I shouldn't have made the jump. The consequences of my actions mocked me as I limped my way down the dark street.

There was no sign of life. The only noise illuminating from the near by bushes; she slinked across the pavement towards the white picket fence. I find myselfalmost drowningin apool of her green eyes, beautiful emerald orbs that glowin the dark.
She stares back at me and winks.

I cross the street as quickly as I possible can with hopes of disguarding myself from that murky old cat.

I hiss in pain at thesudden tingling sensation whichslivers it's wayup my injured leg. I didn't realize that I had stumbled into a puddle of rain water. On the floor the black tarmac glistened from thespit of last nights storm.I caught a small glimpse
of my reflection in the puddle and forced myself to look away from the coward starring back at me.

Just a phew more houses Edward, than you can sleep all you want.

When I stumbled through the front doorsof the four story home; darkness quickly eloped me in embrace. Something didn't feel right. Usually she would be here, waiting for me in her spot on the staircase. Not the fourthone from the bottombecause
that's where I smashed the head of Mike Newton on, or the third from the top because that's where she found me getting sucked off from Maria. No, her favorite spot on the staircase was the fifth from the bottom and the seventh from the top;where
I first kissed her.

But she was no where to be seen.

"I hope you fucking learnt your lesson," a high pitched voice snarls at me from the top of the staircase, "I hope she's halfway across the fucking Earth by now. I hope she sticks it to that blonde haired bimbo from Brazil and I hope she wins."

The small pixie slowly trudges down each stair never losing eye contact with me until she's standing right in front of me. Never in my eighteen years did I ever fear my sister more than I did at that moment.

"When Emmett finds out Edward, you'll look worse than you do right now and believe me,you look pretty fucking horrible."

She bumps my bad shoulder with her chest and slips out the front door. Thetires of the Volvoscreech and I watch as she speeds out of the perfect driveway and out of my life. Leaving me alone.

I shouldn't really complain. From day one this is what I wanted. I never asked for herto move here.I never asked for her to talk to me or evenlike me for that matter. I never asked for her to be my lab partner or for her to become bestieswith my
sister.I never asked for her to jump into bedwith me and I certainly never asked for her to love me. But fuck, I really needed her.

"Hey you've reached Bella Swanof EFG. I'm sorry I can't takeyour call personally but you can reach me by contacting my manager Renee Dawyer or my PA, Alice Cullen or leave a message after the beep-"

"Baby it's me,"I choke out and tumble to the woodenfloor in a heap of mess, "Bella you call me as soon as you get this baby, as soon as you get this... Please I just need to know that you're okay-"

Oh, if only myfather could see me now, grovelling and sobbing onthe floor like a child crying for a toy.

It's then that I notice that my eyes dropping and my fingers twitching. I feel myself lose control of my limbs and my body shaking uncontrollably. Drool finds its way out of my mouth and rolls down my chin. I feel myself swallowing my tongue and fearthat
all traces of oxygen has left my body.

But all I can remember is the first time I had seen her. Ironically; I regretthe day I had actually met her but I don't regret meeting her, if I hadn't I'd probably be six feet under,months ago.I only wish we had met under different circumstances
