Hey everyone! So if you've checked my profile recently, you'll have noticed my little snippet about how i can't update any of my other stories at the minute. Don't worry, i've sent an error report to FanFiction, so hopefully it'll be fixed soon enough :) In the mean time, i've published a new story, which i can update without any problems. I've posted the prologue and the first chapter, and will update regularly.

This story has been on my mind for a while now. I'm in love with the idea and i hope you guys will enjoy it as much as i have in my head!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Twilight, or the characters. I just play with them for a little while.

Rated M for lemons. Edward/Bella story. No angst. Romance and humor.

PROLOGUE:

When life offers you a dream, so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.

That's what she had to keep telling herself at least.

She had to be thankful of the days when she believed he did love her, even though those days were all a lie.

Bella couldn't help the feelings of loneliness creeping through her as she stared out the window at the darkening night. Normally she'd have more fight in her, normally she'd be the fierce Bella he knew and she'd have stayed long enough to give him a piece of her mind.

But she couldn't. She had to leave that house, she had to leave everything. Because she knew that once she laid eyes on him, she'd be done for.

She glanced at the clock. Midnight.

She wondered in the back of her mind if he was sleeping right now, as soundly as he had when he'd been holding her in his arms.

"Bella." Her head shot up at the sound of Alice's voice.

"Hmm?" That seemed to be the only sound that made sense to her right now.

"Go to sleep. You need to sleep." Alice rubbed her eyes, tightening her gown around her body.

Bella had to be thankful to her best friend, she welcomed her back to the flat with open arms, even though Jasper was now living with her full time.

She looked away, placing her head against the window frame again, "I can't sleep... Not without him."

What had she turned into? The idea of sleep didn't seem accustomed to her body anymore, not without Edward's arms tight around her.

Alice sighed, and Bella knew she wouldn't argue with her. This was the first time she'd been like this, but Alice knew. Alice knew this was serious.

Bella watched her move from the corner of her eye and she headed back down the hall toward her room. Her door closed quietly, and Bella blinked away tears that had formed in her eyes.

She knew she should sleep, it had been over twenty-four hours since she'd left, and she still hadn't slept a wink.

Bella's thoughts travelled back to Edward, the night he told her one of his secrets. The fact that he couldn't ever sleep, and it was only cured when she was in his arms.

Now she was the same.

She wondered again if he was sleeping, even though she wasn't there for him to hold.

Bella shut her eyes, more tears streaming down the contours of her cheeks as she took an unstable breath.

A gentle thud made her open her eyes. She looked toward the hallway, expecting Alice, or maybe even Jasper there to tell her to go sleep. But there was no-one.

Another knock, more distinct this time.

She looked at the door of the flat, her eyes widening as her heart began to hammer in her chest.

She got up slowly, her hands shaking as she fixed the hoodie around her body.

It could be anyone at the door, a killer, a rapist, a thief... But would they knock?

Her head, her heart, her body, wished for it to be Edward.

A third knock came, louder and harder than before.

Her legs moved quicker and soon enough her hand tightened around the handle and she opened the door quickly, her brain not really focusing on her actions.

Her heart almost burst from her chest as she looked up at his strong figure, his 6 foot 2 inches, his tousled golden hair, his strong jaw... And his tired eyes.

She could've cursed herself for feeling so good, all because he was standing in front of her. He'd hurt her, he didn't love her. But she loved him.

He swallowed, his eyes roaming over her before he spoke quietly, brokenly, "I couldn't sleep." He paused, "Not without you."

I'm in love with this Edward, and i hope you guys will love him as much as i do :)

Please review, they mean a lot to me!
