A/N: So sorry for taking ages to upload. A lot of studying being done. I know my exams are until May, but my dad has made me start now. I have to do 2-3 hours a night, so only ever have time at weekends really to type up the new chapters.

Anyway, there has been a slight change in chapter order. It now goes: chapter 1, chapter 3, prologue, chapter 2, chapter 4. Sorry if I have confused you all. Hopefully you do get it though. But from now on, the chapters will be going in the normal order e.g the next chapter will be the follow on from this one.

Well hopefully you enjoy this one. It took a while to write. Let me know of any mistakes you see and I will edit it.

I woke up, not quite registering what time it was. I looked over to the clock next to my bed to see the red lights flashing five to eleven at night. When had I fallen asleep? I lay my head back down on my pillow remember more information from the night of the accident.

As Edward mumbled those four words down the phone to Carlisle, my eyes filled with heavy pools of water. The tears fell silently down my cheeks, leaving a light trail of water. I heard Edward snap his phone shut, before he pulled me into a tighter hug, holding me close to him. I could feel his lips on the top of my head as he inhaled the scent of my hair. I continued to cry, even whilst Edward lifted me up, cradling me in his arms, and carried me back to his car. I wasn't really paying that much attention to notice where we were going, but the last thing I remembered was my head leaning against the cool glass window of Edwards Volvo.

I came back to reality, realising that Edward wasn't here. I rolled over on my bed, to see a crumpled bit of paper on the pillow next to the one I was using.

Bella, my love.

I have gone home to see Carlisle. I needed to speak to him about some things. You looked peaceful so did not want to wake you. Will be back as soon as I can my angel.

Love Edward

I smiled at the thought Edward coming back soon, but I missed him being here with his arms wrapped securely around me. Also, what was he away to speak to Carlisle about? This puzzled me, but I decided it didn't matter at the moment.

I finally managed to pull myself out of bed, to go and have another shower. This time I showered quickly, before pulling my pyjamas back on – I didn't see the point in dressing at eleven o'clock at night. I walked down stairs to pick up something to eat, but decided against it. I couldn't eat or drink right now. I haven't like this ever: even Edward leaving was worse than this. But, none the less, the pain was still excruciating.

I went and curled up on the armchair in the living room, allowing myself to drift off. I don't know how I managed to fall asleep, but sleep sounded like the best thing for me at the moment. I felt a pair of cold hands under my body, carrying me to my room, before laying me back down on my bed. I woke up as I felt a light kiss being planted on my forehead.

'Edward. Your back' I smiled at this thought.

'Yes love, I am. Now sleep and we will talk in the morning.' He kissed me lightly on the lips before cradling me in his arms and humming my lullaby.

'Bella, darling. You need to wake up. You need to go and see Billy with Charlie.' I whispered to her before kissing just below her ear. I heard her heartbeat speed up, before she finally turned herself over to look at me.

'I know it will be hard for you love, but Charlie needs you, as does Billy. I can come with you if you want, but I think you need to be with your father and Billy alone.' She didn't say anything but sighed instead. Finally she spoke, but her voice was cracking.

'Your right, but I would prefer if you came. At least that way, I might be able to keep myself together.' She looked at me, directly in the eyes. This time she dazzled me.

'Ok, but only if your dad is happy with that decision, since he was the one to ask you to go along.' I smiled back down at her, before she sighed and gave in. She peeled herself away from my body, before grabbing some clothing and heading to the bathroom. I heard the water turn on, so I settled down with one of her books: Wuthering Heights.

I left abruptly from Edward's arms realising that I must have had morning breath. I quickly grabbed some clothing and walked out without saying anything. He knew what I was doing anyway, so I didn't see the point in telling him.

I got the bathroom, pulled my pyjamas off and got into the shower. The water scalded my skin, but I didn't care. Jacob had been taken away from me. My best friend. It was finally sinking into me that I would never see him again. Never! As I let the tears fall down my face once again, I thought back to all the good times I had with Jacob: fixing up the old Rabbit and the motorbikes, going to cinema, and just hanging out with him and his friends. The tears came harder as I turned the water off, and stepped out of the shower. I wrapped the towel round myself before standing in front of the mirror above the sink. I gasped a little at the site of myself. I had black rings underneath my eyes, which were red from crying; my hair, even after washing it, still didn't shine the glorious colour of brown. I signed, before pulling my clothes on and walking back to my bedroom.

I opened the door slightly, to peer in and saw Edward lying down on my bed, reading Wuthering Heights. I giggled silently, but knew he would hear me. He didn't look up at me though but instead carried on reading the book. I stepped inside my room closing the door behind me. Dumping my pyjamas in a pile and sitting down at my dressing table, I picked up my brush and started to brush my hair gently. I sighed again and gave up, putting the brush back down on the table. Within the next minute, Edward had wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me up before resting me back down on his lap in the chair. He picked up the brush and continued to brush my hair in silence. I looked over to her alarm clock to see the numbers changing to half past ten. I smiled at the feel of Edward's hand holding my waist, whilst the other held the brush tightly as it brushed through my hair. I rested one of my hands on his thigh just as he lay the brush down one the table. Both of his hands wrapped around my waist and pulled me tightly towards him. He rested his head on my shoulder lightly, and kissed my neck repeatedly, leaving a trail of fire. My smile grew. I turned and looked at him, before leaning in to kiss him lightly on the lips. I half expected him to pull away, but instead he moved one of his hands up to the back of my neck and pulled me closer. He deepened the kiss for a moment, before releasing me.
