Prologue
That night changed everything. But the weird part is I'm not feeling anything about it. I don't feel jealousy, regret and lastly hatred. All I feel is emptiness coursing through my veins. Reminding me that once, this body was his; and that his body was once mine.
Staring out the window was Bella Swan and beside her was her best friend Alice. Who was worried sick about her best friend's welfare and how she's dealing with it. She never knew that her own brother would be the cause of her best friend's sadness. It made her hate him even more.
She felt guilty. If wasn't for her Bella wouldn't feel this way. She knew that this was bound to happen. But she thought that they can overcome it together. But the thing was the word together doesn't describe the two lonely individuals.
Edward on the other hand drowned himself in sorrow and regret. Knowing full well that if he listened to Emmett that night everything would change. But he thought that change was for the better. Instead it was for the worse, seeing that he was inside the house sulking in his room. He knew that he broke Bella's heart, but seeing her look at him like that made things even worse. Right now, not only was he feeling depress but he was also feeling lonely. But on the other hand, it was his fault in the first place that made things worse that it already is.
That moment was supposed to be filled with happiness not sorrow. But the turn of events changed everything. Rosalie moved out of the house, Edward locked himself up in his room, Jasper tried to comfort the depress Alice, Emmett was blaming himself too much for what happened and lastly Bella…Bella became empty. An empty body with no soul, letting herself wonder about without a care. She just went on with life like nothing happened.
Though life felt empty for her, she didn't care anymore. But unlike any teenager, Bella didn't drown herself in depression but instead she let herself drown in regret. Regret about meeting them, regret about loving him, regret about letting Alice dress her up for the party. And lastly regret about letting herself live for so long.
Bella left Alice alone and ran towards her truck. She started the engine in a hurry. She drove home as fast as she could so that she could start packing. Her flight would be tomorrow in the morning and surely she didn't want anyone to know about it. She wanted to leave in peace. She didn't want to bother Edward and his new girlfriend. As she reached her destination she ran up the stairs, opened her apartment door and closed the door and slid down against it letting herself get devoured by the emotions she wanted to avoid.
Bella stood up and started to pack her stuff to move to Seattle; to move far away from the pain. She went towards the bathroom to get her necessities first. She got her brush, toothbrush, toothpaste; strawberry scented shampoo and conditioner and lastly threw away all the lotions, shampoos, conditioners that Alice gave her. She made sure that nothing was left behind the bathroom and towards her room to pack everything else.
In the middle of packing her clothes, her cell phone rang. She looked at the caller I.D. to check who it was. Upon seeing Alice's name on the screen she got her cell phone and turned it of; knowing full well that she doesn't want any distractions stopping her from packing.
She was finish packing her clothes that she went towards her table to start packing her valuables. She got a medium sized messenger bag and placed it on the desk, ready to pack her valuables inside.
I was ready to pack the last of my belongings but even before starting to pack the last of them made me already regret this decision. I saw our picture lying on the table; smiling faces looked towards me with happiness filling their hearts,but knowing full well that, that moment will never happen again. I pasted the picture along with the rest that were pasted on the sides of her mirror. I gathered her books, wallet, planner, journal and lastly her necklace; the necklace that was given to her by her mother. I sighed when I saw my room finally empty and lied down on the bed; thinking that it would be the last time that I would be sleeping here. I closed my eyes and started remembering everything. From the day I first arrived here to the day I saw him hold another person in his arms.
