I drove down the road at twice the speed limit, towards my Bella's house. If she were here she would be screaming at me to slow down. I smiled to myself. How I longed to have her warm body back in my arms.
I rounded the corner and an unexpected sight greeted me. Bella was standing on the lawn, while Charlie packed some luggage into the car.
I don't understand why she has to leave. Did she have a fight with Edward? But she said it wasn't because of Edward. What had she meant by that?Charlie's thoughts contemplated.
Bella was leaving? A sudden pain came crashing down on me. I stepped out of the car as she said goodbye to Charlie. When she looked up at me she had tears pouring down her face. I wanted to run over and hold her in her arms, to comfort her, but I stopped myself, I wasn't sure if that would make things worse.
"You're leaving?" I asked instead. She just nodded her head. What was going on here?
"I'm sorry, I have to go", she whispered. I had to stop her, I needed her to explain. Living without her would kill me, and I had to know why before that happened.
"Wait, Bella. Why?" I asked.
"I don't want to stay here anymore, I need to leave", she said.
I still didn't understand. Had something happened to her? We could sort it out. I couldn't live without her.
"Why?" I asked again.
Her face filled with pain for half a second, and then it was determined.
"I don't want to stay here with you anymore. I need to get away from Forks, away from you."
Of course, she had finally realized I was no good for her; that she shouldn't be with me. And she was right, I was dangerous and she should stay away, this is what I had been asking for since I had fist met her. This fact didn't stop my heart from shattering as she drove away.
I don't know how long I stood there for, it could have been hours or minutes, it didn't matter. Eventually I ran back to my house. All of my family's thoughts were filled with confusion and worry. Alice had had a vision, but wouldn't tell anyone about it.
I didn't know whether or not I should tell them, I thought it might be better to hear the whole story from you.
Alice told me through her thoughts.
I walked through the door and they were all surrounding Alice. As they saw me they all froze in shock. Six images of myself, all looking as though someone had just died, were thrown at me.
"Edward, what's going on?" Carlisle said in his calm, assuring voice.
"She's gone", I said, barley louder than a breath. I could hardly say it, saying it made it final.
"What? Why?" They all asked, except Alice. I couldn't say anymore. Alice seemed to realize this.
I'll tell them, is this right?
She asked in her thoughts, replaying the scene with Bella again for me. I knew she was only trying to get the story straight, but it sent another stab of pain through my dead heart to see the scene again.
Sorry
She thought, seeing me wince.
I gave one small nod, and then ran up to my room. Of course, with my sensitive hearing, I still heard her quick explanation.
"Bella's gone. She told Edward she didn't want to stay here anymore", she explained, missing out the part where Bella didn't want me any more.
Everyone was shocked and disbelieving except for Rosalie.
"Oh please, is that all? I thought that was what he wanted? For her to leave, to be safe?" she said snidely. She was partly right, I did want Bella safe, but Rosalie didn't understand the love I felt for Bella, the pull she had on me, no one understood that.
"Rose, this is going to be hard on Edward, on all of us", Esme said in a very motherly way.
Why? She's just a human. Who cares?
She thought, but didn't voice her opinions.
For the next couple of hours my family's thoughts were filled with pain and pity. After a while I couldn't stand it any more. I left the house and ran, trying not to think about anything but the green and brown surrounding me.
I hope you liked this chapter. I didn't like the first bit very much, it didn't come out the way I wanted it to. Oh well. I haven't had any suggestions for any chapters except this one, so if you want more you need to review! Please?
