One week later
"Hi Edward," I hear Bella's small voice beside me.
It's been the same thing everyday. Bella would come over and visit to check up on me, and tell me about everything going on, while I would just be stuck unmoving in some kind of dark abyss. How I long to reach out and touch her, to just talk with her would soothe this ache in my heart.
"School is going good. I have actually been getting so much work done the teachers are running out of ideas to teach me something new." She chuckles lightly.

One month later
"I went down to La Push with Charlie today. I actually helped Jacob fix up his car hes been working on," She tells me, and I am already pissed by the fact that she has been around that mutt.
"I miss you Edward. We all do." I hear her say, followed by the sound of muffled sobs.
Please don't cry Bella.
I will come back to you.
Three months later
"Charlie really wants me to look into some colleges, but I just can't at the moment, not while your like this. I can't just up and leave you alone." Bella persists, sounding like she is arguing against herself.
I'm not even really around and I'm still holding her back from living her life.
"I know what your thinking, you think I should go ahead and go to college, live through my human experiences. But I can't, not without you Edward."
Five months later
"Everyone is telling me to go to college. It's like they have lost faith in you Edward, its like they don't believe you will ever wake up. But I do, I know you will." Bella says with such confidence and faith.
It's been so long now, I can't help but admit to myself that I have lost hope, but every time Bella tells me she believes I will wake up, that hope rises.
"I love you Edward." She tells me.
Seven months later
"I've been accepted into five different colleges. Everyone agrees that I should go to the one in Phoenix, so I can be with my mum more often." Bella tells me, and I can hear the guilt in her voice.
"I don't want to leave you Edward. But nobody knows how long it will take for you to wake up, not even Alice. I want to believe you will, but its been seven months." Her voice breaks as she begins to sob.
The selfish part of me begs her to try and find some hope. My heart begs for her to not leave, to not let go of her faith in me. I don't want her to leave me alone in the darkness.
Eight months later
"I wish you were going with me to Phoenix. You would be able to enjoy the sunlight instead of hiding in the shadows away from it." She jokes, but her small laughter quickly dies out.
"I'm sorry Edward, but this will be the last time I come to visit you. I don't even know if you have heard me talking to you, but I'm flying out to Phoenix in the morning. I will always love you Edward." Bella promises.
No...stay with me Bella... the darkness is lonely.
"Goodbye Edward. I love you." Bella cries, and a voice fades away leaving white noise and darkness all around me.
