Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.
Some of what I will write in this story may be familiar to you; I have not copied any story, although I may have borrowed a few ideas from various fanfics that I have read in the last few weeks reading Twilight fanfics on the site. I would mail each author I have "borrowed" an idea from, but honestly, I can't remember the authors/fics, which I have read and used ideas from.
Let's get on with it then.
Bella POV
It's been 3 days since Edward left and all I have done is stay in my room and think about all the pain he and the rest of the Cullen's have done to me.
I need to get out of here for a while, I don't know where I'll go, It's just the whole town; Forks, reminds me of what Edward and I did together. I have filled up a box of everything he or the rest of his family gave to me in our short time together. Any pictures I have of Edward I have thrown in the bin, apart from one, I am going to keep the picture that was taken of us at prom. I have written on the back, "Remember the pain he caused you," just so I won't forget if I ever consider that maybe I was in the wrong or if I ever meet him again.
Alice is supposed to be my best friend and yet she didn't even say goodbye, not even a note to sorry they are leaving. I can understand why Jasper didn't come and say goodbye, we weren't exactly close and he would still have been recovering from smelling my blood. He has probably been feeding on deer ever since just to get the scent of my blood out of his system.
Then there is Rosalie and Emmett. Rosalie has always hated me. Ever since I came into their lives; I don't even understand why. I bet she started packing hers and Emmett's things as soon as Edward said, "we're leaving", not giving it a moment's thought how it would affect me. Emmett no doubt just went along with whatever Rosalie wanted as he wouldn't want to get in her bad books.
Edward. Where do I start? He has hurt me in so many ways and he doesn't even know it. Doesn't he even know I am more protected surrounded by the Cullen's? Especially with Alice around who can see what will be coming. Victoria and Laurent are still out there, Laurent I am ok with, sort of, because he did warned us a few months ago what Victoria and James were up to.
Victoria on the other hand is another matter. James was her mate and although the Cullen's destroyed him back in the ballet studio, when she can't find him, I'll be the first person she'll come after.
Carlisle and Esme would not have wanted to go, but Edward is their "son" and even if they don't like it, they would do anything for him and understand why he is leaving me.
I have written a letter to Dad explaining how after everything which has happened I need to sort my head out. I will leave it on the kitchen table, and he'll see when he gets back from work. He has been worried since Sam found me in the woods a few hours after Edward left, and I have been having nightmares, from which he's had to wake me up in the middle of the night to calm me down.
Before I leave Forks for a while, there is one more thing I have to do; go to the Cullen's house to dump what Edward gave to me. It will be hard for me to see the house, but it has to be done.
I have packed clothes, toiletries, money I have saved over the years and anything else I may need in my big rucksack that i'll take with me. Then I will grab the box with the stuff and put it in the seat next to me in my truck.
Pulling up to the house, I was overwhelmed with memories, of times when I was happy with Edward. Brushing away a tear from my eye I got out and opened the passenger door and lifted the box out. I dumped it on the Cullen's porch in front of their door so that if they ever do return, they won't miss it.
Walking back to the truck I felt like I just had to see the house one more time; lock it in my memory, as it's such a beautiful house.
I turned around, away from the house probably for the last time when I heard a twig snap.
"Well, look what we have here."
I turned around and in front of me were four people with red eyes staring back at me, smiling.
That's it for the first chapter, what do you think?
Just like to thank my friend Amy publicly for being my beta writer and amending any mistakes I made in the first draft.
