His old lover, Bella Swan, passed away around 14 years ago. He had loved her beyond anything he had know. His family and him moved across the US. to a small start in maryland. Edward tried to forget about Bella. His forgotten future with her, his love for her. Everything. He never thought he would never move from her.

Until he met you. You were working in a library, reading to the kids in the little kids corner. He watched you for a long time. You were similar to bella in the way you moved and talked. He blinked a couple times.

after awhile (a couple months) he worked up the courage to talk to you. You two hit it off, and started dating. A month or two you learned about him being a vampire. It freaked you out at first but you were ok with it.

Edward never told you about Bella. Not about his old life in Forks, Washington. Nothing.

until you find out. He's downstairs in the shared house his and his family share. You were peaking through things in his room. you knew it was wrong. but you'd been dating him for a year now, and wanted to know him more. He rarely brought you to his house.

you found an old scrapbook of him and another woman. kissing. holding hands. laying naked together. Because Edward never ages, you could only assume this was recent. You sat on his bed, head in hands
