"Mom, I missed you"

"Oh baby girl, I missed you too. Oh god how could they do this to my baby."

Her eyes were filled with tears. I felt bad that my parents were in distress because me.

"I am fine mom. You know the hospital people. They just want to monitor me."

"How can you say that? You were poisoned honey. I could have lost you. I am so sorry baby. I should not have allowed you to come to Forks." she said furiously wiping her tears.

"Mom calm down. I am alright. Look at me. Do I look like I am in any kind of distress?"

I didn't know what else to say.

"Whatever Bella. I cannot lose you so you are coming back with me. I don't care what Charlie says."

"No, no mom. In can't come. I cannot change school again. Besides I like it here." I told her in a calm tone though I was freaking out inside.

"But baby it is not safe here. Phil is negotiating with some people for some contract. He is absolutely sure to get it. Then we can permanently be in Florida. Think about it baby. The sun, the beaches it will be good for you."

I knew Edward was listening and he was considering it even if it meant that he has to stay inside all the time. His main focus was my safety. Even though the problems with the wolves were somewhat calmed, he did not trust them and I could not blame him. If the roles were reversed I would have done the same thing.

"No mom. I love it here. Besides this can happen to me anywhere. You know me I am a danger magnet." I said with a nervous chuckle.

My mom watched me for a few seconds.

"Does the boy that I met earlier have anything to do with it?" she asked with a mischievous look.

I wanted to just tell her that Edward was my mate and that it physical hurts to be away from him. So yes he was the reason. But I just gave a different answer which will stop her from freaking out.

"Parts of it but there are other reasons as well. I had not had an opportunity to spend time with Charlie, mom. I just want to stay with him before I graduate."

I knew that this was the only way to make Renée drop the subject. I knew she felt guilty that Charlie didn't get to spent time with me. I felt bad for hitting the sore spot but I had to in order for her to give in quickly.

She looked reluctant but agreed. I asked about Phil which I knew was the subject that Renée would not mind talking about forgetting all previous topics.

My plan worked. She started talking non- stop about their tour as well as anything and everything related to Phil and her new hobbies and interests.

Soon I was tired and found myself falling asleep.

A couple of days passed and I was discharged from the hospital. I was happy to be back at home and since I was stronger the bubble had disappeared putting Edward in a much better mood.

Charlie was hell bend on arresting the wolves who poisoned me but Carlisle and Billy somewhat convinced him not to as the Forks were not aware of what happened. Everyone was informed that I had flu so that we don't gather attention. Billy told him that they would be punished by some tribal law but Charlie was adamant.

But after a lot of effort from the tribe and the Cullens he agreed as the wolves were going to be bed ridden for quite some time. The wounds were extensive and they were not able to even move. Not to mention the fact that the tribe had cast them out of the pack. This combined with the rods in their legs and other places would make them unable to phase ever.

Though Charlie was not aware of the last part he thought it was greater punishment to be bed ridden that going to jail.

Charlie and others were told that the wolves were in an accident which caused extensive injuries. The Cullens improvised by creating a perfect scene of accident with a crashed car and everything.

After much discussion with Billy, Charlie decided not to tell Renée about the new development.

Renee returned after few days. She wanted to stay much longer but I insisted as Phil was alone.

It was tearful goodbye. Renee openly sobbed when she kissed my forehead before she got into the cruiser. Charlie had offered to drive her to the airport. He looked uncomfortable seeing our tears.

I knew that he still loved her but their relationship has shifted. I knew that a part of him will always love her.

As soon as the cruiser left I collapsed into Edward and cried. All the past incidents which happened just hit me. With the bubble gone, the confidence and strength I felt was also gone leaving me a sobbing mess.

Edward carried me upstairs and lied with me in the bed. He let me cry soaking his t shirt with tears. He murmured soothing words and held me close to his chest. Soon I was asleep.

The next day I had to go back to school. I had missed school for a week but thanks to Alice I had all my notes.

Everybody in the school were told that I had flu and I was happy about that as I would not be the playing the lead role in Forks high school's new speculations and gossips. After all a flu is not a great topic for gossips.

My hopes were crushed when Edward told me that that rumors of me running away with Edward as well as me trying to hide because Edward dumped me were running like wild fire. People were more interested in the former as Edward was also absent from the school.

I was greeted by stares and whispers as soon as I exited from the Volvo. I hoped that the rumor that Edward dumped me would end as I came with him.

Edward was as usual his overprotective self. I wanted to be irritated at him but the love and adoration I saw in his mind stopped me.

Days passed and life was starting to get normal. There were still stares and whispers along with usual glares. Boys glaring at Edward, girls glaring at me and Edward glaring at everybody.

I could not actually blame him.

I knew from reading Edward thoughts when bubble was around that some of the fantasy that these teenagers have would be enough to make sex therapists blush not to mention the fact that girls hated me with passion just because I was with Edward. I don't know how he tolerated this every day for so many years.

Since my return from the hospital Edward had not even once left my side except when Charlie was around. The shadows under his eyes showed his lack of hunting. His eyes were deepest shade of black.

So I decided to bring up the issue as it was the weekend and I would not be going anywhere and Edward would worry less about me. We were lying in my bed as Charlie had gone fishing.

"Edward your eyes are darkest black that I have seen. You have to hunt." I said. I knew my voice reflected my concern.

"It's ok Bella. I am not that hungry. I can go a few more days without hunting. See I am alright." He said leaning against my throat and taking in my scent.

He smiled his beautiful smile making me lose all my sense of surrounding.

I shook my head to clear it.

"Edward, quit dazzling me and go and hunt with your family."

Before I could finish my sentence Jasper followed by Alice appeared at my window and took Edward to hunt despite his resistance. I laughed when Alice threatened to slash his tires if he did not cooperate.

Reluctantly he left my side giving me sweet kiss.

"I love you Edward." I whispered from my window earning an "I love you too" in return.

The ache that I felt when he was away made an appearance as soon as he was away.

I decide to reply to my mom. As I was sitting in front of the computer I heard a knock. I walked downstairs and opened to find Sue standing there looking self-conscious.

I was surprised to say the least. I never expected to see her. I quickly composed my face.

"Sue! How are you? Please come in. Charlie is not here but it's ok. I can make tea. Please come inside." I babbled as I was so nervous. I didn't know how to react.

I didn't know whether she had come to accuse me for her husband's death or talk about what happened. I knew that she meant no harm to me as bubble has yet to make an appearance.

Thankfully she understood my state and took my hand in hers.

"Bella, I have come here to apologize for what happened. I know that you don't hold it against me but I hold it against myself." her words were filled with sincerity.

"Sue, it is ok you didn't know. Please come inside and I will make you some tea."

"No Bella I have to go. I wanted to come and apologize. I know Harry would have wanted that." She said with tear filled eyes.

"Sue, I am sorry for your lose. Harry was great friend to Charlie. I don't want the things that happened to come between our families."

Sue lifted my hand to hold it against her chest.

"You have big heart Bella. I know none of this is fair to you but still you care for us and that means lot to me. I promise you that what happened will not come between our friendship with Charlie. He is a good man and he understands that I and my family had nothing to do with what happened. He even helped us with Harry's funeral."

I was happy that Charlie's relationship with Harry's family was intact. Sue returned soon leaving me with my thoughts. After entertaining meaning less thoughts for some time I decided to do my chores.

I missed Edward and the pain of separation was at full force. I managed to do my laundry and clean the house without passing out.

Charlie was in much better mood seeing me doing my chores when he returned. We never talked about what happened. I guess we were both trying to imagine that it never happened. But he had once said that he would not blame me if I wanted to return to live with my mom. But I assured him that I had no intention of doing so. He seemed relieved hearing my decision.

Today as I was busy doing chores we decided to order pizza. The dinner time passed with me talking about school. Charlie was not much into talking but always talked to me even though it was nothing serious.

After having dinner I returned to my room to wait for Edward. The pain was increasing as the time we last saw each other was increasing. Since there was no bubble around us I was not able to hear his thoughts.

After what felt like hours the pain started to decrease informing me of my Edwards return. I was in his arms as soon as he came through the window.

"I missed you so much my love." He said kissing all over my face.

"I missed you too Edward. Next time I am coming with you."

'You know how much I want you with me always but it is too dangerous love." He said after giving me a final kiss on my lips.

"I know but it hurts so much when you are not around and I am not talking metaphorically." I said with my voice filled with emotion.

"I know love. I experience it too. I know that being away from mates are uncomfortable for vampires but since ours is much more intense connection than normal vampires it hurts physically to be away from each other."

He took my face in his hands and kissed me lovingly. I yawned spoiling our tender moment.

"It's bedtime for the human." He said with a chuckle.

I pouted earning another kiss from Edward.

We laid on the bed with me snuggly into him despite his cold temperature and started tracing patterns on his chest.

"Edward…"

"Hmm"

"Sue came to see me today."

In felt him tense so I continued.

"To apologize."

"To apologize, huh?"

"Yeah. She looked really bad. I can't imagine how awful it is for her losing her husband not to mention the problems created by her own tribe."

"Bella, I know you fell responsible for Harry's death but you have to understand that none for this is your fault. His own tribe was responsible for it. You have let it go now."

"I know Edward but I just….. Maybe I just need time."

He lifted his head and kissed my forehead and murmured, "My beautiful sweet Bella."

And of course I blushed ten shades of red.
