I wasn't thinking straight after I left Bella late afternoon in the woods, knowing at that moment her still beating, very human heart was breaking wide open, and it was my fault. If I knew then what I know now I would have done things differently, maybe things would have taken a different course, then again, maybe they wouldn't.
It wasn't right for her to love me, she was in danger every second that I remained in her life. Her birthday party was evidence of that. She nearly lost her life over a simple paper cut, who would've thought that a couple of drops of blood falling silently could cause such a reaction and near devastation.
That was the moment that everything changed.
