Bella Swan is devistated after Edward leaves her in the woods.  After he leaves, she experiences some of the worst pain imaginable, but not all of it is from her broken heart.  80 years later, the Cullens return to Forks, Washington to begin fresh. But even Alice couldn't see what would turn the Cullens' peaceful world for a spin. AU for new characters and a completely new story line.

Bella meets Edward when he picks up his nephew from her Pre-K class and the sparks fly.  As their feelings for each other grow, Edward has a prior commitment that he is convinced must be seen through. A commitment that is effectively keeping them apart. Are there some complications that even the strongest hearts can't overcome? Can they resist the one thing they can't have--Each other?

To get to the prize, they'll have to survive the temptation of one another, in this emotional waiting game.

Show and Don't Tell.

Edward leaves Bella, much like the beginning of 'New Moon', however, this time, they are all human and there is quite the twist.  Why did Edward leave Bella?  And what secret is Bella keeping when he leaves?

Can they make a nightmare turn into a dream?

AU New Moon. There is no Jacob. Edward comes back during a school party in the gym. Has a happy ending :)

Companion story to Breathe Again, written as a side to Chapters 33 & 34: Mischief.

What kind of friend would Embry be if he just stood by and let Lauren come in between Jake and Bella? (One-shot)

~If you asked me, Jake was lucky Bella even bothered to come to him about it instead of just dumping him. And now he was too scared of stirring up trouble and upsetting Bella to do anything about it.~

~The pack was lucky, too, because dealing with Jake when he and Bella were on the outs was no picnic. But a call to Leah and a trip to Forks High would solve everything.~

The Volturi have surrendered in defeat.  Peace has been restored in Forks for the Cullens and Bella and Edward can finally begin their eternal happily ever after.  But what happens when the past, long since forgotten, overlooked, or undiscovered altogether comes back to haunt you?  The turmoil within the vampire realm began long before Bella and Edward and old grudges don't fade easily.  Once again, the Cullens will find themselves in the heart of it all.  When friends become enemies and families divide, who will be left standing when old bonds crumble and the past comes back to shape the future?

Set during New Moon, crossover with the film 30 Days of Night. When Bella travels to Barrow, Alaska to attend her cousin's wedding, she unwittingly steps into one of the most dangerous situations of her life. This story will extend well beyond the traditional 30 Days of Night storyline to include how the ramifications of what happens in Barrow affect Bella's relationships with all of the Cullens.

*Warning -  Some chapters contain graphic violence*

THIS STORY HAS BEEN PUT ON HIATUS. At least until september-october 2010. I am getting married in august and it's hard to plan a wedding and write at the same time. I applaud those who can do that. I am NOT giving up on this story and I WILL finish it. Eventually. Thanks for understanding.

After Edward left in New Moon, Bella changed. She changed everything about herself in hopes of forgetting him. She graduated and moved down to California. The one place she knew she would never see the Cullens. 4 years later, she is now known as Elle Swan, a successful interior designer. What happens when she is sent somewhere else for her job?

Favorite review so far:

Ahh... so good!! A perfect mix with fluff and reality, you're soo good at writing that I gets envious *envious sigh*.

Have I told you how good this story and idea really is. There are many different stories where Bella changes her personality drastically after Edward left. And of all those stories I have been reading I think you are the one that has captured Bella's personalty best. Many of the stories have changed Bella that much that if she wasn't namned Bella you shouldn't know it was her, but you, even if you see the big changes, you can find the Bella how she was shy, sweet and madly in love with Edward four years ago. With another words - I think you are the one that have captured Bellas character best.
