Just to see what he was doing. I don't own anything.

EPOV: I was staring out my window, wishing I had stayed at Bella's longer, but I didn't want to get caught. I hadn't spoken to her since I saved her, and it was excruciating. Edward school. I went downstairs with my siblings and got in the car. Emmett was making promises to Rosalie about today, Valentine's day. the one day I was reminded how alone I was. All my family would be going out on dates and I would be at home, wishing I was with Bella. I pulled into the parking lot, and sat in my car. My Bella, pulled into the lot with the monster truck of hers. She should have a nice sleek, smooth car, easy to drive. I watched her sit in the cab, a scowl marring her beautiful face. I only watched her, wishing I was next to her, smoothing the lines off her forehead. But you can't be that close, you're a monster, a predator bent on killing her. That's all you are. You'd kill her. I wanted to kill that voice, the one thing it seemed to be keeping me from her. But it was right, I would kill her. When I looked at her truck again, she was gone.

I was walking to lunch when I heard to mind-voices speaking. Wow, Bella really has some admirers. Typical Emmett. But wait, what about Bella? I heard Rosalie saying how weird it was that teenage boys give girls so many impractical gifts. The Alice, the only one who knew I wanted to really surprise Bella, thinking about how much Bella would love my gift. I stopped listening to them, and focused on the table where Bella usually sat. I know it may sound stalkerish, but, I really care about her. I even had two cards made for her today. I just hadn't figured out what to write in them. They showed my meadow, one place I went during the days I was parted from her, and where I had thought of her lullaby.

Bet Bella didn't get what I got. Twelve roses and a chocolate heart. Beat that. Lauren Mallory, the one person it seemed at the table to truly hate Bella. I heard her challenge Bella, but it was Bella's answer that took me by surprise. " So I guess four boxes of chocolate, three teddy bears, thirteen roses, and a basket full of all kinds of goodies is insignificant Lauren?" I smiled, but then I summarized the gifts. I quickly felt shocked. Who had? I quickly scanned the minds of the boys at her table, and sure enough, each was smug in their conquest of giving gifts to Bella. My Bella. I felt rage, anger, and frustration coursing thru me. I vaguely realized Bella had left the room, but it didn't help my urge to kill the boys. Jasper realized my emotions and sent calming waves to me. I continued to stare at the table, wanting them to know they had crossed a line. I heard the bell ring and I quickly got up and went to biology, my only class with her. I sat next to her and saw her blank look. I didn't pay attention, but, I wrote her a note, hoping to lighten her day. I would do anything to see her smile. I put it on top of her books as she left the room. I went in the other direction, not towards Spanish, but towards the parking lot. I wanted to see her in gym. I stood in the shadows of the gym, and watched the class play basketball. Bella was just standing there, probably hoping she didn't get the ball. Less than a minute was left when the ball was given to her. Oh, no. I saw her throw, but I knew it wouldn't go in. I quickly ran, and gently pushed the ball into the hoop, not stopping until I got back by the door again. I watched everyone cheer Bella but as I walked out the door, I thought she saw me. But she didn't smile. I watched Bella trying to figure out what to get her. then it hit me.

I ran down to Portland, a few minutes, but I wound up in front of a small shop. I walked inside. I went up to the jewelry counter and bought the silver locket. It was empty but, Esme always love a challenge. I got back and drove home by myself. " Esme?" She looked up at me, " Yes Edward?" She was my mother, and knew that it was hard for me being parted from Bella. " I was wondering, if you could help me make this locket. I know what I want in it, it's just getting it done by tonight seems hard." She took the locket, " I doubt it will be Edward."

It was nearing ten when I was done. Esme had placed the rose in the locket, but left the engraving to me. " Oh Edward it's lovely, she'll love it," Alice told me. She and Jasper were going to a Paris for the weekend. I smiled, Robert burns fit my Bella. " Now I left the other half in your room, I used your money, plus, I know you would have gotten it, so go Edward." I laughed. Leave it to Alice. I put the locket into the box, and went upstairs. I smiled. The roses, bear, candles, everything was perfect.

I put the box and card on her bed. The effect was stunning. When I came in, Bella and Charlie were eating dinner, apparently he had made it, well, he called in for help, but he made it. I saw the bear on her bed stand and remembered it from a photo Charlie had on the mantle. A four-year-old Bella was holding it. I looked around again, but something was bothering me. Something ruined the effect. It then hit me. I saw the gifts from the blithering idiots at school, and the thirteen roses. Bad number. I heard the sink run in the bathroom, and I quickly grabbed the offending objects, and jumped out the window. I took the articles to the border and threw them over. Let them have them. I quickly ran back. I looked in the window to see Bella on her bed reading the card. I had poured my unbeating heart into it. Then she opened the box. Her heart sped up, it was music to my ears. I watched her, like a man sees a goddess, I never let my eyes waver. She opened the locket and read the poem, the one that was my favorite for her. I watched her, and saw the locket go around her neck. Watched her blow out the candles, turn off the light, but then I saw it. She smiled, and touched the locket. I started to hum her lullaby, and I watched her sleep. Knowing I had gotten her to smile, on a day she despised.
