Jeez... This is yet another chapter, but sadly, it's not the last chapter, like i promised. In fact, while i was writing, it got longer and longer. So i decided to split it. The next chapter, will be the very last chapter. Perhaps it will be a short one. XD

Edward's POV

Ever since I've bought this Volvo, I made sure it's always taken care of, with zero scratches and dents. But this time, I was gripping onto the steering wheels so tightly that it ought to leave a dent right there.

I could do nothing at the moment. The steering wheel was basically the only thing that kept me sane, and the bright, yellow Porsche before me was probably the only thing that kept me from driving in what Seth called 'demonic' speed.

I should have asked Alice which hospital she was staying at, instead of shouting, "Take me to her.", and placing a hundred dollar bill which was definitely way more than what the lunch cost, on the table.

The car in front came to a halt and I was on the verge of honking Jasper, when I looked up and realized there's a red light in front.

Stopping and waiting the light to go green was the worst thing ever. It gave me time to think… What happened to Bella? What should I do when I see her? What will she look like? Will I ever get to see her smile that glorious smile in the picture? Will I ever get to hear her voice?

So many questions swirled in my head and I almost got a headache.

Then the phone rang, and I put it on speaker without checking the caller ID. Not the wisest move at the moment…

"Edward Masen Cullen! Where the hell are you?" My mum shouted on the other side, causing me to wince.

Shit, Esme rarely use my full name, let alone that tone of hers. I'm so screwed.

"I'm driving, mum."

"You better be in two before I come and get you myself."

I'd be so concerned over Bella that I forgot about that stupid lunch. Damn it!

Now, I'm left with two choices. One, visit Bella, and getting disowned by my mother, or two, going for the lunch instead, and meet my wife-to-be even though there's only one person on earth whom I want to marry. Whoa, wait a second, did I think of Bella that way?

I could see me coming home from work, being greeted by a little boy, whose chocolate brown hair is the same as Bella's, and green eyes that mirrors mine, then getting into the kitchen, where Bella's cooking dinner.

Are you nuts? Bella's in coma! How're you going to marry her if she sleeps forever? Besides, you're still way too young to think about a future with kids. Get a grip.

"Edward! Are you listening to me?" my mum's high pitch voice broke me out of my train of thoughts.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"I'm saying that you're lucky the lawyer and the girl's family are late, if not-"

I cut her off.

The lawyer and the girl. How many times must I hear this phrase being said over and over again? This is way ridiculous. True, my biological parents may have arranged a marriage for me, but it is I who decide whether I will marry her.

The devil side of my conscience screamed at me, "Yes Edward!!! Go to Bella! Deep down in your heart, who's the one you love? Bella or the girl you've never met before?"

I answered the devil in my mind, "Technically I've never met Bella before…"

The devil's eyes turned into a glare, "Just answer me, do you love Bella or the stranger?"

I knew my answer.

"Mum, I don't think I'm coming to lunch, and can you please help me cancel the marriage? I'm so sorry if I let you down, but I seriously can't marry her knowing that my heart belongs to someone else."

Not wanting to hear her reply, I quickly shut the phone and turned it off.

"Sorry mum." I thought. Then the light turned green and I sped off, following the car before me.

I got really frustrated when the journey took longer than I imagined, and that I found out that I had no idea where I was, other than the trees were lining up on each side of the road.

I was going to turn on my phone just to call Jasper and find out what he's up to despite having to face my mum's wrath or possibly, pleas, when he turned into a driveway.

A large iron gate was blocking the pathway, and I could see Jasper talking to the intercom. Soon, the gate opened, letting us pass, and then another black gate came to sight. I felt like I was entering some sort of royalties' mansion, and true enough, it was indeed a humongous mansion when my gaze fell upon the compound on my left.

However, I couldn't see much of the inside as the high walls blocked the view.

I could see Jasper waving to the camera on the top left side of the black gate when the gate opened, and Jasper's car slowly crept forward. Now that Jasper's car was gone, I could get a better view of the compound before me.

There was a huge water fountain that formed a small roundabout, and a turning into some underground place, which was where Jasper was heading towards.

I followed him, driving my car into the basement.

My mouth dropped when I saw the cars and motorbikes in the car park-like basement. Ferrari, Ducati, Yamaha, Lamborghini, Aston Martini, Jaguar, Mercedes, BMW… You name it… Why would Bella be in such places?

Wouldn't she be in a hospital instead?

Jasper motioned me to park in between his car and a Jeep. Once I got down of the car, I asked, "Jasper, why are we here? Aren't you supposed to take me to Bella?"

He chuckled, "This is Bella's house."

I looked at him, wide-eyed. Then I remembered, Bella's father is… Well, I guess I should just leave it there, you get what I mean.

"Oh. He knows I'm coming, doesn't he?"

He nodded.

We followed Alice, who was skipping down the hallway, greeting the "maids" as though she knows everyone.

I was thankful that Alice and Jasper were here with me. Lord knows if I would get lost in this mansion if I were to be alone.

After several minutes of walking, Alice stopped in front of a room, and I knew from the elegant carving on the wooden door, that it belongs to Bella.

My heart increased two-folds as I stood there, frozen. I had no idea whether I should turn and run away, or get into the room and meet Bella.

As if sensing my discomfort, Jasper patted my shoulder. "Take it easy."

Alice then turned towards me and rolled her eyes. "Stop being such a nerve wreck. And by the way, just be careful. You won't wanna get onto the bad side of Rosalie."

She left me hanging right there before dragging me behind her and into the room.

Once inside, I didn't have time looking around as my gaze fell onto the girl lying on the bed.

She seemed so peaceful.

Her chestnut hair fanned across the pillow beneath her head. Her chest rise up and down with her breathing, and her skin was even fairer, or I should say, whiter than in the pictures I've seen her in. Her lips were chapped, but even then, they looked kissable.

What?! How can you think about kissing when she's just lying there?

The only thing missing was her deep brown eyes that always showed her emotions, whether she's happy or sad.

It was like a magnet pulling me towards her, and before I knew it, I was already sitting on the chair by her bed.

My hands shot up immediately, to hold hers, that were cold.

I placed a kiss on her hand and whispered, "Bella."

It was agonizing, to see her in such a state, and not able to talk to her. If fate had allow us to write to each other through that one little leather diary, why can't it let us talk to each other? Instead, it has to play with us, not giving us a chance to mix around when we got to see each other.

"Bella… I'm Edward… Edward Masen Cullen, the diary guy? Do you remember? I don't know if you can hear me, but I hope you can. Please… Please wake up." I told her, while my hand shot up to caress her face.

I had no idea how long had passed until I realized there was one question I never asked.

"Alice, I forgot to ask. Why is Bella in coma?" I asked without tearing my eyes off Bella's face.

Someone snorted and I looked towards the sound, which came from a tall blonde girl. Rosalie… Hmm… I didn't see her when I came in. Probably she just came in.

"You really don't know why?" she laughed.

Alice told her in a warning tone. "Rose."

A tall, extremely muscular guy placed his hand on her shoulder only to be swatted away as she walked towards me with her murderous gaze.

That must be Emmett. I thought as I gulped.

"Alice, don't you think dear Edward here should listen to the truth?"

My eyebrows knitted together at the confusing exchange before me. "No, Rose… Don't." Alice pleaded.

"I think he should." She smirked at her and turned towards me. "Won't you want to know why Bella is in coma, Edward?"

Could there be any more venom when she spat my name.

"Yes." I answered truthfully.

Alice broke down, and dropped to the ground on her knees while Jasper rushed over to comfort her. "No… Rose… Please don't do this to him."

Jasper shot Rosalie a glare. "Won't you stop it?"

Emmett threw his arms around her waist, dragging her out of the room. But she was smarter as she stepped onto his feet with her heels, earning a loud unmanly shriek from Emmett.

"Well… You remember the year before last's Christmas Eve, don't you?"

I frowned. Obviously I don't.

"Hmm… Maybe I should put it this way. Do you remember the year before last's Christmas Eve, when you were walking down the street, sucking God knows how many girls' faces off?"

My cheeks became hot as I realized where this conversation is heading towards.

"Yes, but at that time-"

"I know. You were a playboy, whatever. Like I care. So you see, Bella and Alice just happened to see you, and decided to follow you. Then, all of a sudden, you appeared on the other side of the street, and Bella saw you and ran across the street, getting hit by a car in the process."

Now I remembered. No wonder I felt like I was being followed on that day. It was them, Bella, who was behind me. A knife plunged through my heart, when I thought of Bella seeing me kissing those girls. I never wanted her to see that side of me, even though it was all an act.

"But it isn't entirely your fault, Edward." Alice got up of the floor with Jasper's help. "The cars were supposed to stop, and the light turned green for the pedestrians. But that driver was drunk."

She started crying again, burying her face on Jasper's chest.

Emmett sighed. "It's just an evil twist of fate." That was the first time I heard him talking.

"It's all my fault." I looked at Bella, who was lying there, helplessly.

I squeezed her hand, telling myself repeatedly that Bella would wake up. It was complete silence, after the sort of argument.

I studied her face, memorizing her features, remembering how soft and flawless her skin is… Even without makeup, she's still a beauty.

But all of this was no use if she doesn't wake up, and it's entirely my fault. I knew someone got knocked over by the car, but I just didn't seem to care about it.

If I didn't suspect someone was following me, if I didn't just run across the busy road, she wouldn't follow me. Heck if I didn't get out of the house on that day itself, none of this would happen. Bella and I would still be conversing in the diary, and I would still be meeting her up through Jasper and Alice.

"I'm sorry." I said to Bella. "I should've been there, I should've saved you."

"Don't put the blame all on yourself." Jasper placed an assuring hand on my shoulder.

"But, it's all my fault." I whispered.

Rosalie came to me with red, teary eyes and said between sobs. "I'm sorry Edward. I shouldn't give you such cold treatment. I just wanted to vent my anger on you, especially when you wrote that Bella's a bitch, and you totally disappeared after that. I mean you stopped writing a year ago, and you took me by surprise by appearing out of the blue."

"Perhaps there isn't any need of him to keep writing now that he's seen Bella." Jasper suggested.

Alice beamed. "That's why there wasn't any more entries after the declaration of love post right?"

My lips curled up into a smile. "You saw that post? Do you think she'll like it?"

"Definitely…" Alice and Rosalie answered at the same time.

"By the way, Rose, I'm sorry that I wrote that word, I really regretted it after writing. But you know how frustrating I was-"

She cut me off. "Yeah, I understand."

Just then, the door opened, revealing a dark haired man, in his forties, with moustache. Charlie… A couple followed closely behind. Ian and Mel.

What made me gasp in surprise was to see my parents appearing behind them, alongside a man in his fifties, with bald head.

"Edward?" My dad said.

"What are you doing here?" Mum half shrieked, half asked. I could say the same to you.

Ian took the role of a brother, "Why are you holding her hand?"

I quickly released my hold onto her, and placed her hand on her sides then stood up.

My mum walked towards me with a warm smile plastered on her face, but I knew better. I was about to move behind Emmett when she grasp my ear, and pulled it, making me follow her like a five year old kid dragged along by the mother.

"Ouch! Mum! Can you please let go?"

When she managed to pull me, by my ear, to where dad was standing, she finally let go. I rubbed onto the sore part of the ear, scowling all the while.

"Will you care to explain your absence during lunch properly?" She crossed her arms.

"Mum, I told you, my heart belongs to someone else already." I whined and then suddenly realized that I admitted it in front of these many people.

"Shit!" I cursed under my breath.

This time, Charlie cleared his throat.

My dad quickly said, "Oh I forgot to introduce you to Charlie. Edward, this is Charlie, his son Ian, Ian's girlfriend, Mel."

I shook their hands and I could feel the Ian's grip was the firmest, as if testing how strong I was. Hah! I work out, dude!

Charlie looked at me from top to toe, "Would you like to tell me, who is this young lady, whom you love deeply, till you dare to defy your father's wish of an arranged marriage between you and my daughter?"

I blinked.

Once…

Twice…

"Bella's the one I'm getting married to?"

"Yes indeed…" Charlie answered.

I couldn't believe it! All this while, I'm destined to marry Bella, the one whom I'm in love with! This is… This is… Utterly unbelievable!

I was already doing a victory dance in my mind. If I died, I'd die a happy man.

Alice squealed. "Bella will be delighted when she hears this news."

Rosalie told Bella, "Did you hear Charlie? The one whom you're getting married to is Edward. Aren't you glad?"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa… Wait a second." Ian put a stop into the squeals and giggles going on in the room. "Can anyone in this room enlighten us what's going on here? Firstly, I thought you said you were bringing over a friend, Alice?"

"Yup." She said, emphasizing on the 'p'. "He is our friend."

"But how did Bella know him? I've never heard of any Edward."

"Simple… Through the diary, obviously." Emmett said, earning him a smack from Rosalie.

"Emmett, how did you find out?" Alice hissed.

"Rosie here, filled me in on this friend who will visit Bella just now on our way here." He said, rubbing the back of his head, where Rosalie hit it just now.

"What diary?" Mel's eyes lighted up.

"It's not our story to tell." Alice said, looking towards me.

I sighed, and filled them in with the encounter between Bella and I, ignoring the part where we argued and didn't talk to each other. I ended my explanation with a display of our lockets. Bella's one was still hung around her neck, and for that, I was really ecstatic.

Even though they seem fazed by the fact that such things did happen, they still accepted it.

I threw a glance over at my future bride, and smiled. Shit…

"What if she doesn't like me?" I didn't know my thought was voiced out loud until I felt both my ears getting pinched hard.

"Ouch!"

I could hear Rosalie on my left, "After so many things happened, you'd think she doesn't like you? You wish, Edward."

On my right, Alice said, "Remember, never bet against Alice. I just know both of you will end up together ever since she showed us the locket. Trust me, she likes you. No, scratch that. She loves you."

Mel appeared in front of me. "Yeah, she's stuck to you, for eternity."

Eternity? I like the sound of it.

[A few years later]

I parked my car at the basement, and the amount of cars Charlie and Ian has, still leaves me stunned. It seemed that almost every time when a new car is out, there will be a new asset added to his collection.

These two are definitely car lovers, and because of that, we shared a common interest, alongside Rosalie and Emmett.

I'm grateful that I myself am a car lover, if not, how could Charlie and Ian accept me so easily? Honest, Charlie took it easily, but Ian… That brother of hers really is protective of her. Only when he finds out that I acquire several surviving and self defense skills, only did he approve me being his brother in law.

Seriously, at that time, I really wanted to shout at him, "For Pete's sake, I took Taekwando and Judo classes, and I even beat my sensei… Take that."

But I decided against it, for I would be boasting if I actually say those words to Ian.

This was like a daily routine for me. During weekdays, I would come straight after work, and talk to Bella. Her fingers had some movement several times, but then, the doctor said it was nothing.

Most of the weekends, I would also be here, almost the whole day. Occasionally, I would go to Ian's club or anywhere they wanted me to be, just to entertain them.

Seth and I still kept in touch like brothers, and I even brought him over to see Bella.

Hence, now I was standing besides the bed, massaging Bella's hands and legs. Since the doctor said it was a good exercise for her, I thought I would do it by myself than letting the 'maids' do it.

Finally, when I was done recounting my day, and massaging her, I sat on her bed, touching her cheeks.

"Bella… I'm sorry. But I've discussed this with everyone, and they think I should go for it. Remember I told you that I got promoted, but I was still thinking about the post? Yeah, I decided to go for it. But even then, I have a price to pay, to be away from you. The company decided to send me to France, as I can speak French fluently, and manage the branch there. Since everything's new and it's just got set up, I doubt I'll get the chance to take leave for the first few years."

A tear trickled down my cheeks.

"I'm sorry, I have to leave. But I promise I will be back as soon as I'm settled down there."

Then, the desperate side of me appeared.

"Why aren't you waking up? It's been years. Everyone's missing you. I know you can hear us, I know you can feel it whenever we touch you. But you're still unwilling to wake up! Why?" I cried.

"What if I find another girl in France? What if out of despair, I turn towards her, just for the sake of being loved by someone else. I'm not saying this because I'm proud of it, but it's a fact that those girls are throwing themselves to me. But I rejected them. Why?! Why?! You tell me!"

"Because I love you." I whispered.

She still continued sleeping, without making any motion to wake up.

I rubbed the back of my neck and then pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration.

"Perhaps you don't love me enough to wake up?" I laughed drily.

"I'm sorry, but I have to leave. My flight is scheduled tomorrow night, so I'll drop by in the morning. Goodbye, Bella."

I looked at her lips hungrily, and did something I've never done before, not in these few years.

I kissed her on her lips.

It was a kiss goodbye.

I can't help but leave a cliffy, cause i realize nobody reviews when there's no cliffie. *tears*
