Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever, own this piece of cra- . . . I mean, fiction. The Twilight series belongs to someone who obviously has no idea how to write a decent story.

Turning down the deserted street I breathed a sigh of relief when I spotted Edward standing shirtless at the other end. I'd been looking for him for awhile now and was glad that I wasn't going to have to race around this stupid city anymore. I mean first I'm stuck in that deathtrap of a car with Alice, that girl should have her license revoked with the way she drives, and then I have to run after Edward on foot because the stupid car gets blocked in. It feels like I've been chasing him down for days and all I want to do is go home and sleep for a week.

Jogging towards him I manage to grab his arm just as he's moving to step out onto the main street. "Edward," I manage to get out breathlessly. Like I said, I've been running for quite some time. "I finally found you."

He jerked around so fast I'm fairly certain he would've snapped his neck had he been human, but seeing as he's already dead he merely eyed me with wide eyes. "B-bella! You're here!" he cried out, pulling me into his arms and crushing me to his chest. "I thought you were dead!"

Patting his back awkwardly, I gently pushed him away. "Um, no, I'm obviously still alive, but now that I've found you we really need to talk," I tell him sternly.

"I know, and I'm sorry I left you. I promise I'll never hurt you like that again."

Honestly, I have no idea what he's talking about, but he seems so heartbroken that I just nod my head and let him speak.

"Please don't do something like that ever again."

"What are you talking about?" Okay, so I hadn't meant to ask that just yet, I was on a schedule here, but I couldn't help it. He was talking nonsense and it was really starting to get on my nerves.

I swear the look he gave me was like something you'd give to a child who'd gotten in trouble for doing something they knew was incredibly stupid. When I raised an eyebrow at him he finally got around to explaining.

"You tried to kill yourself by jumping off that cliff!" he snapped, pulling me back into his arms as if he was afraid I was going to disappear. Yeah, cause I'm the one with unusual abilities here.

Pushing him away, again, I took a deep breath before speaking. "Look, I have no idea what the hell you're talking about. I never tried to kill myself; I was only having a bit of fun. Not that it should matter to you seeing as how you left awhile ago." Shaking my head I ran a hand over my face in exasperation. This guy could be a real pain to deal with sometimes. "Anyway, enough about that, we need to talk."

His hands found their way to my shoulders and he made sure to stare directly into my eyes when he said the next part. "Don't worry; now that you're here I don't plan on killing myself anymore."

I didn't know I was supposed to be worried about that to begin with, but whatever. "Okaaay," I said slowly. "That's . . . great. Now, can we get back to the reason I'm here please, I don't have all day."

Again with that look. He must not have any other facial movements available to him. I guess that's a downside to being a sparkly vampire, the muscles in your face die along with the rest of you.

"I've already said I won't get myself killed, what more is there?" he asked, and I have to admit he sounded genuinely confused. I wonder what Alice said to him.

Now I'm confused as well, but that's not really a surprise. Not when it comes to the Cullens family. Nothing about those guys ever makes sense. "I never thought you were trying to off yourself," I said finally. "That's not why I'm here."

"Then why did you come if it wasn't to stop me from exposing myself to the humans?" he asked, head cocked slightly to the side.

"Alice has extra tickets to a concert and wants us to tag along with her and Jasper"

Oh look, I've surprised him yet again. Apparently not all of his facial muscles have died.

He opened and closed his mouth so many times I lost count before he finally managed to speak. "You mean to tell me, you flew half way around the world and ran around an unknown city just so you could drag me to a concert?"

I shrugged. "Well, yeah." I'm not exactly sure why he sounds so annoyed. This isn't the first time Alice has gone to extreme measures to get something she wanted. That's pretty much the girl's MO after all.

"So you didn't come here to save me?"

The poor guy sounded so disappointed I couldn't help what I said next. "Okay, okay, you got me. I was just messing with you. Alice thought that if I pretended to have another reason for being here you might take it better than if I just showed up and begged you to come home." Great, now I was going to have to rinse my mouth out to get rid of the sickly sweet taste in it. Man, the things I do for these peo-. . . I mean vampires.

A smile spread across his face and he pulled me into his arms . . . again. "So you did come here for me. I knew it."

Forcing myself to hug him back I rolled my eyes since I was certain he couldn't see me. Alice was so going to die the next time I saw her. Bribing me with a free trip to Italy and a concert ticket so I'd come save her idiotic brother from doing something stupid, what kind of friend does that?
