Chapter 1: How Did I Miss That?

Stupid, stupid Bella, I thought. I was trying to come to my senses that I loved Jacob and not Edward. After saving Edward from the Volturi, I couldn't look at him the same way, knowing that he left me. I stopped feeling a tingly inside when I saw him. I stopped blushing and my heart stopped trying to pump its way out of my chest whenever I saw him. I realized I didn't love him anymore. I had to tell him that Jake and I had a bond that couldn't be broken. I had to tell him I didn't want him anymore. I never thought that I would be letting Edward go, but Jacob and I had something special, more special that what Edward and I had. So today I was going to tell Edward that I didn't' want him anymore.

I hopped out of my truck and walked up to the Cullen's front door. I was about to knock, but the door pulled open, Alice standing behind it. Of course Alice would know I was coming, I thought. I stared at her for a moment, thinking that this may be the last time I get to see her. I didn't know what would happen after I broke it off with Edward. Would they stay here in Forks still? Or would they move someplace else? Either way, I hoped that Alice and I could still be friends.

"He's not too happy at the moment." She said.

So he must already know. Alice would've had a vision of this. And then Edward would've read her mind. I didn't know how I felt about that. I was a little relieved. At least it might be easier, now that he already knew.

"I'm so sorry Alice. It's just that when he left me, Jake and I created a bond. And I fell in love with him. Please don't be mad Alice."

"I'm not mad Bella. I knew that there was a possibility that when he left you, you would find someone else."

"Thanks Alice. Well, I'd better go and talk to him"

I slid my way past Alice. I walked up the stairs, feeling nervous the whole way there. Why was I so nervous? After breaking it off with Edward, could be with Jacob. I let that thought lead me to the door at the end of the hall. The door was open, so I stepped in and came face to face with Edward.
