Sudden Request

I was still crying my heart out when there was a soft tap on the door.

"Bella," Edward whispered as he closed the door gently behind him, his voice strangled with pain. It was obvious he had heard everything, from Billy's words to my ugly sobs. Again, I had ruined his day, the very moment that other couples claimed to be the best.

My arms reached out for him and before I could blink, he was all around me.

"Edward," I whispered in his ear, tears still streaking my cheeks, "I'm so sorry."

He lightly kissed my forehead. "Don't be sorry, love. You did nothing wrong."

"No," I protested, backing away from his embrace. Why was everyone like that? Why couldn't they blame me for my sins for once? "I did everything wrong! Don't protect me anymore, Edward! I don't deserve you or Jacob, but here I am, selfishly destroying both your lives!" My voice broke and squeaked and my heart hurt so much.

His kind golden eyes locked with mine in such a way that for a second, I felt at ease. His soft lips pressed against mine and I could feel tears welling up again.

Suddenly, he pulled back. I blinked, confused.

"You love him," he murmured.

I tried to smile at him. "Not as much as I love you."

"Bella, you still love him. You need him in your life."

Of course, he saw right through me. I couldn't hide the fact that I loved Jacob, that I still loved him more than I should although I forced myself not to.

I knew it was wrong, but I still wanted him to be mine.

Horrified at my own selfishness, I started sobbing again. How could I be so terrible after everything they had done for me? How could I betray Edward and torture Jacob? What kind of monster was I?

"Bella, it's okay," Edward said gently, stroking my hair. "I'll bring him back."

His words slowly reached me. I couldn't believe it.

"Oh, Edward!" I cried gleefully, hugging him as tight as I could.

But just as I was about to crush his lips with mine, I felt stubborn, cold, and ashamed. Edward was always out there doing something for me, always giving me what I wanted, forever telling me that everything was going to be alright. It wasn't right. I had to do something for him, to become something that could protect such a perfect immortal. My mind began to race and suddenly, I came up with a crazy thought. The craziest yet.

"Edward, wait," I whispered in a low voice, afraid that someone might hear. "Is Carlisle here?"

Confused, he murmured, "No, but he will return soon. Why?"

A mischievous grin spread across my face.

"Before you go, Edward, my husband, your wife has one request. Will you accept it?"

He rolled his eyes. "What is it?"

"Do you accept?" I repeated.

Chuckling at my pleading tone, he gave up at once and nodded. I smiled in triumph.

"Change me," I said, staring into his golden eyes widening in horror.

Backing away from me, he murmured my name like a death sentence, "Bella…"

"You promised, Edward," I reminded him threateningly. He shook his head in despair.

"Can't this wait?" he whispered, avoiding my eyes. "Let me find Jacob first."

His words pained me as if it was his duty to find Jacob and restore him to me. Like it was his purpose to do everything I selfishly wanted.

"No, Edward. Now. Jacob can wait."

"Why now?" he asked, his voice almost pleading.

I didn't answer his question. I couldn't because I didn't know the exact answer myself. It was just a sudden urge, something that I felt needed to be done. I wanted to help him for once, to be by his side and do something for him. Because I loved him so unconditionally.

And that reason wasn't good enough for Edward.

"Edward, please."

As I approached him, I was glad that the wedding dress left my neck bare. Again, I was doing this so selfishly, to meet my own needs. But everything would be different when my life was all over. When this life was all over and my transformed one began.

My face was against his chest and my heart was strangely calm. I went on my tiptoes until his lips slightly brushed my neck. He tried to cower away but I locked my arms around his head and pulled.

"Bella…" he sighed. He knew he was already defeated. I stifled my laugh and closed my eyes, preparing myself.

"Edward," I whispered in his ear, "kiss me."

And as if he couldn't resist the temptation himself, his cold teeth softly made contact with my skin and a burning flame started inside me, threatening me to scream.

"Stay with me," I managed to get out the words while I choked on my cries and tears. I felt myself slide out of Edward's arms and saw a glimpse of the terrified expression on his beautiful face before nothing but darkness surrounded me.
