So I know it's been forever since I've updated. School has been sooo hectic. Unfortunately, I don't know when I'll be able to update after this…. Like a scatter-brained idiot, I have managed to leave my power cord at my brother's house two hours away from me. So… like I said, it may be a while.

I hope it was worth the wait. Love you all, and I hope that you can forgive me for the extensive delay, and I lack of updates… I promise to double and triple check my bag in the future to ensure that this never happens again!!

August

School was just two weeks away. With all the craziness this summer had brought to my life I was looking forward to the mundane day-to-day that is also known as high school. The day after the funeral, my heart practically stopped beating when I walked to Edward's house only to find a FOR SALE sign in the front yard. I stopped dead in my tracks while I tried to wrap my mind around the thought of losing Edward a second time.

Edward must have seen me standing on the sidewalk in front of his house, because the next thing I remember is him running out the front door and lifting me up into his arms.

"Bella, what's wrong?" he had asked me.

I was starting to sob at the thought of losing him. The world seemed to be against us. Just when we seemed to be finding each other, we were being ripped apart. I looked away from Edward, because if I looked into those emerald pools, I would be lost forever.

"Bella… you're scaring me. What is wrong?"

"I… You… I don't… I can't…" my sobs began to shake my body to the point that I couldn't speak. I didn't know how I was going to survive another separation from my other half.

"Bella… I know I haven't been myself lately, especially with moving and then my parents dying, and now moving in with my aunt and uncle… but please, I'm begging you… don't leave me. I don't think I could survive if you broke up with me after everything else that has happened." I realized that Edward's voice was breaking towards the end of his plea and I almost collapsed when I realized he felt the same way.

"Edward… I don't want to break up. But we're right back to where we were a couple weeks ago. We're going to be ripped apart again, and I won't get to see you everyday, to be with you each day at school. We're right back to being separated by distance. Neither of us are sixteen yet, so we can't drive to see each other, even if you are just living in Port Angeles. We…." I didn't get to finish what I was saying because Edward's lips crashed into mine. At that point in time all coherent thought went right out the window. All I could think of was Edward's lips and my own molded together.

We kissed on his front lawn, our hands wandering around each other's faces and waists. We kept our making out to a PG rating keeping our hands in places our parents would "almost" approve of. Finally, when it felt like my lungs were going to explode.

Edward leaned his forehead against mine and sighed as he fought to catch his breath. Our chest seemed to be synchronized as they rose and fall. I'm sure our hearts were racing a comparable rates. "Bella Bella Bella… my sweet, adorable Bella. What do I have to do to convince you that I'm not going anywhere?"

I looked up at him, my vision still a little blurry from the tears I had been crying. "What are you talking about. The proof that you're still leaving me is right there in your yard." I pointed weakly at the FOR SALE sign in right by the street.

"Bella… I'm sorry," Edward practically whispered. I could feel the tears starting to roll down my cheeks again. Edward began rubbing the streaming tears from my cheeks with his thumbs. "Bella… I'm not moving away. Yes, we're still selling the house here, but Carlisle came home from the hospital after the funeral, he made the announcement that he and Esme were planning on moving here to Forks. Carlisle thinks it will be better for Alice and I if we don't live in this house. So they bought a new house a little north of town."

I looked up hopefully into Edward's eyes and saw that they were gleaming with love and hope. For the first time, in what seemed like weeks, I was actually able to smile. I looked back at Edward and saw that he was wearing a smile to match my own.

"Are you serious? We'll really be able to be together?" I could feel my heart start to swell when I could see the answer in Edward's smile and eyes.

"Yes, love. I am serious. We're moving into the house today. Are you interested in helping me or Alice move in to our new rooms? Carlisle has a bunch of movers helping to move in all the new furniture, but we're on our own when it comes to setting up our bedrooms."

I practically threw myself at my boyfriend. I wrapped my arms around his neck and held on tightly. I felt Edward lift my feet from the ground as he began to spin in a circle. I wasn't able to stifle a giggle as we spun wrapped up in each other. When he finally set me down I felt almost more out of breath than when Edward and I had been kissing earlier.

Edward and I quickly began walking north. We talked about how much better this year would be now that we could be together. We talked and walked so much that I barely noticed we had almost left the "city" limits of Forks. I stopped walking when I noticed we had left Main Street far behind.

"Edward, where are you leading me?" I asked him.

"I'm leading you to my new home. Carlisle and Esme bought a house just north of here. We're almost there, I promise." He came back and grabbed my hand. We began walking again and soon we were turning onto an overgrown path. I could see some workers trying to tame the overgrown trees and shrubs.

I realized quickly that this path was supposed to be the driveway. I grew more and more excited as we continued to walk. The driveway was so long though and I was becoming more and more impatient. I was just about to stop and ask Edward how much longer we had when I saw an opening just ahead of us. A large white house was sitting just behind a gorgeous green lawn.

A large garage sat to the left side of the house. The house was beyond gorgeous. There were two wrap around porches. One was on the main floor, the other created a nice balcony on the second story. Wide steps led up to the front door. Big windows were all along the sides of the house. I could see a small window near the very top of the house. I stopped and could only gape at this beautiful house.

"It's so pretty. Like out of a novel or something." I could hear my breathless voice as my ramblings came out.

"I know. See that window at the very top?" Edward said to me as he pointed up at the very top window.

"Yes." I said nodding. I knew my mouth was still hanging open.

"That's my room. I get the whole top floor to myself." He had a huge grin on his face as he began leading me up the steps towards the front door.

A/N: So, there's a chapter that has been ready for almost two weeks, but has been seriously held hostage my by unpowered computer. I hope you enjoyed it. I promise that I'm already working on the next chapter. I finally caught up on all my reading and emails, so I'm spending the day today writing. Maybe I'll even get another chapter out today or tomorrow.

There's no school on Tuesday, so I WILL be updating on Tuesday at the absolute latest.

Much love!
