Alone Until I Found You Chapter 1

Bella and Aro

He left me. He left me standing in the forest alone. It hurt so much. I hate him for it, but I still love him. Not enough that I could ever get back with him, but enough to hate him even more for lying to me, and using me.

I sat on my bed, and cried for hours each night. Then in the morning, I would get up, and try to look normal, but I could tell by the glances that no amount of makeup could cover the constant red eyes.

A few months later, I met Jake. He helped. The crying got down to only a few hours every night, and was still going down. It reached only an hour about once a week, and I got happier. Then jake disappeared, and I was struggling again.

I was alone.
