Forever
Dusk

This is my version of what happens right after Edward leaves Bella in New Moon. This is the first time that I have ever published anything so feel free to tell me how I can improve my writing. Hopefully someone out there will like this. Enjoy!
One
Edward. He was my life and I had no idea what was going to happen. How could he just leave me? This wasn't going to make anything any better. It would just make this even more excruciating for the both of us.
I looked off into the distance where Edward had disappeared. There was no sign of him, just the presence of his absence. I didn't know what I should do. Then I fell to the supple ground and laid there crying. Soon enough I had drifted into the only thing that was better than reality, my dreams. They weren't like the normal ones that I had experienced. These were ones repeating Edward leaving. It was as if someone had recorded the scene that had just taken place and had it on the repeat cycle.
I swiftly awoke about an hour later and I could see that the sun was beginning to set. Dusk, this was how I was to remember the moment that my life had been turned upside down. I rose to my feet and looked down at my clock. I still had enough time before Charlie would return home after his day at work. I approached the house trying to remain calm. I could do this.
I went into the kitchen and grabbed the pen and pad of paper.
Dad,
I'm upstairs sleeping. I think I might have come down with a cold or something. Don't worry; I've already taken some medicine. The leftovers are in the fridge or you could order a pizza.
Bella
I left the note on the counter, hoping he wouldn't try to wake me, since I wouldn't be there. I had to leave and go to the Cullen's house. Maybe someone would still be there.
I looked at the clock once more. I still had plenty of time to call a cab before Charlie's arrival. I was about to pick up the telephoned when everything came into realization. What if the Cullens' are already gone? What if I never see Edward again?
I collapsed onto the hard floor and went into hysterics. "I can't do this right now," I thought to myself. "I just have to hold myself together and get to the Cullen's house before nightfall."
I wiped the tears that had saturated my face and took a deep breath. "Inhale and exhale. Just take one step at a time," I repeated to myself. I called the cab company and told them to pick me up at my house.
My feet moved towards the door and weren't in sync with my body. I waited on the porch swing, moving back and forth trying to sort out all of the thoughts running so carelessly throughout my head. I could hear a vehicle approaching and I stood to look down the street. Good it was just the cab and Charlie was no where in sight.
