never to leave you, and to always protect you. I meant every world of that on our wedding day. Do you realize I've broken every single vow?"

"But you also said you loved me. You haven't broken that one," I reminded him. "Edward, my world would be broken without you. There would be no point to even trying anymore if you ever left. You're the one thing that keeps me going when I have nothing left to hold onto." My voice broke again, and I was crying without tears. I looked up, and his face was filled with pain and love. I hated going all cheesy-romance on him, but it was the way I felt... and I felt no need to hide it.

"Bella.. You are more than I deserve. I will do everything I can to make you happy. And if me staying makes you happy, then I will. Even if it goes against my better judgement. I love you, and I hope that that will be enough to get us through anything... because I will be willing to do anything to stay with you forever."

I sighed and pulled away from him. His face, his voice, his scent... it was all too much. He was beautiful, my own personal angel. He thought he wasn't good enough for me, but I thought it was quite the opposite. He was beautiful, and I don't know how he thought he loved me more than I loved him. It was impossible.

"I think we should go hunt," I murmured, breaking the beautiful silence. Much as I would love staying there forever, I really was getting quite thirsty.

"And I thought only I could read minds," he said with a laugh before getting up. He pulled me onto my feet and grasped my hand tightly before we went downstairs to invite the rest of the family to come with us.

After Edward and I were done, we hurried back before the others. Edward didn't realize the hurry, and he was pretty much dying of curiosity while I pulled him up the stairs to our own suite.

"You know what else I've missed?" I said seductively has I pulled him into our room.

"Ah, yes, I've missed that too," he murmured and smiled my favourite crooked smile. He laid down on the bed with me beside him, and I giggled once before he pulled his lips to mine.

(Ok.. Another short chapter. I'm really sorry. But my life isn't so great right now...personal reasons. Thanks for understanding. Please review!! Thank you guys again. Xoxo-L)
