EPOV

A week had passed since Emmett and Rosalie came back home. They were off scouting for there own flat or bungalow to move into. My throat was A LOT better and I could actually breath properly. I stopped taking medicine now because I was well again. Sometimes I am thankful that I have a doctor as a Dad and sometimes I'm not. He gets good pay so he could easily look after us if something bad were to happen to the family.

Today Mum thought it was quite an emotional day, one reason is because we were heading of to Dartmouth. And the other, she thought that she will never see me or Izzy again. I think that's just an over reaction.

I was currently in my room packing all of my books into a box when I stumbled across a note. The writing on it was small and scribbled so I could barely read it. I picked it up and saw that on one side was my name. then underneath it had the name Alice.

I didn't want to read it. It would bring back all the memories but my curiosity got the better of me and I opened it up and started to read.

(This is the letter from Alice to Edward)

To Edward,

I wanted you to know that you are my best brother! Well you are sort of my only brother because Emmett is never around. I love you and wanted you to know without me telling you every day so I am giving you this letter.

If anything happens to me then just know that I still love you and always will.

Love,

Alice.

(End letter, yes I know that Alice writes really good for her age but its just easier for me)

Tears filled my eyes as I folded the letter back up and placed it in the book I found it in. The title caught my attention. It was called 'Love Never Dies' one of my music books. I placed the book in the box and sealed it up.

After about an hour or two, I had finished packing and was just waiting for Izzy to arrive with her truck. Yes she got a new car as well as the red jeep she owns. It was a silver pick up truck but the modern sort, not the cheap and tacky ones.

I helped my Dad drag the boxes down the two flights of stairs before being crushed in a bone smashing hug. I thought it would be Emmett but as I turned around I saw that it was my Mum. She had tears streaming down her face and a load of tissues in her hands.

"Mum? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" I asked confused.

She sniffled.

"Because my baby is all grown up and leaving to go to college, do you have to go?" more tears flowed from her eyes as I answered her.

"Sorry Mum but yes, I promise we will visit you every chance we get and maybe we will take a few months of soon for a break" I reassured her.

She nodded her head.

"You better visit me or I shall get rid of your beloved Bike!" she was teasing so I was glad she was feeling better about me moving away.

"Love you Mum" I told her.

She gasped and smiled at me before kissing my nose and replying.

"I love you too baby, have fun and phone me when you get there" I laughed at her pushiness and promised I would.

Moments later Izzy pulled into the drive and got out the car. She made her way over and was tackled by my Mum. I took this time to talk to my Dad.

He had a pained look on his face. I stood next to him and asked,

"You okay Dad?" he looked at me and his face softened a bit.

He held out a box and gave it to me.

I took it from his hands and opened it, wondering what it could be. Inside was a gold ring with a large white diamond in the middle with some more smaller ones around half of the band.

I gasped and looked back up to see him smiling at me.

"I…wah?…..Dad….. What is this for?" I was speechless as I tried to form a sentence. Stuttering a few times.

"It was your grandmothers engagement ring, we want you to have it and when you feel that time is right, we want you to give it to Izzy" I stared at him and nodded, placing it in my pocket. How did he know I wanted to marry her?. He patted my back before hugging me good bye.

Emmett said bye to us yesterday when he left again and wished us good luck.

I loaded my things into the back of Izzy's truck and climbed into the passenger seat. Yes she was driving. She wouldn't let me anywhere near her baby. That hurt to hear. It sounded like she loved the car more than me!

we knew it would take at least one day to get to Dartmouth so we had to leave quite early. She climbed into the drivers side and started up the engine, turning the radio on. As we pulled out of the drive we waved goodbye to my parents. I wasn't going to see them for at least 7 months. To be honest, I was going to miss them. Remember I'm a Mummy's boy at heart.

We just got onto the high way when Izzy turned on the CD she had in the disc drive.

I groaned at what it was.

"What?" she narrowed her eyes at me. I laughed at her and complained.

"Beyonce? Seriously?" I groaned out. Her eyes turned into annoyed little slits.

"And what is wrong with Beyonce?" she asked sounding almost hurt.

"Nothing, I just think that it's weird" she huffed annoyed.

"Well I don't complain about your music!" she argued.

"What is wrong with some classical music?" now I was offended how can she not like piano music!

"Piano is just weird, don't get me wrong some songs are okay but, no"

"See you do complain about my music!"

"Only 'coz you do!"

"Well at least the some people like what I do" I mumbled. She did not know that I play piano and that the songs I listen to were made by me.

It was quiet for a long time after that. Not the comforting silence you get when you are with the person you love but the awkward kind. The kind were you have just come out of a fight and have to stay put because they are giving you a ride some where.

"I'm sorry" I heard her whisper. We were now pulling into the drive for the college. And I was still pissed at her.

I got out of the car and started getting my things. Luckily we were parked right next to our dorm room. We checked in online so we don't have to go to the office and we already have maps and our schedules. I took my things into the room and set them on the bed. True I had to share a room with Izzy, in the same bed. I just might be able to handle it, I'm not sure at the moment.

"Edward? Baby, talk to me please?" she pleaded, I could hear her sniffling which only meant one thing. She was starting to cry. I hate it when she cries. It upsets me more than her. Well in my mind any way. I turned towards her, she was on the other side of the room so that didn't help much. I walked across the room until I reached her.

She had her head down with her hair creating a wall around her, her shoulders were shaking and she was playing with her fingers.

"Honey" I whispered to her, so quiet I hardly heard it my self but I knew she did because she lifted her head towards me.

"Honey, come here"

I held out my arms and she gently walked into them, burying her face into my shirt at the crook of my neck.

I wrapped my arms around her waist and rested my hands just above her hips. She was starting to calm down now. I pulled her to me tighter and rested my head on top of hers, smelling her hair. She smelt like strawberries and freesia. So nice. I was starting to relax more and forgive her now.

"I'm sorry Edward" she managed to get out in between deep breathes.

"Shh…. It's okay Baby….. It's okay" I left one hand on her hip and brought the other one up to her head. I gently stroked her hair and kept whispering to her.

"I don't like it when we fight Edward, it scares me" her breath caught in her throat. I gently tilted her head up towards my face and looked her in the eyes. She saw my expression and softened in my arms.

"Neither do I honey. Even if we do fight or argue for a while, just know that I will always love you. No matter what" I told her.

"I love you too"

I pressed my lips to hers and softly kissed her. It wasn't urgent and rough. It was soft, gentle and passionate. We pulled away after a few minutes and sat down on the bed. I pulled her into my lap and held her for a while.

"I just realised that next week is your birthday" she told me.

I groaned.

"Don't remind me about it"

"Why not?" she asked in amusement.

"I'm getting old" I mumbled.

"Edward! You are only going to be 19!" she said. "That is not old, just wait until you turn 30 and all the grey hair comes shining through" she teased laughing.

I poked her side and she squirmed away from me.

"It's not nice to make fun of people! Plus you are only a little bit younger than me so" I left the sentence like that and stuck my tongue out at her.

"True, but I don't mind as long as I'm with you" she kissed my nose and changed her clothed before going into bed and falling asleep.

"Love you baby" I whispered to her sleeping form.

I changed into my boxers and climbed into bed behind her.

She sighed as I wrapped and arm around her waist, resting my hand on her stomach. My other arm laid beneath her head.

I fell asleep quickly hoping that things will get better.
