Face Down

"I think I'll stay as long as she does."

After that, and a bit more chatting between everyone, they went their own ways. Rosalie and Emmett to the garage, Edward and Bella to their room to listen to music and read, hopefully, Alice and Jasper to the mall, Carlisle to his office, and Esme to her and Carlisle's room to do some sort of art work.

Ian and I were alone, but neither of us left. instead, I took him to Rosalie and Emmett's room, and told him what to not sit on, according to Edward, and we started to talk.

"So, I couldn't help but notice that you sighed in relief when you found out your wife died," I started, "I don't want to be rude, but why?"

"It's sort of a long story…"

"We're vampires, we have all the time in the world," I pointed out.

He laughed, then mumbled, "I guess we do."

"Please tell me?"

"Well, when I married my wife, her name was Jessica, I loved her a lot, and for some reason, as soon as I saw her, I knew I loved her, but over time, that feeling dimmed and then disappeared, and I didn't love her as much. That feeling wasn't really strong when I first met her anyway, but it is with you."

I was in awe. Was he trying to tell me that he could sense love? But he only said with himself…

"So…you sense love?" I asked, "did you sense any with any of the other Cullens?"

"Yeah," he started to say, "it's sort of like a mix of seeing and feeling, actually."

"How so?"

"Well, for me, I can feel something trying to pull me towards that person, especially now, but I sort of see a line sort of thing connecting us too. It's kind of weird. For the others, I see a line, for all of them it's really thick, connecting two together."

"So you can sense and see love? Even true loves?" I was still a little confused.

"Yeah," he said, "It sort of makes me feel like I should be glued to you."

"What did you feel about Carlisle and Esme?" I asked.

I was going to ask him about everyone, because I knew they loved each other, from Alice telling me, and I wanted to see if he could see it.

"Their line is huge. More than three inches wide, and the longest I saw as a human was one inch wide. They must really love each other." He said, like he wished he had that kind of relationship.

"How wide is ours?" I asked, wondering.

"Around two inches," Ian started, "But I know for a fact that we can make it wider with time."

"How do you know?" I wondered.

"It happened with my wife. Our line was a half inch wide when we first met, it got to be an inch wide in a few months, and stayed there for over three years. We had tried for kids over and over again, but it didn't work. After those few years, when she started drinking alcohol daily, the line slowly faded, and a year later, it disappeared. I stayed with her after that because I knew she would kill herself and I didn't want that to happen, even if I didn't love her anymore."

"Oh…" I murmured, sad for him.

He didn't seem to want the sympathy though.

"It doesn't matter," Ian started, "She did that to herself."

"What about everybody else?" I asked.

"They're all the same as Carlisle and Esme."

This shows that he does have the power he says he does. It explains everything too! Why I didn't want to leave him when he was in pain, and why I felt the need to talk with him now. It explains everything! I'm so excited!

But it doesn't explain if I actually want to stay with the Cullens, or if our relationship will go down the drain in a few years like his with his wife's did. Do I really love him? I don't know.

It didn't matter though, because all I needed to do was take him to Carlisle and tell him!

"Come on, Ian! We have to tell Carlisle!"

a/n while this chapter is longer than I expected, it's still probably one of the shortest chapters I've written…and for that, I'm sorry. I'm going to warn you again, for those who didn't read the top, I may not update tomorrow!!!
