Prologue
After that horrible night, locked up with him, all I could see were his white teeth, glistening in the lamplight. Now all I wanted to do was die. He would have killed me if he could, for I had done a terrible thing. I had betrayed him, and I couldn't take it back. I was vulnerable to the attacks.
I would pay.
"Bella! Wait up." I turned to see Alice rushing after me. I felt terrible. Did she know what I had done? Alice tossed away her black locks, as she gripped my arm. She gazed into my eyes, she knew.
"Bella, why? Why would you turn us against La Push like that? Bella, Edward says we must end our friendship. I am really sorry, but it's for the best."
I gasped, as my eyes filled with tears. Alice was my best friend. I was a fool. I was a coward. But Alice couldn't leave me. She was my best friend. She shook her head. "Oh, Bella. Why? You know you really hurt Edward. He won't forgive you."
I coughed, "Alice, no! I am sorry. Will you forgive me?" Alice glared. "No, Bella. You are a backstabber. We should have never met. You have to stay away from us." I felt the tears. Alice turned, and left me, crying in the hallway, wishing I hadn't done what I did.
Edward POV
I watched as Bella sobbed in the hallway by her locker. I was hurt, shocked. But I was relieved that Bella knew my situation. I couldn't believe she had done it. But of course Rosalie had no problem turning against her. But it had been harder for me. I couldn't bear not seeing her shining face, flushed. But I had strict orders to stay away from her. I could put my whole family in danger by being with her.
Bella. She was mostly the only thing I thought about these days. She had betrayed me, but I just wouldn't let go. Bella walked into our Biology class. I sighed. How was I going to face the one who had betrayed me? Bella looked different now. And it was my entire fault
