"Tell me, Bella." Jacob's hands still wrapped around mine, holding them to his chest.
"I...." I shook my head. "I have to go." I yanked my hands away and climbed into the cab of my truck. I roard the monsterious engine to life, driving to the one person I needed most.

"Bella?" Edward greeted me at the door. "I didn't know Du were comming."
"Neither did I untill about fifteen Minuten ago." I sighed and walked up to him. "I'm sorry. I should have made sure Du weren't busy. I didn't me-"
Edward didn't let me finish. He pressed his lips to mine softly, lovingly. "You are always welcome here, Bella."
"Thank you." I smiled at him. "But I don't want everyone to start getting tired of me."
"Not possible." He smiled a crooked smile. I now noticed that he wasn't wearing his usual jeans and a sweater. He was wearing navy, jogging pants-not the kind that bunched at the bottom- with "Forks High School Baseball" written down the side in gray. He was wearing a gray hoddie and his hair, as always, looked as if he had just ran his hand through it. I think I preferd him this way. Careless.
"Come in." He sagte hastly as thunder rolled in the far distance. "Everyone is out. I came back early. I missed you." He smiled sheepishly.
He was supposed to be out of town. I had forgotten about that. "I missed Du to." I smiled. "I like this look on you." I nodded toward his slouching pants. "I didn't know Du played baseball." He twind his fingers with mine and led me over to the couch.
"Tryouts were the Tag I met you. Emmett, Jasper, and I made the team." He pulled off my jacke and pulled me into his chest. "They gave us these warm ups for what ever reason. I think they make good sleep pants." He told me matter of factly.
"No shirt?" I teased.
"No." He smirked. "No shirt."
"Mmm." I settled myself into his chest and closed my eyes.
I felt the couch dissapear beneath me and I was placed on what I guessed was Edward's bed. I kicked off my boots as he laid down Weiter to me. He wound one arm around my waist, pulling my back against his chest. He kissed the back of my neck. "Edward? Don't let me sleep for Mehr than two hours." I told him.
I heard a distant "I promise." and I slipped into sleep.

Edward pov

I drove with them to the camping spot and stayed for a little while. But the distance between Bella and I made my chest hurt. I had been away long enough and I needed to be with her. I'm glad I drove my car too.
"Alice, I think I'm going to head home." The others were out exploring. Alice was not that type, and I volunteered to stay with her.
"Are Du sure?" She turned from the own tiny makeshift fire. feuer bug.
"Yes. I can't stand the distance." I told her standing up from my log.
"I understand." She stood up, wiping the sitz of her pants. "I will tell the others Du felt ill."
"Thank you, Alice." I hugged her goodbye and left.
I should call her, to let her know I'm home. No, she probably had plans. Plus, it might sound a little desspreat for her company.
Call her, see how she is doing. No, that would sound desspreat too. I would just have to get through the Tag and call her tomorrow.

Two Mehr lonely people, in the world tonight. Baby Du and I. Are just two Mehr lonely people, who gave up the fight,
yeah,I'm on a ride
Well, Du know my herz is achin' and Du don't have to break it, if Liebe don't change your mind
Then,there's two Mehr lonely people, tonight.

I hit the power button on my radio. Not the song I needed to listen to.
I pulled up in my drive way and looked at my clock. It almost six.
I ran up to my room to change from my heavy sweater and jeans. I threw on my base ball warmups and a gray hoodie.
I wondered around the empty house, looking threw movies, Lesen a couple pages in one of Carlisle's books, eating anything I could get my hands on.
I was flipping through the T.V. when I heard the thunderous engine of a fimilar truck.
I ran my hand through my hair and went to stand on the steps as she got out of her truck.
"Bella? I didn't know Du were comming." I walked down and stood on the grass.
"I didn't either untill about fifteen Minuten ago." She sighed and walked up to me. "I'm sorry. I should have made sure Du weren't busy. I didn't me-"
I pulled her to me and kissed her. "You are always welcome here, Bella." I told her.
"Thank you." She smiled. "But I don't want everyone to start getting tired of me."
"Not possible." I smiled to her. Thunder rolled in the distance. "Come in. Everyone is out. I came back early." I wonder if she remembered.
"I missed you."
"I missed Du too." She smiled. "I like this look on you." She nodded toward my pants. "I didn't know Du played baseball." I took her hand and wound my fingers through hers. Her hands were soft and warm. I sat down on the couch and pulled her down too.
"Try outs were the Tag I met you." This time. "Emmett, Jasper, and I made the team." I took off her brown jacke and pulled her to me. "They gave us these warm ups for what ever reason. I think they make good sleep pants." I told her.
"No shirt?" She looke up at me with a teasing grin.
"No shirt." I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her to me.
"Mmm." She setted into my chest and closed her eyes.
I picked her up in my arms and carried her up, laying her down on my bed.
Without opening her eyes, she kicked off her boots and I laid down Weiter to her. Being close wasn't enough, I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her to me.
"Edward?" She mumbled. "Don't let me sleep over two hours."
I chuckled at her technicality. "I promise." I told her. Unsure if she heard me.
Her breathing became deep and even, and I knew for sure she was sleep.
I crept our from behind her and went over to one of my book shelves. I pulled out an old leather book from the oben, nach oben shelf and ran my hand over the cover and rememberd.

"Edward!" Marie was holding up one side of her dress running behind me. Her hair had fallen out of it's perfect pin up, leaving curls astray. "Edward." She finally caught up to me.
"Here."
She handed me the same leather book that was now in my hands.
"What is this?"
"I wrote it for you. I know how much Du truly Liebe poetry. Happy Birthday, Edward."
"Marie. Du didn't have to get me a thing. But thank you. Thank Du ever so much." I held her chin for a short kiss.
"You are very welcome." She smiled and bit her lip.
"You are comming for abendessen tonight? Mother is looking quite foward to this evening." I asked her as she wound her hand around my arm as we walked down the street.
"I would not miss it. Though Father sagte I mussent stay late."
"Of course." I nodded to her.
"I must go. I was on my way to the barber with Mother. I saw Du and I told her I would meet her there. I will see Du later." She let go and stood infront of me.
"I will." I told her as she smiled and ran back the other way, dissapearing behind a charriot.
As I walked down the straße I opened the first page and read.
'To my dear Edward Anthony Mason.
From your Anna Marie Smith.'

I smiled at my memory and closed the cover. I piicked up the house phone and dialed Cheif Swan.
"Hello?"
"Cheif Swan. This is Edward Cullen. Alice Cullen's older brother. Bella came here to visit Alice. I just wanted to tell Du that she and Alice have fallen asleep. Would Du like me to wake her?"
"No, no." Of course he didn't. I smiled to myself. "Let her sleep. Is she comming Home tomorrow?"
"As far as I know, yes, Sir." I sat down in my schreibtisch chair and watched her sleep. She looked so peacful.
"Okay. Thank Du for calling Edward."
"Yes, sir."
"Oh, and, Edward?"
"Yes, Cheif Swan?"
"Call me Charlie."
I smiled slightly. "Of course, Charlie."
"Goodnight, Edaward. Look after my Bella."
"I wont let her out of my sight." I promise. "Good night."
I hung up the phone still sitting, still watching.
I would tell Bella that tomorrow, she would have to introduce me to Charlie.
I watched her chest rise and fall. I knew she was what I wanted to see every morning and everynight and every time inbetween. She was my life and I would marry her again. I would sit here just like this every morning watching her sleep with a baby in my arms. And I would Liebe every Sekunde of it.
"Edward." She sighed and turned over. "I Liebe you." She was still asleep. I smiled slightly.
"I Liebe Du to." I whispered.
I let her sleep an extra thirty minutes, pushing my boundries.
"Bella." I laid back down beside her and traced up and down her arm. "Bella, Love. I let Du sleep a little over."
She opened her eyes and looked up at me. "Love?"
"I used to call you, Love. Babe and baby sound...like...like Du don't mean the words Du say. Just pet names."
"I like it." She kissed me lightly.
"You talk in your sleep Du know." I told her.
She sighed. "What did I say?" I could see the emberassment on her face.
"You sagte my name." I told her.
"What else." She knew there was something else.
"You sagte Du loved me."
"You already knew that." She kissed me again and sat up. "What time is it?"
"Eight thirty."
"I have to get home!" She jumped off the bett and ran to her shoes.
I walked to her and grabbed her hand. "I called Charlie and told him Du had come to see Alice and that Du two had fallen asleep. I asked him if he wanted me to wake Du and he sagte no. You're safe, sicher to stay here."
"You're calling him Charlie?" She sat down on the bed.
"He insisted. And tomorrow, Du have to tell him we are together."
She looked up through her lashes. "I kind of already did."
"So that's why he told me to take care of you?"
"Guess so."
"Well, that's one less thing we have to worry about."
I could tell there was something bothering her, and I remembered I hadn't asked her why she showed up.
"Why did Du come here earlier? I mean, I loved that Du showed up, but Du do usually call first."
"I went to see Jacob today. He told me Du told him about our past. And now he thinks that this time, since we aren't brother and sister, that it's a Sekunde chance at...us."
She sighed and flung her self back on the bed.
"I don't want to be that Edward. I want to be with you, not him." She sat up again and looked at me. "I want to marry you, and have kids with you, and be immortal with you, and-"
"Wait." I stood up from the chair. "You want to be what?"
"I wanna' be immortal, too."
"No." I turned to look out the window.
"Why?" She stood beside me. "Why can't I be like you? What is so wrong with it?"
"Bella, we have no soul. If we were to die, it wouldn't be a happy ending. We are damned."
"That's why Du won't change me? Your worried about my soul?"
I sagte nothing.
"Well...take it!" She threw her arms in the air. "I don't want to keep dying and comming back to you."
I cringed at the thought.
"I wan't to stay." Her voice was quiet now. "I what to stay, right here, with you." She took my hand and weaved her fingers though mine.
"You don't know the pain Du will have to go through." I turned my head to look at her. I didn't hide the worry in my eyes.
"I don't care. Du will be at the end, and Du are what I want. Forever."
I knew I couldn't change her mind. This is what I wanted right? To be with her forver? Yes, of course it was. But did I really want to put her through the pain. No. No, I didn't. But she knew what she wanted. And she would get it whether I gave it to her oder someone else.
"Can Du just, wait untill gradutaion?" I pleaded.
"Yes." Her face glowed, and she knew she had won.

Bella pov

December of senior year. Senior year. It was going Von so fast. Graduation was in May, five months from now. I had five Mehr human months to say goodbye to Charlie, Renee, Phil, Jacob, and everyone else at school.
Angela was in the stall in the bathroom and I was propped up against the Wand waiting for her. We had gotten very close this year. Jessica had blew us both off for Lauren. That's fine. She was anoying anyway.
"Crap." I heard her mutter.
"You okay?" I asked as I turned my head away from the door.
"Yea. I don't have any tampons left. I could have sworn I had some in my purse."
I rummaged through my back pack and handed her one under the door.
"Thank you, Bella. You're my life saver."
I straighed back up suddenly unaware of anything going on around me.
Angela came out of the stall and washed her hands. "Bella?" She pulled down acouple of brown paper towels. "Are Du okay?"
"What's today?" I felt my hands start to shake.
"Tuesday. December 13th." She threw her towels away. "Bella, Du look like your going to pass out."
"I have to go." She followed me out of the Bathroom. "I have to find Edward. Tell Mr. Marcono I was sick, and Edward took me home."
"Okay." She nodded. "I'm calling Du later to check up on you."
I had barely heard the last part. My stomach flipped and churned. This was not happening. This could not be happening.
"Edward!" I ran up to him and grabbed his arm. "We have to go."
"You look sick." He told me, now following me to his new, black, Volvo.
"I fell sick." I told him yanking the car door open and climbing in the passager side.
"Will Du please tell me what is wrong." He started the car and back out of the parking sopt.
My hands were shaking harder now.
"You're not going to like it." I whispered to him, starting out the window.
"Tell me." His finger caught under my chin and turned my eyes and tear streaked cheeks toward him.
