Key: (BOLD + Italic is the Character's Inner Thoughts)

Alex POV

My ears were ringing (rather loudly might I add), as my brain tried to process Edward's words, he was a vampire....... I was skeptical at first, but the more I thought about it, the more it made sense, the (inhuman) golden eyes, our skin being the same temperature (ghost skin was ice cold, kind of like their hearts and lawyers), plus if ghosts could exist (I was living proof of that, well technically dead proof, but you get the idea), so could vampires and despite how bizarre it sounded, by the troubled looked in Edward's eyes I just knew it had to be true. 

I had been caught up in my thoughts (as usual) for so long that Edward had taken my silence as rejection and was slowly inching away from me. Before I knew what I was doing, my arm shot out and gripped his shoulder in an iron grip (and wooow, clearly he had been working out since I last saw him), and even though I knew he could easily over power me, he stayed in my arms (where I wanted him to be forever).

"Alex let me go, it's okay if you don't want me anymore, you're not obligated to do this," his words were very quiet and I had to lean in closer to him to hear them.

"Edward I'm not doing this because I have to, I....." I stopped to take a deep breath to think where I wanted to take this, and after a few (long) seconds I finally open them with a firm (like Edward's razor sharp jaw) look in my eyes, which I hope conveyed how serious I was at the moment, (hopefully it worked because I'm not used to being mean, like have you seen this face, I'm clearly the cute one in this relationship.......I mean friendship).

"Edward listen to me clearly, because if you don't I will get it tattooed on your forehead so you remember (I wasn't actually going to do that, but he didn't need to know that), you are my best friend (even though I wish we were more than that), and I don't care what you are, vampire, werewolf, fairy (imaging Edward in a pink frilly dress did not help my resolve in remaining serious), yeti or even if you were big foot. I wouldn't care, do you understand what I'm saying." He nodded and looked at me with a thankful look in his eyes. 

 "Now what do you say we blow this popsicle stand," he chuckled at me before turning serious. 

"You really want to leave this place and come with me? Can you even come with me? What happens if you leave? Are there consequences if you do? Will you disappear die? What if you-" I cut him off by putting my hand over his mouth to mute his blabbering (I mean can you believe that out of everyone in the world I fell for this guy). 

"Edward breath, and to answer your questions yes I really want to come with you, yes I can come with you, nothing will happen if I leave because I'm not bound to this place I just chose to stay here," (and to this day I still have no idea why, maybe it's because all the idiots that come here was entertaining).

I stopped for a minute and took a deep breath (I swear I had talked more today than the I had in the past 100 years). I continued after I had calmed myself down (which wasn't hard since I wasn't angry just frustrated with the man.... sorry vampire next to me). "No there are no consequences, no I will disappear unless I want to (which I definitely don't) and no I cannot die since I'm already dead (like seriously, this guy is who I chose to spend my forever with.... really past me you couldn't find anybody else!), relax Edward it's going to be just fine, but do YOU want me to come with you."

 As soon as I had finished my sentence I felt a sense of insecurity wash over me, was he just pretending that he wanted me? Did he actually miss me? What would I do if he left me? My head was starting to hurt as a billion thoughts were going through it. 

Suddenly I was ripped from my thoughts by graceful, long fingers tilting my chin up until I was face to face with my best friend (unfortunately.....yes I'm still bitter over the fact we aren't together, sue me.......actually don't, I don't think I can afford a lawyer right now).

I could see the anger in his eyes and immediately knew I was in trouble (sometimes I swear Edward would be the wife in our relationship, with him always lecturing me about not doing or saying stupid stuff, but we all know I'm never going to get a chance to know if that's true because he doesn't like me like that and it will never happen). 

I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little scared when Edward kept staring at me with that intense look on his face (he looked as if he was trying to solve the world's hardest math problem, which I don't know whether to be offended that he's comparing me to math (vomit) or flattered because he's trying so hard to understand me.......solve me like one of your math equations and all that).

Finally he must have found what he was looking for (God knows what that was), "Alex I would like nothing more in the world than for you to come back to Forks with me, and I am not doing this out of pity or obligation, I missed you and I want to have my best friend back, but I will only take you with me if you're one hundred percent certain, I don't want you to do something against your will and against your comfort."

 I was truly touched by his words and am pretty sure I fell in love with him all over again (and this just went to show that my Edward didn't change very much throughout the century we were apart, he was still humble, sweet, charming, handsome, loyal, smar-, okay I'll stop now). "Edward I would love nothing more (maybe a kiss) in this world than to go back to your home and meet your new family (hopefully my new in-laws soon) and stay with you for as long as you will have me (please let it be forever)."

 I said this with the most sincere voice I could muster, he looked at me (for some reason he does this a lot) and I held my breath (not that I needed to breathe) as I waited for his answer. I was caught off guard by him suddenly picking me up and spinning me around (I felt like I was going to throw up, but I resisted, because rule number 1 is never vomit on your crush, it will definitely ruin your chances with them).

When he finally put me down (and my head stopped spinning) he had the biggest grin on his face (it was his signature crooked grin that I loved and missed so much,......also I'm pretty sure I swooned). "Well I guess that means we're heading back to Forks, I can't wait to introduce you to my family, Carlisle and Esme will love you and so will Alice and Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper might be a bit harsh at the beginning, but they'll come around.......eventually." 

He had whispered the last part so that meant he didn't intend for me to hear, but I did and just ignored it, I would cross that bridge when I got to it, for now I'm going to happily stay on cloud 9 and soak up the joy Edward's presence brings me. "Well then I better start packing, never mind I'm all done, wow that was pretty fast are you sure I didn't break a world record or something."

Edward gave a little chuckle to this (and obviously this was meant to be a joke since I don't own any belongings, you know because I'm dead and you get the idea, but hey I got Edward to laugh which is rare so it was worth it). "Okay then off we go then," despite the nerves pooling in my stomach, I gripped Edward's hand tightly as we made our way out of the graveyard (or my self proclaimed prison as I liked to call it) and to our next adventure. 

We had no idea what life (or death) would throw at us (I swear life and death both have some serious anger issues, always throwing stuff at people), and honestly I didn't really care about the challenges that lay ahead of us because I knew that we could get through anything as long as we were together.

A/N: So Alex and Edward are FINALLY leaving the graveyard and are heading to Forks. Now I have a few questions, first of all who should Bella's love interest be, (a character from twilight or an Oc). Sorry because I literally have no idea what I'm doing. 

 Anyways I hope you enjoyed this chapter and comment what you think is gonna happen when Alex finally meets the Cullen's (Hint: there's gonna be a major surprise).
