*Begin*

I did not want to wake up. Today was the day when everything in my life changed.

Today was the last day of school, June 15th. I didn't have to go to school if I didn't want too and I think I was just going to skip since I didn't have any friends left at school. Bella and the Cullen's graduated last week so I had been alone, and I hated it. I knew I already passed all my classes since report cards came out weeks ago.

We were supposed to go out to dinner before everyone left. Alice and Jasper were leaving early for school since they were going to get their own house, they were only staying until the end of the week for my birthday. They were going to go to the same school as Bella and Edward, except they were leaving at the end of the summer. I was going to miss them like crazy, but I knew I would see them on holidays.

I opened my eyes and turned over to face the man I would soon have to let go. Emmett was off to college at the end of the summer and there was nothing I was going to say or do to change his mind about going to a school that was closer to home. Our agreement was clear, I had until the end of August to be with him and then I had to live my own life and he would get to live his.

Of course, it didn't mean I would miss him any less, but he didn't need to know that. I had to put on the best acting job I ever did so that he didn't know how upsetting it was going to be to enjoy this last summer as his girlfriend, a year went by way too fast. I didn't want him to regret ever deciding to date me or think I was immature. He needed to be excited to go off to college, to act his own age for a change. At least we would remain friends and I would get to see him occasionally. But him bringing home a girlfriend was not something I was going to look forward too, no matter how happy I wanted him to be. The thought of him being with another woman drove me insane and I hoped the thought of me with another manmade him red with rage.

As if he sensed I was thinking about him, he opened his eyes and stared into my face. I didn't realize I was crying until his hands swept away a few wet drops.

"Why are you crying?" He softly kissed my lips.

"I'm officially done with this year and I'm just going to miss you, along with everyone else."

"I'll miss you too." His voice was ruff, and I didn't know if it was from waking up or if he was getting emotional.

"I know this was our deal, but I didn't think I'd love you like I did, and I didn't think this would be so hard." I pressed my forehead to his and closed my eyes. We had to get up soon or risk being caught half naked in here. Alice already said if I wasn't going to school then we were going to have a girl's day. She had also been texting me all morning threatening to come in here and drag me out by my hair.

"I will always be there for you. But we both need to see what is out there before we can even think of committing solely to each other for life. You will want things I can't give you and I want things that make me selfish. I love you Ariel and I know in a couple years this will seem stupid." He kissed my nose.

"Make love to me again. Make me forget about what will happen in a few weeks." I needed him even if we were up half the night doing exactly what I just asked him for.

"Ariel…I need to tell you something and I know this will probably hurt but…I have to go. I can't stay here anymore; I booked my flight yesterday and I have to be at the airport in a couple of hours." He got up from the bed and quickly changed into the outfit he had laid on the sofa.

It still amazing me that he was half vampire. I loved watching him zoom across the place and I loved how strong he was. I especially loved how I drove him insane, and it took everything in him to hold back because I was breakable.

"I thought you'd at least be here for my birthday. How could you do that Emmett after the plans we made?" I yelled as I stood up on the bed. I wrapped the blanket around me as I reached for his discarded t-shirt and boxers. If things turned ugly, I did not need anyone running in here to see my goods.

"And you don't think this is hard for me? Ariel this is killing me, but I have to do it. I have to go, and you have to live, live a full life without a monster like me to drag you down." I hated when he called himself a monster.

"You don't get to do that, to decide my future. Why can't you just see that I want you and I don't care if we have kids or if I'm stuck in this small town for the rest of my life. My parents are dead and all I have is my sister. I just need you Em."

"Well, I don't need you. You aren't my future and I need you to get that through your head." I knew he was lying but I was grateful that he was trying to hurt me so this pain would lesson. "You and I had an agreement and that ended the day I graduated so get over it and move on."

My sister and Alice came in and I bet Emmett told them I would need them. He took one last look a me before he left the room and took my heart with him. I collapsed into my sister's3

arms and cried, I cried because I knew it was over. My body wanted to go after him, but my head told me it would be pointless because he was going to leave anyway.

"Everything will be ok." Alice was hugging me from behind and she whispered the words in my ear, and I wondered if she had a vision or if she was just telling me anything so I would be ok.

"How do you know?" I cried.

"Because I saw it, everything will be ok. You just have to give it some time." I knew she was lying too since she couldn't see my future like she could everyone else.

So that is what we did, we gave it time. It didn't mean I didn't sit there crying in their arms as time flew by.
