Chapter 1

Bella P.O.V

Ever since my birthday party that Alice threw for me, that I didn't even want, Edward has been distant. I can't help but feel something big is going to happen.

I drove home and saw Edward at my house. I got out of my truck and saw something in his eyes I'd never seen before.

"Take a walk with me." he said.

I couldn't say no so I followed him. We walked for about five minutes before he stopped and turned to me.

"We're leaving." he stated.

"Why?" I asked.

"People are starting to wonder why we aren't aging." he said.

Then it hit me like a pound of bricks.

"When you say we?" I asked.

"I mean my family and myself. You can't come, I don't want you too." he said.

"Please don't." I begged.

"Your just another human and I'm tired of pretending to be something I'm not, I'm not human. I'll leave you now. Goodbye." he said and was gone.

Me being me I tried to follow him. Later that night I lay in the rain feeling worthless and abandoned. That's how Sam Uley found me. He took me home to Charlie.

I find myself wondering if this pain in my chest will ever leave because I don't think it will.

Edward left me a year ago and since then I have been best friends with Jacob Black. He has been ignoring me since my nineteenth birthday last week.

I was laying in bed trying to sleep when I head a rock hit my window. I got up and opened my window to see Jake.

"What the hell are you doing?" I whispered yelled.

"I have to show you why I've been ignoring you." he said and then exploded.

When I say exploded I mean literally. He exploded into a huge wolf. He's a wolf. He ran in the woods and came back human.

"I had to show you but I still can't be around you. You can't tell anyone about this either. I just had to show you." he said and left.

He just left after showing me he was a wolf. What the hell was I supposed to do. Am I really that big of a danger magnet?
