~Where the heart goes~
Bella's POV
"What do you mean you're leaving Edward?" I was having a hard time concentrating through the buzzing in my brain.
"I'm sorry Bella this just isn't working" I was having a difficult time listening to his voice above the sound of my heart pounding rapidly in my chest.
Then he had turned and walked away leaving me standing there surrounded by tree and the sound of the coming rain. Sinking to my knees I stared unseeingly after his retreating back wondering if he could hear the sound of my heart breaking and if he even cared.
Curling up in the fetal position my body starts to shake as shock sets in and the rain comes falling down on me. The funny thing was I'd been expecting this from the day Edward began showing interest in me, I mean there is absolutely nothing special about me with the exception of my extra delicious smelling blood I don't have much going for me, so it really didn't come as that much of a surprise.
Despite the sense of inevitability of Edward leaving me it wasn't stopping my world from shattering around me, from my body shaking uncontrollably while silent tears start running down my face.
Laying here on the cold earth I'm starting to wonder how long I've been here in my misery, surely it's been days. My entire body feels numb and heavy and now that I think about it my uncontrollable shivering has more to do with my drenched clothing and the beginnings of hyperthermia, maybe I should get up. But instead I close my eyes, remembering Edwards's cold words and emotionless face
"It's for the best Bella, you're only human and I'm – WE are always worried about hurting you. You're too fragile and your blood is way too tempting"
How could he just leave me like this, how could they all just leave me like this. The Cullen's had trusted me with their secret, let me into their family treating me like I mattered to them and now I'm not even worth them saying goodbye face-to-face.
"We're all leaving tonight and we won't be coming back, I'm sorry Bella it has to be this way a clean break. You'll see in time that we're doing this for you so you can live a normal life"
All leaving tonight, never going to see them again?
ALICE!
My eyes blink rapidly open and look around in desperate confusion, Alice wouldn't just leave me here alone she was my best friend. Hope flares up inside me as I try to sit up, but my body is too weak and heavy from my water drenched clothes.
As my back hits the wet earth beneath me I realize just how dark it's gotten, leaving tonight
Of course Alice is going to leave me too, their her family and Jasper is her husband, I'm an idiot to even think Alice would care enough to stay she doesn't even care enough to say goodbye.
What does it matter anyway, I'm just going to lay here in the dark and the cold and let oblivion take away my pain.
