Chapter 3

Alice could see Bella was on the verge of tears, she knew it was inevitable. But she was trying desperately to calm her down before it came to that.

"How could he assume it would all be ok. That I would just accept his proposal and all would be forgotten? He left me! Not only that, but he said he didn't love me, like it all meant nothing to him. But because he says he's sorry and he lied its suppose to be ok?"

"Well no…" Alice started but Bella quickly cut her off, not ready to let go of her rant just yet.

"Exactly! And if he thinks he's going to dazzle me so I forget he's wrong!" She said and Alice grabbed her hand and pulled her on the bed.

"Breath," she said and waited for her breathing to even out before she said anything else. "I know Edward is doing this all wrong. But he loves you and he's confused. He never imagined you two would see each other again and now he's figuring out what to do now that you are. He was hurting just as much as you were."

"I know that, and I know he loves me. But how could he expect me to forget all the anger and pain I had so quickly? I was depressed for months, I cant just let that go because he says he was wrong." She said and wiped away her fallen tears. "I wish it was easy, that we could just fall back to the way we were. You know be 'us' again, but its not that simple."

"Bella, you're a human in love with a vampire, nothing is ever going to be simple." Alice said and Bella had to smile.

"Then change me, make me a vampire in love with another vampire!" She nearly screamed and Alice shook her head.

"I can't, that is between you and Edward, lord knows I keep telling him its inevitable." She said, getting just as frustrated as Bella.

"Alice did you have visions of my future, you know when I was…" she said and Alice nodded.

"After we left I did for a little while. It was like it I went near Edward sometimes that he'd trigger them and he'd run off for days at a time after he seen them."

"What did you see? Why would he react so badly to them?"

"You were one of us.." she said and looked down at the floor, not finishing her sentence.

"But that's a good thing."

"No, not like that. We didn't change you, Victoria did. She came back and nearly killed you to get to Edward. She wanted to hurt him for taking James away." She said and Bella turned towards the window, knowing how that would have affected Edward.

"But things are different now, aren't they?"

"I don't know, Edward's confused and so are you. Its not clear, one moment you're a vampire and with Edward, the next I see you married with a little girl. You two need to figure some things out before your futures can be decided. Every time you make a choice things change, the path your on changes."

"You're right, we need to talk." She said and took a deep breath. "I'm going to go talk to him, maybe we can figure some things out." She said and Alice kept her mouth shut, knowing her brother wasn't home. She instead headed downstairs to wait for Bella.

"Edward, I'm sor…" Bella started and stopped when she seen the room empty and the window open. "What the hell?" She yelled and headed downstairs to see Esme, Rosalie and Alice on the couch whispering. "Where is Edward?"

"He left," Esme said cautiously and Bella felt the anger rise back in her. He walked out on her -- again! IT was a stupid argument, she didn't want him to leave, she just wanted to cool down.

"Emmet went to find him." Rosalie said and Bella finished her way down the stairs, she went out on the porch and sat on the stairs. She was furious, no matter what she did, she couldn't get him to listen to her. It was like he wasn't paying attention to anything she was saying. She looked up and seen his Volvo and smiled, finally with a plan to get his attention and keep it. She was going to make him deal with her, with the mess they were now in, and in the process also giving them a clean slate to work from.

"Here you go," Alice said as she came out on the porch, handing Bella a baseball bat. "I never noticed it before, but you are a genius." She said and Bella smirked.

"So this is going to work?"

"Absolutely, you will have his UNDIVIDED attention when he returns." Bella nodded and headed down the stairs to the Volvo in the drive way, knowing it was wrong -- but she was going to enjoy it.

"Alice she isn't…" Esme said as Bella took a swing at the car, putting a crack across the windshield.

"I think she is," Alice said as they all sat down on the stairs to watch Bella torture Edward's beloved car.

They all turned to Bella as she started to mumble to herself, feeling better with each swing, as if she was finally getting some justice for all the pain she suffered alone. For the years she spent alone and depressed because half of her was dead.

"I don't know what happened, but this is going to be great." Rosalie said excitedly as she watched Bella finish off the windshield, before heading to the back window.

"Alice how long do I have?" Bella said as she took a break from the window.

"About five minutes," she said and turned to Jasper who was coming out after hearing all the noise.

"Rose, can you do me a favor, just think about this when he gets here please?" She said, knowing Rose would enjoy torturing Edward.

"My pleasure, you have no idea how many times I wanted to do this. But I knew how he'd react and it would just be a big mess."

"Good, because now he's going to have to deal with me." She said and started to feel calm wash over her and fought it off. "Jasper don't, me and Edward need to hash this out one and for all. This is the only way to get his full attention." She said and took one last swing, knocking off the driver side mirror and looking back at her handy work, knowing that he was going to freak out. He nearly had a heart attack when he found a scratch in the paint. She laughed at the memory, remembering how she tried to be serious as he tried to figure out who did it.

"I think he's going to need a new car," she joked and then turned to the forest as she heard a growl that left the ground rumbling. "Guess Edward's home." She said and dropped the bat to the ground at her feet, putting her hands on her hips and bracing herself for the fight of her life.

"Dude she completely messed up your car," Emmet said as he headed to Rose laughing. Edward immediately turned to Rose and his face fell as he realized what happened to his car and then his sights immediately went to Bella. "Wait, Bella how didn't you hurt yourself?" He asked and she shrugged.

"Amazed what determination can do for your coordination." She said and turned back to Edward.

"What the hell Bella?" He said as he walked around the car, seeing all the things wrong with it. "You completely destroyed my car!" He said through gritted teeth.

"You broke my heart, I figured this makes us even." She said, holding her ground and walked over to him, standing with the bat between them. "You pissed off yet?" She said and he didn't answer her, he didn't even move his eyes from his car. He nodded as everyone took off into the woods, leaving them to deal with their problems alone. "Good because so am I! Maybe now you'll understand that, having that rage course through you as you look at something you loved so much damaged for no reason." She said, waiting for a response but got nothing. "Fine don't answer me, don't talk to me, don't fix this." She said and went for the bat but he stopped her, pulling her against him. "Talk to me! That's all I want from you." She said and lifted her hand to his cheek as he leaned into her touch, and she knew she had his attention.

"I'm terrified of loosing you. Of coming home and you not being here. Even when I was in the woods a moment again, and I heard the glass breaking I thought the worst. I immediately thought something happened to you, that you were in danger. I didn't know it was my car."

"I'm not going anywhere, I couldn't leave you if I tried. And your car was just my way of getting your attention. I just wanted you to stop running and deal with me, deal with this."

"That's harder then you think, I want this I really do. But I'm so afraid of messing up, of it somehow all crashing down around us, of me hurting you."

"Then change me, its what I want. What I've always wanted since I figured out what you were! To be with you forever."

"It's not that easy!" He screamed and took a step back. "I want nothing more then an eternity with you, to never have to worry about you getting hurt or dying, but I don't trust myself. What if I loose control, what if I can't stop?"

"Then I'll ask Carlisle, we both know he CAN stay in control."

"No!" He growled and she moved closer to him.

"Why? You said it yourself, you don't know if you can, so why not Carlisle? We both know you trust him."

"Not with your life, I don't trust anyone with your life. You're too important to me. You're everything to me." He said as he trapped her against the car, reaching up to frame her face with his hands.

"Exactly why I want to be immortal, so I can be with you for an eternity. You're my world Edward, and even though I can survive it without you, I don't want to. You are and will always be my reason for living. I know you're my soul mate, my other half. You can stop because I have seen you do it." She said and leaned up to kiss him. She pulled away and leaned into his chest, just staying wrapped in his arms, taking in his scent and the comfort she found there. "Besides, if I weren't all that to you, you would have torn me apart once you seen your car." She said and started to laugh.

"Did you really have to do that? I was coming back to talk to you." He said and pulled back to look at her. "I would have rather you hit me!"

"I thought of that, but your car was more forgiving. Hitting you would hurt, or break the bat. This gets your attention quickly and now we can start over."

"Oh really," he said as he picked her up bridal style and walked to the house.

"Yep, there's too much pain in the past, so lets leave it there and start fresh. We will never be what we were, I'm not the same person and neither are you."

"Ok, but now that I'm getting a new car, so are you." He said and she tried to get out of his arms.

"Wait, no!" She said and he held her tighter. "I love my truck."

"I loved my Volvo, but that didn't matter because it's a link to our past, just like your truck." He said and carried her to his room.

"And what is going to happen my truck?"

"Vandals, someone just stole it."

"Oh did they…" she said sarcastically and pulled him down on the couch with her.

"They will." He said smugly and kissed her again. "Now to discuss our future." HE said and laid her on top of him as he played with her hair. "And can you explain why your hair is black?"

"Needed a change, but I do miss my brown hair and I know Alice has plans to get it back. Claims I'm too pale for black." She said and he laughed. "But she was more concerned with me and you figuring things out then worrying about my hair color. But that's changing the subject, this future you speak of -- am I human?"

"For a little while, I need to talk to Carlisle and I want to make it as painless for you as possible. Plus, there's school to consider."

"Simple, I quit. One I couldn't be a nurse as a newborn, and it will take a while to control myself around that much blood. So that career is pretty much out, at least for a while. I mean its not like I can't go back."

"I thought it was your dream."

"I have other dreams, ones that I could manager sooner."

"Like what?"

"English teacher, share the classics with a new generation." She said and he laughed.

"That would be perfect for you, getting paid to discuss Bronte and Austen. But we do tent to go to high school a lot, you know so we can stay in one spot."

"I'm too old." She said and jumped up, nearly falling off the couch. "I'm older then you, I'm 20 and you're 17." She said, it finally all setting in just how much time they lost with one another.

"Sweetheart, I'm over a hundred."

"You know what I mean." She said and went to hit him but he stopped her.

"We don't want you to break your hand and you look the same as when I left, not a day older. So you will fit in if that's what you want. Or we can also live on our own, have our own lives."

"I don't know and I don't care, as long as I have you." She said and kissed her way up his neck until she got to his ear and whispered, "then nothing else matters."

"Forever and always." He said and kissed here again, finally feeling like they were getting somewhere.
