A/N: ok this story is going to be short because I don't like it when stories fit in multiple dramatic story lines into one, so I think this story has enough drama, and this is my last chapter. I don't have too much intrest in this story line. But if it did inspire any of you then use it, I will totally read it! But its just hard to come up with new things for the story line, so like I said this is farewell to this story. And it does have a happy ending!
ENJOY!!
EDWARD POV
How was I supposed to tell Bella that she would probably die within the next two weeks if I didn't change her? What if because I had left she didn't want to be with me anymore? The only option I had was to let her decide. I took a deep, unneeded breath, and walked into Bella's room. She was talking to Alice. She was laughing. I had longed for so long, too long, to hear her laughter.
"Alice, can I talk to Bella alone for a moment?" I asked Alice.
"Of course. But don't take too long, she and I have a lot of catching up to do," Alice said with a wink, and danced out of the room.
I walked over to Bella's side and sat in the chair beside her bed. I grabbed her hand gently. I held on tightly as did she. Ok, I thought, this is a good sign, she isn't pushing me away. This can all work out. "What is it Edward?" Bella asked.
"You have a decision to make."
"And what might that decision be?" she smiled. I bet she hadn't smiled in a long time, that broke my dead heart.
"Bella, unless you happen to get a heart donation within the next week to week and a half, you are going to die. And the decision I have made is I am never leaving your side again. Even if it means changing you. But you need to decide if you want to…die," I could barely get the word out, "or if you want me to change you so we can be together, forever."
BELLA POV
I don't know what I was more shocked at, Edward saying he would change me, or that if he didn't I would die. I felt like one of those stupid girls, the ones that get all broken up after their boyfriend breaks up with them, and the second the guy decides they want them, the girl is back in his arms, no questions asked. I knew Edward and I were different. We weren't you average high school couple, even though we weren't in high school anymore. Something was different with us, and it wasn't the fact that Edward was a vampire. There was something real between us.
"Ok, I haven't made a decision yet, but I do have a question." I said.
That made him smile. It made my weak heart melt. "Of course you do, when don't you?" Edward laughed.
"Ok, how do I know you aren't going to leave me again?" this was the hardest question I had, for both him, and me.
"Bella, I know you think I am strong, but I'm not. I almost died the first time I left, I can't do it again. I am just not strong enough for that," every word he spoke was the truth.
"Edward, you better be telling the truth because if you do leave I will die. The first chance I get I will off myself. You better know that," I gave him a stern look full of pain from the first time he left me. I felt the tears that I had cried daily since she left, well up in my eyes.
Edward noticed and for the first time in two years he held me in his arms. "I am NOT going to leave you, even if you want me to. I am not going anywhere Bell. I belong with you. I learned that the hard way, but at least I got to you before it was too late."
I wrapped my arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms tighter around my small waste, smaller than the last time he saw me. I think he noticed too because he drew back. The tears were still in my eyes, but they had yet to fall.
"Did you stop eating too?" he asked concerned.
I looked down. I couldn't look at him in the eye. It was true. I barely ever ate. Some pretzels and crackers here and there, but not much else. I couldn't afford it. The only money I had I spent in bars. It had been like this since I dropped out of college. Before that really. I barely ate right after he left too. I was too depressed. I was too lonely.
"Bella…," he held me close again. It was like he read my mind, and knew why I was literally skin and bones.
"I can't live like this anymore, Edward. I am single handedly killing myself. Yesterday I would have been happy about that, but now, with you here…I can't do it anymore," I let the tears fall. I cried into his shoulder, soaking his shirt.
"I love you, Bella," Edward whispered into my ear.
"I love you too," I said. The tears started to subside.
We sat like that for awhile. I made up my mind.
"Edward, I know what I want to do." I said.
He pulled away from me. His eyes shown of fear, excitement, sadness, love, and anger.
"Edward, I want you to change me. Now that you are back, I can't imagine spending another day without you."
He smiled, happiness and love where all that was left in his eyes. I knew I had made the right decision. Then he leaned forward and kissed me. It was passionate, but still guarded. It was pure bliss.
"I should go talk to Carlisle so we can figure out a plan. I am sure Alice will be in any moment to talk to you." He got up and left, and sure enough Alice came into the room. A goofy smile plastered across her face.
"FINALY EDWARD HAS SEEN THE LIGHT!" she cheered.
I laughed.
We talked for awhile, then Carlisle and Edward came in.
"Ok, Bella this is the plan…" Carlisle went on talking about how they would make it look like I had flat lined. Then they would take me away, and spring me from the hospital. Then go back to their mansion in Forks, where Edward would change me.
THREE DAYS LATER….
The burning finally stopped. I looked up to see my one and only looking down at me. He was smiling at me. My head was in his lap. I closed my eyes enjoying the feeling of him stroking my hair.
This was how my life was meant to be. Edward and I forever. Who knows what forever will bring, but Edward and I were ready to take it on. Side by side. Hand in hand. Till death do us part.
The End.
A/N: hope you enjoyed my short story. And when I mean short I mean really short. But it is a really hard storyline. But thanks for reading. And I love reviews.
