AUTHORS NOTE: (PLEASE READ: ALL OF IT) Okay, so some of you are probably going to be pretty ticked off by the way that I am ending this story. But keep in mind, there is a REASON why this story is under the ANGST/HURT/COMFORT categories. But after so many people asking me to expand this story, I am considering doing just that :) Of course it won't be right now, I'm too busy with my other two multi-chapter stories right now to do a third one (You should check those out though!) But, if I get enough reviews...lets try TEN reviews, I will post up a reunion chapter. I actually have something in mind but I'll only type it up and post it if I get more than TEN reviews! Sound fair?

Also, I was kind of bored and was making some banners for my stories and I made one for this one. It's my FAVORITE that I've EVER done so you all should check it out. It's on my fanfic's website. The link is on my profile and here: http://musicormiseryfanfics[dot]weebly[dot]com/others-art[dot]html If you use the direct link on my profile instead of this one, the banner is under the "Other's Art" category and it's the first picture on there. I hope you all like it :)

Oh and did anyone else watch the MTV Awards? Wasn't it just awesome :) I love when Kristen dropped the award, and Kristen and Rob faking that kiss, damn I was pretty disapointed. I thought fer sure that they were actually going to. Haha, I was really close to throwing my remote at my TV screen when Kristen turns around and is just like "THANKS!" You could tell they were both nervous. With Kristen stuttering through her thanks and Rob always pulling out those notecards, Ha. I laughed at that :) But It's a shame they aren't together, they'd be so cute!! What do you guys think? And the New Moon trailer, AMAZING!!

Part 2 of 2 – A Goodbye

BPOV

- Chicago, Illinois 1918 -

When my eyes finally fluttered open she felt strangely comfortable in my hospital bed. That was when I realized that I wasn't in my hospital. There was no way I could ever be comfortable in those firm, flat cots. I looked around and saw that instead of the stark white hospital room, I was lying on a silky crimson colored queen sized bed in a gold painted room.

"I see you are finally awake." A voice said. I startled me, for I was not expecting it once again. I jumped slightly but then realized it was just Carlisle. He was standing at the foot of my bed.

"What am I doing here?" I asked.

Carlisle chuckled, "You said you didn't want to die, well I am going to help you." He said.

"By doing what?" I asked. I was a little skeptical.

Carlisle stared intently at her, "I'm going to save you from your deathbed." He said.

"But how?" I asked.

"I'm going to change you." He said simply.

At first I nodded, I had to cough a couple times. I held up my hand, signaling him to wait for a moment. He waited patiently until I was done coughing. Then, I tilted my head to the side, like I always did when I was confused, "What do you mean change me? Change me into what?" she asked.

For a moment Carlisle was quiet but then he finally answered me, "I'm turning you into a—" He paused, took a break then continued. "A vampire." He said.

I was silent, 'A what!? Vampires don't exist, they are fake. I must be going delusional or something from the virus.' I thought.

"Are you alright?" Carlisle asked me.

"What do you mean, a vampire? Vampires do not exist. They're just folklore." I told with wide eyes.

'Maybe Dr. Cullen is crazy,' I thought sadly. 'And here I thought he could actually save me. I wonder if the hospital knows that they have a young doctor who is convinced they are a vampire working for them?'

"I'm not human, I am a vampire." Carlisle explained. "I have been since the 1600's. You see, when I was changed I was bitten. I then hid myself from humans for three days while I completely the transformation. I have this theory that if I bite you, it let my venom spread throughout you and then you can be changed into a vampire as well." He explained.

"And how do you know for sure that all of this will work?" I asked him.

Carlisle smiled, "I've already tested it out on the other patient earlier today. Like I said, the transformation takes three days and it will be extremely painful." He warned me.

'Maybe he isn't crazy,' I thought.

"Change me." I whispered, "I don't want to die."

Carlisle moved towards where my head lay on the pillows, "Are you sure?" he asked.

I nodded, "Positive."

The next thing I knew Carlisle pushed away the hair from my neck. He brought his head down onto my neck and then suddenly all I could feel was pain as his strangely sharp teeth sunk down into my neck. I screamed loudly at the feel of it. It was hurt so much.

"Now you see why we couldn't do this in the hospital?" Carlisle chuckled. "Once again, three days is how long it takes for the poison to kill you and make you a vampire. It will stop you're heart, and to others, you will be dead but I guess you can say that you will be the undead. You're still living, you just don't have a heartbeat. It's very strange but you get used to it after a hundred years or so. You'll never age, you will become immortal. Oh and if you feel fire it is completely normal." Carlisle explained.

I tried to nod but the pain I was feeling was just too great. The words that Carlisle had spoken barely even registered in my brain. Suddenly there was fire spreading all through out my veins. I cried out in pain, cried for someone to make the fire stop and suddenly I was lowered once again into that dark oblivion. Only this time, instead of falling into it peacefully, I was falling into the fiery pits of hell.

-x-x-x-

I screamed again. My throat hurt from all the screaming I had done in the past—what was it, how many days—she wasn't even sure anymore.

Just as I thought that the pain couldn't get any worse it doubled. I screamed in pure torture and twisted my body around in agony. I could faintly registered someone sitting down on the bed with me but I wasn't sure who it was. Maybe it was Carlisle, trying to sooth me. Or maybe, just maybe it was—him.

I couldn't see anything. All I saw was my black oblivion and all I could really feel was the agony I was feeling from the venom as it slowly made its way to her heart. If someone was talking to me, I couldn't hear it either. My screams drowned out the sounds of anything else. I felt my heart beating pound softer and softer and softer, until I could feel it no more.

Slowly the pain began to subside but I still couldn't open my eyes. Finally, my screams died out and I could hear. I could faintly make out voices talking around my, but I couldn't tell who they belonged to.

"The transformation is complete." A voice said.

"Shouldn't she be waking up soon?" a velvety voice answered the first voice. It was close to me and I could tell that the voice was right next to me while the other was further away from me. The velvet voice's owner was sitting next to me on the bed, it had to be him. It was so close.

The first voice answered the second, "She's exhausted, her transformation was a lot worse than yours, I've never seen someone in so much pain. Let her rest for a while and build up her strength again, she needs it."

The first voice was right. I was exhausted. I fell back into the black oblivion, hopefully for the last time, but this time I was feeling no more pain. I felt strangely at ease.

-x-x-x-

"Mmmm…" I mumbled.

"Bella?" a velvety voice whispered.

I felt a cold hand on my cheek and I slowly opened my eyes. I almost jumped in surprise. A pair of blood red eyes were staring right back at her. Wait, blood red?

"You're awake? How are you feeling?" the voice from before asked.

As my eyes started to focus everything I realized that I was looking at the boy from the hospital. The gorgeous boy that I thought I would never see again.

But here he was, sitting on my bedside with his hand brushing the hair carefully away from my face and looking at me with his blood red eyes. He still had his bronze colored hair that flopped over one of his eyes and was still arranged in a messy manner. He was pale before but now, he looked of death. He was extremely pale and had creamy, almost bright white skin that was accompanied by dark purple circles under his eyes. Even so, he was even more beautiful than when I first saw him. But the most different thing about him was—

"Didn't you have green eyes? Now they're, r-red." I stuttered.

The boy chuckled, "And you used to have brown eyes but your eyes are red now too."

I jumped off the bed and ran into the bathroom without waiting to acknowledge the boy on my bed anymore. As I looked into the mirror on top of the bathroom sink, I almost couldn't breathe—not that I even felt the need too, which was strange.

The person staring back at me wasn't me. The Bella that I was before Carlisle took me to his house had frizzy, long dark brown hair and bland, dark brown eyes. I was short and looked as if I was still in an awkward stage with her body. But now, now everything was different. I looked unbelievably gorgeous. Just like Carlisle and the boy.

Now I also had the same deathly pale skin as the boy. I gasped when I saw that shimmered slightly from the light streaming in the bedroom window.

'Am I supposed to sparkle!?' I thought frantically.

I then took in the rest of reflection. My once plain, straight dark hair was now luscious and a mahogany color. My body now had the curves that any woman would die for and I looked like she had grown an inch or two. But what shocked me the most were my eyes. They were the same blood red color of the boys. Just like the boy had said. I gasped, she was—unbelievably gorgeous. What happened to me? Was this what changing into a vampire did? Did it make you beautiful?

I walked out of the bathroom and went back to the bed that I had been residing in. The boy was still sitting there, almost as if he was waiting for me. He was watching me intently. I cocked my head to the side—a habit I had. I always seemed to do it when I was confused.

"What is your name?" I asked the boy. It would be nice to finally put a name to a face.

"Edward Masen." The boy replied with a grin.

I was absolutely captivated by his smile. I was completely dazzled by Edward Masen. Everything about him was beautiful, even his name was beautiful. Edward Masen. Yep, beautiful.

"Carlisle changed you too?" I asked him.

Edward nodded at me, "Yeah, I was finished with the change much earlier than you because I woke up before you when Carlisle brought us back here. He explained everything to me first and then after you woke up he changed you. I've been here ever since I got done with my change." He told me, ducking his head slightly in embarrassment.

"You were the person that was sitting on my bed when I was finally changed." I remembered.

He nodded and looked away sheepishly, "I didn't want to leave you. I can't seem to stay away from you."

I felt my face start to soften at his words. "Then don't." I replied softly.

He looked up at me with surprise. He smiled at me softly but it didn't reach his eyes.

"What's wrong?" I asked him. "Why do you look upset."

"Later, I have a question." Edward said softly.

"What?" I replied.

"Can I kiss you?" he asked timidly.

My eyes widened. I couldn't form a full sentence so I just nodded. Suddenly he was standing in right in front of me when before he had been standing a few feet away. My eyes opened wider and he chuckled at my surprise. "Vampire speed, it's pretty cool." He laughed.

I giggled and suddenly I felt his hand on her cheek.

"You are very beautiful…" he said.

Suddenly his lips were on my in a soft, gentle kiss. It was sweet, but somehow I got the feeling like he was trying to say something with the kiss—something that she didn't really want to hear. It was almost as if he was saying goodbye to me. I didn't like that, not one bit. When we broke apart after a while I rested my forehead on his cheek.

"Wow." Edward whispered.

"We have all of eternity to perfect that." I giggled slightly and rested my hand on his chest lightly.

Edward stiffened when I said this though. I pulled away slightly and frowned, "What?" I asked.

He looked away and wouldn't meet my gaze. My heart dropped. He didn't like it. He regrets it.

"You—you don't like me, do you?" I asked sadly and dropped my gaze to the floor. I felt the need to cry, I wanted to cry, but the tears wouldn't come up. I rubbed at my eyes in annoyance but it didn't help.

Suddenly Edward's hand was under my chin, making me look up at him. His ruby red eyes were smoldering, "I do like you Bella but—" he trailed off.

"But what?" I replied.

"I think we need to speak with Carlisle." Edward said and took my hand lightly and led me from the room.

(POINT OF VIEW CHANGE)

Carlisle POV

I was in my study, trying with almost no success to research Edward's special ability. A couple hours after Edward had awoken from his transformation, he had started to hear voices in his head. After this, we quickly figured out that Edward could read peoples minds. While Bella was regaining her strength after having the change completed Edward and I talked about what was to come. We also talked about Edward's power.

'It's such a shame that Edward—' My thoughts were interrupted when there was a knock on his door, "Come in." I said.

The door opened and Edward and Bella stepped through the door, hand in hand. I found myself smiling brightly at the young couple. "Hello Edward. Bella, I see you are awake now. How are you feeling?" I asked.

Bella smiled widely, "Better than I have in a while." She said happily and looked over at Edward with a smile.

'Edward didn't you tell her that—' I thought with my mind.

Edward shook his head ever so slightly, any normal person wouldn't have caught it but I did. Bella shot him a confused look. She couldn't have known about his power yet either.

"Well that is good to know." I smiled at Bella again. "So Bella, have you found your special ability yet?" I asked curiously. Bella again looked confused, "Surely you know by now that Edward can read minds." I said teasingly.

"No, actually I didn't know that." Bella replied and looked at Edward who shrugged.

"I can't read her mind." He said simply. "It's completely silent to me."

I furrowed my eyebrows together, "Hmm, that is strange indeed. I wonder if Bella's power may have something to do with closing off her mind." I muttered. I continued now for Bella's sake, "Well Bella, while you were sleeping and regaining your strength, Edward and I figured out that he could read peoples minds. Sometimes, instead of having actual powers, vampires have certain traits from when they were human passed to them. I do not have an actual ability. My gift is the gift of compassion. I am also now almost immune to human blood, hence how it is so easy to be a doctor. But it wasn't always like that, I had to resist the temptation of blood." I explained to her.

Bella nodded, "Well that would explain a lot of things." She said.

"Some peoples power take longer to discover than others. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens as time passes, but we have all the time in the world." I replied.

"So what happens from here, are we going to stay around here or leave? What's going to happen to us?" Bella asked.

Edward cleared his throat, "That's actually why I brought Bella in here. I wanted to explain my situation to her." He said timidly.

'Edward are you sure you want to do this. You are always welcome here with me.' Carlisle thought.

"I'm sure Carlisle." Edward answered my thoughts out loud.

I turned to Bella, "Bella, Edward isn't going to be staying with us…" I said.

Bella looked surprised and then turned to Edward, "Why not?" she asked sadly and looked down at her feet.

"I want to explore a while. I want to check out different lifestyles. I'm not exactly sure if I want to try Carlisle's life style." Edward said softly.

"And that life style would be?" Bella asked.

"My life style is we stay in places for long periods of time. You could continue going to school and pose as a regular teenager as soon as we get your blood lust under control or you could help me in the hospital as a nurse or something. For a few years we will have to work on mastering that. I feed off of animals with no human blood what so ever. It's hard, but I find it more civilized." I explained.

"Sounds perfect." Bella grinned.

"Edward doesn't think so." I said grimly.

"What do you mean?" Bella turned once more to Edward.

"Well, like I said, I'm not sure that I want that kind of life style. I'm going to travel around for a while. I want to meet with some other covens. I just want try out different things." Edward explained.

Bella, who had been holding on to his hand the entire time, suddenly dropped it. She frowned, but quickly she made her face emotionless. "That's why—oh…" she said, her voice full of understanding.

"I'm sorry Bella." Edward whispered.

Bella nodded, "I'm going to go lie down and think for a while." She said.

"I can take you hunting later Bella. Edward, if you want you can come too." I said, trying to compromise.

"No thanks, I've already fed." Edward replied.

I nodded with sympathy. Bella then left the room. Edward studied my face for a while. I may have understood why Edward wanted to leave but it didn't stop my expression from being disappointed, 'I wish you would just give this life a chance Edward, Bella really likes you and wants you to stay here.' I thought to him.

"I'm sorry Carlisle. I didn't mean to let you or Bella down, but maybe this is for the best. For now anyways." Edward added. "I'm leaving tomorrow, but not before I say goodbye to Bella. I'm going to go to my own room for a while. I need time to think as well, although I think my decision is already set."

I nodded once more and watched as Edward too left the room.

'Such a shame, they would have made a good couple and a nice addition to the family. At least Bella likes the life style and now I have someone to share my thoughts and theories with.' I thought to myself.

(Back to Bella now!)

BPOV

I lay in my room for a while and just stared the white ceiling up above me. It was uninteresting, but I couldn't stop staring at it. I had counted the tiles at least twenty times, over and over again. I thought about the conversation that Edward, Carlisle and I had just had in Carlisle's office. Edward was not staying with us. Him being around was one of the main reasons I had been so eager to let Carlisle save me from my death bed in the first place! I was so captivated by the gorgeous bronze haired boy—now vampire—with startling green eyes that were now a bright blood red.

'But he's leaving,' My brain told me.

I don't know how long I ended up lying there in bed but before I knew it, the early morning sun was streaming through her window. It was then that I realized I didn't sleep a wink the night before. I she wasn't even tired at all. No matter how many times I had tried to fall asleep, I couldn't. It was impossible. I could probably ask Carlisle about it later, he should know.

I finally got up and got dressed for the day. There was no use lazing around all day in bed, staring at ceiling tiles. Carlisle had mentioned something about hunting. Maybe it was time to try that out. I selected a light blue dress and put it on. Yesterday, I had peaked into my closet only to find that it was already filled with clothes for her, courteous of Carlisle of course.

'How could Edward want to leave at a time like this, Carlisle changed us and already Edward is leaving! How could he leave! I thought he at least liked me a little bit…' I thought sadly.

After dressing, I quickly went to go find Carlisle. I was going to ask him about my sleeping problem and the hunting thing, when I was abruptly stopped by bumping into a stone cold chest. I didn't need to look up. I knew exactly who it was.

"Good morning Bella." His velvety voice spoke.

I smiled and looked up at him, "Good morning Edward, are you leaving now?" As I said this, the smile dropped from my face.

Edward's eyes turned pained for a moment and then he nodded sadly, "Yeah."

"I wish you wouldn't leave." I said.

"I know but, I just think this is the best for now. I will see you again though. I have a sure fire feeling." Edward said. He gave me the most gorgeous crooked grin.

I nodded and kept quiet.

"You know this isn't because of you, right?" Edward said.

Again I nodded.

"Because, if anything, you are making this decision even harder for me—especially after I kissed you yesterday." He said with a sharp laugh.

I managed a small smile to give him for his attempt at a joke, "So you are defiantly going?"

"Yes. I'm sorry Bella." Edward said.

I looked away from him, "When are you leaving exactly?"

"Now. I was actually just coming to find you. I said goodbye to Carlisle—who is looking for you, by the way. He wanted to speak with you about something. But, he wanted us to talk first. I wanted to give a proper goodbye to you." Edward confessed.

"I'll miss you, even though I hardly even know you—I'll still miss you." I said. I felt like crying, let once again I couldn't. I rubbed my eyes.

"I'll miss you too." Edward said.

Then suddenly he was very close to my face. His blood red eyes searched mine, before he lowered his face to mine to give me a chaste kiss goodbye. But I wasn't having that. I brought my hands up his arms, over his shoulders, past his neck and roughly yanked onto his hair. Bringing him too me. I felt him moan into my mouth as I opened mine and he slid his tongue inside. We explored each other's mouths for a while before we pulled away, both gasping for air that we didn't need.

"Goodbye Bella." Edward said me, after getting his wits back to him.

"Bye Edward." I whispered and with that he was gone.

But he promised we would see each other again. I was going to believe in that promise, because even though I'd only known him for a few days, I was completely in love with Edward Masen. And I completely trusted that the Fates wanted us together. Things would work out eventually. Edward would be back and we would become a family. I just had to wait for Edward to be ready.

I turned and went off to find Carlisle, to start my new life.

So why does your pride make you run and hide?

Are you that afraid of me?

But I know it's a lie what you keep inside

This is not how you wanted to be

So baby I will wait for you

Cause I don''t know what else i can do

Don't tell me I ran out of time

If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you

If you think I'm fine it just aint true

I really need you in my life

No matter what i have to do I'll wait for you

The End.

So, it isn't the ending that most of you were wanting but that's how I wanted this story to go, Edward doesn't want Carlisle's lifestyle and he is torn between leaving Bella or living the life he wants. He chooses living his life. But like I said, if I get MORE than TEN reviews, I'll post the reunion chapter that I actually had in mind when I wrote these two chapters. So what do you think? Love the ending, hate it? (I know you'll all probably hate it more than love it but I expect that!) What do you think of the New Moon trailer? Kristen dropping the award? And also, are you going to check out my other stories? Lol, that is my attempt of shamelessly exploiting my other stories. Ha. :) Anyways, please REVIEW!
