The Letter

I stared at the note. Written in her clumsy scrawl, the ink smudged by tears, there was no doubt in my mind that it from my sweet angel. The words on the page broke my already shattered heart into thousands of splinters. I looked up to see my family gazing at me with looks of both pity and fierce determination. I glanced back at the letter and ripped off the last sentence. The rest of the letter landed in the drain, the water destroying it and the words of my angel.
We were running to Forks, running to find her, only stopping to hunt. We had been in Minnesota when Tanya had arrived, giving us Bella's note herself. She had left after, not wanting to be away from her coven in Denali for too long. I didn't like Tanya, but I was eternally grateful to her for sending it. She gave me the excuse to come back and find Bella again, make the lie I had uttered right again. I had wanted her to live a normal, human life, but now I couldn't stay away. It had only been a matter of time before I returned anyway, and this made me run all the faster.
I listened to my family's thoughts as we ran through the Bitterroot Mountains of Montana, just a state away from her. Rosalie was thinking of her own past, and although she disliked Bella, she was fervently praying that nothing like that had happened, that Bella was fine. Listening to her thinking about that possibility had anger raging through me, so strong it was all consuming until I felt a wave of calm brush over me courtesy of Jasper.
He was thinking of her Birthday, the day I had made the decision for us to leave, and he was overcome with guilt. I looked over at him and shook my head, telling him it wasn't his fault. It had been mine. All of this was my fault, and I couldn't see how I would ever be forgiven. I listened to Alice as she looked for possible futures concerning Bella. She couldn't see anything, and that scared her. Her thoughts were frantic, and I tuned them out as soon as I could. I didn't want to hear her think it. I couldn't hear her think that thought. If I did I would break. Emmett was thinking of Bella too, the girl he considered his little sister, even though he had only known her for a few months. His thoughts were going over the various methods to hurt anyone who had harmed Bella, going into graphic detail of every one. Esme and Carlisle, the parental figures of our family, were thinking about her also. They considered her a daughter, a part of the family, one of us. I knew that and I took us all away from her, making my family depressed and leaving Bella broken.
I ran faster, my family with me. We had crossed the border into Washington State. A few hours, that's all it would take to reach Forks.
There we will find her.
Yay! New story! Ok, so the first three chapters of this may also become my english coursework, but I wanted to post it on here so here it is. Have fun. Please tell me what you think, even if you think its a load of rubbish.
