Thank you for all of your reviews! I'm so sorry I haven't updated! I've been in Florida!

(EPOV)

My mom and dad had to go because they had to find a place to spend the night. They didn't want to sleep with us because I wouldn't be there, I would be with Bella.

Carlisle called me into his office. Esme followed and sat beside me silently."Edward, your parents want to take you to live with them," he began. Immediately, I tensed. Leave my family here? Leave Bella?

"I know you would have a problem with it," Carlisle continued," so I asked them for a couple days to consider the situation."

I tried to be polite, and keep my voice under control. "Um…I don't want to leave you; I don't want to leave Bella. This is my life. Just because my parents come after about a hundred years, and want me to live with them? They don't even have a proper house! They aren't 'vegetarians' "I shouted. " I am not leaving!!"

While I was ranting, the rest of my family, including Bella came into the room. Bella crept to my side, and I held her securely, never wanting to let go. This was my life, and I was determined to keep it. I would never leave Bella; I would miss her soft skin, her smell, her heartbeat! I would miss Alice, with her energetic attitude, Jasper, who always made me calm, Emmett, who I could always have fun with, Rose, who was stubborn, but she could be so nice sometimes. Carlisle, with his strict but kind nature, and Esme, who was like my real mom, sweet and gentle… No I would never leave my family!

I hadn't even seen my real parents for over 90 years! If I could have cried, I would have been sobbing. I did feel something wet against my shoulder, and I looked down to see Bella, crying.

"Excuse me," I said to my family, and took Bella into my arms and into my bedroom.

"Edward, Alice did see you...le...leaving…" Bella sobbed heartbrokenly. "You've left me once, don't do it again!"

That one single statement made my non-existent heart break. She was right- I had left her. I could never hurt her or myself like that again.

"Don't worry love, I'm not going to leave," I whispered soothingly. Bella quieted, and melted into my chest. I kissed her, and felt her blush go up in her cheeks. I would never be able to leave this family, my refuge…Never!

What do you think? Should Edward leave?? I think I know the answer…review!
