Goodbye Bella
A fan-based continuation of the Twilight Saga...
Warning: The Author (me (: !) has pulled some very radical moves and introduced a lot of characters, if you can't stand to see Bella without Edward, here's your chance to stop reading because I've had some hate comments, just a warning but otherwise enjoyenjoyenjoy ! :)
Chapter One – Goodbye Love
"I'm sorry Bella," Edward murmured, "It's just not the same."
"What do you mean Edward?" Bella asked, "I know I'm not the same. I couldn't stay human. The Volturi were going to kill me."
"I know," He sighed, "But you always want to do the same thing… and, well, to be honest I never wanted you to be a vampire."
"Yeah, yeah," Bella groaned, "You told me a million times. Nobody understands how I could give away my life when they were forced to give up theirs. Well, that was my decision I made for both of us. Now we can be together forever and you don't need to lose me ever again."
"Uh," Edward stammered, "Something like that. I was sort of waiting for you to get older and you know… die."
He scratched his neck while Bella devoured this information. "What do you mean die?" She hissed, "That would mean we couldn't be together. And then if I died you said it yourself – you'd go and kill yourself!"
"Well, you see Bella," He explained, "That wasn't exactly true. I mean it was… in the beginning until you got all needy and pushy. You practically forced me to make you a vampire and I was in no hurry to spend an eternity with you."
Bella shook her head in disbelief, "Okay, you can stop joking Edward. It's not funny."
"Sorry Bella, I was never the comic type. I'm completely serious. I'm leaving. We're leaving. I can express how sorry I am. But I'm not happy here with you."
"What about Renesmee?"
"You may keep her. She rarely leaves your arms anyways."
"Well you seemed all up for it on Isle Esme." Bella snapped.
"Please Bella. Don't make this more difficult than it is. You can stay here with Charlie."
"Oh, I'm making this more difficult?" Bella shouted, "You wander into my life and practically EXUDE difficult! You're so thick you never listened to what I wanted and wouldn't let me go to La Push to see Jake for the longest time and - ."
"You want to see Jacob?" Edward snapped, "Be my guest! When Nessie's old enough to marry him, be sure to tell her how you made out with her husband!"
"Don't. Call. Her. Nessie." Bella fumed.
"Why not Bella? She's my child too if you had forgotten."
"I'll make a point of it."
"Fine. Goodbye Bella."
"Goodbye Edward. Have a nice eternity."
"You as well Bella."
They parted. Edward went back to the Cullen/Hale residence and Bella turned towards the main road. "Wait, Edward!" She yelled.
"Bella," Edward growled, "My mind is made up."
"You're so conceited," She scoffed, "Take this."
She hurled her wedding ring at such a speed it could fracture a human's skull. Edward caught it and chucked it into the woods with parallel strength. He then took his off and threw it in the opposite direction. Bella stormed off and Edward sighed. Thank goodness that's over he thought to himself. He entered his house and saw Alice reading. "Duck, Edward."
"What?" Edward asked, but before Alice could clarify, a ring shattered the window and ricocheted off of Edwards head. "Right," He chuckled, "I forgot there was the engagement ring too."
Alice sighed, "I'm going to miss her."
Edward sighed, "You'll get over her just like I did."
Emmett walked in just as Edward was picking up the shards of glass, "That'll bring down this place's selling price. What happened?"
"Funny, Emmett," Edward grumbled, "I just left Bella and she isn't being as mature as she ought to be about it."
"What?" Rosalie screeched, racing into the room, "What do you mean left Bella? What are the plans with Renesmee?"
"Rose," Alice sighed, "Won't you please pretend to care about Edwards's crisis before you obsess about Renesmee."
"She's going with Bella," Edward told her, "And don't worry about me, Alice. Bella's the one you should watch; her self control is a tad weak today."
"Fine" Alice shrugged, "Here, I'll help you fix that window."
Edward and Alice picked up the last few hunks of glass when Carlisle entered the room with Jasper under is arm. "We sold the place! Well, Jasper did. My, did his gifts come in handy with the couple that is buying this place. He just walked in the room and seconds later they were hooked."
Carlisle chuckled to himself and Jasper took in the window. "What happened here?" He asked.
"Bella," Alice and Emmett answered in unison.
A scowl clouded over his grin, "She didn't take the news well I see."
"You knew about this too?" Rosalie gasped, "Where is she now?"
"Charlie's," Alice answered vacantly, "She's packing and is going to Jacksonville with her mother."
With a whoosh, Rosalie had her silver cell phone out and dialed Bella's number. "Bella?" She plead, "Wait for me at Charlie's. I need to see you. No, he isn't coming," Rosalie shot Edward a dirty look and shot outside.
Edward shook his head and closed the door behind Rosalie. "We all know why she's going there."
The rest of them nodded. It was no secret that Rosalie had maternal instincts when it came to Edward and Bella's daughter Renesmee. Alice blanked out for a moment and gasped, "Emmett. She's not coming back."
Carlisle fumed, "Not without Renesmee I suppose. She needs to let Bella get on with her life. We can't have Bella guarding Renesmee from Rosalie's clutches for the rest of eternity. Emmett call her and order her to turn around this instant!"
"Not a chance," Emmett replied, "I've had enough of her and her vanity. Why can't chicks forget about their looks for just a second? As far as I'm concerned she can go with Bella all the way to Jacksonville."
A trace of a smirk crossed Edward's face. Jasper gazed at Alice and returned his gaze to his brothers, "But if either of them went out in the sun there they would be exposed" He reminded them of their tendency to glisten in sunlight. Edward shrugged and Emmett chortled, "They aren't our problems now."
Alice rolled her eyes and Jasper put a reassuring hand on her shoulder, "I'm in no hurry to get away from you, you know. Edward and Emmett are only masking their feelings. I would know."
She sniggered, "What were they feeling?"
"Emmett," Jasper explained, "Is actually pretty jealous of all the attention Renesmee was getting. And although Edward is relieved to be rid of Bella, his conscience is eating away at him. He shouldn't have said some things that he did."
"We'll have more than enough time to talk about this when we leave Forks." Carlisle interjected, "Whether Rosalie is coming with us or not. We need to pack and find a new residence. The hospital staff is getting suspicious of my age and we need to relocate."
The group broke off to gather their belongings and pile them into the enormous moving van that drove up. The Cullen's were officially leaving Forks.
