At the house everyone looked normal, nobody seemed worried, except Carlisle. Who was sat in the dining room staring out the window. He was the only one who registered my entrance. As soon as he saw me he got up from his chair and walked straight to me at an inhuman pace. "Bella" his voice washed over relief as he placed his hand on my shoulder.

"You wanted to talk to me?" I couldn't hide the distress in my voice.

"Yes, but not here, please, come with me" he turned and walked out the front door. I looked at Alice whose face was blank but also distressed; she must have been seeing something in the future. I walked through the door to follow Carlisle, there was a loud gasp from behind me and then Carlisle was at my side making me walk faster,

"Don't worry, Alice is fine" it must have been Alice who gasped.

"Carlisle, where are we going?" I was beginning to worry as we got further and further into the trees.

"Just a little farther."

He stopped at a clearing in the trees, at a first glance, it looked familiar, when I looked closer I realised, it was mine and Edwards meadow. "Carlisle, what's going on?" I turned to look for something in his expression, but he was gone. I walked further into the meadow and lied down.

The sunlight squinted through the trees from another direction now. I jolted upright, sensing that I wasn't alone. I gazed around me, paying close attention to the shadows, maybe Carlisle was back. Or Alice. But it was neither Carlisle nor Alice who stepped out from the shadows, stood there in the sunlight he was mesmerising. Beautiful, everything about him was beautiful. Almost as beautiful as Alice. But I'm sure that was the problem, he was almost as beautiful as Alice. I love him almost as much as I loved Alice, and Alice would never love me like I loved her. But was that reason enough to stay with Edward? Would it hurt him to know how I really felt?

"Edward, is that you?" he was walking too slowly. But before I could blink he was at my side,

"Yes love, it's me" there was a tormented look on his face, like he was arguing with himself. Then he but the full power of his eyes on me, "I love you Bella" his face was apologetic now,

"I love you too Edward" that was true, enough, I did love him. But I loved someone else too. He took my hand and held it against his face, "Do you really Bella?" I was sure now, that he knew.

"Yes Edward, I really do love you." I did, didn't I? But if that was true, why did it feel so wrong to tell him.

"But you also love another. Correct?" Oh god, he definitely knows. And Alice must know too. I hung my head in shame as I could feel the tears stinging my eyes, my answer was nothing but a mumble, "Correct" the sobs came then, but when I looked up he was smiling.

"Am I also correct in saying this other 'person'" and I didn't miss the emphasis on person, he knew exactly who it was "is not male?" I could feel my cheeks burning now and the sobs came in great gasps, "Yes" I looked at him and could see he was fighting a smile, but shouldn't he be angry with me?

"Bella, its ok" sure.

"How is it ok?" his smile was very apologetic now, like he had offended me, "Bella, I knew before you did, and Alice knew before the both of us. You say a lot in your sleep love." If Alice already knew, then what did she gasp at back at the house?

"Oh Edward, I'm sorry" I curled up against his chest and he cradled me in his arms, "Bella it's honestly fine. All I want is for you to be happy." I opened my mouth to speak but he stopped me, "I know, I know, I do make you happy. But who makes you happier?" I held him tighter, convinced my answer would hurt him, "You're not alone Bella. I'm still going to love you, we're all still going to love you. And I'm not alone either; Jasper is in the same position as me." He started laughing, had I missed something?

"Jasper?" He took my face in his hands and wiped away my tears, "She loves you too Bella. As much as you love her, if not more." It was silent enough now that I could hear my heart stuttering as his words sunk in. she loves me too. Like I loved her. Edward was suddenly tense his gazed fixed on something behind me, he soon relaxed but kept his eyes looking behind me. I turned to see what he was looking at and understood instantly as my heart skipped another beat, or two. He kissed me, with much more force than he ever had before, stood up, and then walked over to where she was standing. She looked so graceful, even stood still. They appeared to be having a conversation, but their lips were moving so fast it was difficult to tell. Edwards's expression seemed almost happy I was glad, which is much more than I'd hoped for, and Alice looked beautiful, she was always beautiful in my eyes. Pleased that everything had gone so well, I lied back down in the grass, closed my eyes, and let my mind drift back to last nights dream.
