Chapter 5 Goodbye
EPOV
Alice lead me into her apartment. It was perfect for her and her roommate because it was small.
"Come on," she said pulling my arm. "I'll show you her room."
"Good," I answered. "I could probably sleep for days."
She lead me down the hall to a room on the right. It was rather simple and the scent of strawberries filled the room. I was hit with her memory, because she always smelled of them. I put my bag down and walked around the room. As I walked past her bed I ran my fingers along the bedding.
"It this okay," she asked coming into the room.
"It's perfect," I told her. "Are you sure she won't mind?"
"No," she answered. "I'll let you get some sleep."
"Thanks," I said as she closed the door.
I ran into the bathroom and took a shower to get of the airplane smell off of me. After sliding some pajama pants on I slide underneath the blankets on her bed. The smell of the strawberries assaulted me as I fell asleep.
"Kids," I heard mom yell. "Bella, is going to be here in a minute to say goodbye."
I couldn't believe it. My closest friend was moving away today. I felt as if a part of me was already missing. We were both supposed to start high school in a couple of weeks. Her parents decided to move to Port Angeles for better job opportunities. She didn't want to leave at all. More importantly I didn't want her to go.
"Coming," I said bouncing down the stairs.
When I hit the bottom stair, there was a knock on the door. When mom opened the door it was Bella was standing there. Her face was red with tears down it as she tried to stop crying.
"I don't want to go," she cried when my mom pulled her into her arms.
"Believe sweetheart," she said trying to calm her down. "We don't want you to go either. I love you and will miss you."
"I'll miss you," she said when my mom finally let her go. "I love you too."
"You will call me," Alice said crying now. "I'll come visit and we will go shopping."
"Okay," she said laughing.
"I'll miss you Bella," Alice said hugging her for dear life.
When she came to me, her sobs picked up again. I was not saying goodbye to her. I met her eyes and saw the sadness in them. Seeing that I turned and bolted out the back door.
"Edward," my mom yelled after me. I didn't care anymore. I wasn't going to deal with any of this. I ran back to "our" oak tree knowing that she would come after me.
"Edward," she said coming up behind me. "Please don't make this any harder then it already is."
"Harder then it already is," I responded. I was pissed at her parents for taking her away from me.
"I don't want to go," she cried coming around to face me. "Don't you believe me."
"Go away," I yelled at her.
"Please," she begged grabbing my arm.
"I hate you," I told her staring into her eyes. "I never want to see you or talk to you ever again."
"You don't mean that," she said hugging me. Why did she feel so good in my arms? "You promised that we would always be friends."
"Promises are meant to be broken," I told her pushing her off of me. When she hit the ground, the tears in her eyes fell. "Maybe now I will be able to have a relationship without you attached to my hip. Now leave me the fuck alone."
She looked at me in shock before covering her face with her hands and running off. What just happened? I admit that I was pissed off at her parents. I wasn't supposed to take it out on her. I had no right to treat her like that or more importantly push her to the ground. That was not how I wanted to say goodbye. I fell to my knees and broke down.
"Bella," I cried over and over realizing that she was gone.
"Edward," I heard Alice say shaking me. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," I responded. "It was just a bad dream."
"You were calling for Bella," she said sitting on the end of the bed.
"I'm sorry," I told her.
"Don't worry about," she said looking out the window. "I miss her too."
"I was so stupid," I said hanging my head down.
"We'll see her again one day," she said reassuring me.
"I hope you're right," I told her. I wished that Alice was right on this.
"I'll let you get back to sleep," she said getting up.
"Night," I told her as she shut the door.
I laid in the bed looking out the window. I though about Bella and how much I missed her. Sometimes I wished that I could go back in time to that day. I would have told her how much I loved her. I feel asleep thinking about her.

I hated lying to my brother, but he couldn't know the truth about Bella. Just not yet at least. As I walked into my room I picked up Bella's book. I had picked up a copy at the airport to read. She never let me read the drafts, so I thought it would be interesting to read this. But I couldn't stop thinking about Edward.
He woke me up yelling Bella's name. When I made it to her bedroom door, I realized the dream that he was having.
Bella was moving away and had come to say goodbye. When she got to him he bolted out the back door and she went after him. After a couple of minutes I saw her run around to the front of the house. She got into her parents car and they took off. She looked horrible, almost as if her heart had been ripped out.
I went to "their" oak tree, where they would go and found him. He was on his knees slumped over crying. As I got closer he was calling her name.
"Edward," I said putting my hand on his shoulder. "What happened?"
"I ruined everything," he told me still looking at the ground.
"It'll be okay," I told him sitting down beside him. "She'll forgive you. You know that she always does."
"Not this time," he answered. "I told her that I hated her. Then I told her that I never wanted to see or talk to her ever again."
"You didn't," I said shocked. No wonder she didn't come back into the house.
"It gets even worse," he said looking at me. "When she hugged me, I pushed her to ground. I said that with her gone that maybe I could have a relationship."
"Edward," I gasped. I couldn't believe that those words would even come out of his mouth. He looked at me and broke down again. "It'll be alright."
I stayed with him until it got dark and we headed into the house. After that day he changed into a completely different person. He had a new girlfriend every month until he met Tanya our junior year of high school. She was a horrible person who only thought of herself. She cheated on him every chance that she got and he never believed us. They would break up, but would be back together in a matter of weeks.
I curled back into my bed with her book thinking about what the story might entail. Before I could turn to the first page my phone went off. I checked and it was a text from Bella.
B: Made it okay. Wanted to let you know. Love ya J
That was nice and the right thing for her to do. I quickly replied to her message.
A: Thanks a bunch! Have Fun! Love ya too J
I opened her book up and started to read. I hadn't made it past the first page when I was shocked.
As I sat at my desk I couldn't help but think about my very first day of school. As I walked into my kindergarten classroom, I was met by a girl named Pixie. She was my height, very friendly, and had short spiky black hair. She led me over to the play kitchen to show me around. I knew then at that moment we would be great friends and possibly act like sisters.
"Bella," I said to myself in disbelieve. "Why would you hide this from me?"
I couldn't believe that her character Pixie was me. It had to be me. She used my nickname and gave her my description. I wanted to read more, but before I knew it I was already asleep.
