"You don't want me?" Bella asked, her voice was trembling.
"No, Bella. I don't want you. I don't love you." he saw the pain he had just caused her. He felt bad for her but he needed to go before he gave in to her stupid human ways.
"You don't love me anymore?" asked Bella, practically in tears.
"No." I love someone else. He thought, although a part of him still loved her. "I can't keep doing this to you. It hurts me, and I'm hurting you. It's better this way. Trust me, it'll be as if I never existed." Edward added. He thought telling her 'the truth' would be better, it'd be over quickly, just like ripping off a band-aid. He quickly turned on his heel and started walking away.
"No Edward!" she yelled at him as she tried to run after him, but he was just too fast. In a matter of seconds he was already out of the forest and her cries had began to be muffled by the many sounds of the outdoors.
Hours had passed before Bella was found. She had been walking around in circles for an hour or so before passing out on the cold, wet, forest floor. Sam Uley found her a few hours after a search had been called. As he carried her back to her house she started to wake up. She could see everyone gathered around. She held on to Sam. He was really hot, temperature-wise, and warmed her frozen body in a matter of minutes.
For the next few months Bella became catatonic. She didn't care about anything, all she did was sit in a rocking chair in her bedroom and stared out the window. She watched the children run from house to house for Halloween candy and to sing Christmas carols. At night, her sleep was infested with terrible nightmares that caused her to scream as if she was going into labor. Her father worried about her and tried to get medical help. Bella refused any professional and medical help because none of the doctors had gold eyes and pale sparkling skin.
