Chapter two: Leaving letter
I didn't speak to any of the family that night. I didn't add my opinion when Carlisle spoke over the leaving plan. I just sat in silence, knowing that even if I said something it wouldn't have been valued being as the rest of the family agreed on what Edward suggested.
"It's time for a change," Jasper agreed.
"I agree with Jasper," Alice followed. Even Rosalie was excited about leaving Forks behind. I didn't say a thing; I just stood up and went to my room, looking out at the beautiful forest below, adding memories which I knew wouldn't be easily forgotten. I sat by my window all night watching the black night sky transform into a variety of colour until the cloudy sky of the morning impacted on my mind. I heard Edward leave to give Bella his news, as he left I let my mind find Bella's emotion. At first her emotion was excited for the new day, after an hour that excitement turned to distraught. I heard Edward return; he knocked on my door and entered before I told him to. With out thinking I stood up and walked towards him. I let him smile in guilt before I hit the smile off his face. I had slapped my own brother in hate, being as Bella was to upset to do it herself.
"How could you stand there and hurt her like that?"
"It was for her own good Christina."
"How is breaking her heart for her own good?" Edward looked at me in shock, but before he could reply I walked out.
"Christina!" I heard him shout but I was already out of the door.
I didn't want to leave Bella without saying goodbye so I went to her house. I knew Edward would hate me for it, but at this time I didn't care what Edward thought. As I arrived, her bedroom window was open so I jumped and climbed through. The room was empty and as I scented her I could tell she wasn't coming back soon. I pulled out a piece of paper from my pocket and I had found a pen on Bella's desktop.
Dear Bella.
I am sorry we have to leave you like this, if it was up to me I would stay, but I am afraid I am being forced to go with the rest of the family. I shouldn't really be giving you this letter, but I want you to know that you have been a good friend and sister to me during these past few months and for that I am grateful. Edward has probably told you to forget all about us, but I know quite well that you never will, for it's impossible to forget the people who you once love dearly, I know about that quite well. I hope you find something good in life even though I am quite certain that it will not be like the life you have shared with us. I also know that you will always be in Edward's heart. Please don't go looking for trouble and please keep safe. You might feel alone with us gone, but I want you to know I will still be looking out for you.
Christina.
Xx
I left the note by on her pillow before leaving her room once more. As I left the house I looked back and whispered goodbye for what I wish wouldn't be the last time.
