I stared at the ceiling in my dark room. The dark room didn't t help the dark void that I was in.
Bella Swan.
The beautiful human that had tamed the wild vampire. The human kind enough to give me her heart.
I had to break it.
A sob built in my throat as I remembered her.
Her brown silky hair, her scent, her beauty and most of all her endless chocolate brown eyes that portrayed her love and trust in me.
My heart constricted at the word.
Love.
I was going to cherish and love the beautiful girl as long as she lived.
She didn't t think she was beautiful.
Funny; she was the most beautiful creature that I had ever met.
I heard a timid knock on the door. I turn my head to see Alice.
Edward? She asks quietly.
I don t answer
We're ready to leave.
I nodded and slowly got off the bed. We were moving again.
To Forks, Washington.
Where everything began and ended.
I trudged to Emmett s jeep. No one was the same anymore.
Alice didn't t shop.
Emmett didn't t joke around
Rosalie was quiet.
Esme didn't t renovate
Carlisle worked at the hospital more often to avoid the misery at home.
Jasper was so miserable that it was everyone s permanent mood.
We arrived at our house 2 hours later.
I grab my suitcase and exit the jeep
I blinked back memories;
Bella listening to every word I was saying.
Listening lovingly to me playing the piano,
Reaching out to try and touch the wooden cross,
I sighed and moved to the house.
I sank on the sofa and pinched the bridge of my nose with my thumb and forefinger.
This place brought up bad memories.
I took a picture of my Bella out.
No.
Not my Bella.
Not anymore.
Come on Edward. Alice said pulling me to school.
I trudged forwards as the little pixie pulled me along.
I felt my heart squeeze as I remembered my angel.
Stop moping Edward! It s the 1st day of school! Alice begged
Of what? An eternity of schools why should I be excited? I said a bit harshly.
Alice turned around and glared, if Bella were her, she d want you to live out your eternity.
I recoiled as she had slapped me.
Her name still caused reactions in me.
Alice huffed and slumped, just .get to class Edward.
I walked to biology, lost in my thoughts.
What I wouldn't t give to have her in my arms?
But she has someone else. It has been 50 years and she is very beautiful.
Any male could see that.
I moaned at the thought of anyone holding her or kissing her.
My beautiful Bella should be in my arms.
I stopped short.
I looked at my cold, hard hands .hating them for everything for pushing my love away.
No, she shouldn't t.
This way was better... Better for her, worse for me.
How could I stand this, to be away from my saviour so long, the one who led me out of the dark?
I entered the room. Humans perceived vampires as beautiful, but I had seen true beauty and I wasn't it.
Everyone moved to gaze at me, all except one set of eyes. A vampire sat at the back of the room, hidden in shadow so I couldn't see her face.
She didn't even stir.
"I'm afraid there is only one seat available Mr. Cullen, You must sit next to Miss Cross" He said indicating the vampire girl.
I obeyed quickly, stares following me to my seat.
"De ja vu..." She murmured to her lap.
I ignored the comment, it didn't matter, nothing mattered. Yet something did. She did. Where is she? My universe revolved around her, but where was that.
"You haven't changed a bit you know. I never expected you to come back here, I thought it would be too painful, but maybe I am the only one that that applies to."
Was she talking to me? I had never met her before and yet there was some familiarity. In the shape of her perfect golden eyes and her disproportioned lips.
She was much more beautiful than Rosalie, but who was she?
"What's wrong, got amnesia? Then again you did seem pretty keen to forget me." She smiled but she looked truly miserable.
The bell rung before I could say a word in response. She was gone before I had time to gather my thoughts.
I entered the cafeteria and scanned the room for the others. They sat in the far left hand corner of the room far away from human stares.
The Cross girl sat alone two tables away staring at a full plate of untouched food.
I moved to go at sit with my family when something caught me in the arm. The lid of a lemonade bottle?
I beat back more memories, Bella nervously fiddling with the lid of her lemonade whilst in close proximity to me.
I sat by Alice, not greeting anyone and stared at the wall. This place hadn't changed in 500 years, just as my love for her had not.
BPOV
Katy Cross.
That's my name now. Bella Swan had died a long time ago and this broken hollow shell of a person had been left in her place.
What happened to time? I was promised that time would heal the wounds inflicted on my kind.
Then again 'My kind' was no longer human, not anymore, not since Victoria had come back for me.
He sat so close, just two tables away, and yet I couldn't reach. He didn't even know who I was.
I felt so alone. 80 years alone. Too long. So alone. Just waiting for someone to pull me out of the dark.
