Chapter Four
None of the Cullens showed up the rest of the week in school and none of them answered their phones when she called. Hermione was worried about them; there had been rumors that some of the Cullens were seen leaving town.
Angela and Ben had been shooting looks at Hermione all day long at school. She was happy to go home at the end of the day.
Getting out of her truck, Hermione was shocked to see Edward standing by her door. She sighed and walked towards him.
"Edward, I've been worried about you." She tried to give him a hug but he backed up.
He said nothing as he stepped further away from her.
Hermione scowled and then walked to the front door and opened it. "Come in then."
Edward continued to remain silent as they both walked into the house. He followed her to the kitchen where he sighed. "We need to talk."
Hermione swallowed hard and looked at him, "What about?"
"Monday had put things in perspective for us all. My family and I are leaving. The others had already left, I stayed behind to say goodbye to you."
"Nothing serious happened on Monday, Edward. You all made a mistake by not feeding before school. No one could have known that Angela would cut herself at lunch."
"A cut that could have led to a massacre at school, and then you went and drew a hungry vampire towards you. I always knew that we were dangerous for you, but I wouldn't let myself see reason. Now I have, we are leaving and we will probably never see each other again." He had a grimace on his face for a moment before he cleared it into an emotionless mask.
"You cannot just pull your family away from their lives here."
"We all spoke about it Monday evening and we decided that we just cannot stay here any longer."
"They decided or you did?"
Edward sighed, "We all decided that this would be best, it is too dangerous to be so close to a human such as you, you have been hurt to many times because of us."
Hermione squeezed her eyes shut; she decided she was going to tell him her secret. "Edward, I-"
She watched him tilt his head to the side and grimace again, "I have to go."
"No! You will take a moment to listen to me!"
"Goodbye Bella." Then he was gone.
Hermione growled as she heard the front door open. "Stupid vampire!"
"Bella? Is something wrong?" Hermione turned to see Charlie holding Teddy in the doorway.
"They left Charlie, they all left."
He sat Teddy down on the floor and walked towards her, "What do you mean?"
"After the incident on Monday, apparently they all sat down and discussed it. They decided that they needed to leave. Edward decided that I have been hurt one too many times. So they are gone."
He pulled her into a hug, "Are you okay?"
"I was going to tell him, but he cut me off before I could. I guess he heard you coming."
"That doesn't answer my question Hermione."
She pulled away from him and discreetly wiped her eyes, "Yes, I'll be fine."
"Hermione, you cared for that boy."
"Of course I cared for him Charlie, but if he truly cared for me he wouldn't have left like that."
"You know why he left; he thinks he is protecting you."
"I don't need protecting!" Hermione sat on a chair and put her face in her hands. Teddy crawled over to her and then climbed into her lap.
"Hermione," Charlie started while sitting in the chair next to her.
"I know Charlie, I know. He left because he doesn't want me to be hurt. I understand why he did what he did; Harry tried the same thing numerous times."
"You won't hold it against them then?"
"No, I'm sure we will all see each other again. And when we do I will be lighting some clothes on fire."
Charlie chuckled and patted her shoulder, "If you ever need to talk, let me know. Should we contact Kingsley and tell him that the Cullens have left?"
She shook her head, "I'm sure he will be aware of it soon, thank you though Charlie. I think I'm going to go upstairs and lay down for a little bit."
"I'll keep Teddy down here with me if you would like."
"No, I would like to lay with him."
Hermione took Teddy upstairs and laid them both on her bed, "It's just you, me, and Charlie now Teddy. The Cullens have left. But I'm positive we will see them again. And when we do they will be getting a piece of my mind."
She kissed his head and slowly they both fell asleep cuddled next to each other.
