Chapter 9

BPOV

I woke up remembering the night I spent with Edward a few nights ago. I remembered his golden hair and the warm fire. I smiled to myself and gradually got up out of bed.

I looked outside. The sun was shining and the birds were chirping. It was one of those rare sunny days in Forks. I could tell it was going to be a good day.

I went downstairs to make myself a hot breakfast when my parents who were sitting around the small table in the dining room with a big breakfast already prepared, greeted me.

Oh No. I knew something was wrong. They usually did this when they were going to tell me something big or something I wouldn't like. They did this when they told me we were coming to Forks for the summer.

"What's going on?" I took a deep breath and braced myself for the answer.

"Honey, you might want a seat," said my mum while pulling a chair out for me to sit on. I sat down wearily, still waiting." We have decided to go back to Phoenix next week instead."

"What!"

I had completely forgotten about Phoenix and leaving Forks. I couldn't leave. This was my home now. This was where I belonged. And I couldn't leave Edward. Where they punishing me for falling in love with Edward? We were leaving 2 weeks earlier than intended. This wasn't fair.

I sat in silence taking in what they had just told me. I got up slowly and made my way upstairs back to my room.

"Sweety, I know this is hard but we needed to go anyway and we have just brought it forward. Why don't you have some breakfast?"

I wasn't hungry. I kept going up the stairs. So many things were rushing through my head. I couldn't bear leaving Edward. Just the thought of it made me dizzy. I could feel tiny dear drops trickling down my cheeks.

I sat on my bed just thinking to myself. What was I going to tell Edward? How was I going to tell him?

There was a gentle knock on my bedroom door.

"Bella, Dear," mother whispered while entering the door and sat down on my bed.

"I know you're upset about leaving Forks early and leaving your friends but we have no choice."

No choice. That's rubbish. As if they don't have a choice. They just don't like the fact that I have fallen in love with someone who they disapprove off and they're trying to make me forget about him.

More tears were falling down my cheeks.

'Bella. Please say something?"

"Leave me alone."

I could tell this surprised her.

"Sorry?"

"Leave me alone" I repeated.

She got up annoyed and left me on my own in my bedroom.

I needed to see Edward. I needed to tell him. I got up and wiped my face and left.

Once I arrived at Edward's I ran up to his front door and frantically pressed the doorbell. I needed to be with him. I needed him to say it would be okay.

After a few minutes he answered the doorbell surprised to see me.

"Bella…"

I ran towards him and wrapped my arms around his muscular body. I felt so much safer with him.

"What's wrong? What's the matter? Bella?"

"I'm… I'm… I'm… moving" I was surprised the words were able to come out of my mouth.
"What? When? Where?"

"I'm moving back to Phoenix next week."

He wrapped me tighter gently stroking my hair.

"It'll be alright." He said soothingly trying to clam me down.

I could tell he was hurting inside.

We stood there for sometime thinking about what would happen next.

"Edward, please say something. "

"What do you want me to say? That it will be okay? That this is the end?" He had become angry again. I didn't want him to get angry.

I remained silent.

"Sorry, Bella. It's just that I don't know what we will do next. There's nothing we can do. When you go to Phoenix we probably will never see each other again."

I cried harder as soon as these words came out of his mouth. Deep down inside of me I knew that we couldn't do anything else and when I leave there was a very little chance we would meet again.

"Bella, The past weeks have been amazing. They truly have. I have never met a girl like you before and I am really glad I met you. But obviously this isn't meant to be. Your parents hate me, and now your leaving Forks. I think we should just leave this and remain friends."

Was I hearing things or did Edward actually say this. Did he say that we should just leave this, what we had shared for the past several weeks? Surely he was lying.

"Okay. " I didn't have the strength inside of me to defend our relationship and to tell him he was wrong.

Please tell me if you liked it or not. It was a hard chapter to write, so tell me what you think of it.

Thanks :)
