Chapter 2

Edward's POV

I raced down to Bella house, knowing she would be home from work soon. I checked the time in the car, I would be earlier then I thought. I parked my Volvo next to Charlie's cruiser. I would have to spend some quality time with Charlie until Bella got home.

I knocked on the front door. I heard Charlie's footsteps walking sluggishly towards the door.

"Who in the world can that be?" Charlie thought.

He opened the door, and I stood straight up, my hands behind my back. I nodded once, "Hello Chief Swan"

"Oh it's him" he grumbled inside his head.

"Hello Edward. Bella's not home yet from work"

"Is it all right if I wait for Bella here until she gets back" I smiled politely.

"Uhm sure, I suppose" he said scratching the back of his head, indecision crossed his face.

"What game is on?" I asked, trying to start conversation. Football wasn't much of a hobby to me so I wouldn't be able to talk much after we got settled.

"Well I just got home, we can soon find out" Charlie cleared his throat and then walked into the front room and sat on the sofa and flicked on the television.

Charlie quickly glanced at the space next to him on the sofa. He coughed, showing discomfort at the thought of me sitting next to him. I rolled my eyes while he wasn't noticing and made myself comfortable on the armchair.

"Are you hungry? I was thinking of ordering some pizza." Charlie said, getting up awkwardly from the couch.

"No, I'm fine" I replied.

"Well, all right" Charlie said as he walked into the kitchen.

"I never see that boy eat. Do I intimidate him that much that he's scared to eat around me or something?"

I coughed out a laugh at Charlie's thought. If only he knew…

After the pizza came, hours seemed to pass by until I heard Bella's truck come to a halt in front of the house. I could hear that monster of a contraption from the next town over.

It didn't take long for Bella to reach the door and suddenly call out for Charlie and me.

"In here" Charlie called out as he took sip from his beer.

I glued my eyes on the television, not really concentrating on what was going on. My thoughts went ramped with other things that were much more important.

"Hi" I heard Bella's voice. It sounded so small. She seemed to be waiting for my response since Charlie had already greeted her and yet she was still standing there still.

I came back to reality when I heard her reply to Charlie's intake on the cold pizza. I turned to look at her and smiled politely, "I'll be right behind you" then I turned my attention back to the television.

Charlie began ranting about some team as Bella left the room. I figured he was referring to the game that was going on, the one that I had mindlessly been watching with him for some time now.

I nodded and replied with short answers as much as I could to make things comfortable for Charlie. It was already bad enough for me to be in this house, to have to see Bella's face and know that I'm going to crush her beating heart.

I gasped quietly thinking what would happen if when I told Bella what my plan was, and her heart suddenly stopped beating.

Charlie heard my gasp and nodded, "I know that was foul play, how did the ref not see that!"

I had to clear my thoughts. Reacting in Charlie's presence to my decision would not be the smartest thing to do. I saw Bella climb up the stairs but my body wouldn't budge. I was frozen on the armchair, refusing to have to face her just yet. I stared back at the T.V. trying to think of the benefits of this whole ordeal.

It was only a matter of time before I heard her come back down. From the corner of my eye I saw her with her camera. And then suddenly she took a snap shot of me and Charlie.

Charlie and Bella began to banter. As I sat there, watching her, I realized how much I couldn't do this. I couldn't just go away forever. I had to stop thinking of myself though. I had to stop being selfish.

Suddenly Bella threw her camera at me. She had asked that I take a picture of her and Charlie. I leaned forward and stared through the little hole. I stiffened when I saw Bella's face, it seemed distraught. No ounce of content was on her face.

"You need to smile, Bella" I murmured.

The ends of her lips twitched and I snapped a picture.

"Let me take one of you kids" Charlie suggested.

Good ole Charlie…If only he knew I was trying to stay away from his daughter. Knowing that she would save this picture forever, and the one she took before of me. She would never forget about me this way.

I stood up from the chair and tossed him the camera. Bella came over to me; I put one hand on her shoulder and she wrapped her arm around my waist. I felt her grip tighten around me. As if I was going to make a run for it.

This is a bad idea. Taking pictures of me that would kill her to look at them after I left.

That's it! I'm going to have to take away those pictures of me. The presents too. Anything that would remind her of me and my family. It would hurt her but it's the right thing. One day she'll understand.

Once the picture was taken I dropped my hands to my sides. I twisted out of her arm and sat back down on the armchair, thinking of how I would get my hands on those pictures. I might have to steal the camera if she doesn't develop the pictures soon.

Bella then sat down in the room with us watching the game. But I knew her well enough to know that she was not watching the T.V at all. Probably worrying about why I'm acting this way. I sighed and I turned my attention on everything near the television. The buttons, the dust collecting on the top, anything that would make it seem like I was watching the game.

Once the game was over I had to think quick. Do I tell her now? What would Charlie think if he saw her bawling once she came back in? Would she even go back home? She would probably come running after me. I groaned inside my head as I slowly got up on my feet.

"I'd better get home"

I was such a coward. I didn't have it in me to tell Bella goodbye yet. I have power beyond imaginable, speed quicker then lightening, and yet I was scared. I couldn't do it, not today.

Charlie didn't look away from the television as I walked away. "See ya" he called out.

Bella followed behind me, I opened the door and went straight for my car. Hoping not to meet Bella's face before I left. I don't know what I would do if I saw her beautiful round face, white with fear and worry of my horrible visit.

Luck was not on my side when I saw Bella trail behind me all the way to my car.

"Will you stay?" her small voice called.

"Not tonight" I said as I abruptly got in my car and drove away.

00000

Once I got home Carlisle and Esme met me in the garage. Carlisle had his arm around Esme and sighed.

"How'd she take it?" Carlisle asked.

"Is she all right?" Esme spout right after.

"I didn't tell her" I muttered as I rushed passed them. I wanted to escape to my room, not have to deal with everyone's pity for the moment.

"Edward, what happened?" Carlisle spoke through his thoughts.

I ignored him and paced quicker to get away.

I spent the night half lying on the couch staring up at the ceiling, and the other half wandering around in the forest. I didn't want to speak to anyone and it seemed like my family all got the hint. I left to go to school without saying goodbye to anyone at the house.

I needed to do deal with this as soon as possible. And today would be the day.

The morning went the same as the day before. Silent. I planned on telling her after school, probably once she got home. It would be safer there.

I couldn't bare to look at her Bella's face. It hurt too much to think how it would suddenly crack with terrible emotions. She would hate me forever. But it didn't matter as long as I knew that one day she would be happy and safe again.

The only time I made contact with Bella was when she was day dreaming about something in English and Mr. Berty asked her a question that she wasn't responding to. I whispered to her the answer and then went right back to ignoring her. She wouldn't know how much more it was hurting me then her.

During lunch Bella was talking to the other people at the table for once. It surprised me a bit but I knew that if she could continue to do this her life would be fine without me. She needs to be with other humans. It's better for her.

After school I walked Bella to her car. She had work today, I forgot that fact. So my decision would have to hold off until she got back.

I drove back home, but to my surprise I saw Rosalie waiting, it seems for me, at the front door. I decided not to park my car in the garage and go see what was wrong.

"Rose?"

"Edward, can we talk?"

I nodded once and followed her into the forest and led me near the river. Rosalie looked out passed the water and sighed heavily.

"How're you feeling?" she said, breaking the silence.

"Fine" I lied

"I heard what you're planning on doing"

I didn't respond to her. I narrowed my eyes and stared straight across towards the sky.

"You're doing the right thing" Rosalie spoke again, "I hope you know that"

I took a deep breath and then exhaled, "Thanks Rose"

"We're all here for you" Rosalie patted my shoulder gently and then gripped on.

I closed my eyes and sighed, "I just want this to be over with"

Rose brought her hand back to her side and I felt her start to breathe unevenly. Her mind was racing with the memories of her past. I cringed and thought about how glad I was that Bella wouldn't have to go through that. This was the right thing.

I looked back at Rosalie's face, who too had her eyes shut. Her mind was still racing with her memories. I put my arm around her shoulder, comforting the one sister who seemed to despise my love for Bella. I laid my cheek on her golden blonde hair and sighed, waiting for her memories to stop rewinding.

"Let's go back to the house. Alice and Jasper should be getting back soon." I said, and luckily her mind became blank.

Rosalie nodded and we both turned to walk back.

I figured today wasn't the right day to go talk to Bella. I would spend time making arranges with Carlisle about our move.

Once we got home I met Carlisle in the kitchen and by the look on my face he knew why I came to find him.

"So I spoke to Tanya yesterday" Carlisle began, "I told her we might pay a visit soon"

I nodded. Carlisle was always one step ahead.

"I'll tell her tomorrow" my voice became hoarse.

I sighed softly and then left to escape to my room.

It was only seconds until I entered my room and shut the door behind me. My room was my sanctuary. I had hours before I would ruin the existence of my life.

I realized I was still leaning against my door, gripping the doorknob. I looked around my room, remembering the first time Bella came inside; her face bright with curiosity yet weary being alone with me in my room.

I sighed, whisking the memory away and trying to put it in the back of my mind. Suddenly there was a light breeze passing through the opening on the other side of my room and it was as if it was a sign from up above. The wind whipped passed a stack of loose leaf paper and sheets fell to the floor.

I walked over and knelt on the floor. Write her a farewell note. That's perfect.

I grabbed a few sheets and sat on my couch.

"Pen. Pen. Pen. Ah here" I reached in between the cushions, remembering that Bella and I were doing a crossword puzzle while we waited for the family to get ready so we could go back to the clearing for another baseball game. I stared at the pen and sighed.

I shook my head mechanically. This is childish. A mere pen isn't going to make me depressed. I furrowed my eyebrows and began tapping the tip to the pen, thinking of how to begin.

I was surprised at how late it had gotten when I had crumpled another sheet of loose leaf paper. I was now lying down on the couch, my knees close to my chest, and the stack of loose leaf resting on my knees. I looked down to the floor and saw a mountain of white crumpled balls of paper.

Dear Bella I began again. I'm sorry that it had to end like this. You should have a normal human life. I hear Mike Newton is quite the gentleman—

I crumpled the sheet.

"There was no way Mike Newton would ever be perfect for Bella" I said to myself. I thought for a second and then opened the sheet of paper again, "Yet, it wouldn't hurt to lie for Bella's sake"

I began to right more nonsense about Mike Newton and other human life fantasies that seemed to be just right for Bella. I read the note over and over and the more I read it the more I realized Bella would not believe one word of what I was writing.

Dear Bella— I crossed that out.

My Bella,

One day you'll understand why I left. Please don't hate me forever. Love Edward.

That seemed just right. Simple and to the point. I folded the note and slipped it into my back pocket.

I felt satisfied. I would leave Bella a note on her desk, somewhere were she should find it easily after I spoke to her face to face. Maybe with the note she can't hate me forever, even though I deserve at least that.

I stood up and walked to the opening and looked past into the forest.

"Now to face the worst"
