Alex POV

I couldn't tear my eyes away from the look on Edward's face, it was so hopeful, so beautiful, Victoria and I had been trying for the past 50 years to find a way to change me back to a human, year after year she would come to me with new ideas, new books with different methods, and none of them had worked, why would this year be any different.

I almost walked out of the room, but before I could do anything Edward voice rang out in the room, "Alex come with me, we need to talk," I gulped at the dark look in his eyes and silently followed him out of the room. We walked to his room in silence, when we walked inside Edward closed the door and walked towards me slowly.

He pushed me against the bookcase and kissed me hard. I closed my eyes and lost myself to the feeling of his lips on mine, thank god we didn't need to breathe or else I would be losing oxygen fast if he kept kissing me like this. I felt like I was drowning in liquid euphoria, my head was all fuzzy and my body felt like it was on fire, especially my waist where Edward had gently placed his hand when he had pushed me earlier, his other hand was playing with the hairs on the nape of my neck.

Eventually like all good things the kiss came to an end much to my disappointment (and I'm sure yours's as well). "I wish I could change the way you see yourself." I was utterly confused by Edward's words and I think he realized that because he held a finger up to tell me he wasn't done yet. "What I mean is that no matter what your form, race, gender or sexuality is I will always love you, because your heart makes you Alex, nothing else.

I was silent for a minute taking his words in, Edward had always been there for me when I was upset or unsure, and sometimes I didn't feel as if I deserved him or his kind words. I hadn't realized that I had started crying or becoming more solid until I felt Edward's warm hands cupping my face wiping my tears.

"Promise you won't leave me if this doesn't work, please Edward promise me." I know I was begging and probably looked pathetic, but at this point I didn't really care anymore. "I swear on my love for you that I would never leave you for as long as I exist." I surged forward and kissed him again (I really couldn't resist, especially after that confession).

"Together," I nodded at Edward and laced our hands together and we went back downstairs. My steps felt lighter and I felt as if I could breathe a little easier for some reason, maybe it was because I had finally gotten a huge weight off my chest, I liked that it helped me feel more carefree now.

Victoria and Carlisle were in a deep conversation in his study while everyone else seemed to have disappeared, probably to drop the humans back home. So I just dragged Edward back to his room and we spent the night whispering random things to each other while trading some sweet kisses.

Milo POV

Alice and Emmett dropped the Swans off first, then Archie, finally I was dropped off (I really didn't wanna go back home, but I don't exactly have many options). I sighed as I opened the door as quietly as I could, which was pretty quiet after years of practice and silently walked past the living room where my mom was passed out drunk and high.

Once I was in my room I decided to lie down for a while and practice being a rock, but like most of my plans this one was interrupting by the suspicious looking letter on my bed that had the most posh looking wax seal and writing I had ever seen. I cautiously walked towards it and picked it up, I inspected it for a minute before using a butter knife to cut the seal open.

Now at this point I wasn't so sure I wanted to know what was inside it, but I pushed those thoughts towards the back of my mind and pulled out the paper and started reading it. I had read the letter about three times before the shock started settling in, I didn't know who wrote this, but whoever it was knew too much, I picked the envelope up and shook it until multiple pictures came out.

They showed a younger version of my mother in a wedding dress with some man who looked a lot like me, the next showed her pregnant with the same man holding her by the waist, the next few pictures showed my mother in various clubs with different men. I picked up the first picture again with shaking hands and walked towards the full length mirror in my room.

I held the picture up near my face and compared our faces, I always wondered what my father looked like, my mother made it a point to always remind me that she couldn't bear to look at me since I looked just like him. I put the pictures away and lay down again, my mind was working a million miles a minute, all previous thoughts of rest gone, what did all this mean, why now?

I decided to distract myself from going crazy by going to the kitchen and starting dinner, but that didn't last long and mind started wondering off again. The next few hours seemed to pass in a blur and if you asked me to recount them I wouldn't have a clue, I felt as if I was far away and my body wasn't mine, one moment I was making dinner and the next I seemed to be in bedroom in my pajama's getting ready to sleep.

I could feel anxiety brewing inside me, my eyes were filling with tears and before I knew it my face was pressed into my pillow trying to muffle my cries. I couldn't stop the sobs from escaping, no matter how hard I tried my mind kept digging up memories I had tried so hard to forget. I could feel myself having a panic attack, so I tried to copy the breathing technique I had learnt from an old health textbook.

For the first time in 3 years I let myself go, I let myself feel instead bottling it all up. Once my cries that stopped I felt better, I had finally reached my breaking point and was left with no more tears to cry. I decided to get up and wash my face to remove any traces of what had occurred minutes ago and then quietly slipped under the covers to a dreamless sleep, which I was very thankful for.
