I looked at Angela, she had tears in her eyes, I sighed and got up, she looked at me, "I have to talk to him, I can't let him quit." She nodded.

I walked to the stairs and saw them still sitting there, I ran quickly up the stairs and then walked slowly across the catwalk, I stopped at the door, silently I knocked softly, "Come in . . ." A voice said, I entered and suddenly all eyes were on me.

"Please, join us." Carlisle gestured to a chair beside Edward.

I sat and waited for someone to talk, "As I was saying before, she goes I go, that's how it is." Edward said in a stern voice.

"Don't be ridiculous, you would flush your career down the toilet if you quit, you know that." Carlisle said, I gulped.

"My Career . . ." Edward laughed, "YOU KNOW DAMN WELL THAT ANY HOSPITAL IN THE COUNTRY AND CENTRAL EUROPE WOULD HIRE ME AT THE DROP OF A HAT." He yelled, I put my head down. "You don't understand how I feel for her . . ." He shook his head.

"Edward, you are honestly not going to leave for a well . . . Girl, that would be the worst decision to make . . . I would expect more from you." Carlisle said.

"I quit . . ." Edward said, "I quit, I am giving you my weeks notice . . ."

Carlisle cut him off, "Edward . . ."

Edward cut in, "I will be in your office tomorrow morning to sign the paper work." Edward got up.

"Edward . . . Wait, you are not doing this for me, stay here, I don't want you quitting because of me." Tears were running down my face as I followed him to the catwalk, his parents behind us.

"I am doing this for me . . ." He turned, he was in the middle of the catwalk his arms were outstretched and he was yelling but in a way it was soft, he was being loud so he could talk to me, try to make me understand. "I am realising that I don't want to be his puppy anymore, I want to be me and make my own mistakes as a surgeon without him breathing over my shoulder and making sure that I pass every exam in the program, the only time that I was my own doctor was when I went over to England, there I invented the clamp, I made medical history, and I didn't need him helping me." He said, emotion burning in his eyes.

"Edward you can do that here, without having that happen, you don't need to quit, move hospital, you don't need to move to a completely different environment and have to start over. You are jumping ship . . . Your walking away from this." I yelled at him.

"I am walking away because you disserve to be in this hospital, you deserve to be in the program, you are an amazing trauma nurse, you have a gift and this is one of the best hospital's for a nurse training program, I am doing this so you have a shot at being something wonderful, to make a career . . . I am doing this because I love you." He said back and I gasped, I walked to him slowly.

I looked up at him, my hands on his chest, "I love you too." I kissed him, my tongue and his fitting for dominance, but I pulled back and let my tears escape, "I have to go." I told him, he nodded, "Don't do anything yet, don't sign the papers, because I want to talk to you first, the morning okay, how about you meet me in the lounge, nine in the morning?" He nodded, I gave him a peck and told him I loved him, he said the same and we parted.

Everyone went there separate ways and I went to the lounge, I packed everything up, I packed my clothes, my medical books, I took all the files of my patients and put them on the bench beside me . . . I was the one quitting, I was the one that was leaving, I was packing know so I could make a clean break tomorrow, everything was packed, I just had to give my lab coat and pager back, plus my ID card, I took them all with me to Carlisle's office.

I entered and saw him alone, he was about to speak but I cut him off, "Look, I know you don't like me very much but I am not letting Edward quit, he worked his ass off to get to where he is and I will not be the one to end his career, so I am the one quitting, I would like you to keep this little meeting quiet between you and me until he finds out tomorrow morning, clear?" I asked.

He nodded, "Agreed, I will get the paper work." I nodded and he then turned, pulling papers from his drawer, I sighed and read my rights.

He gave me a pen, he marked were I sighed and I gulped, it took a minute or two before I actually signed the contract.

"Thank you for doing this." He said, he looked genuine.

"Your welcome . . ." And with that I waited for him to say the words.

"Miss Swan, as of now you are no longer a member of staff here, please leave you ID, lab coat and pager." I handed them over to him.

"Carlisle, can I ask one favour before I leave Edward's life forever." I said.

He frowned and too a deep breath, he looked sad, "Yes you can. And I am sorry that this has happened."

I ignored his earlier comment, "Can write him a letter and leave it in my locker, just tell him that its there." He nodded.

"Of course." He nodded and I smiled, it was a bittersweet one.

I left and I walked for the last time down the catwalk, I walked down the stairs and to the lounge.

I took a pen and paper into my hands and then sat at the desk, I began to write, tears filling my eyes:

Dear

Edward,

Please don't be in any way angry. I love you, I always will, its just that I couldn't let you give up your career that way. I couldn't let you throw away everything. You are a fantastic surgeon and you deserve to be able to be in a hospital that is up to your standards, I am blocking you from living your dreams and I cant let you do that . . .I am letting go of you . . . my true love. I cant tell you where I am going but I have idea's, just know that I will be happy, because I know that you are happy.

I don't want you too come after me, I don't want you to stop your life trying to find me, go live . . . go get married and have many children that are as funny, loving and cute as you are, go and have fun, but always know in the back of your mind that I love you.

Edward . . . You have to know that this is the hardest thing for me to do . . . To say goodbye to you is like having no air to breath, I hate the way it turned out but you must know that no matter what happens, my feelings toward you will never change, I will always be thinking of you, I will always love you, no matter how far away I am from you.

I love you so much it hurts.

Your

Bella.

I cried, tears coming from my eyes, my hands shook as I folded the letter, I shakily put it in the envelope. I put it in my empty locker, I looked around the lounge one last time. Edward's kiss to my lips still tingled on them, my hands could feel his touch, it was a weird feeling.

I sighed and walked out the hospital doors to my car, I looked back for the last time, I got in my car and left, leaving everything behind . . .
