Authors Note: This chapter makes me want to kick myself in the head. I just couldn't get the ending right, that's why I haven't updated in so long. :(

So..Thank you for the reviews, you guys are great. :) Anywho, I sort of forgot to write this in the last chapter, but pretend the Edwards POV chapter took place a few days ago, mmkay? I'd go back and fix it, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

Okay, so this is where I answer questions now.

kaori's penombra: Nah, Bella's a "vegetarian" vampire, it was said in the first chapter.
coolcatt002: It's just because Carlisle hasn't seen them in a while. They don't know that Bella's there. They don't even know that she's alive.

Disclaimer: While my name may be Stephanie, it's not Stephenie Meyer, so therefore, all the characters are hers, I am simply just a fan letting my imagination run wild.

I think that if it were possible for me to faint, I'd definitely be out cold right now. It felt like the walls were closing in on me, and it felt like I was suffocating. I needed to get out of this room, and quick. "I'm sorry..but I..have to g-go." I ran out the door, and back to my room. I flopped down on my bed and just laid there. Why did they have to come here now, why did they have to come here at all?

Why must the past always come back to haunt you, especially the things that hurt the most? I could feel the tears I couldn't cry well up in my eyes. In that very moment, it was like I was human again. I felt fragile and weak, like anything could break me, like I could crumble any second.

I wish that I could turn back time and never move to that wretched little town. I could have stayed in Phoenix with my mother. I would have never had vampires after me, I would have never even been one..I would have never met him. That's the only downside, I would have never met him. No, it's not a downside I told myself. If I never met him, I would have never endured this broken heart of mine. But then I would have never loved anyone as much as I loved him, as much as I still do. At least I don't think.

I wonder why love is so confusing, why it makes you feel like you're invincible while you have it, but once it's gone, it feels like you have a gaping hole in your chest, the pain becoming more excruciating with each passing day. How can someone make you feel so complete one day, and then break you the next?

If you were human, you would eventually forget that pain, you would find someone to fill that hole in your heart, you would move on. That person would eventually become some distant memory from your teenage years. You might see something that reminds you of them, or some time spent together, you might remember the pain, but then after a while, it would go away again. You'd have that other person to lean back on, to tell you that everything is okay.

But me? I'll always remember. I'm reminded of him on a daily basis. I remember every moment spent with him, every laugh, every smile, every kiss, every hug, everything. The pain would still be as intense as it was when I was human.

I sighed, and got up. I have all eternity to think, I might as well go do something less depressing. Maybe I'll go talk to Aro, Marcus, and Caius. Sure, Marcus and Caius were a bit on the quiet side, but Aro could always make me laugh. He's more of a father figure than Marcus and Caius were, and still, not very fatherly at all. I ran towards their chamber.

Now, here's the thing. You think I would have learned to knock by now, especially after what I heard this morning. I didn't want to walk in on hearing anymore conversations about them, I just didn't want to know. I pushed open the door, and what I saw wasn't what I expected.

There they were, him and his family, standing in the middle of the room, staring back at me with wide eyes, confusion written all over their faces.

Woot. Go cliffhangers. Review if you want more. I'll try to update sooner next time too, I promise.
