"Mostly I dream about being with you forever."

His expression changed, softened and saddened by the subtle ache in my voice.

"Bella." His fingers lightly traced the shape of my lips. "I will stay with you - isn't that enough?"

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

Edward gets his wish.

Bella finds herself trapped in a bad relationship and takes off to start a new life. She finds work as an exotic dancer, and finds she must overcome many issues in order to build a new relationship with a new man, Edward Cullen. Contains adult themes.

Mary Alice Brandon was born in Biloxi, Mississippi sometime during 1901. She had lived with a small family, an adoring little sister, and a power to see into the future- a power which eventually put her in a mental asylum. Elliot, an assistant physican and a vampire, grew very attatched to Alice. Over the course of one year the two formed a very strong relationship. Until the day another vampire caught sight of her. James, realizing immediately how much Elliot adored Alice, decided to make her his new prey. Elliot knew of James' plans and took Alice away from the asylum, changing her just in time to keep her safe from James. But by doing this he payed his own life and left Alice on her own to find her way and to find herself again. This is what Alice has forgotten.

Thanks to TellyTubby101 for the fantastic banner!

What if Bella realized Edward was planning to leave her after the incident at her 18th Birthday party? Could she let his family give up the one place where they could be truly comfortable? Would she be able to disappear to give the Cullens a chance to live normal lives? She has to find the strength to walk away before Edward has a chance to break her heart – something she is certain she would not be able to survive.

What if Carlisle Cullen had not always been the saint he is in the Saga? What if he had taken an easier way, and done what came to him naturally as a vampire?

This is my idea of how his life might have been.

Bear with me on the dates and when people may or may not have existed. Haha. :)

Bannercredit goes to me :) yes, that's me in the banner photos :)

Bella has given up after both Edward and Jacob have left her. 

He's a boy with a recipe.  She's a girl who knows where her heart is.  The storm is just background noise. Jake/Bells

"But the memory of a too-tall cliff, an ethereal boy’s voice, and an insistent pounding between her shoulder blades is proof that hearts don’t really break; sometimes you just leave them somewhere you shouldn’t."

Rated NC-17 for references to underage drinking.
