A/N: This is the real chapter one. This is where you will get your answers of who Ryder really is. And people keep on asking me whether they are vampires or not, they are not vampires. When I do vampires… I have a tendency to get confused. So I stick with my humans 

Disclaimer: Oops! Almost forgot the disclaimer. xD Okay. This is nice and simple and the ONLY disclaimer throughout the whole story. I do NOT own anything that is related to Twilight.

Chapter One

Edward looked at me with a smile, while holding me close to him on my bed. It was a routine for us each time we finished making love. It was always either on my bed or his bed, and even sometimes it was out in our meadow or in his Volvo. Every moment I got to be close to Edward made me happy and made me smile and giddy with joy. I loved him so much, just like how much he loves me.

But for some reason, Edward is looking at me with some pain in his eyes and that caught my curiosity.

"What's the matter Edward?" I asked softly, slowly stroking his cheek.

"Bella, I want to tell you something." He answered, and I suddenly had a bad feeling about the whole thing. The feeling in my gut told me so. I knew he wouldn't want to break up with me…right?

"G-Go…Ah-ahead Edward…." I whimpered back biting down on my bottom lip but not hard enough to break the skin.

For some reason, Edward's eyes looked even more hurt then before. "Bella, I hope you're not thinking that I want to break up with you…are you?" I think I began to shake, because he suddenly pulled me against his body tighter. "Never think that, silly Bella. You're my only woman; I love you with all my heart. No one else can capture my heart away from you."

That reassured me. But then, it scared me even more to what he wants to talk to me about.

"Wh-what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked hesitantly.

Edward's face scrunched up, like he always did when he didn't know what to do. "I'm going to London."

I breathed of relief; he just wanted to go for a vacation. Silly me.

"Oh!"I said with a smile and buried my head into his chest lovingly. "When do you want to go?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow Bella," He whispered softly.

I suddenly shot up, "What?!" I snapped. "Tomorrow?!"

"Yes, tomorrow. My plane leaves tomorrow."

"And you decide to tell me today?!" I screamed, and pulled myself out of his grasp.

Edward pulled me into his grasp again, and held me tightly, "I…didn't know how to tell you Bella, please listen…"

I closed my eyes tightly, and my lips were pressed together and formed a thin line. "How long?"

"How long what?" He asked.

"How long are you going to be gone for?" I knew that if he didn't tell me before, he didn't intend of bringing me but I knew with my stubbornness I wouldn't of let him pay for the plane ticket and since my family is currently not doing so well, I wouldn't of been able to pay for it anyways.

Edward mumbled something, but I couldn't hear it. "What did you say?" I asked.

"Four years…"

Suddenly I jerked myself out of his arms and screamed out at him, "FOUR YEARS?!"

"Four years! It's only four years Bella and then I will be back. I'll be back in your arms, and you'll be back where you belong, in my arms." Edward begged, trying to reason with me.

I knew I was already crying, I knew I couldn't take any of this. "Edward, four years isn't four days! Four years is a long time, how do you expect me to sit here and wait for you to come back? And you know if you do go, we can't see each other for four years."

Edward pulled me into his arms and wrapped them tightly around me. "Bella, I don't care." My heart sunk when I heard those words. "I'm still going to go. This is an opportunity for me, for us! If I make it, it's going to be our future Bella." I tried to push myself away from him, not wanting to even be close to him right now. "Are you going to wait for me?" He asked, in a tone where he sounded desperate and he knew that I couldn't take it and would easily give in.

And I did.

I nodded my head, and wrapped my arms around him tightly, not wanting to lose him. "Yes…yes I will." I said softly, burying my head into the nape of his neck and cried.

We held each other for a while, and he stroked my hair, whispering 'I'm sorry' over and over again to try and calm me down.

After a few more minutes, Edward began to pry himself away from me, "I got to go Bella…I still have to pack."He said as he began to gather his clothes and put them on.

I shook my head, wanting him to put his arms around me again, that was when I felt safe, that was when I felt I was always at the top of the world. "Please…Edward…"

"I'm sorry Bella, I got to go." With that he quickly moved and left my house.

"No!" I shouted, and then suddenly shot up from my bed. I took a deep breath and looked around, realizing where I really was. My first instinct was to turn to my left, and I quickly turned and notice that he was still there. I smiled softly and stroked his hair from his eyes and then kissed him softly on the forehead. "I love you Ryder,"

I pulled him into my arms and he moved gently, a little disturbed from his sleep. I looked at him carefully and kissed him again on his forehead and closed my eyes, falling into a deep sleep.

x-x-x-x-x

Ring Ring Ring Ring

The sound of the alarm clock rang throughout the whole room, and I groaned, not wanting to wake up from my dreamless state. I opened my eyes, and by habit my eyes turned to my left and that's where he laid, still asleep. I smiled to myself and placed my hand on his shoulder and shook him gently.

"Ryder, it's time to wake up." I said softly.

He snored.

I giggled.

"Ryder, baby it's time to wake up," I said again, shaking him more this time.

He opened his emerald green eyes and stared back up at me, and then he frowned.

I frowned back at him and shook my head, "It's time to wake up baby." I said again and dragged him up from where he was sitting. Ryder simply groaned out and whimpered softly, wanting a few more minutes of sleep. "Fives mores minutes pwease?" He asked raising his hand and showing me three fingers.

Internally inside my head, I giggled at how he was acting. "No Ryder, it's time to go to work for Mommy."

He groaned again, wanting to bury himself into his bed but I quickly pulled him up. "Go brush your teeth."

"Buts…"

"No buts," I said waving my finger dangerously at him.

He pouted at me and stood up from where he was sitting and jumped off the bed and ran swiftly into the bathroom.

Watching him was like watching a miniature Edward.

Ryder is my world, my everything and all my hopes and dreams, now and forever.

When Ryder came back out from the bathroom, I couldn't help but just sit there and stare at him for a minute, thinking about Edward, something I should never think about ever again. But when I look at Ryder, I can't help myself but stare.

Ryder soon noticed that I was staring at him, and he tilted his head, this was like a daily routine for us. And as he grew older, the more similar he grew to be like his father, and that just made my heart ache even more. But I love him; love him with all my heart.

"Is mommy thinkings abouts daddy agains?" Ryder asked with a slight pout hanging on his lips. I smiled softly at him, and opened my arms, awaiting for the hug that he would always give me in the morning.

He came over and buried himself into my chest, and I wrapped my arms tightly around his body and nodded my head slightly, "Mommy misses Daddy."

"Mommy hows comes we don'ts wisits daddy?" I stared at my son, and pushed his bronze locks back behind his ears, thinking on how to answer him. When Ryder asked me before, why everyone had a mommy and a daddy while he only had a mommy, I couldn't bear to lie to him. I decided to tell him the truth, that daddy just didn't love us anymore.

And that was the truth.

Edward Masen didn't love me, Bella Swan anymore.

"Bella, sweetheart… I love you like my own daughter." Lie. That is a complete lie. Elizabeth Masen would never like me since I wasn't in her social class. Even someone like me, knew that she didn't like me at all. I even think she detests me and can't wait for Edward to break up with me.

But that will never come true.

Edward and I are in complete love, he would never leave me. Never

"But you know, Edward has been gone for two months now and I had someone spy on him since I found him slightly suspicious and the detective sent pictures back to me! Oh dear lord, how do I tell you my darling this horrible news?"

What I didn't get was what is so horrible about pictures, but I did understand when I saw them.

Edward was holding a beautiful strawberry colored blonde.

She had long legs

A curvaceous body

A beautiful smile

And…

She was rich, something Elizabeth Masen would approve of.

I bit down on my bottom lip, this will not bring down my self confidence, but when I turned to another picture is what broke it down. Tear it into pieces and stomped on cruelly.

He was kissing her.

His arms were around her

They were close…too close.

I began to shake; the pictures were being even blurrier as the minute passed. I turned it again and what I saw next made me drop the pictures and want to throw up.

They were on a bed

He was on top of her

She was…

naked

The photographs dropped out of my hands and fell all over the floor and it scattered. After that picture, there was more.

"Oh Bella darling, I'm sorry for you to see it this way."Elizabeth said, with a depressed look on her face. I knew she didn't mean it at all. "All men just can't control their urges, dear lord my poor baby."

I bet deep inside, she was laughing and growing excited. She was going to finally get what she wanted, a rich, well-mannered, son of a bitch, boyfriend stealer daughter-in-law and get rid of the girl that her son has been going out with for many years that is in a lower social class.

But what she doesn't know is that not only is she getting rid of me, but she's going to get rid of her grandchild.

That's right, I'm pregnant.

Right now, I could probably just blurt out that I'm pregnant with Edward's child but I knew she wouldn't believe me. If it's the Elizabeth Masen I know she's probably going to accuse of me lying and being a whore and sleeping around and being a gold-digger trying to get their family's wealth.

I automatically placed my hand over the womb, and then stood up removing my hand from where it was currently before."…I…got to go."I whimpered out.

"Oh okay darling, Diana show Bella the door!" Mrs. Masen said.

"No, that fine." I replied and left quietly my hand returning to where it was before.

It's just you and me…

I continued to stroke Ryder's cheek, he doesn't have to know he has such a cruel grandmother, and I didn't want to tell him about his father. Even if I did, what will he understand? He probably didn't know what the word cheating means other than cheating on a test or whatever. I shook my head gently, "Daddy doesn't love us anymore Ryder, it's just… you and me."

A/N: This was more of a filler chapter to fill you guys in on what happened. The reason why Edward left and the reason why Bella disappeared. The drama shall now appear soon.

By the way, I don't intend this to be a very long story. I would say about 10-15 chapters maybe or maybe even shorter. Who knows? Well, I do. xD
