A New Alexandra
Nick's Point Of View
I'd been thinking excrutiatingly hard on my new relationship with Alex. I couldn't go through with it. I couldn't put her through this. We had eternity to work out the bumps, but it would be painful. Edward hated me. The Volturi wanted her. And her whole family was in danger. I was at fault for all of this. I had to give her up. She would miss her freedom more than she would ever miss me. I was going to free her of all Volturi related problems. I would give them myself, in her place.
I stared at her as I told her the story of my life. It was going to be hard to walk away from such a beautifully innocent face. I just couldn't do it. But it was what I had to do. Alexandra deserved more than me. I didn't deserve anything after killing her. I would leave soon. And I began to wonder how long until she wouldn't want me anymore. I told her anyways.
"Alexandra." I said taking her hand. "I am leaving you. I am going to Volterra. I am joining the Volturi. I want to save you and your family."
"By leaving me?!" She cried. Tears began to drown her delicate face. I could only nod.
"No, you can't. You can't go Nick!" Alexandra said, torment filling her eyes.
"I have to! Don't you see? We weren't meant to be together. It is our fate to go our separate ways. You must understand." I stated. The pain in my heart was almost unbearable.
"No, no it's not. You can't leave me. Not now anyways." She argued.
"Alexandra." I calmly said her name. "this will be better for you. I must clear everything up for you. We have an eternity, I want it to be a great and amazing life for the both of us. The family, the home, the everything will come to you, my love. If not with me than with Adrian. He wants to give you those things too. He is right for you. Not me. Take him. Give him a family and a life that you both deserve. It will all be alright with him. I cannot give you anything Alexandra, nothing besides suffering."
"That's not true, Nicholas. I would give him those things if you didn't love me. But you do, and that eternity should be spent with you! Give me what I deserve, give me yourself!" She cried.
"I lied to you Alexandra." Her face went blank.
Alexandra's Point Of View
"I don't love you. I never did." He said. He was telling the truth. Somewhere in me I knew it. I cried harder. My love, my life, my everything was walking away from me. I pried the ring off my left hand.
"Fine! Take it you stupid lying bastard!" I threw it across the table and for an instant it glittered in the sun before landing in the palm of his hand.
I sat there and cried as he picked himself up from the table and left the room. I heard the front door slam and the entire house shook. I was glad that no one else was home. I didn't want them to know.
All of a sudden two large arms wrapped themselves around me. They were warm and welcoming. They held me as I cried. I already knew who's arms they were. I knew then that Nick hadn't lied and that I was going to get a great life. The man took me closer to him. He tightened his arms around me and whispered soothing words to me.
I knew, then, that this was what I wanted. I nuzzled closer to Adrian, letting his arms constrict around me until I was encased in happiness and love once again.
