Prologue

Edward Cullen

I sat watching as she lay there, in pain because of me. A pain, that no matter what I did for her, I could never stop it. I would never be able to stop it. I loved her, and I had caused her this pain. Because we hadn't known that I could have done this. I had damaged her and ended up having to do what I had to do, no matter what… I wasn't going to lose her. Even if I was causing her this pain, it was much better than losing her. I just hope she can forgive me. I hope one day that she can look back and be able to look at me, and be able to understand why I am putting her through what I am…. But I really cannot see that happening…. No matter how much she knows that I love her.
