Chapter 3

The Night After

Edward's POV

"Good-Bye Bella. I love you."

I watched as they found her and brought her home. I walked away returning to my volvo. I sped away from Forks heading towards the Seattle airport. I'm gettting away from here, I thought. She was better off without me.

*RIIIINNNNGGGG!!!!*

"For someone who doesn't want to be found, you answer your phone fairly fast."

Alice , great.

"Well I.. What would you like?

"I saw Bella with a strange vampire. I think she was part of the Volturi. She went to the house, I don't know why, and this young girl about 13/14 was there in your room. The only reason Bella found her was because she wanted to be found."

"Woah, back up Bella went back to the house? What else did you see Alice??"

"She disappears around 5pm. I'm worried. She has never disapeared like that before. I couldn't see anything."

"Jacob." I cursed under my breath.

"I bet you he had something to do with it. Stupid wolves. He knew we left."

"Hold on bro.. She went to him, not the other way around."

"What??"

"She goes to the boundry line then disapears. She was planning it otherwise I would have never known."

"Oh. Is she going to come back over the line?"

"Yes. Around 11pm. She'll be fine Edward. I just thought you would like to know what was going on."

"I told you not to go looking for her future. I don't want us interferring with her life anymore. We caused enough trouble for her."

"She was trouble before we met her. You know that. Besides I can't help it, I'm so tuned into her already. Please just give me a break. So are you coming back to the house or going out on your own. Wait. I know the answer already. You're breaking Esme's heart. She wants you to come back. Plus she wants you to go back to Bella. 'You belong with her' are her exact words."

"I know. But with the way she attracts trouble, I'm just not going to be able to keep my sanity. I love her but why does she love me? I'm a disgusting monster."

"Edward you know that's not true. She loves you for you. Not the monster part. I'm sure she's told you that she doesn't care. Anyway, I know you will go back to her. You will make the right choice."

"She's better off without me. She doesn't need me. I will make that descion later."

"Whatever. Edward, your need her. She completes you. Anyway I got to go Jazz just got back. See you on the 5th. Bye"

"See you Al. Bye."

I hung up the phone. Alice was right, she always was. I needed Bella and she needed me. But until her or I made that realiziation, she is going to be okay. I have to check on her. I need to see her, watch her talk in her sleep. I couldn't. I promised her I wouldn't ruin her life again by being in it. She would be better off without me... Right? I mean she was strong, she would do it for Charlie. If he needed her she would be there.

2 Hours Later

The Pacific ocean, gleamed underneath the sun. It was a good thing the windows were tinted. The flight attendant was extremely nice. Of course she was nice, I looked like a movie star to her. If she only knew. The island was just off the coast of Rio. I was planning on taking Bella here. Well, that would probably not happen now. By the time I go back to Forks, she will be long gone way from there. The sun was setting beyond the horizon, it would have took my breath away if I had any breathe to take away. I chuckled at that thought. It was so silly how comments like that made me smile. Anything that reminded me of her. I changed my train of thought. I wondered what it would be like to track. Not humans but a certain animal species. I doubt I would be any good, but it would be something to distract me.

The plane landed. Finally, I thought. The ride over to Rio was utterly boring. I could have ran faster. Good thing the sun had long been set. Most people would have been weirded it out with the fact of a grown man diving into the water. Island Esme was going to be the perfect getaway for me....
