3 Years: A Deleted Story from New Moon

Edward

It had been three years since I had left Bella Swan; the girl whom I thought was my love forever. There had been a misfortune with her birthday. Jasper just about killed her when she got a paper cut on a piece of wrapping paper. As if it wasn't hard enough to defy her by the aroma of her blood… After all, Jasper was the newest vamp in the family. I had confronted her shortly after this episode, and after a lot of thinking, had broken it off between us two. It certainly wasn't something I wanted to do; I had waited so long for her, as I told her before when I first realized I was in love with her. So after this, my family packed up and moved, far away from Bella to protect her and her friends and family. I can only imagine what her father, Charlie, must want to do to me now. As you may already know, he's the chief of police, so I guess it's better for me that I left, or else he would have found some possible way to kill me. Yes, I am immortal, but knowing Charlie, he would find a way to kill me. No wait, not only kill me, slaughter me. I most positively won't forget the look on her face when I told her that I was going away. Of course that filthy mutt had to come in after I had told her this news, I'm sure that just gave him the warm and fuzzies. You know how the werewolves are just so close to us, or how they refer to us as bloodsuckers. Great, now they are going to try to kill me now, too. I'm sure you are probably wondering why I left her and yes, you probably are mad at me. Think of it this way, would you rather have Bella dead, or have her safe and still be alive so she can find someone who doesn't have the urge to kill her every time they come within 3 feet of her. Speaking of that, I wonder if she has moved on from me. She must have found someone…

Bella

It had been 3 years since Edward Cullen had left me. Yes, Edward the man who had told me numerous times he would never leave me. Who had told me so many times over that he would stay with me forever. I was deeply in love with Edward, as he was with me, not to sound cocky or anything. But, since then, I had gotten over him, and moved on to someone else. Someone new, who doesn't leave me because his freaky vampire brother attacked me because of a paper cut. His name is Caleb. You may be thinking, are you crazy? Who is this Caleb kid? How can you go to someone as gorgeous as Edward Cullen, to whoever this Caleb is? I ask myself that question all of the time. You know what my answer to that is? Well, I don't really have an answer I just thought that would sound cool. Okay, he isn't better than Edward. No one is, don't judge me. The truth is, I'm over Edward, and that's it. End of story. Anyways, Caleb is just as much of a gentleman as Edward was, and he is very handsome. Not beautiful like Edward was, he doesn't sparkle or anything. But then again, Caleb isn't a vampire who drinks blood and can't kiss me with as much passion as he would like to because he is afraid he'll hurt me. God, now that I don't miss about Edward. Not that I miss anything about him, but if I did, I wouldn't miss the whole, holding back thing whenever he tried to kiss me. So for prom, and yes I did go to prom without a huge bulky cast on my leg, he was so sweet. He got us a reservation at this really nice restaurant and guess what the bill was just for the two of us? $123 not including tax! Now that's a man who cares for his girlfriend. Oh gosh, now I'm starting to sound like, well…. Er……. Never mind. Okay I admit it, I do miss him. I think about him all the time…
