A/N: Hey guys. Thanks for all of the reviews, favorites, and alerts. I put some new pics on my profile for this story. It's kind of important to look at them so that you know the kind of life Bella has in this story. Okay, that's all. On with chapter 2.

Don't ask me where I was going. I don't even know. But I did know I had to get the hell out of there. I needed time to think. No, not to think- to mourn. To mourn the loss of a love I never knew could exist. Then again, you can't lose something you never had. He never loved me. He said it himself. When he left, he said it then. He tried to take it back, but if "I'm miserable" isn't a confirmation of a non-existent love and a very existent hatred, then I don't know what is.
At first, I was walking. Okay- I was running out the door like I saw a ghost in my house. Which, I did. I saw the ghost of happiness mocking my very existence right in front of my eyes. Then I slowed to walking once I reached the lake in the back of my house. Well, it was more of a pond really, very easy to jump over. Which is what I did. That's when I broke into a jog, which became a faster jog, which became a run, which then became the very marathon-like sprint I was in right now. Amazingly enough, I found that when I ran, I became lighter. I was no longer klutzy Bella whenever I ran. It was honestly a miracle. I found that out the first time I ran aimlessly. The day Edward left. The day my sunny world became a distant illusion and was replaced by a globe of grief and sorrow.
The day I died.
Still running, these thoughts came into my mind. Thoughts of what could have been. Thoughts of what I hoped could still be. A lost hope, that was. I was now about three miles behind my house. Well, it was more on the verge of a mansion. Ahhh, behold, my unknown destination. I should have known this was where my feet would take me. It was amazing. Like my body knew what my mind needed.
I was standing in front of the most gorgeous piece of nature I had ever seen. This beautiful waterfall that covered a cave. So I got a little wet when I went into the cave from having to go through the waterfall to get there. Ok, my clothes were nearly drenched. But it was definitely worth it. Besides, it was nearly fifty out. That is one of the warmest Forks has ever been. But my brief moment of relief when I saw where I was quickly crumbled when I remembered the reason I was here. Not even one whole minute passed before I found myself crumbled in the corner with tears falling from my face in buckets. Then I heard a very weird sound, a combination of a howl, a sob, and a screech. Oh, that was me.
How did I end up like this again? How did I go from being elated with happiness to being drowned in anguish? He just didn't understand. He just didn't understand me. Of course I wanted to be like him. I wanted to be someone he deserved, not someone he thought of as a burden. But, no. He wouldn't do it. He wouldn't change me. He knows that he has a soul. I know he knows that. He has to. This means I also knew it was just an excuse he used so he wouldn't have to change me. So he wouldn't have to be around me for that long. I used to wonder why he wouldn't want me to be like him. But that was when he fooled me into thinking he loved me. So, if that wasn't love, then what was he doing? Just humoring me? Did he get bored with his life and figure that he needed a new game? This just made me angry. My sadness was replaced with anger. But I still sobbed. I sobbed the hardest I had ever sobbed in my life.

I ran straight after Bella. After my Bella. It was difficult at first because I couldn't pick up her scent right away. That was not a good sign. That meant more time has passed than I thought. So all I could do was follow the muddy footprints of her boots. I meant to ask her about that. Why she all of a sudden had a sudden change in style. Trust me, I'm not complaining, it was just unusual for Bella. Bella. Where on Earth could you be? I finally picked up her scent after about a mile, which is much further than I thought she'd go. But I guess I should have expected this. Who wouldn't run away from a monster like me?
Three miles I had been traveling, when I heard a faint heartbeat. Bella? I followed the sound, becoming stronger with each step I took. Where it took me I did not expect. It was a waterfall. Why would Bella come here? It was beautiful on its own, but I knew that once I saw Bella, it would look nothing further from a garbage bag. I heard her heartbeat stronger now and her scent was stronger as well. She must be close. But where is she? Then I heard the one sound that could tear my world apart with its first note: Bella's tortured sobs. I had trained my body to that sound. Whenever I heard the commencing tone of her cries, my body immediately reacted by running straight towards where it came from. I didn't even have to think about it. Before I knew it, I had run through the waterfall, and was now staring at a broken Bella on the ground.
A/N: OK, that's chapter 2. Sorry these chapters are so short. I'll try to make them longer. Please review or message me to let me know if you guys like this or not, and what needs to be changed or what could be made better. Plot suggestions also welcome.
