I don't own Twilight, but I think we all know that by now. I don't have a song for this one.

Edward did come over that night, with Alice right behind him. He looked amazing, better then I would have imagined in over 100 years of memories.

"Bella. I need to talk to you." Why else would he be here other than to talk? He still had that Tanya girl back at his house, I'm sure she didn't what was happening.

"Go ahead, talk." I sat down on the couch with him sitting right next to me. Alice was nowhere to be seen.

"What happened? Back in 1846? I came to look for you, to make sure you were alive, but you weren't there."

"Guess where I was. In the woods, burning." I winced at the painful memory. "I went to look for you to, to make sure that he kept his promise, not to hurt you, but when I got there your family was getting ready for your funeral, so I ran."

"He promised he would never hurt her." He mumbled so low I almost didn't hear it. You'll thank me one day. I was thanking him and as much as I hate to admit it, I was glad for those 100 years. Years that made me realize how much I truly did love Edward.

"He said I would thank him one day. He said I would be with you someday. I never believed him. I thought he was lying." He seemed to be convincing himself, not me.

"Edward, I already thanked him. As soon as you remembered me he was forgiven."

"He swore he would never hurt you! He told me he would have nothing to do with you if I let him have what he wanted. He promised." By the end of his little rant, he was whispering. Neither of us knew who exactly he was, but I don't think we cared.

"Edward, let it go. It's done. You don't know who he is or where he is. You can't find him, and besides that was over 100 years ago. I doubt he'll know who we are now."

"You're right. I just – I couldn't believe he would do this to you. You don't deserve this life. Living for that many years alone. I could barely make it to the Spanish influenza in Chicago on my own." He was there. I was so close to seeing him.

"You were in Chicago? In 1918?" He looked confused.

"Yes?" It came out like a question.

"So was I, helping Carlisle – Cullen! You live with Carlisle now?" I couldn't believe it. Just the man I would've liked to talk to again.

"Yes, I do. How do you know that?" I paused, thinking of how to word my answer.

"I was… helping him with patients who had the Spanish flu. I worked at the hospital with him in Chicago. We were so close. I probably would've seen you if I had left a day later. Carlisle told me he found someone in Chicago. I never would've dreamed it would be you."

"You were there? Helping out?" He looked like he couldn't wrap his mind around the idea. I sorting all of this information out in my head, when I realized something.

"You lied to them, all of them. No one knows your real past. Why did you do it?"

"Bella, I couldn't tell them. I wasn't strong enough. It hurt too much to think of you gone and my past was you. I couldn't talk about it to anyone. Carlisle, he would try to understand, but he wouldn't. Esme, she would feel sorry for me all the time, and my brothers and sisters, they wouldn't know, they each have someone, but you were gone."

"What about Tanya? Don't you have her?" I didn't think this would be a good idea if she were in this, too.

"Sort of. She's there, for when I needed her, but she thought I loved her. She thought she loved me. I don't what to do with her now."

"Edward, I can't do this, if she's still here. I can't just come in out of nowhere and make it look like I'm stealing you from her. I don't need another enemy."

"Another?" Oops. I didn't mean to say that.

"Long story. I guess I'll tell you later." He would hold that to me. He always made me tell.

"You better. I should get going, everyone is probably wondering what happened to me and Alice."

"Where did she go anyway?" I hadn't seen her since she walked into the house, unusually quiet.

"Looking through your closet." I guess I should've seen that coming. "Before I go, can I try something?" He stepped closer to me and all I could was nod, all coherent thoughts flew out of my mind.

His lips came closer and closer to mine. I stood on my toes, wanting to get closer to him. His cool lips pressed to mine and I eagerly kissed him back.

"Edward! What are you doing with her? You're with me, remember? You can't just go kissing her, you've only known her for two days!" Oh, great look who's here. Tanya, queen bitch.

"I've known her for 169 years, Tanya. I don't go kissing every girl in sight. No, we were never a couple. No I don't want you. I never did. No, I don't think we should move out of the country. You can."

Stupid mind reading thing. Oh, crap, he could read my mind. Alice was standing around the corner, silently laughing and mouthing 'No he can't' to me. Oh, good I would be thoroughly embarrassed.

"Oh, Tanya," I decided to have the last words here. "Edward doesn't like you. I think you should go find someone who does. No one here does, I think I can tell that much and I've only been here two days."

She looked mad to put it nicely. I think she was deciding whether she wanted to kill me here or where there was no one to stop her. She stormed out the front door and slammed it shut.

"She's going to be back, I hope you know that." I thought she would be. She isn't the type of girl would give up so easily.

"When? I think she needs to learn a lesson."

"A month." Alice said at the same time Edward said, "Bella, you're not going to be anything stupid."

"Of course I won't, Edward. I'm not like her. Can I meet you entire family now?" I asked, hoping to change the subject. He looked pleased I would ask him that.

"Alive, why were you here?" I questioned, just now thinking of it.

"I wanted to see this happen, so I came. It was pretty funny. Tanya's so used to getting everything she wants on a silver platter."

There you have it, another chapter. I have a question for you guys. What do you think Bella's power should be? No, she hasn't figured it out yet, she's been living by herself all this time, remember? So review and let me know! Thanks!
