Summary:
Bella and Edward are so happy together, but suddenly the Volturi come to visit the Cullens, leaving Edward with a hard decision.

When Edward is forced to make that decision, between leaving Bella, or changing her immediately... what will happen?
And if he changes her, how long will the Volturi really stay away?

But if he leaves her, how will they survive?

Edward's Point Of View

I moved Bella's head off of my shoulder and got up. She reached out for me unconsciously and I smiled.

I'd decided that I'd better go and get a change of clothes before she got up.

I walked over to the window, and jumped out quickly.

I had just left Bella's house when I heard Alice's thoughts screaming in my head.

Edward is going to die! Should I go get him? Oh, why did they have to decide on coming now? Everything was just getting good between them again.

Then Emmett's thoughts rolled in.

They can't take Bella away... she's so funny, and life would be too boring without her.

Rosalie's thoughts were faint, but I could still hear her

Uh, Edward's going to freak... Oh my god, these shoes are hideous! I tuned her out, searching everyone's mind for why they were upset.

Then suddenly, Jasper.Oh God, please... anything but the Volturi. Anything.

I stopped running. The Volturi?

The Volturi were coming, and there was only one reason for that.

Bella.

Alice’s Point Of View

Edward ran in the house, looking worried and angry. I hadn't heard him come down the street, and it startled me.

"Edward! Calm down. We'll think of something, I promise! We have to."

"Damn right we have to! They can't just barge in here and decide to take Bella like that. I'll go to hell and back before I let them do that!" he yelled.

Jasper walked in the room with his eyebrows furrowed. A wave of calmness spread through the room, and Edward relaxed considerably.

"Thanks Jasper." I mumbled.

"Yeah, you know it's time to calm the room down when Edward starts cussing." he chuckled.

The others filed into the room, all eyes fixed on Edward.

"Edward, sweetheart, everything will be okay. It'll all be okay, I promise you, we'll figure something out." Esme said, walking toward him. She patted him on the shoulder.

"How many are coming Alice?" asked Emmett.

"They're bringing Jane, Alec, Aro, Marcus, Caius, and Demetri, and those are just the ones I know. They're also bringing two other girls, and some older guy. You all know that they wouldn't all be coming here if they just wanted to talk. They're coming here prepared to fight." I said, looking around at everyone.

Emmett grinned, "Awesome, we need a good-"

"No, no one is going to fight anyone if we have a choice." Carlisle cut him off.

Emmett's face fell, and then he looked up apologetically at Carlisle.

"Come on, time is running out! We need to think of something. And fast! We can't just sit here and wait for them to show up!" Edward said impatiently, his whole body tensed, looking ready to pounce.

Jasper shot a wave of relaxation throughout the room, and Edward straightened up, and then leaned back on the wall.

"Goddamn it, Jasper! Stop doing that!" he roared.

"Edward, stop!" Carlisle yelled, "They aren't coming for about a week, so there's no reason to lose your head over this."

"Oh, of course not! There is absolutely no reason for me to lose my head! I mean, the love of my existence is just in danger of being taken away from me by the most dangerous vampires on earth,and I can't do anything about it, but that's no reason to worry! And Jasper, don't even think about trying to calm me down, because if you do there will be a fight!" Edward roared.

Everyone was silent. Edward was right, there wasn't anything any of us could do without someone getting hurt in the process.

Rosalie was the one to break the silence.

"God, I wish we'd never come here! I mean, it's great that Edward's got somebody now but I mean, ever since we met that accident prone girl, everything has gone horribly wrong!" she yelled.

We all stared back at her incredulously. Our eyes drifted to Edward, whose hands were balled up at his sides.

"Rosalie, what are you trying to say?" he grumbled through his teeth.

"I'm trying to say, that maybe we should just leave her here and tell the Volturi that she's dead." Rosalie spat.

"First of all, Rose," I said, almost as angry as Edward now, "There is no way we'd ever do that, even if it would work! And second, why don't you just shut up. Unless you have an idea that could actually help."

Rosalie glared at me.

Emmett mumbled, "Cat fight! Sweet!"

Jasper chuckled, and Rose turned to fix her glare on him, she bared her teeth and growled.

"Enough! That's enough, everyone just stop!" Carlisle yelled.

"There is no reason that anyone should be fighting right now! We need to be thinking about what we're going to do about the Volturi! Now, we have about a week before they get here."

Carlisle's voice began to fade, and I could feel my consciousness being pulled to somewhere unknown. My gaze grew hazy, and a new scene flashed before my eyes. I was slipping into another vision.

We were all standing in front of the house, Bella was crouched behind Edward. There was a loud clap of thunder, and Bella jumped. Edward turned around and shot a reassuring glance at her.

She pulled her gray jacket tighter around her and zipped it up.

We all watched as nine pale figures in robes ran towards us at inhuman speed. They stopped, and we stood there staring each other down, daring someone to make the first move. Aro stepped forward.

"Hello, how nice to see you all again. How have you all been?" he said with his thick Italian accent leaking through.

Bella looked puzzled, she was probably expecting a more climactic greeting.

"We're fine, thank you. And how are you?" Carlisle replied.

"Oh, we're fine. But, uh... we'd like to discuss some things with you, if you wouldn't mind." he replied, a smile plastered onto his face.

"Oh, no that's fine." Carlisle said, gesturing for them to come into the house.

They walked past us, and Bella flinched when Aro winked at her as he walked past.

We walked in, the television still on, turned to the news channel.

"This is a very nice home you've obtained Carlisle." Aro said quietly.

No one replied.

"So, let's get down to business. Shall we?" Aro said, breaking the silence once again.

I snapped out of my vision to see five anxious faces staring back at me, and Edward gripping the table so hard that it looked as if it might break.

"Alice, what is it?" Jasper said, worried.

I looked up at him, matching his worried gaze with my own.

"We need a plan. And fast." I said.

I'd noticed the date on the bottom of the TV screen when we walked in, and we didn't have a week anymore.

We only had two days.

Summary:
[placed at Eclipse's end]

Renee welcomed me with open arms, of course. But she was disappointed to see that I was upset. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get over the feeling that Edward had left me again.

We drove to her new home, I tried to be polite, and keep up with her incessant chatter, but I kept spacing out. Instead of the hole I had felt before, I felt as if my heart and soul were being tugged at... pulled in the other direction.

But this is where I had to stay until... until what?

Until I was even more sure of my decision?

Or until I'd changed my mind?

Maybe this was a mistake. Maybe I should've told Edward no, and just stayed in Forks. God knows I'd be happier there.

Then I remembered his face, the look that was plastered all over that beautiful angel's face when I'd tried to refuse leaving. I felt another sharp tug, and forced myself to concentrate on what Renee was saying.

"... and then, Phil walks in the door, and says 'Honey, we're going to Boston!', and I smiled at him, and had to break the news to him, that you were coming to visit, so I couldn't leave. He was sad at first, but then he got into the details of the game they'd just won. And you know, he's fine with it now."

"Wait, mom. Are you saying that you stayed here instead of going to Boston with Phil because I was coming to visit?" I gasped.

"Well, yeah honey. Why?"

"Because, I don't want you to miss out on something just because of me. Mom, you need to go! Go to Boston with Phil! I don't need you here to take care of me anymore, I'm almost nineteen!" I screeched.

"But I want to stay with you, Bella. I need to spend more time with you before you leave for college."

I sighed.

"Mom, I need you to spend time with your husband instead of trying to spend all your time with boring old me."

"You're not boring, and I'm not leaving." she said, in an 'end of conversation' tone.

"Fine." I said, staring out the window again.

We pulled up to the house, and I got out, looking up at the new two-story home my mother had decided to live in.

“It’s nice, mom.” I said quietly.

“Thanks sweetie, I knew you’d like it.” she said, happiness flooding out through her voice.

We walked in, and she showed me to my room. I told her the jet lag was getting to me and I needed to take a nap. But for the next four hours, all I did in that room was cry.

After a while, I started to think about why I was here. What I was going to do. I needed Edward to understand that I loved him enough to stay with him forever, that I would never be able to leave him. But how was I supposed to do that?

I heard Renee sing some love song in the other room, I laughed. She used to do this every day when I lived with her. Go into the kitchen, put on her head phones, and then sing to whatever song came on. She was always off key, but she didn’t care, she was having fun.

I was going to miss her so much after I was…

This is exactly what Edward wanted me to do. Think about what I was giving up, and what I would never be able to do again. I made a mental list of all the people I wouldn’t be able to see ever again.

Charlie.

Renee.

Phil.

Angela.

Mike.

Eric.

Quil.

Sam.

Emily.

Paul.

Jared.

Embry.

Jake.

I started crying again. I was going to miss them all so much, but I had to get over this. I couldn’t just change my mind because I would miss a few people. I couldn’t.

I stood up, wiping the tears from my face. I made a promise to myself right then and there.

I would never, ever forget them, but I would never regret not being able to see them either. If I regretted anything, it would mean that I wasn’t making the right decision in being with Edward.

I went to the bathroom to look at myself. Ugh, I had red rings around my eyes, and my hair was a mess. The shirt Alice had given me was wrinkled, and somehow I had torn my jeans.

Needless to say, I was a mess. I washed my face quickly, and combed out my hair. Alice had put eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, and countless other things in my bag, and against all of my protesting, she showed me how to apply my makeup.

I laughed remembering the first thing she’d told me.

“Okay, Bella. First things first: you are never going to need blush. You’re cheeks are always red enough without it, clumsy girl.”

I fixed myself up a little better, and changed my clothes. I was going out, I needed some distractions.

I flung on a purse that was in my suitcase, and ran downstairs. Not a very good idea. I tripped halfway down, and tumbled down the rest of the stairs. Ouch.

My ankle hurt a little, but other than that, I was fine. Thank God. The last thing I needed right now was a trip to the Emergency Room.

“Bella, are you okay. I heard something fall.”

“Yeah mom, I’m fine. Uh, I’m gonna go out for a while, okay?”

“Okay,” she said, dancing into the room. She pulled her head phones down to her shoulders, and her mouth fell open.

“Bella, are… are you wearing makeup?”

“Oh, yeah… what, did I do something wrong?” I asked.

“No, no. It’s just that, I never thought that I’d see you wearing makeup!” she gave me a big hug, and pulled back smiling.

“So, where are you going?” she asked, eyebrows raised.

“Oh, I figured I’d go down to the beach. Walk a little bit, and maybe get something to eat. What time is it, by the way?”

“It’s uh, 3:30, sweetie. Okay, well have some fun! I think I’m gonna call Phil, alright?”

“Alright mom, see you later.”

I walked out the door, and headed down the street. The beach wasn’t that far away, and I could start thinking on the way there.

Edward wanted me to stay with him and be a vampire, just as much as I did. But he was worried about whether or not I would be okay afterwards, and I didn’t know how to keep him from worrying.

I had told him over and over that this was what I wanted, and that I was completely sure. But he always had his doubts.

I screamed as my purse started to sing to me. I opened it and found a cell phone. I had trouble flipping it open, and when I did, the song stopped. I put the phone up to my ear.

“Hello?” I said, uncertainly.

“Hey, so I see you found your phone?” Alice laughed over the speaker.

“Who got me the phone?” I growled. I was tired of them spending money on me.

“I did, of course! You like it? It’s a Sidekick 3!” she chimed.

“No.” I growled unimpressively.

“You know you like it. Anyways, I just wanted to warn you, don’t get too close to the hobo by the beach, or he’ll mug you. And if he does that Edward will kill me for not warning you.” she warned.

“Where is Edward? I want to talk to him.”

“Oh, he’s at home, but I’m in Port Angeles shopping right now.”

“Oh,” I sighed disappointed.

“His number is in your phone though; you can call him if you want.”

“Thank you so much, Alice!” I said happy again.

“I know, I know. I’m amazing!” she said, as she hung up.

I went through my contacts, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw his name on the list.

I pressed call and listened to three extremely long rings before I heard his voice.

“Hello?” he said, questioningly. His voice sent my heart into overdrive.

“Hi, it’s Bella.” I said quietly.

“Bella? Wait, where are you calling me from?”

“The new cell phone that Alice got me. Why?”

“Oh, I was just curious.” he said softly, “So, why are you calling me? Is something wrong?”

“I… I just miss you.” I whispered.

“I miss you too, love.” he said in his soft, velvety voice.

Forget distractions. This was all I would ever need; I would never need anything more.

Summary:
[placed at Eclipse's end]

It happened about a week after we announced the - gulp - engagement to everyone. Edward said the thing that made my heart stop... the thing that might change my life forever.

* Flashback *

We were walking out of his house, hand-in-hand, when he turned to me and grabbed my shoulders, forcefully. I stared back at him, confused.

"Edward, what's wrong?" I said, terror slipping through in my voice.

"Bella, I have a question for you. And I want you to think about my question carefully before you decide, okay?" he said to me, a bit strained.

I could see faint desperation in his eyes, and I was extremely curious. He looked back at me, searching for an answer in my questioning eyes.

I nodded my head.

"Of course, Edward, I'll give it all the thought it deserves. You know that I always will." I whispered, answering him quickly.

"I need to know if you're sure that this is what you want. That this is the life you'll always want. That you won't question if you'd made the right decision choosing me, and this life. I need to know, Bella." he said, his eyes full of hope.

"I'm comp-" I started, before he cut me off.

"Bella, I need you to give this some real thought, not just a quick one, that you've said about a million times." he paused.

And then came the real kicker, the one that made me feel like a spear had been plunged into my heart.

"Bella, I want you to leave me." he said, after a quick deliberation.

I heard the breath whoosh out of me, and my knees started to buckle. Edward saw my reaction, and put his arm around my waist firmly.

"Bella," he said, dumbfounded.

"You... promised." I managed to choke out.

"No, no, Bella." he said reassuringly.

"I just meant that I wanted you to go somewhere where I wasn't getting in the way ... persuading you. Somewhere that you felt you could clear your head, and think of all the things you'd be leaving behind. I didn't mean that I wanted you to leave me, love. I would never want that!" he said quickly.

My knees stopped wobbling, and I stood up straight.

"NO! I can't leave you, Edward! I can't stand to be without you, and I don't want to -" I stopped abruptly, seeing the look in his eyes. That look that I thought just screamed hopelessness.

We just stood there, looking into each others eyes, for what seemed like an eternity before I whispered "Okay, I'll go. But ... only for a week, okay?" I said, my voice quavering.

"Thank you, Bella" he said, leaning down to lightly kiss my forehead. "You know that I just want the best for you, right?"

"Yeah, I know." I choked out, sounding absolutely miserable.

"Bella, I don't want to hurt you..." he crooned.

"I just have to make sure that you don't think you're making the wrong decision."

"I know," I whispered, forcing back tears.

"Edward, I love you"

* End Flashback *

That's how I ended up here, at the airport, bags in hand with Alice by my side. Whispering a quick farewell, she ushered me towards the gate that would take me to the flight heading to Florida.

I walked in through the gate, and onto the plane. I shoved my small bags into the overhead compartment, and then I took my seat in the third row back, next to a sleeping old lady. I slid past her into the window seat, and looked out the small window.

At first, all I saw were the other planes lifting off, and some people that were directing the planes where to go.

Then, I spotted two small, pale figures standing next to the plane, waving up at me. I pressed my hand against the window, focusing only on the pale, sad-faced one on the left. The one with the untidy hair, and crooked smile that I loved.

A lone tear slid down my cheek, as I watched them run away, too quickly for me to even tell. But I just sat there, looking at the window, willing them to come back, nonetheless.

Soon, the plane took off, and the last words Edward had said to me began to ring in my head.

"Don't forget me, love."

"Never," I said aloud, waking the old woman next to me.

I could never forget you, my angel.
