Bella's POV (From New Moon)
"Goodbye, Bella," he said in the same quiet, peaceful voice.
"Wait!" I choked out the word, reaching for him, willing my deadened legs to carry me forward.
I thought he was reaching for me, too. But his cold hands locked around my wrists and pinned them to my sides. He leaned down, and pressed his lips very lightly to my forehead for the briefest instant. My eyes closed.
"Take care of yourself," he breathed, cool against my skin.
There was a light, unnatural breeze. My eyes flashed open. The leaves on a small vine maple shuddered with the gentle wind of his passage.
He was gone.
Edward's POV
I ran and ran to get away from all the pain it caused me to get away from her. I love her so much and yet, when I said those words, she believed me almost instantly. Am I good for her? No, I never would be. But how to get away from something that you know it's wrong but it feels so right? Esme and Carlisle will be so worried. Rosalie will probably be glad I'm gone or at the most, not care. Alice, Jasper, Emmett... I'm leaving the ones I love the most, especially her. I can't even say her name. It'll hurt the heart that she made appear back into me. I've got to run. As far as I can. I don't know where I'm going. Maybe I should go to Tanya. No, that's the last time I need, women showing interest. I wouldn't want anyone else except her, and I'm not right for her. I'm not good enough for her. How could she fall in love with someone like me? I don't get it. She knows my secret. She should be running Waving her arms around and telling the latest gossip about the Cullens. I'm glad she didn't, but still... I don't get it. She's the most beautiful, most wonderful, most interesting girl I've ever meet and I love her. But we aren't the same. Maybe I'm making a mistake. I should go back and comfort her. Tell her to forgive me.. No. I should just run. Just keep running and never look back. She'll find someone that will make her happier than I will. Maybe I should check on her from time to time. To see how she's doing. Yeah. No... Just one look wouldn't hurt... Would it?
