Chapter 2:
Bella's POV
Wait a minute..... I am suposed to be dead. OUCH! Burning? I am burning? What did I do to end up in hell? Ouch ouch ouch!!!! I wanted to yell but I couldn't move anything.... not even my lips. What is going on? Am I dead? This is hell, isn't it? I can't believe that I deserved to go to hell. There are only two things that could be possible crimes. I keep hurting Jake, but I was getting better. I was learning to love him. Or maybe loving a vampire is a sin these days. Oh well. To late to turn it around. I don't regret loving him either! Wait. Did I just blink? I can move my eyes? I tried again. They hurt from the salt water, but they opened. Then I saw him....... great now I must be hallucinating. On top of everything, I am going crazy. I tried to clear my eyes. Is he real? Maybe we are both in hell. Maybe Edward was right about his soul. But I can feel his touch, he must be real. Now it is all coming back to me, the intense pain was the vampire venom. I had experienced it before, why didn't I reallize this at first. This means I'm not dead!!!! YAY!!! All of a sudden the flame became 10 times worse! No now I wish I was dead. I tried to move my lips to tell Edward to kill me. They wouldn't move. This is not fair at all!!! When I want to die, no one tries to kill me. I guess I just have to wait it out. I decided to pass the time by bringing back the memories of Edward and I. I tried not to think about the only reason for which he had saved me..... GUILT. He only saved me because he either felt bad that he wasn't there to stop me from jumping or because he couldn't just sit there and watch me die. Either way I am glad he is here. But still there is no point to eternity without him. I can't believe his beautiful face is in front of me once again. Does he see my eyes are open? I hope not. He might leave once he knows I haven't died. I closed my eyes and let myself drift off into the sea of pain.
Edward's POV
Did she just blink? I swear I saw it. My head filled with hope. Maybe I saved her after all. I can still hear her heart for one thing. Maybe true love isn't lost. I have never felt better in my life. There are no words to explain this feeling. Then my phone rang again.
"Hello?" I answered with joy ringing in my voice.
"Edward? Are you ok?" Alice asked.
"I am wonderful! Never better!" I sang.
"Are you hysterical or something?" She asked suspiciously.
"No? Why would I be?" I answered with pure curiousity.
"I thought....Aren't you?.....Bella?" She rambled.
"Bella is going to be fine!" I answered.
"How?....I saw....She was..." She stopped.
"She was almost dead from drowning when I found her. I got most of the water out of her lungs and she started to breath a little, but she had a broken spine and her head was spewing out blood, so the only thing that could save her was.....venom. I did what I had to do." I answered not so happy anymore.
"OH THANK GOODNESS! I am so happy... I was so worried... It has been three days and you weren't back. I thought you might have made a split decision to go to the Volturi and I..." She stated.
I interupted,"She is waking up I have to go."
I hung up on her and quickly put my phone away. She opened her eyes.
"Edward?" She asked.
"Is it really you or am I insane?" She continued.
"It's me." I said.
"I must be dreaming. Everything is so weird. You're here. You changed me which I know you would never do. And I'm not dead." She stated sadly.
"You were almost dead and I did what I had to do." I told her.
"How could you scare me like that Bella? You promised me you would stay safe." I said a little angrily.
"It wasn't supposed to kill me and by the way, you haven't kept any of your promises either!" She almost yelled.
"I know and I owe you a huge apology. No I owe you way more than that! I am just so happy that I got here in time to save you. If you hadn't survived I..." I said in an agonized voice.
She cut me off and said, "Well you did so you can leave now."
"You don't love me anymore?" I whispered. My voice broke twice.
"Of course I do and you can't change that. You're the one who doesn't love me." She whispered
My whole body lit up with pure joy! It must show on my face because she looked at me, her eyes were full of confusion and saddness..
"I am a good liar, Bella. I have to be." I told her.
"What?" She sounded confused.
"I told you I didn't love you to save you, I never stopped loving you, Bella." I choked out.
"You....you love me?" She stammered.
"Of course you silly girl." I said.
She was completely still and silent. I began to panic.
"I love you, but can you still love me?" I asked.
"I will never ever stop loving you." She promised.
"You never have to now." I told her.
"Don't promise me anything." She choked out. If she were able to cry, she would have been pouring with tears.
"You don't believe me?" I was trying to control my anger.
"Of course I believe you," she sobbed. "It is me I don't trust."
"Why?" I whispered.
"There is nothing to hold you to me." She squeaked out sadly.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. How could she think that? Doesn't she realize what being away from her did to me? I was ripped apart into millions of pieces.
"Your hold is permanent and unbreakable." I told her sincerely.
"Together forever?" she asked.
"Always and always...." I answered.
"Lets go get you some food." I said.
"My first hunt.....uhhhhhh." She answered.
"You scared?" I asked her teasingly.
"Only because I'm gonna suck at it." She teased back.
"I'll teach you!" I told her.
"Sounds good to me." She said back.
