A/N: This is my version of when Edward left Bella.
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, I wish I did but I don't.
We walked towards the trees. Something about Edwards actions made my stomach churn with uneasiness. He was distant and emotionless. I was so caught up in my thoughts of what was going on that I didn't even noticed that we had stopped walking.
Edward turned to me, his stony expression silenced me. He looked different. "Edward, are you okay?" I asked quietly. Something was wrong and I knew it.
He took a deep breath. Like he even needed it "We're leaving Bella." I knew that leaving was a an option that had to be taken sooner of later, but now, I thought we had a few more months, maybe even a year.
"Why now? Why not another…" I didn't even get to finish my sentence when he cut me off. "No Bella, now. Carlisle can only pass for 30 and he's claiming to be over that." Edward said to me. "We'd have to start over sooner or later anyway."
I stared at him confused. I thought the idea of the Cullen's living here was to live in piece. I replayed his reply in my head and a wave of nausea swept over me. "E-Edward, when your say we.." I mumbled.
"I mean me and my family." He said each word, cold and icily. "Okay. I-I'll come with you. L-Let me say goodbye to Charlie and pack some clothes." I said making to run back to the house.
"No Bella. Where we're going, it's not for you." He said. I looked up at him and then I noticed he wasn't even looking at me. He was staring at the ground.
"B-but.." I started to object but was cut off by Edward once again. "Your not good for me Bella." He said flatly. His words tore through my heart and shattered it. I knew I wasn't good enough for him. I'd been telling myself over and over again since the day I met him, but for him to say it, it made it seem so realistic.
I opened my mouth to speak but just closed it again. Edward stared at me expectantly but after seeing I was making no choice to speak he spoke instead. "It'll be as if we never existed. You're a human, you'll get over it." he said coldly. I felt my eyes sting with tears that threatened to spill. I looked down.
"Bella?" He said. I didn't even look at him when I replied. "Yeah?"
"Can you promise me something?" He asked. I was silent for what felt like forever.
"Yeah." I mumbled quietly, though I knew he'd hear me.
"Don't do anything foolish or dangerous. Take care of yourself for Charlie. He loves you and needs you." He said. I looked up into his eyes. The were cold and flat. No emotions behind those topaz eyes that I used to love so much.
"Whatever." I said coldly. There was no point trying to be nice and hold my emotions in longer. He hurt me, he still is hurting me. "Bella, I'll make you a promise in return. This will be the last you ever see me or hear from me." He said before turning and running.
I ran after him, though it was no use, I knew he was gone. Gone forever. I felt my knees buckle beneath me and I cried the tears that I held. I closed my eyes tightly and just laid on the hard, damp forest floor crying. Suddenly it started raining and I felt all the emotions I felt wash away with every tear and rain drop. I was soaked to the bones and I didn't care. Nothing in the world would make me care anymore. My heart was broken by the family I thought as my own and by the guy who was, no is my true love.
It felt like hours, and the rain was holding up steadily. But that didn't make me want to get up and go home. My eyes were starting to feel heavy as sleep and darkness tried to engulf me. I tried to stay awake, but I felt no need to so I let it.
I opened my eyes groggily to see a tall figure standing over me. "E-Edward?" I croaked hopefully. "No Bella. My name is Sam. Your dad sent us out looking for you." He said softly, as he bent down next to me. I just closed my eyes again waiting for the darkness to come again, but it didn't. I only felt strong arms pick me up and hold me protectively.
"Guys! I've found her!" Sam shouted out to the other guys who were looking for me. I lay still when Sam tightened his grip on me and it then I noticed that I had been shaking from the freezing cold and rain that had wrapped itself around like tightly.
"Bella? Bella!" Charlie shouted. I opened my eyes slightly and saw the worried look on Charlie's face. "Charlie we better get her back. I think she could have pneumonia." Sam said to Charlie. I barely registered what happened after that because I woke up in my bed with blankets and towels wrapped around me.
Voices could be heard downstairs have hushed conversations, yet I could still hear them. "So they really left?" Charlie asked. An unfamiliar voice replied so I kept quiet. "Yes. Carlisle handed his notice in about a week ago. We'll be sad to see him leave." The voice, I now knew to be a males because it was too deep to be a females. "Well I should leave. Please call and let me know if her condition worsens." The man said. "Okay. Thank you Dr Gerandy." Charlie said. I heard the door close before more conversations were started.
Shortly after all the extra voices were gone and it was silent again, except for the sound of Charlie's footsteps walking upstairs. I quickly closed my eyes when he opened my door, before closing it again. I went to sleep again, but was awoken abruptly by the horrible dream that made me relive those hours I spent in the woods. I woke up screaming and Charlie came rushing in to see what was wrong.
"Oh Bells." He said when he saw my pale, tear stained face. He came and hugged me, I just sat there still. Not registering anything but the fact that the Cullen's were gone and I would never see then again. Charlie stayed with me that night. He was asleep soon after he came in, but I stayed awake, too scared to sleep.
