"I'm sorry. I'm so gross. I've gotten your shirt all dirty," I apologize, pulling away from him.

Edward looks down at his snot and tear stained shirt. "Eh, it's okay. It's just an old shirt."

I stand up from my bed and straighten out my clothes. "I'm just going to uh..freshen up. There's probably a t-shirt in the bottom left drawer of my dresser that would fit you."

I go into the bathroom and shut the door behind me. I'm almost afraid to look in the mirror, but I do anyways.

My hair is all knotted and stuck to my cheeks.

My face is red and blotchy and my eyes are puffy and red.

I get out a hairbrush and quickly run it through my hair and then splash cool water on my face.

When I'm about to go back out, I pause.

Is Edward still going to be there or did he slip out while I was in the bathroom?

I try to tell myself that either way, it doesn't matter.

But when I open the door, he's still there on my bed.

He smiles at me, but it's different. There's not doubt I've probably scared him.

"Hey, Edward? I'm sorry I freaked out and got all emotional. I didn't mean to unload on you like that."

Edward shushes me. "Are you really apologizing, Bella? Don't. Besides, I did ask. I'm glad that you trust me enough to tell me. Why do you trust me?"

"I don't know." I don't even know if I do. Maybe it was a moment of weakness that made me open up to him.

I notice that Edward has changed into an old t-shirt and internally smile.

Where it's huge on me. It's tight on him and I can see the outline of lean muscle underneath the worn fabric.

Edwards moved the half empty pizza box and glasses to the kitchen, so I climb into bed and get under the covers, facing him.

He scoots down until he's laying next to me.

"When did it...when did it happen?"

"Tomorrow," my voice breaks. "It'll be two years tomorrow."

He's silent for a few minutes.

"Can I stay?"

"Yeah."


Soo, I said I might do 3 updates yesterday, but obviously I didn't. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to spend a while writing so I can have a lot of chapters prewritten. As it is, I'm basically just writing right before I post. See you later today!
