You all really have to thank Phantom-Writer3739. I was looking over some of my reviews to try and get over my writers block for this story and that review got my mind rolling. This isn't the end of BBB though there will be several more chapters. I apologize so much to those of you who have been waiting months for this and I hope I live up to your expectations. If you don't like it I am sorry. But I rather it tookso long to write than take someones advice and delete the story or come up with a cheap ending. Love you all. Please review even though I don't deserve it.

Edwards POV:

It was the day before Bella came back and I was waiting near Britt's car. She came out and I saw the caution in her eyes.

"Hey Edward." She said quietly. Her black eye was healing nicely.

"Britt." I said.

"You're dumping me aren't you?" She asked and I dropped my head against her car.

"Yeah." Was all I said to that.

"You love her don't you?" She asked and I looked up at her, surprised. "Everyone can see it when you look at her. It's written all over your face."

"Then it must be in some foreign language, because she doesn't know." I said with a dark laugh.

Britt laughed.

"Trust me, she knows. She's scared." When I looked at her quizzically she smiled. "Before Bella came here I ruled this school. I know fear. And I know what it's like to be afraid to go after love."

"I keep trying to think of some way to make it up to her but..."

We were silent for a little while and I looked at her.

"I really am sorry. I used you to try and forget her because it hurt to know that I had left her broken. I never meant to hurt you.

"Honestly her fist hurt worse."

I laughed at that. I bet it did.

"I've got an idea." She said. "But I'm not sure it'll work."

.......................................................................................................................

The next morning I was desperately reevaluating my sanity.

"Don't rethink this." Alice said. "I can't see if it'll work but I think it will. Now be a man and do this."

I sat at the piano set up in the quad and ignored all the students staring at me.

When I saw Bella's motorcycle pull up I started playing the song I hadn't played in 250 years. It started out so slow the humans would barely be able to hear it. I didn't look up, afraid to see Bella's rejection.

The song played out and I tuned out the 'oohs' and 'aahs' as I played. I got into a complicated bridge and my forehead creased in concentration. It was so like our relationship had been.

Complicated.

Beautiful.

Pure.

I played it out through the verses I had been adding in my mind all night, wondering where Bella was. I knew she had been sleeping because I had felt her conscious brushing against my mind. I had carefully blocked it out.

I played and tried to put every ounce of love and adoration I had for Bella into it.

When I was done I kept my head bowed over the keys I hadn't touched for years before this. I was amazed that Esme had kept it in such good condition through the years.

I didn't move when I felt Bella sit next to me on the bench.

"That was beautiful." She whispered. I shook my head sadly.

"It doesn't even compare. It's nothing next to what I feel for you."

I took a deep breath and smelled fresh water. Tears.

"Please don't cry." I begged looking up at her. "I didn't want to make you cry." I pulled her onto my lap and held her close to my chest. I was relieved when she didn't push me away.

"I never meant to hurt you." I whispered pressing my lips to her forehead.

"Play it again?" She said but it sounded more like a plea. I would not, could not deny her anything. I kept her on my lap and played her lullaby from the top while she buried her face into my neck. I kept my eyes closed and my lips on her hair, fearing that if I moved she would leave.

I barely noticed our families ushering the students off to class and giving us some privacy.

When I was done I lowered the key guard and lifted her onto it in front of me.

"Bella..." I said. There was a tear on her cheek and I reached up to wipe it away and press it to my lips. "I am so sorry that I ever hurt you. I never meant to and I have regretted it every day since. This is the first time I've played in 250 years.

"I just got you back in my existence and I was happier to see you angry at me, refusing to talk to me, than I have been since I left. I don't know if I could bare to let you walk away from me again.

"Please Bella... I know I don't deserve it... but please forgive me. Let me spend the rest of my eternal life happily making it up to you."

She looked into my eyes with her head tipped to the side and stared at me for so long I thought she was going to say no.

"One condition." She whispered. "Play it again."
