TANYA'S POV.

Here I was, just another day, bloodthirsty. And to add on top of that, I was here, lonely, without someone to love. The love of my life was away- but I know he'll come back. Like last time, when he said he was "getting away from the human girl whose blood was so tempting." But I knew that deep down, he was not running away from something. He was running back to something. And that something was me.

I remember the first time I saw him. The moment my golden eyes shifted to him, to lock his gaze with mine, I knew we were destined to be. There was this powerful connection, I felt it. Even though he said he showed no interest in me, which pained me deeply, I soon realized that he was scared. Scared of being with someone, having someone to love. Unlike the rest of his adopted family, he had no mate. So I learned to be patient.

I was sure that if I had a beating heart, it would be beating uncontrollably, just because I was thinking his name.

Edward.

"HELLO!!" Irina yelled, "I was talking to you!" "Please tell me you are not thinking about Edward. It's like he's ruling your life, yet he's not even here."

"Leave me alone." I mumbled, too low for even vampire ears to hear. "I was just thinking when I will get to see him again; he is the love of my life you know."

"Of course Tanya, but..."

"BUT WHAT?" I hissed, my voice fierce.

"BUT .." she sighed. "I was going to suggest you stop waiting for him to-"

I cut her off. "No. I can't give up because I know he hasn't either."

"She was going to say that instead of waiting for him to come to you, you should cometo him." Carmen said quietly, she was always to calm, yet there was a hint of annoyance in her voice this time.

I thought about it. Seeing Edward again? Why wouldn't I miss this chance to tell him my feelings for him again, so he can return the love? Maybe this time he wasn't afraid of love.

Kate, who was of course listening to the whole thing, came at vampire speed to me with the phone on her hand. I smiled as hard as I could, pleased at the idea to see Edward again.

EDWARD'S POV

I had learned that Tanya was coming over, the effect of the argument she had with her sisters. She sounded very upset, and Carlisle of course accepted her with open arms, the way they accepted me when Bella had first arrived here to live in Forks.

Ah, Bella.

The love of my life, my soon to be bride. She was the clumsiest, the most stubborn, trouble attracting human I had ever met, but then again, that was part of her charm. The way she says my name in her sleep, the way the redness creeps up to her face when she is embarrassed...I had never met someone like her before. I love her and yet, even that's not enough to express the great love I have for her. There aren't words.

Bella knows, on account of Rosalie, that Tanya showed preference to me at one point, before Bella & I met, and of course Bella didn't like the thought of Tanya being that close to me, which I find adorable. I am sure that by this point, Bella has accepted the fact that she is my only love.

Bella was fully aware of whom Tanya was and I was worried. What will she think of me when I tell her that we accepted Tanya to live with us for a few weeks? How will she respond? How will Tanya respond of Bella? After all, she is human. Is it best not to tell her? These questions swirled around my mind, making me lose focus on what I was doing.

Stop it Edward. Can you at least try to control your emotions? They are killing me.

"Sorry" I murmured to Jasper. I thought about how Tanya will see that I am not for her, and the thought made me fractionally happy, which was better for Jasper's sake.

I wonder how Bella's going to react...hm... if I tell that to Edward, he's just going to get worried, and Jasper's gonna bring it out on me.

"I heard that Emmett." I said in a serious tone.

Damn it. Now I bet Jasper's gonna kill me. Great.

Edward! Stop with the nervousness!

I felt a wave of calmness crash into me, which drove out the panic, making me think clearer about how I was going to tell Bella that Tanya was coming over.

BELLA'S POV.

It's been about 3 hours that I haven't seen Edward, and I know he's coming back, but it's still enough to make me anxious. He told me he needed to go hunting quickly, and after he said he needed to speak to Carlisle right away for some reason, he wouldn't tell me what. I'm impatient to find out what he has been waiting to tell me- he wanted to tell me something. I knew that from the minute he came here.

I knew I had to distract myself before I get any more anxious, so I started reading "Wuthering Heights" again. After a few minutes, I felt his cool breath tickle my ear. "Hello, Bella" he murmured. It didn't surprise me how I had no idea when he entered my window. But I was ridiculously excited to see him again so I threw myself to him, putting my arms around him after scanning his perfect features.

"Edward!" I said, hopefully too low for Charlie to hear.

"You seem to be in a good mood." he noted.

"Because I'm with you." I rolled my eyes as I stated the obvious.

"Well, I guess that's a good thing, because I have something to tell you, it's very...important...for you to... know." He murmured the last part so quietly I wouldn't have caught it if I wasn't paying attention.

"What is it Edward?" I was instantly serious. What did he want to tell me? Where we in danger? What was going on? A thousand possibilities popped in my head, and I became anxious and worried. I guess he saw my panic because he tried to calm me immediately.

"Bella, Bella, Bella. Don't worry, it's nothing to fear. There is no danger for you to feel distressed about." he said, kissing my forehead. I waited for what he wanted to tell me, calming down a little.

"We have a...a visitor staying with us for a while."

I shot him a worried glance.

"Don't worry Bella; she's a vegetarian, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Wait. What do you mean by "she?" Who is staying in Forks, Edward?"

He grimaced, not wanting to say anything more. I waited as he struggled to search the words he wanted to say, as if saying them in the slightest wrong way would make everything go bad. It surprised me that he was struggling with words; I have only seen him like this every few months. Finally my patience was gone.

"Spit it out, Edward! Who's staying with us?"

He grimaced once more and stated calmly, "Tanya. From the Denali."

He winced slightly at my expression, but I had no idea how I looked like just now.

"What?" I managed to say. I cleared my throat twice, and then started again. "What? Why? What does she want?"

"She got in a fight, with her sisters I mean, and she needed to stay away from them for a while."

I couldn't make out any more words. I just sat there shocked.

"We had to accept her, Bella, because of the fact that they accepted me when you barely arrived in Forks, they accepted me with open arms. Carlisle would have denied doing anything else but the same."

I sat there at the edge of my bed, trying to not hyperventilate. When I calmed down, my breathing at least, all my focus went on Tanya. Tanya- the beautiful, blonde, vampire who adored Edward at some point, my Edward, was staying here in Forks! No... how much could I stand of her until I prepare to not go to the Cullen's house until she's gone?

"We don't have to go back until she's gone, Bella, if that's what's best."

"No that's okay," I said, trying to control the violent shaking in my voice, "We can go."

"Are you sure, Bella? We don't have to. I want you to be comfortable and if being around her makes you uncomfortable we're not going."

"No I can handle it, Edward, I'll be okay."

Even after everything, my human instincts dared to ask, "When is she coming? How long is she staying?"

"Only two weeks & she's coming tomorrow." He answered faster than usual.

"Okay," I mumbled.

He sighed in relief as I accepted his open arms & sat on his lap. I felt his cold hands hug me slightly. He kissed my forehead gently and I twisted my body to look at him.

"Don't worry, Bella, it's only two weeks." he said, as if I wasn't already comforted enough.

"I can handle that. Two weeks." I mumbled as I rested my head on his chest.

I have some ideas on what will happen next, but I want to hear what you guys have to say!
