Bella Pov

The next morning, I went downstairs to check on my father. I found him and Ella watching a basketball game.

"Good morning, Bells. This came for you in the mail," Charlie said to me, then handed me an envelope. I opened it up to find a letter written in very neat handwriting. I knew right away that it was Edward's handwriting.

Bella,

Please meet me at the Meadow

Around four

We need to talk.

Edward.

I crumbled up the letter and threw it in the trash.

"Mom, are you going," Ella asked me without putting too much information in.

"No," I replied shortly.

"May I go?" She asked me, I looked at Charlie to find him confused.

"How will that look if you go and not I?" I asked her making a point.

"I will just tell him I was hiking, he will never find out." Ella cried.

"Ella, come outside for a minute please." I said as I walked out to the porch. "You can't go, I don't want you to. I will go, ok."

"Will you tell him about me?" Ella asked me with pleading eyes.

"Why do you want him to know about you? Aren't I good enough anymore?" I asked hurt.

"I just want to meet him; I don't have to like him." Ella told her Steeping towards her.

"Oh you will fall in love with him, he is perfect." I said backing away from her. "Please, I am going to go and see what he wants. Please stay here, like a good daughter. I will try and get up the courage to tell him about you. I will try, that is all I am promising you."

"Fine," Ella said quickly then went inside. I started to walk down the sidewalk, in the direction of the meadow. I knew I had some time to kill, before I saw Edward, so I took my time trying to figure out what he wanted. At least I have a way to defend my self, I thought, this time. On the way to the meadow, I closed my heart so I wouldn't get hurt. I turned into the woods, getting closer to the meeting spot. As I neared, I could sense that Edward was there waiting. I walked into the meadow, wanting to feel the sun on my skin. Edward stared at me, I didn't sparkle, I shimmer, for some odd reason I was more luminescent in the sun than a normal vampire, which means I can lure people easier.

"Edward, will you please stop staring." I asked him without looking at him.

"So I was right, you are one of us." He answered but got no closer.

"No really, did ever doubt that I wouldn't." I yelled at him as I turned to face him. His face was contorted with a mixture of fascination and pain.

"Who changed you?" He asked wondering.

"You don't need to know. It's none of your business." I stated in a cold voice.

"Please Bella. I need to know." Edward pleaded. I saw the sadness in his eyes.

"Don't call me that. I don't want you to know. I don't want you here. Don't you see that? If you hadn't left I wouldn't be this way." I yelled as I neared to tears.

"I was only trying to protect you." Edward cried as he walked up to me.

"Do you really want to know? It was Victoria, who changed me. She was going to kill me, but she saw I was fighting back and saw potential. I killed her when I woke up." I told him in an icy voice.

"Bell..Bella…Isabella. What should I call you?" Edward asked.

"Nothing, Don't say my name don't think of me. Because I haven't thought about you in years," I whispered as I turned around.

"I've thought of you, every sec, every minute, every day, and every year. I couldn't erase you out of my mind." Edward said as I walked out of the meadow. As I got far enough away, I broke down and cried. The hurt came flooding back, not in bits, but in huge chunks. I knew I had to get home to Ella, but I couldn't move. I could sense him behind me watching me cry. He didn't come any closer, even though I knew he wanted too. After a few minutes, he left me there alone.
