It's all worth it though.

I always feel bad leaving Bella after what I foolishly condemned each of us to.

Leaving her was the biggest mistake of my eternity, and I was going to make sure she knew that.

The attraction and love I feel for her is, sometimes, unbearable. The intensities I feel…..I just wish she knew how much I cared for her. The thought of my perfect Bella becoming one of us, did not exactly put me at ease. She has no idea what she would have to go through! The pain, the new found urges, the lust for blood...being human was so much more simple! If I could find any way to be human for her, I would take that option without thinking twice about it. She is my world.

My phone buzzed in my pocket.

"Yes Alice?" I answered.

"I have Bella; we're driving to the house right now."

I smiled. I knew Bella was furious with me right now. At least I know she's safe.

"Is Bella ready to rip me to pieces?"

Alice laughed her little laugh on the other line.

"Well Edward, hard to say….I guess it depends on how much make-up Rosalie and I put on her."

I heard Bella laugh groan in the background.

"Well have fun, and tell Bella that I love her." I hung up.

This camping trip with Jasper, Emmett and Carlisle was much needed.

I was supposed to meet them on the outskirts of Seattle in an abandoned forest.

By the time I got there, Emmett was already bouncing up and down in impatience. Carlisle and Jasper were talking on the other side of the small clearing.

"Edward! Come on! I think Bella's human velocity has started to rub off on you! I bet you can't even beat me to our first catch!" I heard Emmett yell.

I smiled. My poor brother; he doesn't stand a chance.

Emmett was already starting to count down when I reached him.

On your mark! Get set!...

My feet started moving before he said go. By the time Emmett realized what was happening I was already hundreds of feet in front of him.

"Damn it Edward! He yelled. Emmet was already on the move trying to reach me.

I could hear the sound of Jasper and Carlisle's laughter from here.

Being out here with my family was always one of the things I used to look forward too. However, now that I have Bella, my completion and better half, all I can think about while I hunt is her.

My impatience was running thin as Emmet and I each tackled out 3rd serving.

After a while, I ran ahead of the rest of them. I just let myself run. The air felt soothing as it whipped my face.

Edward. Find a clearing to rest in. I think everyone needs to take a break for a while. Carlisle's thoughts entered my brain. They must not be that far behind me.

Further ahead, about 3 miles, there was a small rocky clearing. I stopped to sit down and less than 5 minutes later, the other 3 caught up.

Calm down Edward. These built up emotions of stress are not helping you. Bella is fine, trust me. I heard Jasper's thoughts.

I threw him a hard look which did not go unnoticed.

"I can't even feel everyone's dramatic and sappy emotions, and even I know something's up with you! Emmett replied.

Carlisle looked concerned. "Edward, listen to me. Bella is fine. Trust Me. Just relax."

My unnecessary breathing seemed to slow [because of me or Jasper I have no idea.

"Listen Edward," Carlisle began, "at least stay an hour or so more, and then you can get a head start home."

I nodded sharply. Getting home to see Bella is the only thing that is going to relax me at this point. When we are separated, my brain will never cease to worry.

"I'm going to go ahead and hunt a little more." I told Carlisle.

"That's the spirit my brother!" yelled Emmet, putting his arm around my shoulder. "Can't you feel the testosterone in the air?" He finished.

Jasper threw him a disbelieving look. "Emmett, you know our bodies don't produce hormones anymore."

"Well yeah…but there would be some in the air if we were still human." Emmett replied a little confused.

Jasper rolled his eyes as I laughed and began to run.

I was pushing myself to run faster. I had so much energy.

All of a sudden my head started to throb. I decreased my speed as to let the others run ahead of me. I began to feel extremely dizzy and everything in the forest began to look hazy in my eyes. My legs seemed to be running but my brain wasn't stimulating anything. It seemed to be on pause. My body was an auto-drive.

The pounding in my head became more painful and finally the pressure building behind my eyes was too much to handle. I stubbornly let them close.

What was happening?

The greenish color from behind my eyelids faded and now there seemed to be a bright light where I was.

Had I run so far as to reach the end of the forest?

The pressure behind my eyes started to decrease and finally my eyes opened.

I was in Alice and Rosalie's bathroom at home.

They we're coming towards me.

"Are you ready to face the mirror Bella?" Rosalie asked. "Edward will appreciate this." I heard Alice laugh from the next room.

"Wait, Rose! I want to see her reaction!" Alice came skipping into the room.

I was going to appreciate what?! I began to wonder. Was I at home? Was Bella here?

However, before I could say anything. Rosalie turned me around to face the mirror.
