We will now stay in the present from now on...

"I love you, Edward... but I have to go."
I have to go.
I have to go.
I have to go.
I'm struck with such a deep-seated pain in my chest as those words echo in my head.
I've fucked up beyond measure.
"Now boarding American Airlines flight 920 to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport Sections one and two..."
She's leaving. Walking away from me again. This time, it hurts so much more.
I see her retreating form make its way towards the gate, and I can't just leave it like that.
"I'm not giving up!" I shout over travelers, fussy children, a janitor with mop in hand listening to his little talk radio, and the blaring voice of the attendant overhead.
"I love you, Bella Swan!" My heart's pounding through my chest.
She turns around, her face wet with tears. She just looks at me.
I can't read her face.
But then, there's the slightest turn of her lips. Anyone who didn't know her wouldn't see it.
But I know her. Better than anyone.
I see it.
She wipes her face with one hand and turns to hand her boarding pass to the attendant at the gate.
As she disappears through the gate I'm left with rubble under my feet.
I've never felt heart break until this moment.
And it makes me determined to put the pieces back together.
I will not give up. I don't deserve her. I probably never will.
But fuck me if I won't try to make myself worthy of her.
"I love you, Bella Swan." It's a whisper into the void as I turn around and walk back into my life...
A changed man.

A/N: Redemption time, folks.
My dear RochelleAllison has a new witfit-based story that just started posting today! If you live under a rock and don't know, she is one of what I call "Gems of the Fandom." You basically can't go wrong with ANYTHING she writes. AND she's a wonderful person to boot. The story's title if "Brighter" and once again, I'm already hooked on the first chapter.
I'm floored by the different reactions and the straight up deluge of reviews and alerts added to this story. It's just beyond my comprehension that you all are reading my bull crap. And when I get reviews and comments from authors I fangirl over on the daily, it literally makes my heart speed up and I actually *squee* like a 12-yr-old girl.
I love you all. xoxo
