Chapter 26

BPOV

I bided my time. I patiently waited for an opportunity. I never thought about it. I knew she had been watching my every move.

A loner, a shadow of my previous self, haunted by nightmares and the pain.

Weeks went by. I waited. In the background. Avoiding. Hurting. Wanting. Chastising. Struggling.

And then the opportunity came.

I had to be fast and thorough about it. They never came to school that Friday. He never waited for me on the tree line. Charlie was already at work. He had a double shift today because his deputy's wife had a baby.

I knew the Cullens must have gone to Alaska. Otherwise he would have waited, like he did every day, no matter the weather. Or at least they were out of town.

I picked the blade. Carefully, I assessed our kitchen knives. I took the one I used for slicing. And then it hurt. And I smelt the blood. The metal, acidic smell. And it trickled. In our kitchen, with a view of the backyard.

I whispered the truth then; there was no point in hiding: 'I love you.' A lone tear fell from the corner of my eye. And then darkness took over.


This was one hard chapter to write...
