Author's notes- I do not own these Twilight characters

Please review and enjoy!

It's Christmas Eve, I'm having my company's Christmas party at my condo and who knew in just minutes I would be sitting here watching my whole life fall apart. Bella, my girlfriend and I got into a huge fight. It is over something so stupid. She had finally agreed to move in with me. I had asked her numerous times, but she always said she wasn't ready. Neither of us were big fans of commitment, but as soon as I saw her I knew I loved her. The more I loved her, the more I knew I wanted her and only her. Forever. She finally agreed to move in a few

days ago, that's what I wanted for Christmas. Nothing else, just for her to wake up in my arms every morning. She hasn't even brought anything over yet and we were already fighting over furniture. Now I'm sitting here in a drunken stupor, sitting in my chair staring at the place we rarely shared. She hadn't shown up to the party yet, well if she was even going to. I just wanted to have a good Christmas with my love, but it looks like that's not going to happen. Yes, once again Edward Cullen would be alone on Christmas.

My employees are gathered out on the balcony, drinking and being merry. I'm sitting here just feeling sorry for myself. I have a bottle of Glenlivet and a rocks glass to keep me company. That's all I wanted right now, well besides her. The music is going in one ear and right out the other. I couldn't even tell you what song was playing. Several people tried to get me to joy the fun, but I just wanted my Bella. I checked my phone every ten minutes, hoping she would call, text, anything. Still nothing. I hope she was at her home , safe and sound. Even though more than anything I wanted her here. I would give anything, just for her to be here in my arms.

"Hello Edward", Tanya my ex said hugging me from behind.

"Go away, just leave me alone", I told her

"Come out here, everyone wants to see you."

"I'm fine right here".

"Edward, this is your party, come dance with me", Tanya pleaded

"No", I shouted

"Eddie don't do me that way", she said pulling me in for a kiss while holding mistletoe over my head.

When I finally get her off of me, I look up to see Bella with a thin rectangular box wrapped in silver paper with a bright red bow. She looked so beautiful in a red silk dress. Tears start pouring over, running her makeup down her face and the present hits the floor. Glass shattered and she ran out the door. I was way too drunk to run after her. I couldn't even get out of the chair, much less go after her. I kept yelling for her, but I knew she would be gone. I called her phone non-stop, leaving message after message to explain myself. Then she finally blocked my number. I gave up and passed out.

The next morning I woke up in the chair, with a headache from hell. My place is trashed. Food, liquor bottles, beer bottles everywhere. Appreciative employees huh? I was a horrible excuse for a human being. I drank almost a whole bottle of bourbon, while I sat around feeling sorry for myself. I don't even remember most of the night. Glad my employees at least decided to leave at point. Then I look down and saw a present on the floor. Oh shit, it was coming back to me..... Bella saw Tanya kissing me. I tried calling Bella again. Shit, she still had my number blocked. I walked over and sat on the floor. I read the card first.

To Edward the love of my life.

Here's to our first Christmas together and to many many more.

I love you more than life its self

-- Bella

I unwrapped the present, it was a picture frame with a ...........
