-CHAPTER ONE-
"So you're leaving me?" Sadness crept through my voice, and tears we bound to come next. I felt numb. I couldn't move. It was like my whole world had been turned completely upside down. The rain hit my face with force, realizing the mist had now become heavy rain falling from the sky, almost as if the sky was crying with me.
"Yes, Bella, I am tired of pretending to be someone I'm not. I'm not human. I can't be with you anymore. I'm sorry,"I stared at his dark eyes, realizing that he hadn't hunted this week. I swear i could stare straight into the very depths of his. Even though he claimed he didn't have one.
"You. Don't. Want. Me?" My voice breaking on the last word of my broken up sentence.
"No,"
"So, everything you've done to me, everything you've said to me, everything, all of it, was a lie?"I whispered, since I now felt so numb that it felt like I had no voice.
"No it was not a lie, I will always love you and have loved you, in a way. But I just can't do it anymore, Bella. I'm not going to pretend to be something I'm not anymore. It's not who I am. When I'm around you, I feel like I'm human when I'm not. And it's just not working for me. So I've got to escape it."
"Will you promise me something though? If it's not too much to ask?" He said, waiting for my reply.
"Anything."
"Promise not to do anything reckless and stupid?" He asked hesitantly. I nodded my head.
"And I'll promise you in return," I looked up to meet his eyes. "I promise this will be the last time you'll ever see me." My heart broke even more, if that was possible.
"Goodbye, Bella." He said finally. He turned to leave but I ran to him, clinging to his jacket desperately.
"Don't...leave...please," Stopping to emphasize each word, my voice breaking when I did. He gently pried my fingers from his jacket and put them at my sides, leaning in to plant a kiss on my forehead.
"Take care of yourself," and then he was gone.
He's gone.
He left,
I couldn't believe it. I ran after him. He was so fast, he seemed to just disappear from right before my eyes. It felt like I ran for my miles and miles. I continued until my legs gave out completely. I dropped to the ground sobbing. I didn't notice I was on the floor until the rain was pouring down, mourning with me. I didn't feel anything. It was like my whole body had been paralyzed and my heart had been ripped out of my chest. It hurt worse than when James had attacked me. Much worse. Physical pain and emotional pain were different. Physical can be healed through little time, and emotional ,ay never go away. Physically, my body had not been hurt, emotionally I had been damaged beyond repair. The whole life I had chosen, the family I had decided to join, my entire future crashed, and crumbled right before my eyes.
A cold hand on my cheek snapped me out of my depressing thoughts. I opened my puffy, bloodshot eyes to see a beautiful creature in front of me. I automatically knew he was a vampire, but he definitely wasn't "vegetarian". We stared each other in the eyes for a couple minutes, that seemed like forever.
"You look utterly delicious," He whispered in a eerie voice, then licked the outer shell of my ear, "and not just to eat." A wave of fear shuttered down my spine.
He tightened his grip on my arm while I screamed out for help. He then slammed my back against the nearest tree. I continued to screamed out, but this time in intense pain and displeasure. He started to rip of my clothes not even bothering to to unbutton or unzip them. He continued his ministrations of groping me until he forcefully entered me. This was a pain I have never felt before. I knew I could never get away. He was too strong, too fast. My whole body went limp at the thought. There was absolutely nothing I could do.
Nothing.
At all.
A few minutes went by and his thrust became quick and hard. I knew I would have bruises the next day...if I lived until then. He suddenly ended with a loud grunt. He pulled out of me, then I fell into darkness.
-CHAPTER TWO-
I woke to bright, summer light before my eyelids. I cracked my eyes open and I saw a familiar pair of golden eyes. I immediately rose, but was automatically disappointed when I saw that the vampire in front of me wasn't any of the Cullens.
This vampire had dark, but pale skin. He had brown eyes, angled features, full lips, and black curly hair. He had a friendly face that made me comfortable.
"I am so glad you are finally awake. I thought you would never wake up!" The vampire said, looking genuinely concerned.
"Where am I? Who are you?" I asked puzzled about how and why I am here.
"You're in my house in Portland, Oregon. Oh, and I am Jason Woodberry."
"Hi, I'm Bella Swan. Excuse my language, but...WHY THE HELL AM I HERE?"
"Wwweeelll, I was hunting in a small town, Forks, when I saw you all bloodied, battered, and unconscious in the woods. I chased of the vampire who raped you. I faked your death, and brought you here." He said in a calm voice, despite the tone I had with him earlier. He honestly reminded me of Carlisle.
"Oh." was all I could get out of my mouth as I remember I had been raped. I was heart-broken.
"I don't know how to tell you this, but…." Jason wringed his fingers together, took a deep breath, and finally said, "You're pregnant."
"No... .NO. This cannot be true." I thought this was a nightmare. I pinched myself, but nothing happened.
"I'm sorry to tell you this, but it is 100% true." Jason murmured quietly. "Do you want to abort it, or,"
I interrupted him before he continued, "NO," I sniffled, "I want to keep it." I whispered and I knew she could hear me loud and clear.
He put his arms around me and said, "I will be here for you. I promise I will never leave you."
And that is when I knew that everything will only get better from here.
-CHAPTER THREE-
Jason kept true to his promise, he never left me. He took care of me. He was my best friend and brother. He told me everything about him, and how he was changed. He was changed in 1992, when he was 19. He started the vegetarian because he didn't want to kill humans. I even trusted him enough to tell him about the Cullen's. It hurt, but it helped him understand. He taught me how to channel my emotions into writing and making music. We were making plans to make a music studio. He told me was good.
I was now two months pregnant and I looked like I was five months. I found out that I am having twins. A boy and a girl. Jason and I were both giddy with excitement when the doctor told us the news. Jason came up with a pretty good theory to explain why I look so big already. He said that because they are half vampire, it is causing to grow at an increased pace.
According to Jason's calculations, the babies should be here in two months. In that case, we started buying and preparing for them. We decided to buy everything now, because neither of us liked shopping much.
We also prepared for the birth. We got blood bags, morphine, other hospital utensils, and a syringe full of Jason's venom.
This was the first time I wished anyone of the Cullen's were here.
TWO MONTHS LATER-JANUARY 17 1:06 AM
I woke up to sharp pains in my abdomen and screamed. Jason was by my side in seconds.
"Bella, what's wrong? Are you in labor?" He asked frantically.
"Yes!" I panted.
He carried me to the room we had prepared for me to give birth. The pain was unbearable. I laid there in pain for hours. Then I felt my baby's tear their way out of my stomach.I was conscious long enough to see them and name them.
"What are their names, momma?" When Jason called me that my dying heart soared.
"Lillian Arianna Swan and Lucas Ariston Swan" I whispered as tears fell out of my eyes closed slowly and I knew I was being changed. This pain wasn't nearly as painful as giving birth.
ONE AND A HALF DAYS LATER
I opened my eyes and got up from the hospital bed I was in. I could hear and see everything. Jason was sitting in the corner with my two beautiful baby's.
"Guys, Momma's awake! Look!" he said to the babies. Then he looked at me and said, "Good morning Sleeping Beauty." Jason joked.
I laughed then gasp at the bell like sound that came out my mouth.
"I'm going to have to get used to that." I giggled, "Now, may I meet my children?"
"No, you need to hunt-" He started.
"Nope. I'll be fine, plus I don't feel a burn in my throat." I said firmly.
"Ok, I trust you." Jason said. Then he handed them to me. They were the most beautiful people I have ever both had my chocolate brown hair and green eyes with little golden flecks. A little bit of both edward and I.
This was the day I knew my heart was almost complete. The only piece it was missing was the Cullen's.
