Broken

Edward walked away, leaving me alone. I tried to run after him, hoping with all of my heart that he would change his mind. Pretty soon I couldn't see him anymore, and after a while everything started to look the same. I was lost in the woods, and in no hurry to be found.

The words that had come out of his perfect mouth had cut me deeply. The tone of his usually sweet, velvet voice had been colder, and sad.

"Bella, we're leaving." he'd said to me. When he'd said we, I thought he'd meant us. I was wrong, he didn't.

"I'm no good for you Bella." he'd told me. That wasn't true. Edward was the best thing that had ever happened to me. Edward staying was what's best for me, leaving me was what's worst.

"My world is not for you." he'd explained. I wanted to be a part of his world more than anything, and he knew that. But he thought it wasn't right to take my soul away. He just didn't get it. I want to be with him forever, and I'm willing to give up my soul in order to do that.

"Bella, I don't want you to come." he'd broken to me. Knowing that the one I loved didn't want me anymore was heartbreaking. I'd loved him more than anything in the world, and I thought he'd felt the same. Wrong again, Bella.

"It will be as if I never existed." he'd lied to me. Loving someone the way I loved Edward and then losing them is hard to forget. Just loving someone is hard to forget, especially when that someone, is Edward Cullen.

Edward had loved me with a passion I didn't even know existed, and I him. He'd looked at me like I was the most beautiful thing in the world, and I know I was to him, just as he was to me.

Edward had promised to love me forever, and he has forever. He'd promised to do anything to keep me safe, to protect me, and he can do anything. So why did he leave me? What did I do wrong to make him leave me so broken?

Tears were pouring down my face, my broken heart thumping loudly in my chest. Right now, more than ever, I wanted, no, I needed Edward. I needed Edward to come hug me and tell me that everything would be okay. I needed Edward to come and kiss me in that way that makes me feel as if we're going to be together forever. I needed Edward to come back and say he was sorry, and that he would never leave me again.

I looked around the cold, darkening forest, listening hopefully for even the smallest sign that Edward was still here. I saw nothing but the trees that had been around me before, everything the same. Edward wasn't here, and he wasn't coming back. So, I curled up on the ground and cried, feeling, once more, the beating of my broken heart.
