At seventeen, Edward was the new kid that fell for the chief’s daughter. At twenty-seven, he's a broken man in therapy still trying to get over his lost love.

He blames himself, but was it really his fault? He thinks she's long gone, but is she actually closer than he could imagine?

Some can't hold on. Some can't let go. Some aren't supposed to.

Edward and Bella find more than supplies in their closet at work.

Based on the song "Oklahoma" by Billy Gilman. Edward's past comes back to haunt him when he receives a phone call with news he never expected. Will it change his and Bella's lives forever?

paydayoo made this beautiful banner, and subsequently, my entire day! <3

My name is Isabella Marie Swan.  I am damaged. I didn't use to be. I used to be that girl who loved literature and music and romantic movies on the Hallmark channel. Now I just try to get through each day without hurting myself — or someone I love. It all started with a boy — isn't that always the case?

After a life-changing event, Bella has left Forks to live with her mom and Phil in Florida.  She's never expected to hear from him again, but when a letter arrives unexpectedly from Edward, it sends her life in a tail spin and forces her to face the demons of her past.  

This story contains the topic of suicide.  

*UPDATE!* To all my readers, I'm so sorry for the delay! (And thank you for reading!!!) I'm in my first trimester of pregnancy and I've been so, so, so sick. :( I'm still writing, the process is just much, much slower. I just wanted to let you know that I haven't let the story drop and I still fully intend to finish it. 

I also wanted to share a banner that DanceWithMeTonight made for the story! Yay! Go check it out!

Bella is the daughter of the vice president of the United States.
Edward is a new member of her Secret Service detail.
Will they be able to fight their attraction,
or will her eighteenth birthday mean a green light?

Edward comes from wealth and all that that implies. His future is already written by his grandfather as it is for all the Cullen men. He has the right friends, attends the right schools, and he will marry the right woman. He always did what was expected of him and accepted it all without question until he met Bella, a student working her way through school, and everything changed.

Exhaust...motor oil...leather...

Motors rumbling...laughter...gunshots...

Any combination of one or all of these things makes me feel at home...makes me feel safe.

What happens as Bella and Edward wade their way through the mess of living deep within the life of a motorcycle club?  Will their love conquer all? Or will something bigger than both of them tear them apart? Twilight/Sons of Anarch cross.

Twenty-two-year-old Bella Swan works for Edward Cullen, the thirty-nine-year-old Vice President at Providence Medical Center in Portland.  After years of fighting their attraction to each other, a quick tryst in the break room leads to a thrilling but complicated relationship.  Trying not to get caught by the prying eyes of their entire workplace, they’re forced to hide their relationship and deal with his ex-wife and his sixteen-year-old daughter.

For ten years, Edward Cullen has had a secret desire. Isabella Swan is in the business of making fantasies come true. Together, they'll discover more than they ever expected. 1st place winner for Public Vote and Judge's Choice in the LDA anonymous contest.

After a terrible shipwreck in the Mediterranean Sea, Isabella Swan, marquise de Courville, her two best friends, and her loyal servants are rescued, but only to become slaves and serve the Volturi brothers, three men with very dark desires. Will Edward let Bella suffer in their hands or will he try to save her? On what side does he stand ? All Human. Domward. Canon pairings.

It's time for that annual exam all women hate.  To make matters worse, Bella's regular doctor is out sick.  Rescheduling is not an option.  What will she do when Dr. Tanner’s intern enters the room?  One-shot. All Human.  (Words minus ANs 7,126)

After losing her father while she was still in college, Bella Swan was left with only a big dream, and an unexpected life insurance pay-out. She thought she had a solid plan to build her own business and make her dad proud. At twenty years old, she became the owner of bed and breakfast in Vermont.

Soon, the only thing that Bella is more certain of than the fact that the Volturi B&B is trying to kill her, is the fact that she is totally alone with her struggles. Her ‘master plan’ never included all the possibilities of what could go wrong with the purchase of an old property in Vermont.

Enter VTrans engineer, Edward Cullen. It doesn't take long for Edward to decide he's the one to make Bella see herself clearly for the first time. Luckily he soon has his brother Jasper, mom Esme and Bella's firend Alice all pulling for Team Edward.
