Thankyou so much to the people who have reviewed, thanks so much for your ideas. I was so happy.
I'm starting a new school soon so things might be a tad hectic and it might take me even l o n g e r to update, sorry it has taken me so long to, (and a massive apology to Juhi that I didn't get to see you… don't cry! Next time I see you we will definitely be doing our super cool super secret super awesome handshake that we made up in Year 8. Oh yeah, and what ever happened to that story with the sugar daddy? Good times in Commerce indeed. Oh my god you know what I just remembered? When Miss Rudrum was looking at our reports and Claire was like "I like your shoes" and Miss Rudrum goes "Bullshit"- that was so funny, ahhh good times.)
This first part is sort of a filler, sorry… but it's better than a poke in the eye.
Here is a good song to listen to whist reading this chapter: Falling away with you by Muse.

Chapter Two
'Family Time' with Charlie
I sighed. And then… an epiphany, I knew what my last moment of being human would be. And then I began to write…
"Why didn't I think of it before?" I whispered "What else would I want to do?" I laughed at myself.
Edward's brow slightly creased
My pen scratched against the notepad loudly in the silent night as I wrote,
Moment One:
Edward Cullen
"My name?" Edward questioned, wrapping his arms around me.
"Yes." I said simply, my eyes staring into his.
"May I ask why?"
"Edward, I love you. I love every single bit of you, for God's sake, Edward, my heart skips a beat when I hear your name, I don't care what time of the day or night it is, where we are, or what we are doing. All I want is for you, Edward Cullen, to be there with me during my last seconds of being a human."
I was lucky that my voice didn't fail me anytime through that little speech, or it would have sounded weak.
Edward didn't say anything, he just held me tighter.
"Why do you love me? I don't deserve you." he said, looking away
I pulled my arm out of Edward's hold and pushed against his cheek until he faced me.
"And I don't deserve you either. We're even." I joked, Edward smiled at me and picked up the list, scanning it briefly.
"Are you sure about this, Bella?" he said
"Positive."
"Well… alright."
"Was that hesitation I detected?" I questioned
"It's just that… doing something illegal, Bella? Don't you think that's a little immature?"
"Hey, this is my list, and the only illegal thing I've ever done was steal a pack of gum from the corner store when I was eight years old and Renee made me take it back, so it doesn't even count. It's not like I'm going to rob a bank."
Edward looked like he was holding back laughter, "She made you take it back?"
"I don't think you realise how humiliating that is having some old lady watch you like a hawk for the next nine years every time you walk into that store because of a stupid pack of gum," I looked at Edward's almost exploding face "Go on, you can laugh." I sighed
And he did, for quite sometime which I found quite annoying. I scowled at him and when he saw my face it made him laugh even more.
I got under my bed covers, burying my face in my pillow
"Your mean." I told him,
"And your acting like a child."
I lifted my head and stuck out my tongue at him.
"Come on, love. Go to sleep, you have a whole day with Charlie tomorrow you know. Moment Ten."
"Hoorah."
Edward smiled and kissed my forehead, pushing back my hair.
"Goodnight, darling." he whispered, dazzling me.
"Goodnight." I whispered back, breathless.

I awoke before Edward returned. I lay in my bed while I tried to decide what Charlie and I would do for my last moment with him. I wasn't the outgoing, fishing trips kind of person, and Charlie definitely wouldn't have wanted to go out on his day off. I supposed it was down to good old conversation during commercials.
"Hey, Dad." I said casually, "What are you watching?"
"Oh, just the Lakers and the Knicks. It's nearly over." He replied (AN: I'm sorry they are the only two American teams I know, do both of them play basketball? Whoops…)
"Oh." I actually had no idea what he was talking about, "Mind if I join you?"
"Sure." He kept his head towards the screen but I heard the surprise in his voice.
"So, when is your flight out to Phoenix?" he asked
"Tomorrow night."
"Have you started packing?"
"Not yet," I admitted "I will later."
"Okay, just as long as your organised."
I laughed once, "Yeah, I'll be alright. I just thought we should spend today together."
"Why is that?" he asked
"Well, I am going to be in Phoenix until the day before the wedding," Well, at least, that's what he thinks, I will be at the Cullen's' for about two weeks "So I'm not going to see you for 3 weeks."
"Oh, right." he said
"And I won't see you that much tomorrow because I'm going to La Push and then a party at Jessica's."
"Well, it's nice that you would spend this time with me." He smiled at patted my arm, "Love you, Bella."
"Love you too, Dad."
Oh, no. I could feel the lump in my throat. I thought it would be best to leave the room before Charlie realised that I was about to cry for no apparent reason.
"I'm going to go pack my bags." I said and almost jumped out of my seat.
"Alright then." said Charlie
Once I had escaped to my room and closed my door I buried my face in my hands, tears were flowing now.
"Are you alright?"
I was unable to speak, I stayed in my position.
"Bella?"
I sniffed as a response.
Edward silently walked over to me and put his arms around me. I held onto his shirt and sobbed. He gently held my head with one hand close to his chest. We stayed like this for a long time, until Charlie called to me from downstairs.
"Bella! The pizzas are here!"
"Are you alright?" Edward asked again
This time I was able to answer, "Yes, thankyou."
"I will be waiting here." he said, as he gently released me.
I nodded my head, wiped my eyes a few times and opened the door, "Thankyou." I said to Edward before closing the door behind me.
I fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed. I wouldn't have wanted to stay awake and face the sadness that overwhelmed me. Well, I guess Moment Ten: Family Time with Charlie was over.

Review, perhaps?
Yes, I think so.
Please, it can even be one word, seriously.
But maybe not… I mean if your going to take the trouble to review then you may as well write, you know, a sentence.
(Tee hee hee, I am silly. XD)
