"Edward?!" I yelled through the sobs wracking my body. I was alone. He was never coming back. I guess that I can't blame him for leaving me. I'm nothing special, a plain Jane. How long did I honestly think that Edw-he, would stay with me? He probably was on his way to find a more beautiful 'distraction' to take up all of his time-an eternity of it. Perhaps he had finally found his true mate. It hurt just to think his name now but it hurt worse to think that i might actually forget about him, his perfect face, the way he was always a gentleman, the love his family showed me, that final kiss. I knew i was wrong for him. The thought that haunts me the most is why? why did I fall in love with him? why didn't i avoid him like he told me to? Why did he lie to me about his feelings? But the worst question i had for him that, like the others, would never be answered: Why did he leave me unprotected when i needed him most?

"You...don't...want me?" i tried out the words, confused by the way they sounded, placed in that order.
"No."
I stared uncomprehending , into his eyes. He stared back without apology. his eyes were like topaz-hard and clear and very deep. i felt like i could see into them for miles and miles, yet nowhere in their bottomless depths could i see a contradiction to the word he'd spoken.
"take care of yourself," he breathed, cool against my skin.
There was a light, unnatural breeze. My eyes flashed open. The leaves on a small vine maple shuddered with the gentle wind of his passage.
He was gone.
