There are some people in this world who know what they want from the moment they are born and then there are others who drift through life until they find a purpose. Leah Clearwater was the second type of person. She never truly felt like she had a purpose until she and Jacob Black got together. Most of her life she tried to be what people expected of her because she had no clue as to what she wanted to do with her life. Most people would have called her a free spirit and she was cool with that. It was better to be a free spirit than an uptight snob in her opinion.

Edward Cullen was one of the people who had always known what they wanted in life. He'd a set plan from the moment he was born or at least as long as he could remember. He would do well in school and eventually head off to medical school where he would study internal medicine before interning at the same hospital his father worked in Seattle. Then he would marry his high school sweetheart and have two kids. He had been absolutely sure of his plan and it almost happened the way he dreamed until it came to be the day of his wedding.

Everything that had been perfect to his knowledge, but apparently he had been wrong. Edward had been dating Bella Swan since they were freshmen in high school and at the age of 22 he had proposed to her. Two years later at the age of 24 he was he standing inside of the church waiting for his bride to be to walk down the aisle. He smiled at his parents before looking over to where the best man was supposed to be. Where was Jacob at? He should have been there twenty minutes ago and yet he was a no show. When Edward looked around he noticed that Leah was missing as well and he smirked thinking that they had decided on a closet quickie and that what was keeping his friend.

It was when Leah appeared at the back of the church with her makeup smeared and running down her cheeks that he knew something was wrong. She had a letter clutched in her hand the paper tearing slightly from the pressure of her fingers. The Quilette female motioned with her head for him to come to the back of the church. He quickly told his guest there was a delay, but that he would be back in a few moments. Trying to mask his fear he made his way to her and let himself be pulled in to an empty room.

"Leah what is wrong?" He asked taking her hands in his. "Where is Bella and why isn't Jacob here yet? The wedding should have started fifteen minutes ago."

Leah handed him and envelope that had yet to be open, but has his name scrawled across it in Bella's messy handwriting. "I assume it says basically the same thing that the one Jake left me said. There is no easy way to say this so I am just going to be blunt. We have dumped Cullen. I'll leave you read the letter and Alice and I will take care of the guests. Jasper and Emmett are waiting for you in the back to take you home. I'm sorry that this happened to you Cullen."

She was gone before he could reply and Edward wasn't sure why she had been so cold to him. Usually they were fine with each other because they had grown up as friends. What had she meant when she said they had been dumped? Where was Bella? She would never do this to him would she? Still feeling confused about the situation Edward tore open the envelope and pulled out a single slip of paper and the engagement ring he had given to Bella two years ago. He had saved for over a year for that ring.

My sweet Edward,

I wish that I could be telling this to your face, but I couldn't bear it. You know that I love you and I do not want you to doubt that. It's just that you know Jacob and I have always had this unexplainable connection. I really wanted to marry you and I was going to, but then I saw Jacob when he came to wish me luck and I realized that I couldn't do it. Don't blame Jacob for this. It was my idea to run off together. If you are going to be angry at someone then be angry at me. Take care of yourself and maybe one day you will find a woman worthy of wearing your ring. I will call you when we settle down to explain everything. I do love you Edward I just love him more.

Forever yours,

Bella

The handsome man with bronze hair fell to his knees as he finished the letter. He had always known Bella cared for Jacob, but if she hadn't been sure she could have picked any other day than their supposed to be wedding day. What was he supposed to do now? He'd had a plan and now that plan was shredded to bits. He could feel a scream break from the confines of his throat at he crumbled the paper in in his right fist. If Bella had truly loved him then she hadn't shown it. She had humiliated him and he was not sure if he would ever be able to recover. How do you repair your heart when you no longer have one?

TBC…

AN: So I had day surgery today and I got this as an idea for a story so I decided to write it. I know exactly what will happen and it will only be between 5 and 10 chapters. I know the introduction was short, but it explains why the story is going to be the way it is. I would love you hear your thoughts so please let me know and this is AH for those who are confused. I recommend listening to what goes around comes around by Justin Timberlake while reading this.
