AURORA FROST
I was silently sitting there waiting with a blanket covering me as I was thinking about the inevitable. Sitting here thinking about who would come through those doors and thinking about how this inevitable conversation would end. But, even though I was basically 'in the dark' I did know a little something. And that something was that I was incredibly bored. Bored and growing impatient.

As I continued to watch the door, waiting for any sudden changes in the tones that I could hear, nothing happened. Absolutely nothing. Now, God only knows how long I've been waiting here but you know, right now, it seemed as if I've been here endlessly. How fun.

I sighed as I didn't think anything else could happen here. All I could hear was the incoherent talking and mumbling happening from outside the guestroom doors of James and Renesmee's house. Then, that's when it occurred to me. The situation, the place, the people. Of course. How could I have been so blind?!

"Go talk to her!" I heard a voice shout that I recognized to be James. Of course. That meant I was right. Duh.

"But what if s-" another voice muttered as I couldn't really recognize it. Maybe I was wrong...then again, the voice was silent and I couldn't really...understand.

"Shut up. Shut up and go!" James snapped once more as the two of them went back and forth basically screaming at one another. Great. How great. James and some guy who I suspected, but wasn't sure of, going at it like an old married couple.

I sighed as I heard them fight even more. It was getting irritating. So, in frustration, I got up and picked up a book I noticed that was on the bookshelf. Romeo and Juliet. Classic. Should've known. It is Renesmee after all.

Gently I grabbed it and sat back onto the bed. I didn't want to ruin the book because only God knows how old this book was. This love tragedy of a book.

"Just go!" James yelled as I sighed trying to block it out as eventually, I did. I went into my own little land of Romeo and Juliet where nothing else existed. To me, it was just, me. Me and this book.

I sat there smiling as I read letting the background noise become...noise. Everything seemed silent as I heard another yell which snapped me out of my world as I sighed slightly. How was this going to end?

Then, suddenly, the talking became Incoherent and mumbling again as maybe it was calm. For now. For at least until that door opened and the inevitable came in to burn down my little fictional land that I wished I could live in. Oh well. Reality. Fun.

As everything became silent I continued to read my book happily. Everything for once seemed just perfect. But, that's when perfection decided that it didn't want to exist anymore. That's when those doors decided to open and tear away my fictional realm and reveal no other than Edward Cullen. Duh.

Hesitantly I watched him as he walked into the room. He looked a bit...afraid. Like I would attack him or something. I admit it was kinda funny.

As he continued this slow motion of stalking towards me, I got bored and decided to drift off into fictional land once more.

Silently, I picked up the book again and started to read as I couldn't really concentrate. I had...eyes on me. It was to the point where his intensified stare could've killed me if he wanted.

"Aurora..." he spoke gently as I saw him, from the corner of eyes, standing right in front of me. Waiting. But, all I did was ignore him. I didn't want to see him. After all, if I did, I could burst and snap.

"If this is about me losing control you have every right to be mad...I hurt you and I hate that I did but please...forgive me" he begged as I couldn't help but bite my cheek so I wouldn't laugh at how...wrong he was. I mean, I wasn't even mad about the sex because I knew it wasn't his fault but, everything after that, I was.

Then again, right now I would've been in tears and ripping himself a new one, or I would be desperately trying to kill myself but honestly, I felt...empty? I couldn't tell.

"Look, I know what I did was wrong. I want to make it up to you...somehow" he whispered as I knew he was hoping and begging for forgiveness. But, I didn't care. I was...waiting. Waiting for something else. For a...different apology. After all, he seemed so interested in the sex that he probably forgot the fact he hit me and left me in the dirt to rot and WAITED for James to come help me.

"I know I messed up Aurora" he spoke gently as suddenly he yelled. Because, once he finished saying my name, he flipped.

"Please. I know I messed up Aurora but FOR GOD SAKES PUT THE BOOK DOWN!" he yelled and ripped the book from my grasp and threw it down onto the bed earning a loud thud. Well, shit. Here we go.

"Can't you see I'm trying?! I'm trying to fix my mistake but all you seem to do is ignore me! Can't you see I love you and I'm trying to fix this?!" he screamed as I continued to sit there. Unfazed. I was done.

"Aurora! Say something dammit!"

"I will talk to you when you figured out why I'm upset, Edward" I growled as I spoke of his name with venom laced into my voice.

"I am trying! I am trying but, all you're doing is pushing me away! I told you I was sorry so grow up and listen!" he yelled as I snapped. I snapped.

"CAN'T YOU SEE HOW MUCH I FUCKING LOVE YOU EDWARD?! CAN'T YOU SEE HOW MUCH I CARE?! DO YOU THINK I WANT TO PUSH YOU AWAY?! NO! NO! I DON'T WANT TO PUSH YOU AWAY BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!" I screamed as I felt my fists clench and my nails dig into my palms angrily.

"No. You don't. If you did you would listen to my apology. If you would listen you would understand everything. If you would listen you would know how much you mean to me because Aurora, I love you but I'm afraid you don't love me as much as I love you because you aren't trying. You're giving up. It's like you don't care. Like you don't care about me, you, us. Like everyone should stop and watch you. Well, I'm trying Aurora. I'm trying. Maybe you should too" he spat and instantly turned around as I watched him walk to the door.

I now sat there watching. Watching silently as I waited for him to walk out those doors. As I waited to see the truth. As I waited to see if he truly loved me because if he did, if he did, he would stay. He would stay and fight. But he didn't...he didn't. I watched as he was almost through those doors and out of my life forever.

"I thought you loved me" I whimpered as I felt my voice crack and tears prick my eyes.

"I thought you l-loved me?" I choked out this time as I watched as he just stood there. Silent.

"I-I thought you loved me? I-I thought you-you cared?!" I cried out as I felt tears rolling down my cheeks like a waterfall.

"Y-You know, I-I don't think YOU understand" I stammered out shakily as I felt my fists clench harder knowing I would leave scars but I didn't care. That was the least of my concerns.

[You gave me a shoulder when I needed it]

"W-When everything went wrong you were there. YOU were there. When Daniel died...you were there. When I needed someone to listen, to cry to, YOU were t-there" I whimpered as silence again was my only responder.

[You showed me love when I wasn't feeling it]

"A-And I-I don't think you know that when everything went even shittier and I felt like there was no point in love...there was you. You proved me wrong. You showed me love every day. You showed me things aren't always so bad and I don't think you realize that" I sniffled as again silence.

[You helped me fight when I was giving in]

"A-And...w-what about those m-months...t-those months where I just wanted to say fuck it and end it. Right there. Where I wanted to just die? You were there. You were there, Edward...you taught me how to fight this...you showed me how to fight" I spoke dryly as I felt as if my voice was hoarse from all the hurt.

[And you made me laugh when I was losing it]

"A-And r-remember...when those days or months or years where I was...losing it...you made me laugh. Those days where I was just...breaking down t-to dust and a-ash you somehow...somhow made me smile by the end of the day" I spoke a bit louder as I felt my fists clench more. A tiny bit of anger and pain rushing through me.

"So no. No. I don't think you understand Edward. I don't think you understand how much YOU mean to me" I laughed dryly as I clenched my fists even tighter as I didn't think it was possible...but, it was.

['Cause you are, you are
The reason why I'm still hanging on]

"You know, you're the reason why I'm holding on! You're the reason why I'm still alive and why I'm still breathing!" I laughed as now I was yelling at him.

['Cause you are, you are
The reason why my head is still above water]

"You're the reason why I even still exist!" I laughed as I finally let go of my hands and turned them to see deep dark and bleeding crescent-like imprints into my palm. But, all I could do was think about the situation. The pain...the pain didn't even exist.

"I mean, without you I would be dead!" I laughed uncontrollably as I placed my head into my hands as I felt as everything was just...breaking. All of it going to shit after what? A small mishap?!

"So no, no. You don't know or understand yourself Edward" I laughed as suddenly my laughing started to dissipate and turn into light to heavy sobs.

[And if I could I'd get you the moon
And give it to you
And if death was coming for you
I'd give my life for you]

"If you were dying...I would give everything to bring you back. If it was a choice between me or you...I would pick you" he finally spoke in a soft and gentle tone as if he was trying to keep his composure. As if he himself was holding back tears.

['Cause you are, you are
The reason why I'm still hanging on]

"You say that I am the reason why you're still alive Aurora. You say that if I was no longer with you that you would no longer exist but, there is no me without you" he spoke even softer as I heard his voice break lightly in the middle of the sentence.

['Cause you are, you are
The reason why my head is still above water]

"I maybe don't fully understand you Aurora. Maybe, maybe I don't. Maybe there's so m-much more that I have to learn but, you're everything to me. In fact, YOU give me a reason to stay. YOU give me a-a reason to hold onto everything" he spoke a little louder as I heard all the cracks and breaks and stammers he was trying to hide as I noticed his stance was frozen...frozen and stone like...but yet, still somehow shaking violently.

[And if I could I'd get you the moon
I'd give it to you
And if death was coming for you
I'd give my life for you]

"Y-You think that I'm leaving and yelling and snapping because I don't love you but...I'm doing it because...because...you're e-everything to me" he spoke brokenly as I saw his hands were now clenching tightly.

['Cause you are, you are]

"I know you think you did something bad and terrible but I'm okay" I whispered gently as I hoped I could calm him down.

"I know you feel like I don't deserve you but it's the other way around. You don't deserve me. You deserve better" I cooed as he shook his head and I watched his fists clench more as he was doing just as I was.

[Oh, you are]

"No. Stop. It's my fault. I hurt you" he choked out shakily.

"I caused this. I hurt you...I basically r-raped you" he choked out as I noticed he winced at that thought. He was truly and deeply miserable.

[Oh, you are]

"No. No, you didn't so you stop" I spoke softly as I gently got up hearing the bed slightly creek and him tensing up a bit.

"I enjoyed it until just the end part. Other than that, I was happy. I was happy and couldn't ask for anything more" I smiled as I noticed he eased up a bit but once he heard me stepping closer he tensed up once more.

[You are]

"No...I hurt you...you don't know how truly and deeply sorry I am Aurora...I left bruises and marks all over you" he whimpered as I took a step closer watching his body tense more with each small and little step.

"N-Not to mention...I s-slapped y-you" he choked out. "I-I hit y-you" he cried. "I-I left you a-alone!" he sobbed as I continued to listen and silently walk closer.

['Cause you are, you are
The reason why I'm still hanging on]

Now the air filled with silence as the only thing you could hear was his soft cries and my labored and shaky breathing. It was as if we were both completely shattered and ruined. Ripped to shreds.

['Cause you are, you are
The reason why my head is still above water]

Slowly and silently I stood right behind him. Him standing right in the doorway facing the hall as I stood right behind him. None of us talking. Gently I wrapped my arms around his torso from behind and laid my head onto his back as I felt him tense up even more from my touch. Both of us still completely and utterly silent.

Moments passed as we just stood there in each others embrace basking into this moment as we both knew we knew the truth. Both of us loved each other unconditionally and would give their life to save the other.

[And if I could I'd get you the moon
I'd give it to you
And if death was coming for you
I'd give my life for you]

"I love you, Edward" I whispered breaking the silence as I knew he was now smiling. I didn't have to see him to know he was smiling because now, with his response, I just...knew it.

"I love you too, Mi amore"
