Bella's Point Of View
My fingers trembled as I dialed the all too familiar number, I had been thinking about calling him, hearing his voice pleading him to come back. For weeks I'd dialed the number and quickly hung up but today I was being brave I would hear his voice for real, not just in my head.
I lifted the receiver to my ear a
listened. One, two, three rings then silence and BEEP!
I chocked
back a sob and the words I had only dreamt of speaking flew from my
lips.
"Was it all a lie? The smiles, laughs, hugs, the gentle touches and kisses, where the special moments only a part of the charade? A tool to keep me pacified until you decided that you were bored, till you had enough? Did you ever once stop to think about anybody besides yourself? No probably not. Do you know what hurts worse than the fact that I had actually allowed myself to believe that someone as perfect as you could love someone as human as me? Is that fact that I still love you, me the shell of a human Bella Swan still loves the selfish vampire that played her for his amusement. I. Still. Love. You. I don't know why I called to be honest this will probably only re-punch the gaping hole in my chest, and make you laugh. I'm sorry to bother you good bye Mr. Cullen."
I hung up the phone with a click and slid down the wall in my kitchen allowing my grief to completely over take me. How I hoped I could just un-send that message. It would only make him want to stay away from me more. I was so stupid how could I ever possibly think that calling…him...would make anything any better. I giggled hysterically to myself, so stupid.
I heard Charlie's cruiser pull up in the drive so I jumped to my feet and quickly stumbled my way up the stairs to my room. Charlie was such a good father he didn't deserve to see me like this so I locked myself in my room so I the only one hurting would be me.
Edward's Point Of View
I returned home from my solo hunting trip, made at Carlisle's request, it felt unnecessary for me because I simply wanted to waste away. I was nothing without…her… nothing but a shell of a vampire.
I slowly trudged my way up the stairs to my room, dragging my feet all the way. When I finally got to my room I noticed my cell phone was blinking the New Message light so I grudgingly picked up the phone to see which of my siblings left me another ridiculous message telling me to move on. But when I open it the message was from a blocked number.
Probably a wrong number, so I pressed the button to listen to the message of the stupid person who dialed the wrong number only to hear,
"Was it all a lie? The smiles, laughs, hugs, the gentle touches and kisses, where the special moments only a part of the charade? A tool to keep me pacified until you decided that you were bored, till you had enough? Did you ever once stop to think about anybody besides yourself? No probably not.

BELLA….realization dawned on me and a strangled sob erupted from my chest and before I knew what I was doing I was running towards Forks, Washington.
