Thanks again to all who reviewed last chapter. It was a little random, I know, the whole Jacob story but I had to get him in here. I think it's sweet that Bella still wears his necklace. In case you were wondering, Jacob imprinted, that's how he had a son. Now on to the next chapter!

This chapter is a little fluff, because you can never have too much fluff!

Disclaimer; I am not Stephenie Meyer, nor do I know her. All recognized characters are hers, except for Mary, Chris and Vicki. The songs mentioned in this chapter are Dreaming with a broken heart by John Mayer and Far Away by Nickelback. (One of my favorites) I don't own those either.

Previously;

Then, I was rushed back to the present time. I was standing in the meadow. I unconsciously rubbed the necklace and thought about what Carlisle had said.

"Bella, Edward still loves you."

I looked up, startled. Where had that voice come from? A voice that had spoken exactly what I was thinking about. I would think that it was one of my siblings, or even one of the Cullens, but they didn't know where I was.

I looked around the clearing, but I could still see nothing. Not the faintest rustle of leaves, not even a cough or a sniff. I didn't think anyone was here. It was probably just my imagination. But since when does my imagination speak out loud?

I took a deep breath, and sat down at the edge of a big, blackish-brownish rock. A couple of birds chirped in the distance, which I would not have been able to hear if I were still human, they were too far away.

This is how I wanted to sit, just here, nothing else taking over my mind. So that the world stood still inside this little private circle. All I could hear was the sound of birds chirping and the echoing of the creek as the water hit the small waterfall in the distance.

All thoughts of Edward and the Cullens were now pushed far from my mind. They were never completely gone from it, but for now, I was perfectly content to sit here, for precious few seconds thinking that I didn't have a care in the world.

So carefree that I felt, I began to sing

(The original song says she not he, but I had to change it to make it fit.)

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part

You roll out of bed and down on your knees
and for a moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was he really here
Is he standing in my room?

No, he's not
cause he's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
the giving up is the hardest part

he takes you in with his crying eyes
then all at once you have to say goodbye
wondering could you stay my love
will you wake up by my side?

No, he can't
cause he's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my, roses in my hands?
Would you get them if I did?

No, you won't
Cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone.

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
the waking up is the hardest part.

As I sang, I realized that this song—one of my favorites, was just like my life. Before, when I was still human, I kept trying to get him to stay with me. And then just like that, he was gone.

As I thought, I noticed a small shuffling over by the bushes. And then, who should step out from behind them, shyly as if he was ashamed to be caught here listening to my private singing.

Edward.

I could see now that time had not changed his face, or any other aspect of his body, except for his eyes. His eyes looked older, wiser, as if they had had to withstand a terrible sorrow. I could not have looked at him properly back when we were at his house, for fear of other people seeing that I was staring at him.

But I could stare at him now. And I could see that in the ninety years, his beauty still held me, held me captivated in his stare.

And I knew that somewhere, deep inside my heart, I still loved him. I loved him with every fiber of my being and I knew that I would never see anything so beautiful again as long as I lived. I would never want anyone else as long as I lived. And it would never be enough. I was not beautiful, or smart, or perfect, whereas Edward was all of these things. And so I would never be enough for him.

He took two small steps forward. "Hello Bella."

I kept my voice even. "Why are you here?"

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come. I just thought—"

"It's okay. Sit down." If he traveled all this way, I should let him at least catch his breath.

He hesitantly took four more steps forward and then suddenly as right next to me. I looked away from him, because I could feel his stare on my face, studying me.

He sat down. We both sat in silence for a minute. I wondered why he was here. Why had he traveled all this way to tell me that Carlisle was lying? He could have just told me over the phone. I already knew he was much too good for me anyway.

(Some of this stuff is copied from New Moon because Stephenie Meyer puts it so perfectly.)

"Bella," his expression was pained. I braced myself for the worst. "Carlisle was telling the truth. I didn't want to leave you all those years ago. I had to, I could see what I was doing to you, you were constantly in danger. I just wanted you to have a normal human life. I didn't want to leave you—I thought it would kill me to leave you, but I convinced myself that it would be better for you in the long run."

I looked up at him, shock etched across my face. Why was he still lying to me? Did he find pleasure in the fact that he was hurting me?

"Bella? Bella, say something." He urged.

"Why—why are you lying to me?" I stuttered.

He looked outraged. "Bella, I'm not lying to you. Why will you believe the lie but never the truth? After the thousand times I told you I loved you break your faith in me?"

I looked into his eyes and saw that he was telling the truth. Like some sixth sense, I saw that every word he had just said was completely true. Maybe he really did love me.

A grin slowly spread across my face as I realized that he really did love me.

"Then why did you stay away for so long? If you had come back, maybe I would believe you, but you didn't Edward. You stayed away. Do you have any idea how much pain I was in when you left me?" My voice kept getting shriller and also going down in volume, an odd combination.

"Bella, I did come back. I came back, but you weren't there. They said—"His voice broke here, "They told me you were dead." His expression was tortured. I could read the sorrow in his golden eyes.

"I knew you were in pain, but I had convinced myself that it would be better for you to have a normal life. You have no idea what it was like for me. Every second of every day, knowing that I had caused you pain. I hated anything that cause you pain which meant I hated myself. After I found out you were dead," He swallowed, even thought he didn't need to. "After I found out that you were dead, I tried to kill myself. There was no point of living without you. You had taken a part of me with you. Emmett and Jasper stopped me with the help of Alice's visions."

I listened to him, horrified. "But what about Vicki?"

He snorted, lightening the mood a little. "Vicki is an idiot. I really hate her. For some reason she thinks that I love her and that we were destined to be soul mates. She is one of the most annoying creatures ever to walk the face of the earth. I had to tell her off earlier."

"Oh, is that what you two were arguing about?" He nodded.

He watched as relief clouded my face. "Does this mean you'll forgive me?" Worry clouded his face.

"Hmm. I suppose so. On one condition." An amount of relief entered his face, but the worry was still there. He must have been worried about the condition.

"What?"

"You have to kiss me." He grinned. All traces of worry were absent from his perfect features. I found myself once again immersed in his golden eyes.

"You didn't even have to ask."

Suddenly his lips were on mine and we kissed unlike anything we had ever done before. We didn't have to be careful anymore, and for that I was grateful. I could taste the feel of his lips on mine and had no urge to pull away. Finally he pulled away and we both laid back onto the rock, looking up at the cloudless, blue, perfect sky.

Then, he started to sing to me. To my surprise, it was one of my favorite songs.

He sang
This time, This place,

Misused, mistakes.

Too long, too late,

Who was I to make you wait?

Just one chance, just one breath,

Just in case there's just one left.

'Cause you know, you know, you know,

That I love you! I loved you all along.

I miss you! Been far away for far too long.

I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go!

Stop breathin', if I don't see you anymore!

I cut him off after the first berse, and sang the next verse of the song. He was surprised, but recovered.
On my knees, I'll ask, last chance for one last dance.

'Cause with you, I'd withstand,

All of Hell to hold your hand!

I'd give it all; I'd give for us,

Give anything, but I won't give up,

'Cause you know, you know, you know,

That I love you! I loved you all along.

I miss you! Been far away for far too long.

I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go!

Stop breathin', if I don't see you anymore!

(Edward)

So far away!

(Bella)

So far away!

(Both)

Been far away for far too long!

(Bella)

So far away!

(Edward)

So far away!

(Both)

Been far away for far too long!

But you know, you know, you know!

(Bella)

That I wanted, I wanted you to stay.

(Edward)

'Cause I needed, I need to hear you say:

(Bella)

"I love you! I've loved you all along!

And I forgive you, for bein' away for far too long!"

(Edward)

So keep breathin', 'cause I'm not leavin' you anymore!

Believe it, hold onto me never let me go!

(Bella)

Keep breathin'

(Edward)

'Cause I'm not leavin' you anymore!

(Bella)

Believe it!

(Edward)

Hold onto me, never let me go!

I stared at him for a minute, and then tears, long absent from my face, began pouring down like buckets from my face. Edward looked on surprised.

"I didn't know that you could do that."

"Neither did I." I confessed

"Maybe I just had nothing to cry about before now." I murmured.

He clutched me closer to him, and I relaxed in his arms, where I should have been all along.

Wow, you guys are lucky! 2 chapters in 2 days! I deserve some reviews for that!hint hint Hope you guys liked it. Soon in upcoming chapters we will be featuring an Edward Vicki shouting match, a series of mysterious notes and more! Please review if you liked it!
