"Bye." I muttered to myself.

I was tossing and turning all night. I absolutely could not get to sleep!! I felt like crap when I got into the shower in the morning. I took forever to get ready to go to work. Then I had to do my make-up. I usually never wore make-up but I was going to lunch with Alice Cullen today so I wanted to look nice.

As a result of my applying make-up, I was late to work. I rushed inside and set everything up. About four minutes later, a silver Volvo parked in front of the store. A man stepped out of the car and his bronze hair glinted in the sunlight. Oh no. Edward was here. Why was he here?

He walked in the door and gave me a small smile. I think I returned the smile, but I'm not sure. I wasn't really thinking clearly. He stood there looking at me for a moment. I was just looking back, resisting the urge to run to him. Then, my voice kicked in.

"Hello Edward, What can I help you with today?" I asked, very politely if I do say so myself.

"Ummm, I'm supposed to be picking up Jennifer and Rosalie's dresses, remember?" He said, and the silence following implied the ominous duh. I almost smacked my forehead.

"Oh, right, the dresses. They are in the back room. Just hold on a minute." I said, practically running into the back room. I found the dresses quickly and then calmed myself down for a moment. After I composed myself, I walked out and handed him the dresses. No, that didn't really happen. Instead, after I composed myself, I started to walk and then halfway there, I tripped on the hem of Rosalie's dress and fell. As I fell, I heard an awful ripping noise. I fell to the floor, skidding as I went. Great, just what I needed, to fall in front of my boyfriend. No, ex- boyfriend, I corrected myself.

"Oh crap!" I yelled when I fell. I ended up falling right at Edward's feet.

"Here let me help you." He said, bending down to help me up.

"Thanks." I said, trying to get up. As he tried to help me up, my leg got twisted and I ended up falling over again, only this time I brought Edward down as well. With an oof! he landed on top of me. Great, just great.

Staring up at his eyes while he was on top of me almost made me lose it. Then and there I wanted to kiss him. But I only had one reason not to. He doesn't remember me. That kept me from breaking free of these chains that keep me bound to this place. I knew that I couldn't go anywhere else because of Edward. My life shattered when Edward hit his head, and a part of me died. The part of me that wanted to reach out and let go, it wasn't in me anymore. I was just plain old, boring, withdrawn me.

"Sorry," He said, quickly getting up.

"It's okay, I'm sorry actually. I'm so clumsy." I said, my face getting red. I got up myself without his help and made sure nothing was broken.

"You know, you remind me of someone I used to know, but I can't place your face with a name. Is your first name really Veronica?" He asked innocently. I froze, about to look at the dresses. Had he figured me out? I really hoped not.

"No, it's not." I said slowly. He I felt his eyes on my back. Did I want to tell him the truth? Did I want him to know who I really was? I don't know what to do.

"It's not?" He asked, surprised. "What is it then?"

I took a deep breath. It was time to tell the truth. Or was it? Did I want to expose my self this early? I shouldn't, but I had this feeling that I should. I am so confused! What should I do?!

Yes. Tell him the truth and hope he remembers. Then what? He'll dump his fiancée and run off with me to get married. Yeah, that'll happen.

No. Let him believe the lie that you've told him. Who knows how he'll react? Remember what he did before? Great plan.

Lie again. He believed it the first time, didn't he? He thinks I'm trustworthy. But I am trustworthy, aren't I? Except for this huge mess of lies, yeah. What will I do?

I took deep breath.

"Well…"

You guys are going to hate me for the cliffy, but it is necessary. But you guys will also hate me for what I am doing next. After this chapter, I'm going strait to the chapter with Alice and the mystery guest. I will get back to what 'Veronica' says to Edward, but not right away. It should be up by Sunday at the latest. I hope you like the chapter!

Thank you so much to:
