Explanations

I can´t keep it secret any longer, I have to talk to her. How should I play games anymore? She needed to know!

I waited for her to awake. I watched her sleeping one more night. I was worried about her, how will she take it? Will she be broken hearted again? How could I leave her, even without Jacob to ease her?

Oh, Jake, how could we do this to her? I know he is waiting for me. For our departure, for starting a new life. But I can´t go without explaining everything to her.

In the morning her eyes started to flatter and she smiled at me when she found me sitting on her bed, close at her side. It made me sad to do what I had to do; I stroked her cheeks and smiled sadly.

"Bella" I said in a soft voice "I have to talk to you. And you won´t like what I have to say." She watched me a little bit afraid when I moved away to the armchair on the other side of the room. "Bella, I´m leaving" I paused for a few seconds "today"

She gasps "Why? I mean what happened? Where do we go?"

Oh god, I feared that this will happen "You do not understand, I said, I´m leaving. You´ll stay!"

She was on her feet and on my side in the same moment "What do you mean? Why should I stay, when you go away? Where do you want to go without me?"

I took a deep breath and leaded her back to the bed "Please sit down" I begged "I said, you won´t like this. I fell in love, that´s why I´m leaving and that´s why you will not be with me." Now it was out. I expected her to cry or to plead me not to go, instead she got furious. She shouted "Who is it? Do I know her? I´ll kill that bitch!"

"Ähm" I hesitated "it´s not a girl Bella. It´s Jacob!"

"What?" she asked "You didn´t liked him at all, I tried so hard to make you two a kind of friends but you never wanted to be with him. So tell me, how could you love him now?"

I was so glad that her voice was softer now. Maybe she wasn´t able to hate him, like she will do with anyone else I prefer her. I shrugged "You heard a lot of stories over imprinting on someone. Jake told you some of them while he hoped that you will be his mate. So, fate decided it should be me instead."

"So you´re in love with him, because he imprinted on you? That's not fair!" she whimpered out. "And what´s with me, what´s the plan for my future?" Now she finally started to cry, tears rolling over her face, I wanted to comfort her but I surely wasn´t the right one to help her in her sadness. "I don´t know what fate has planned for you. I´m so sorry Bella, I never thought it would end this way. Maybe, we can be friends again, someday"

She blinked away the tears in her eyes and winked at me "Tell Jacob that I hate this imprinting-shit and that I don´t want to lose my best friend and my now ex-boyfriend at the same time. You don´t have to leave, I understand that whether you nor he had the chance to resist!"

I smiled at her words "We need time to fit in this new life, but we´ll come back. I promise."

"Ed, c´mon we´ll miss the flight if you don´t hurry up!" Jake whispered from outside the window. If it will be possible my heart would skip a few beats when I hear his voice. I viewed Bella for a last time, put a soft kiss on her forehead and jumped out of the window. "I´m coming love!" I said cheerful.

Bella watched us from the window, she was depressed of losing us, but I was quite sure she was also glad that the two people she loved the most have found their soul mates. Or I hope she will be, someday.
