I walked down the path with Bella. We were about half way into the forest when she turned around and started to cry. In between a sob she said, "Edward. I am sorry but I don't belong in your world." I couldn't say anything due to how everything she said was true. Any moment Victoria could show up and kill her. If she never met me, nothing like this would have happened.

She gained enough air to add, "I know how you always told me this, but I guess it took almost being killed to realize this." She laughed then began to cry. I could only think how she almost died the moment we met, with James and how my family almost killed her yesterday.

Before I knew what happened, I was back home. Alice was waiting for me outside. She said how she already packed everything and we were all ready to go. I told her I couldn't stay, I needed to be alone for a while.
