Chapter One, Edward.
Running through the forest with my family is something I never thought I'd tire of. When we ran and hunted we were a family, like we were before. Before Bella. There were no sad thoughts, worries or emotions; nothing to affect either Jasper or I. Bella had pulled our family together in those few short months we had dated, it was strange in some ways and horrible in others. None of us thought leaving her would pull us apart, especially not me. I hate to say that I would do everything again, but I would. She is safer without me. I can hurt her so easily, she had to know that, especially after-
That isn't the point. The point is that I hurt her, so I had to leave her... hurting her more, but for the better this time. She can have a human life, a safe life. I had to hurt my family too, for her. Telling them she didn't want anything to do with us, that the birthday was too much. I made sure Jasper knew she didn't blame him though, I had too, after all she didn't, she couldn't. Here I am thinking about this again, during the good times. I can't help it though. I've lied to my whole family and they ever figure it out they'll never forgive me.
