Here's what I have for this story! This is just Edward and Bella hashing it out. I'm not really sure how to continue without it getting boring. This chapter is pretty short and I think it's just a little Drabble and got boring. I might add Bella and Alice making up but I don't know yet. Any Suggestions would be great! Hope you like it!


Edwards words from the previous night still stung in my heart. I had tried to reason with him, but he was stubborn. My throat was raw from crying and I wouldn't eat anything, no matter how many times Esme offered. Edward was laying rigidly on the bed, breathing hard. Carlisle had told me it will be another 24 hours before he's healed. I couldn't take another day of this. Every time the smallest sound came out of his mouth, I felt a stabbing pain shoot through my body.

"Are you okay?" I asked after he moaned quietly. I knew he tried to conceal his pain from me.

"Fine," he breathed.

I knew that line all too well.

I sighed, "You don't have to lie to me,"

A tiny smile pulled at his lips. Edward turned his head and met my eyes. "Thank you for staying...I could not have gotten through this without you,"

My mind flashed back to me leaving for Jacobs in a flash, without thinking of what he would've thought.

"I'll never leave you,"'I said strongly.

Edward pulled his bottom lip into his mouth, a habit he'd picked up from me.

"I love you so much," he whispered.

A little but of warmth filled my grief filled body, but not much.

"How could you say that last night?" I asked quietly.

"Say what?"'he mumbled.

Did he really not remember?

"About me picking Jacob," I clarified.

He let out a long breath, "Honestly, Bella...I can't think past the pain so I'm not sure exactly what I've been saying. All I know is that you're here," he paused for a second, " There's something I need to ask you but..."

"You can ask me anything, you know that," I assured him. Carlisle said as he improves, I might be able to distract him from the painful healing. I desperately wanted to do that. he didn't deserve another second of this nightmare he was trapped in.

"Well I know...before the fight-," he sounded uncomfortable, " you told me that you wanted t-to get..."

He looked away. It didn't matter through, I already knew what he wanted to ask me.

"Married?" I finished.

He's swallowed hard and nodded.

I out both my hands on his face and turned his head to that our faces were centimeters away and his eyes looked deeply into mine. For a moment, I could see everything. Everything that I'd been ignoring these past couple months. The fears, insecurities, jealousies and uncertainties.

"I would be honored to marry you. I've never been so sure of anything in my life. You know the first time you asked me to marry you, yes I was horrified, but I was also touched. I would've married you then and there, but you know I couldn't have,"

Edward tilted his head forward, but paused, hesitated, like he was afraid to kiss me. I sighed and closed the distance between our lips. Edward responded weakly, but I knew if he was able, he would've been all over me.

"I've made a mess of trying to figure all this out," I said when we parted,"I know I haven't made it easy for you,"

Another small smile tried to creep into his face, "But you're here now. With me. And that's all I really want. I would go through these injuries a million times if it meant I'd get to keep you,"

"I would too," I answered.

A jolt went through my fiancé. Edward's chest lifted from the bed and he let out a strangled cry.

I put my hand on his torso, lightly running my fingertips from his stomach to his collarbone.

"It's okay," I whispered, "We're gonna be okay,"

I rode out the wave of pain with him, and when he relaxed back into the bed, he said, " Why aren't you eating,"

I pursed my lips. Someone down stairs had probably thought something that he picked up on.

"Between you and Alice hating me, food has really not seemed like a priority," I muttered, half hoping he wouldn't hear it.

Of course he did, though, " I don't hate you, I've never hated you! And Alice is just being protective. She'll get over, I promise,"

"Edward, you didn't see the way she looked at me. It wasn't anger, or rage or frustration, it was pure hatred,"

"Would you like me to speak with her?" He offered, trying to make me feel better.

" No no...that would probably make it worse, but thanks,"

He groaned softly and turned his head back toward the ceiling.

"You really scared me these past few weeks," Edward said quickly, " I thought that when you said yes to my proposal that everything would be okay...How far from the truth that was,"

I knew exactly what he was referring too.

"Look, I know I can spout a hundred different reasons as to why I kissed him, but none of them matter. I knew full well what I was doing, and I didn't think of the consequences. I didn't think of you, and I'm sorry,"

It was hard for me to admit the truth to him, but I figured I might as well start being honest now. Fully honest. I wanted no secrets between us. We wee going to be married, after all.

I knew that this confession hurt him, probably more deeply than he let on, but he didn't show it.

"I understand," he mumbled.


Again, if you have any idea about how to finish up this story, let me know! I'd love to get ideas.

Review!
