"Carlisle!" Edward Cullen called upstairs, sounding as if he has just been running for an hour, if he was human "We have a problem down here!"
Carlisle sighed as he put the papers he was working on back down on the desk and slipped out of his seat. He made his way downstairs gracefully, pushing his hair out of his face on the way.
"Esme stop this silliness" a soft gaze up from the floor was all Carlisle needed to stop in his tracks. There Esme stood with her Bags by her side and a look of pure anger towards…him.
"Esme?" he asked softly "dear what's going on?"
"I'm leaving" her words cut through him like a hot knife "I'm sick of this life"
"Esme, d…darling w…what are you t…talking about?" he stuttered for the first time in almost 400 years. "w..why would you want…to leave?"
"I'm sick of it Carlisle. Everything. Your always working, the kids are always at school. I joined so I could be part of a family but it seems like I'm always at home and everyone else it out all the time"
Carlisle didn't know what to say anymore. He was standing there looking like an idiot as his wife got ready to leave.
"But…where will you go? Vampires aren't exactly welcome anywhere, and you cant marry a human"
"I've already found someone else" now those words really hurt "he's with The Volterra and he's promised to help me keep my diet"
There seemed to be nothing else to say. Carlisle watched as Esme picked up her bags and left the house, climbed into the blue Mercedes he had bought her a few years ago and drove off.
"Carlisle…" He turned o look at Alice weakly, not knowing what to say, or do. As a Vampire he couldn't cry no matter how much he wanted to.
"I…I need to go" he whispered, walking out the door and towards his Car
"Carlisle don't!" Edwards voice was just background music to Carlisle as he climbed into the Vehicle and started it. He laid his head on the steering wheel for a few seconds before setting the car into reverse, backing out of the lot, and speeding off.
