His One Mistake

"Bella, get in the car," Edward demanded, slapping his fist down on the shiny silver Volvo. His hard cold hand left a dent in the car, but he didn't even wince.

"No," I said as I dried my eyes on the sleeve on my ragged sweatshirt.

"We have to go," Edward said, with fear I had never heard in his voice. "Now."

"I can't. I can't leave him. I love him, Edward. I love him," I sobbed, running from the car.

"You can't love him, Bella. He's a dog," Edward yelled. "He lost his temper and almost killed you. I can't let you be around him any more. We have to go."

"No, no, no…" I sobbed covering my eyes with my hands. I was about to leave everything I knew and loved, except Edward.

"My only other choice is to kill him," Edward growled.

"NOOOOOO!" I sobbed as I fell to the ground, unable to hold my trembling body up any longer.

"Bella?" Edward said as he knelt down. I could hear the comfort in his otherwise harsh voice.

"Let's go," I said as I pushed myself up and into the car. I sobbed my heart out as I left Forks for good.
