Chapter 100 – Forever (EPOV)

Our story's not over.

We have forever.

Plenty more lessons to learn.

But the most important.

Has already been taught.

It's the reason for my return.

Resolved to be alone.

Lost in the dark.

Until my world was filled with light.

And even though.

Alice set us up.

Isabella made everything right.

Started off with lustful lessons.

Her the student.

And me the teacher.

But truth be told.

She taught me so much more.

Showing me my very best features.

Love and forgiveness.

Family and sweetness.

That I'm worthy.

Deserving of happiness.

I am.

Because of her.

She's my Nirvana.

Chapter End Notes:

The word Nirvana summed up means any place or condition of great peace or bliss. That's what Bella is to Edward. She's his perfect happiness, and he's hers. :)

I can't believe this journey is coming to an end. It started out as a crazy little plot bunny that jumped in the shower with me one morning and evolved into 100 chapters. I hope you guys have enjoyed reading it as much as I've loved writing it. It was a little stressful at times, posting twice a day, but I made you a promise at the beginning and wanted to keep it. I hope I did good. :D

I have to thank DreamOfTheEndless for being the most amazing support system a girl could ever ask for. She listened to this insane story idea one morning in October and encouraged me to write it. She's allowed me to vent, toss ideas at her, suggested words and phrases, helped plot out the story line and pushed me to make it better, cracked her whip when I needed some tough love, cheered me on when I didn't think I could write another word, held my hand and gave me hugs when I needed a friend, listened to me cry over real life drama, and read every chapter several times over. I can't thank you enough, sweetness. You're stuck with me now. You know I love you big bunches.

To everyone who has read, reviewed, faved, alerted, PMed, or recc'd this story out, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your love and kindness have overwhelmed me and gotten me through the past two months. I hope that both the story and I have lived up to your expectations.

I don't know what new story projects I will undertake in the future, but I hope you'll put me on alert. I do have a full length story to get back to. It's an AH fic that is near and dear to my heart. You'll find it on my profile. It's called Always Leads Back to You. I'd love for you to check it out if you haven't yet. It should be completing in the next couple months.

I guess that's it for now. I hope you'll leave me some love one last time. I'll be hoarding a box of tissues and crying as I mark this story complete.

Love, hugs, and smooches, kids!

XOXO!
