"Bella! Open the door!" I heard Alice's voice scream. What was Bella's sister so stirred up about?

I just had the most beautiful moment of my life. The feeling of Bella's skin against mine was extraordinaire. When I entered her I knew she was in some sort of pain, but she only caressed my face and whispered she loved me in my ear. She was the most radiant creature when she pleasured and the sensation that it was me to pleasure her pleasured me.

"BELLA! OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!" Alice shouted at the top of her lungs. Bella rolled from by me side and wrapper a sheet around her. I wanted to be that sheet right about now.

Once Bella opened the door, Alice came crashing in.

"Bella, we have to leave now," Alice warned.

"What are you talking about?" Bella asked her.

"The ship is going to sink," Alice panted.

"The ship can't sink," I gasped terrified. Suddenly my shoes being wet after I came from the boiler room made clear sense to me. We were stepping in water that flooded the area.

"She is made of iron. I assure you she can sink," Alice said rhetorically.

"Alice, where is the others?" Bella asked her with a hint of horror. I felt like a complete monster. I took Bella away from her family out of my own greed. Now the ship was sinking. My chance of survival was very slim. I was a third class male. Surely they would get all the women and children on the escape boats first, then they would work on the first class men, and then that's when I come in the picture.

"The others are out by the boats. They sent me to get you after Laurent told Mike he saw you with Edward," Alice stated. "They think I am the only one who can convince you otherwise."

"Well they were wrong. Alice, I'm not leaving Edward," Bella informed.

I stood up immediately forgetting that I was semi naked. But who cares? Was Bella actually serious!

"Are you crazy? You need to get out here with your family!" I practically screamed at her. She was not about to loose her life on the account of me. I wouldn't allow that to happen. She had to live!

"You can't make me leave you!" she almost demanded starring into my eyes. I almost couldn't breathe by the way she was looking at me.

"Bella, I am going to be fine! You need to go see your family, love," I assured her.

"Only if you come with me," she pleaded.

"I have to go find Carlisle. Bella, you need to get on a boat without me," I tried to tell her. She wasn't having that.

"Stop being noble. I'm not getting on any boat unless you are with me," she stated.

I could tell that I lost the argument. I tried to think of all the scenarios that I could that could spare her life. If she wanted to be with me her chances were very slim.

"Whatever you guys do, we have to hurry. All of the boiler room and below is apart of the Atlantic Ocean now! We have a little bit over an hour," Alice informed.

"Alice, I am so sorry. I love you, but I have to go with Edward Alice. I can't leave him," Bella explained. It felt so good to know that Bella cared for me that way, but it also felt so wrong that I might end up getting the love of my life killed.

"Alice, thank you for her," I thanked.

"No, thank you for finally opening her eyes out of rationality," Alice thanked as she headed out of the door.

"Bella, I love you," she called. "But I have to get back to Jasper. I understand what you are going through. I pray you two make it out alright."

She headed back in the door to place a kiss on Bella's head and to shake my hand. Then she was gone just like that.

"Let's go down to the third class deck. I figure that is where Carlisle would be," I thought out loud.

"Alright, I just have to get dressed," she stated.

"Um…can you please wear the twilight colored one?" I asked angelically. I knew it was no time to be flirty but if that was the last time that I was every going to see her, then I'd rather she be in that dress. No! This would not be the last time I would see her. I had to remain positive. Damn that iceberg! Everyone was so sure that it had only did minor damage!

She smiled at me. How can she be smiling?

"Sure thing, Edward," she said as she slipped the dress back on. I got dressed also so we could get a move on.

After we were dressed we headed out of the dressing room out to the deck. Things were a mess. People were running around screaming. The ship crew was directing things with a gun. Now I really wished that Bella had gone with Alice where she was assured survival.

"Bella, I love you," I told her as we scanned the deck for Carlisle.

"I love you too, Edward. You know that," Bella said with sincerity.

To my luck I spotted I spotted a patch of dirty blonde hair.

"Carlisle," I called over the crowd of panicking people. "Carlisle!"

He turned around to face me. He was Esme of course. She walked over to where Bella and I were with Carlisle in tow by her hand. How could this happen? Just a few hours everything was perfect. Bella had sworn to dock the ship with me. I was planning on proposing to her when we exited the ship. Before my mother died she gave me her engagement ring that my father had given her asking me to give it to the one that I would be in love with. It felt extremely heavy against my thigh in my pocket. I was planning on never using it until I met Bella. Now, all of my plans were ruined unless I made this out alive. If I did I am going to ask her to marry me. Hopefully she would say yes though I had nothing to offer her like Mike did.

She squeezed my hand bringing me back to reality.

"Are you okay?" she asked. I smiled down at her my crooked smile.

"You are with me, so I am okay," I assured her. She smiled back at me.

"Edward, are you guys fine?" Carlisle asked after making his way through the disarray.

"What about the boats, Carlisle," I asked him.

"They are only letting first class women and children on at the moment," Esme said apparently outraged by the idea.

"There has to be another way," Bella said quietly. I heard footsteps approach from behind us.

"Bella, you look a fright," a voice said. It was the one voice I didn't want to hear at the moment.

"Mike!" Bella gasped.

BPOV

What was he doing here? It came apparent to me that they had combined the decks for safety reasons. But why was he over here with Edward and me? Why was he so calm?

"Bella, you look cold," Mike said trying to put his jacket over me. I shrugged away from him and took a hold of Edward. He grimaced at the sight. Rosalie and my mother along with Alice came in clear view behind him. Emmett and Jasper were standing behind them.

"Bella," my mother gasped as she took me in her arms. "I was so worried."

I glanced over at Edward. He had a very uneasy look on his face. He should already know that I wasn't going any where without him. I already planned our future together when we were making love. We were going to be happy.

"Can I have all the women and children?" a crew-member asked. My mother let go of me.

"Are the seats arranged according to class?" she asked aloud. I couldn't believe me ears. She then turned her attention back to us. "I hope they aren't to full."

"Oh, mother. Shut up! Half of these people are going to die here," I stated taken aback by her silly question.

"Not the better half," Mike spat. I turned around slowly to look at him

"Why you one imaginable bastard," I said gawking at him.

"Bella, get on the boat with your mother and sisters," Edward said dragging me back to reality.

"Not without you," I said squeezing his hand. My mother was till speechless from when I shut her up.

"Bella, please get on the boat with them," Jasper pleaded.

"Bella," Rosalie pleaded after him.

"Can I have you lot?" the crew member asked.

He took Alice's hand and helped her on the boat. Next he took Rosalie's, then my mother's. He stared at me waiting for me to take his hand.

"Get onto the boat, Bella," Edward said.

"I have an arrangement with someone on the other side of the boat! Edward and I can get off safely. The both of us," Mike informed. I didn't trust him as far as I could throw him.

"See, I have my own boat to catch," he assured as he guided my hand into the crew member's. The crew member took my hand and nearly lifted me onto the boat.

Once I was seated Rosalie grabbed my hand for support.

"Take her down!" the officer commanded. The boat began to lower.

I stared up at the man who claimed my heart. He was right next to Mike. Both of them stared down at me. Mike's eyes showed accomplishment, while Edward's eyes showed sadness and passion. My heart ached. I thought back to when Edward was holding me while he was pushing in me. I thought of the words he whispered in my ears. It was that moment that I decided I couldn't be away from him any longer.

On an act of impulse I stood up on the boat taking my hand back from Rosalie's. Everyone gasped. I was acting on pure adrenaline.

I leaped back to the edge of the ship and almost fell. I could hear my mother and my sister's scream after me, but I couldn't feel sorrow. All I felt was that I needed to get back to Edward, whether it killed me or not, which I was probably going to do that.

"Bella! Bella, no!" I heard Edward scream above me.

I had to get to that voice. People helped me back onto the ship trying to save my life. I didn't look back at my family as I took off. They knew I loved them but I needed to get to Edward. Tears clouded my vision as I ran past everyone. To get there faster I was going to take the main hall.

As I burst through the door I was in shock to find he was running to me also. I cried even harder as I slammed myself into him.

"You're so stupid, Bella! You're so stupid! Why did you do that? Why?" Edward asked staring into my eyes.

"No one loves you more than me, right?" was my only answer.

"Right," he agreed as he buried his head in my hair.
