so, anyway. I really liked my April Fool's Day story. I missed Christmas (and various other holidays since april) but I thought I'd write a New Year's fanfic.
1. I don't have any clue where/if this would fit in chronologically in the series. I just wrote it on/for New Year's
2. It's not that good. I wrote it tonight and posted it only minutes later. I appreciate typos being pointed out to me, but please don't think that I am someone who doesn't care for grammar!
3. It's also quite late at night so if something doesn't make sense....
All reviews are appreciated!!!
P.S. The first is Edwards POV and the second is Bella's. i feel sure you would have figured this out, but just in case!

Endings
I lay in darkness of the house, just listening to her breathe. We’d visited her mother for Christmas and had just gotten home this morning after a red eye flight home. She’d been up all day, so when Charlie suggested they celebrate early, watching the ball drop in New York rather than counting down with Seattle, she’d agreed. As for me, Charlie thought I was shooting fireworks behind my house with my family. But I wasn’t. I was lying on the bed next to his daughter. Thinking.
If she had her way, and she would, this would stop completely. I would still lie awake at night. For our kind there’s no other way to lie awake. But she’d lie awake with me.
Oh, how I’ll love it. I’ll be there to help her through the tough time at the beginning. I’ll hold her when she makes her first mistake. I’ll talk with her constantly, and we’ll finish each others sentences—like we can read each others minds.
But I’ll miss this in a way. I can barely remember being mortal. That time of my life is blurry and distant. But when I’m with her… everything is more real. Running through the woods was just running. I didn’t have to notice anything around me until I had her with me. I haven’t even thought about tasting food in years, but yesterday I happened to notice the expression on her face when she bit into a piece of pizza.
There are so many mixed emotions surrounding the idea of changing her.
She wants me to so she can be with me forever.
I want to so that she can be with me forever.
Alice has seen it.
She will live forever…
But deep down I can see it for what it is: An Ending.

Beginnings
On New Year’s Eve I looked at Charlie, really looked at him. And he was old.
How much it hurts me, I thought, to see my father grow old while I’m young. But after a moment, I realized I should get used to it. In a few months I’d be a vampire, and I would watch everyone – every human – that I’d ever known grow older. They’d die and I wouldn’t.
I slipped away to my room to think about it, just in case I slipped up and cried. I had no doubt in my mind that this was what I wanted, but suddenly I saw a glimpse of why they all cautioned against it. I loved the Cullens, and already thought of them as family, but soon enough they’d be the only family I truly had. The only ones I could rely on.
Edward was gone right then, hunting I thought, but he’d be back soon. And he’d stay forever. I smiled to myself at that thought.
When Edward returned I snuggled into his chest, listening to the silence left by his heart. I knew that the thump wouldn’t be there, but it was still unfamiliar to me. When I felt that silence in my chest, no matter how Edward agonized over it, I knew what it would be: A Beginning.
