BPOV

"Goodbye Isabella," Edward said and then walked out the door.

As soon as it shut behind him I fell to the floor in tears.

Yes, I did eventually pick myself up off the floor but it did take a while. Why had Edward kissed me? It was unexpected to say in the least. I had brought this situation on myself but I thought it was for the best. Then, Edward comes out of nowhere with a mind blowing kiss. I thought it would be best if we took a break. I thought Edward needed a break and needed to do this on his own. But when he kissed me it seemed otherwise. Now, I was confused and distraught over the entire situation. Would I ever get my Edward back?

EPOV

As soon as I shut the door behind me I stopped and let out a long breath, pulling my hair in my hands. It took everything in me not to yell and throw or kick things around me in a vicious fit. To say I was frustrated would be an understatement. When I heard Bella's sobs it took even more control not to turn around and comfort her. It was her decision and I would respect her wishes even if it tore me apart. I needed to be strong, I had to be. The only thing I could do was to walk away from the temptress on the other side of the door and pull myself together.

As I drove home I was in deep thought. I knew Bella was beautiful. I knew I was attracted to her. I knew that in some point in my life she was the other half to my heart. Summer was not supposed to break a mans heart. Summer was supposed to be for love. How could one person seem to end another life by such simple words? I drove and continued to think about the situation as I tried to hold my anger inside. It wasn't so much as anger as sadness but I wouldn't let myself be sad, so at some point my heart changed to a black rock. It was impenetrable, a solid abyss.

When I did arrive home I trudged into my house, my shoulders slumped and head hanging low.

"Edward? What's wrong dear," Esme asked me. Well, nothing I could do to hide it now. I pulled myself up and masked my emotions. I couldn't let Esme see me upset.

"Nothing," I said and I tried to smile but I believe it came out as a grimace.

"Edward Anthony do not lie to me."

"Really Mom, I'm fine," I said. I was such a liar. I waited for Esme to dismiss the issue but she didn't. Instead she stood there, giving me the look.

I cracked, "Bella and I have decided to take some time apart to start over and be friends." I tried to make my voice strong but it was impossibly shaky. At that point the front door opened and in came Carlisle. Just what I needed, my father. Yes I loved him but I couldn't handle the situation right at this moment.

Carlisle took one look at Esme and I, both with solemn expressions on our faces, and asked, "What is going on here? Edward?"

"Look its really not a big deal okay? Bella and I have decided to just be fiends," My voice was much louder than I meant for it to be, "Look I'm going to bed. Goodnight." I kissed Esme on the cheek and nodded at Carlisle before heading toward the stairs. I was about halfway up when I heard Carlisle and Esme talking about me. This went against all my ethics but I was unnaturally curious.

"Carlisle what do you think of this situation?" Esme's voice wafted toward me.

"I see that he's upset and undoubtedly, Bella is too. But I also think this is their own choice."

"I don't want to interfer with them but Edward is my son and I hate to see him upset. I see Bella as a daughter also. I don't want either of them in this situation. It was hard enough on Bella losing Edward once during the accident but I don't know how she will hold up losing him twice."

"Esme, there is nothing we can do. Edward is smart and he will figure this out on his own."

That was all I heard. I went quickly and quietly up to my room. I could take no more of this. Bella and I were apart but I was finding myself agreeing it was for the best even though, just moments before, I was devastated.

Somehow, my subconscious talked me into believing friendship was the best idea. Perhaps it was Esme and Carlisle's conversation. Maybe it was me. Maybe it was everyone pushing me to be with Bella. Maybe, just maybe, it was actually me agreeing with Bella's decision from the beginning.

I found myself agreeing that being only friends was the best thing. Maybe we could start over. The future was currently undecided but I had had enough of pushes from outside forces. This was mine and Bella's decision only and for now, the best decision.

BPOV

The more I thought about it the more I found myself agreeing with my original decision. At first it had only been on a whim but now I trusted in myself. Edward and I would start over like normal people do things. No, Edward and I were never normal, our love was beyond that, but now outside forces had no more say in the matter. We would do this of our own accord.

I was upstairs in my room thinking this over when I fell asleep.

The dream stole away reality from me. It took me to the past. The love Edward and I had when it was new. We were happy and always together. My dream replayed everything that had happened, even the accident, everything up until present day. But what I wasn't ready for… was the future.

It hit me hard as a rock in this dream. Edward never appeared once in my dream. Nor was Alice, Jasper, Rose, or Emmett. I was alone yet not alone. There were people around me yet none of them familiar. It took me down many paths. Then I was constantly with this one faceless, nameless, stranger. He seemed familiar, yet different.

The stranger and I went on many outings. I realized we were on a campus of some sorts. The scenes changed but I was always with this man. Restaurants, group outings, at one point even a beach. Yet I recognized no one.

Edward was usually the star in my dreams but he did not appear in the unknown of my dream. I was saddened at this. Edward was not the man that I was always with.

When I awoke I expected the tears to flow over mine and Edward's separation but nothing came. I stared at the ceiling and thought of what the future would hold for the once love of my life.

Alright who here is sad? I know I am!
What do you say everyone? I want to know!
