You know the saying ‘time heals all wounds,’ well whoever said it never met Bella Swan.

Three years, that’s how long it has been. Three years since everything fell apart. Three years since that horrible birthday party. The birthday party that changed everything. The day I tried to kill her.

I thought back over those three years as I watched Bella through the bookstore window where she worked.

We had all been excited, laughing as we watched Alice bounce around getting things ready. Bella and Edward coming in, him excited and her, not so much. I could feel she didn’t want to be there, but she also didn’t want to hurt Alice’s feelings. Alice giving her the present me, Emmett and Rosalie had got for her. I had drifted closer as she opened up Alice and Edward’s present, when it happened.

That one little drop of blood that had put me into a frenzy. Edward throwing her back into glass plates that cut her arm open. Emmett and Rose wrestling me outside, as I continued to try to get to her. Realizing what I had done and running.

Alice and I had left for Alaska that night; I could feel the disappointment coming off her.

Edward and the others arrived in Denali three days later. They were all disappointed; I felt it, no matter how hard they tried to hide it. We had stayed there for two months, and then moved to Montana.

The 4 months following our move, saw us all drifting apart. Carlisle and Esme tried to keep us together, but we just couldn’t make it work anymore. We all knew we had a home if we wanted to come back.

Edward left first, going back to Alaska. Emmett and Rose followed quickly after, going on a tour of the world for the millionth time. Alice and I were the last ones to leave, although not together.

When we moved we stayed in separate bedrooms. I hated knowing I had hurt and disappointed her. She felt guilty for feeling that way. Both of us realizing that we wanted different things. She wanted to research her family then go to college. I wanted to just get away, be away from people. So we split-up. I loved her, and she loved me, but we weren’t in love anymore.

I left, visiting Peter and Charlotte for awhile, slowly drifting around, and never staying in one place to long. Until the day I received the phone call that took me back home.

I was in Michigan, trying to decide where I wanted to go next, when Carlisle called. It seems Edward had met someone. She was a vampire and he wanted us to meet her. Carlisle and Esme didn’t want to go, but felt they needed to because he was their son. They had loved Bella and still did. It would be hard on them to see him with someone else. I wanted answers. Why had we rushed to save her from James? Why had he saved her from the van? Why had he kept me and Rose from killing her after? Why bring her into our lives at all, if he was going to just move on when someone who wasn’t as breakable came along?

I always thought Edward would give in and go back to Forks that he would last maybe a month, two at the most and go back to the one he loved. I always thought I would one day be able to apologize to her for what I had almost done. For scaring her and taking away everything she wanted.  Now I would never get the chance.

As I made my way through Canada, I came to the decision that I didn’t want to go to Alaska; I didn’t want answers from Edward. I wanted to make sure she was okay no one else could be bothered. If she was fine I would send her a note, not the best way to apologize, but it would be something, and then I would leave. If she wasn’t fine I would stay and watch over her, until she was, I owed her that much. I wouldn’t let her know I was there, but she would be protected.

When I first saw her again after 8 months of being gone I almost didn’t recognize her; if she hadn’t come out of Charlie’s house, I would have had to look twice. She had lost weight, didn’t look like she’d slept in months. Her feelings almost put me to my knees; there was so much pain, heartache, and loneliness. What had he done to her? What had we done to her?

How did you find TA? I learned about TA by scouring the internet for any and everything having to do with Twilight. Once I found TA I fell in love. It had everything I needed and more.

How did you start writing fan fiction? I started writing fan fiction after reading some of the ones posted on TA. I loved them. It gave me a chance to see the take on the Twilight relationships through others and then I found I wanted to try it out just to see what I could do. I started with a one-shot and then went from there. After reading about the Jasper/Bella pairing I realized how much I love the idea of them as a couple. So most of my stories have them together.
