Ah, I'm so sorry it's been forever since I've written! I've just been so caught up in life that I haven't had time!! Please forgive me because ya'll are awesome!!

Bella POV

When Edward drove me home we sat in silence in the driveway for a long time. His classical music played in the background and my head rested on his shoulder.

"What do I tell Charlie?" I finally asked. It was something I'd been meaning to tell him, but everytime I was with Edward he thought it was Jessica.

He laughed. "That you're dating a vampire? Hmm..."

I rolled my eyes and sat up. "I'm serious. I've never had to deal with the whole boyfriend thing. I think he knows, I mean I've been in a much better mood these past weeks."

"Well I could come in and tell him with you," he said with a wink. I shook my head quickly. "No no, that's okay. You'd make it too hard for me to concentrate."

My favorite crooked smile crossed his face and he leaned down close to me.

"How would I do that?" he whispered, blowing his sweet breath on my face. My eyes glazed over and became transfixed as his lips barely touched mine. Unable to control myself, I smashed my lips to hard into his. A little too hard because his front tooth sliced my lip open. We both pulled back in surprise and my hand immediately covered my mouth. I felt the warm liquid oozing from my lip onto my hand and stared wide eyed at Edward. A small trickle of my blood was left on his lip. In the instant that he licked the blood away is face changed. It became distorted with pain and he was shaking. He was pressed hard to his side of the car, his hand clutching the steering wheel, bending it into an odd shape.

"Bella...."his voice was hoarse. "Get out. Hurry, get out. Now!"

My trembling fingers struggle to open the car door. When I finally succeded, I fell from the car onto the ground and quickly stood up.

"Edward?"

But the door was already shut and he was peeling out of the driveway like a mad man. I licked my bloody lip clean and stayed outside in the rain a little longer until my body calmed down.

All that night I could hardly concentrate. I ate dinner without tasting it and zoned out during the Mariners game. I didn't even look at my homework, knowing there was no use. So I kissed Charlie goodnight and went upstairs to bed.

And I sat staring at the ceiling for hours. He hadn't even bothered to call. Or leave a note on my window. He could at least say something.

Edward POV

I got home with the taste of her blood in my mouth. Alice was immediately next to me as I walked inside.

"Edward! I saw! What happened?"

I brushed past her into the living room and kept my fists clenched.

"Nothing. I told her to get out and then I left."

My chest rose and fell ninety to nothing. I knew what I looked like: a mad man. And I was. I almost killed the love of my life, the first day we were officially together.

"Edward, calm down. You controlled yourself. Be proud!"

Rosalie stalked in the room with a smirk.

"You should have just eaten her."

My rage came back and I had her pinned against the wall before she could blink.

"Shut up Rosalie! Do you always have to make things worse!" I hissed.

Her sarcastic eyes changed to fear immediately. "Edward, I-"

But Emmett's hands grabbed my shoulder and pulled me off. My whole body was shaking.

"Everyone just calm down!" he said in his booming voice.

Suddenly the whole family was in the room. "Son, you're doing a brave thing. Just be proud you handled this situation how you did," Carlisle said.

I shook my head. "I could have killed her! What am I thinking! I love her too much for this, I shouldn't be putting her in danger!"

"Edward no!" Alice whispered. "Don't do it."

I ignored her. "There's only one way I can protect her."

Bella POV

The soft, but urgent, taps on my window woke my up. I stood up and opened the window with a yawn. Edward hopped in with ease. My eyes flew open and I practically jumped into his arms.

"Oh Edward! I was so worried! You didn't call and I just, well I don't know. I was just worried," I cried.

But his arms didn't fold tenderly around me. I pulled back and looked up into his eyes. They were almost black.

"Edward?"

"Bella..."

His voice sounded pained. He sat down on my bed and patted the spot next to him. I sat down hesitantly.

"Is everything okay?"

But he wouldn't look at me. "Things are complicated between us."

"So?"

Edward's fists were clenched. What was he saying?

"It's just, well you know how I feel. And yet I put you in danger. You saw what happened today. You were so close to being killed! I could never live with myself if I let that happen."

I reached for his hand. He tried to pull away but I grabbed hold before he could. "I don't care! I trust you!"

"You shouldn't. You shouldn't be with me. You should be with someone like Mike Newton," he said.

I shook my head. "But you hate Mike! And I'd never want anyone but you!"

He stood up and dropped my hand. "It's better that way, Bella."

Tears flooded my eyes. "A-are you....are you breaking up with me?"

It came out as a faint whisper. Of course he wouldn't want to be with plain old me. It never made sense.

Edward nodded. "I'm so sorry."

And then with nothing else, he disappeared out the window.

~.~

The hours went by slow. The seconds ticked by with each tear that fell on my pillow. It was all over again. Another person I loved gone, out of my life. Why couldn't anyone keep their promises and stay! What was the point of even living now. I had nothing again.

I let the pain rip open the wounds of my heart that Edward had sealed. It felt like someone was pouring acid inside my body and I was slowly shutting down. My happiness was gone again.

Things never changed.

Short I know! But I thought you all needed a small tidbit! Leave some love!
