**********I DO NOT OWN THE WORLD OF TWILIGHT***************

Nic POV:

I couldn't believe I'm here after with her after all these years. This afternoon with her has been amazing, seeing her smile and laugh, all my memories came rushing back. The only thing that makes me sad is she doesn't remember me, but I'm determined she will remember me. She has been the light of my world since the moment I met her fourteen years ago, I loved her but in a brotherly way. Every summer I made my way back to Forks to spend the summer with her while she was at Charlie's. Watching her grow up was amazing. She was perfect, I realized I loved her when she was thirteen and at that moment I knew she was meant to be mine. I even followed her to Phoenix and visited her at night, but since I never aged past nineteen I had to stay hidden from her. Charlie knew how I felt but asked me to wait for her to grow up, to give her a chance at human life. What I never expected is for her to think I was all a dream and Renee encouraged the dreams. She never did fully trust me. She never knew I was there at night watching Bella but Charlie knew, he asked me to leave and wait for Bella to turn 18 before coming back into her life. I was heartbroken. The last time I saw her I took back the locket I gave her and bid her goodbye. I haven't seen her since. But I ached for her everyday.

When Charlie called and told me Bella was being hunted I almost lost it. I jumped on my motorcycle and made my way here in half the usual time. I had to get to Bella. When our eyes met for that first time I felt that same connection as before. And I knew she felt it too. I wanted to grab her up and hold her and kiss her. I knew Charlie wouldn't be happy about that so I didn't. Besides she still doesn't remember me yet. To her I'm just a dream that faded away.

But I will make her remember me.

Charlie just got home and was telling us he contacted some friends to help watch over Bella. When she started to cry, I couldn't stop myself from grabbing her and holding her. I could feel Charlie's glare but I didn't care.

"Nic..." He growled at me. I knew Bella couldn't understand us since we were talking to fast for human ears.

"Don't start Charlie, you know I won't rush her or hurt her." I told him. Man, she felt so good in my arms.

"She has to remember on her own or she'll never believe you are real or want to change." He was looking at Bella tenderly.

"I know but I am going to get her to remember me. I was worried about her finding out I was a vampire but Edward solved that for me. Now she will accept me easier." I was rocking Bella, I couldn't let her go.

"Look you know what he did to her, so you have to understand she is hurting. Be careful. I liked Edward and your my best friend but I want her to be happy. You do realize he will fight for her when he gets here don't you?" He said.

"Yeah I know but Bella thinks he doesn't love her and she wasn't enough to hold him. And he refused to make her a vampire. So I have that advantage on my side. And I want her to be a vampire! She is my mate and she will realize it soon." I had to calm down or Bella would know something was going on.

"Well whomever she ends up with will have to change her. She doesn't have alot of time left. Aro only gave her till her eighteenth birthday and that's in 7 months. I want her to graduate first and we still have to deal with whomever is hunting her. Alice can't see when it will happen though, the person keeps changing his or her mind. We have to be ready for anything." He was lost in thought.

I growl at the name Alice, not her really but that they were here again. I didn't want them here. Soon Bella stopped crying and went to the kitchen.

"I'm going to hunt. Guard her well my friend." He took off and left us alone.

I followed Bella to the kitchen. I had to ask her why she didn't want to become a vampire. I could tell she didn't want to tell me but she did. After she explained about Edward I wanted to kill him. How could he hurt someone as special as her??

I immediately perked up. He left her! I'm glad he wasn't around it made it easier to win her over. Soon we went upstairs, she needed sleep for school tomorrow. I told her I was staying in her room at night to protect her. I chuckled to myself as I walked out of her room. The look on her face was priceless.

She turned on her Cd player and drifted to sleep. She is so beautiful. If I had a heart I'm sure it would of burst from the love I felt for her.

After she fell asleep I placed the locket I gave her on her dresser for her to find in the morning. I was wearing the key to it around my neck.

I could smell another vamp out the window. I knew that smell so I just turned my head and looked at him. I smiled huge and said one word as I looked at Edward. MINE.
