Prologue
He left.
I knew the end was here the moment Jasper's desperately ravenous eyes fell on my bleeding arm. Edward, above all else, would protect me with all of his fragile might. He had the power to dent cement, crush granite as if it were nothing, and fissure the ground. All this was nothing in the face of my love. How could I not predict his misguided efforts to save me from further danger? He'd been my life for the few months we spent together. We spent nearly every free waking moment sharing our thoughts, quirks, and past lives. I knew how he thought and he was entirely predictable.
"You're not good for me"
Those were the words he left me with. The fool. As if I couldn't read his thoughts and intentions even without the powers his family was gifted with. So why did I let him leave?
I knew, despite any of my protests, he would go. He could disappear in the blink of an eye, without warning and that was more frightening to me than any of the falsities he spewed with each passing minute. I allowed myself these last few minutes with him. I played along with his charade, though my heartbreak was as real as the rain pounding down on us. He was leaving for good. The thought of spending years on end without him nearly broke me. I plastered on a false smile for his sake and held out my arms for our last hug.
I stepped into his arms and closed my eyes to savor this last moment. Both he and I knew that there would never be another for either of us. The rough texture of his jacket beneath my fingertips, how he fit perfectly in my arms, and his strange but pleasant fragrance were embedded into my body's memory. It would have to be enough. I wandered through the forest with that thought in mind.
He asked me to take care of myself. I promised myself I'd show him an even better Bella than the one he'd known. Not for revenge. No, this was for both me and him. We needed this tribute to show the world our love was not a mistake, a waste. I would live on with the memories and stretch them to the ends of my fleeting human life.
Or so I had planned. I should know by now that things never go the way I plan. How was I to know that my life as a human would end the next day? I tried. I really did.
