Chapter 1
"Alice, you know I'm a horrible liar, you have to tell him," I said through my tears.
"Bells, I can't, he's one of my best friends. I can't do this to him!"
"Fine, then, if you really can't, give him this note…" I got a piece of paper from my notebook and wrote a little message for my love.
Edward,
I can't do this anymore. We have to break up. I'm sorry. It's time you find someone else. We both know I never deserved you.
Bella
The tears came harder as I wrote my name.
"Alice, promise me you'll give this to him. I can't be there, or everything will be ruined."
She looked at me sadly and said, "Bella, you know I can help you. It won't hurt if you have him with you. You can still love him"
"No, I have to, he worries too much. I can't let him suffer with me as I have to go through their divorce." I said in a quiet voice.
I woke up in a sweat, sitting up abruptly. Realizing it was only a dream, I started crying to myself again. Three months and the same dreams kept coming to me, about how I had hurt him so much. I couldn't bear it. But I must. It was for our own good. I lay back down and tried to get a few more hours of sleep. Hopefully, I thought to myself, that awful dream wouldn't come again.
Biology was my worst subject. Edward always made it much more fun, since we only watched movies in class. I gave that note to Alice just yesterday, and even though we weren't together, we were still lab partners. As class started and the teacher came to the front of the room to begin, I noticed he hadn't even come yet. Emmett and Rosalie were right next to our table.
"Hey, Emmett!
"What, Bella?!"
"Where is Edward?"
"Ohhh..." I knew he knew what I had done. "When Jasper and I left the dorm, he said he felt ill and stayed in bed today."
I woke again, the same horrible memories flooding back to me. I let out a faint scream. Alice was instantly at my side.
"The one about the note or biology?" She asked anxiously.
"Both," was all I could mutter.
"Bella, it's been three months! All you two have done is ignore each other! You have to do something; you obviously can't live without him."
I was crying again. "I know, Alice, but I can't have him go down with me."
"Bells, it'll be OK. Charlie told us everything is all right now; they aren't getting a divorce."
"I know, but I know he can't forgive me for what I've done."
"You'll never know unless you ask for forgiveness."
