Hey guys! So I've finally decided to write my first fanfic after a year of debating whether I should start one or not. Anyways this idea came to me during one night when I couldn't fall asleep after reading. Inspiration hit me suddenly and I formed an outline (for the most part) for this story. This will feature Bella and some of my favorite men from both Twilight and The Vampire Diaries. Bella will end up with someone eventually but I'm having fun with her until we get there. Big hint, he is part of the Vampire Diaries, initially at least, but you're going to have to wait to find out who. Sorry not sorry.

All characters from Vampire Diaries belong to L.J. Smith as well as all characters from Twilight belong to Stephanie Meyer. I own nothing.

A few WARNINGS before you start reading, if you choose to do so. There WILL be profanity AND sexy scenes. This story is strictly Rated MA. So if you are under 18, you should not read. Obviously there's no way I can physically stop you but word of advice, don't force yourself to grow up too fast. Enjoy your childhood while you have it. Next, I will be playing around with timelines and changing events that happened in both Twilight and The Vampire Diaries. Sooooo, I will not be following any story lines, especially from the Vampire Diaries. Oh and most characters will be very different, especially Bella.

Chapter 1

I can't believe he's leaving. That he had the nerve to break up with me as I lay on this damn hospital bed with a broken leg and god knows what else. I hadn't even seen the doctor yet to find out what was physically wrong with me.

When I woke up I realized Edward was standing at the side of my bed just staring at me. You think I'd be used to it by now, having him watch me sleep but this time it was different he wasn't looking at me the same. I tried to speak but my throat hurt too much, gesturing him for some water on the side table next to my bed. He turned and moved almost robotically to the side table to fill a cup with water... it was strange. He moved back to stand near me again and even the way he handed the cup to me were brusque and rough… Well that was rude. At least he was thoughtful enough to put a straw in it to make it easier for me to drink. I took a sip and I instantly felt relief. Unfortunately I only felt relief in my throat, the rest of me felt like I was hit by a truck. Scratch that, it was worse; I was beaten and tortured by a sadistic vampire who liked to play with his food. I was a lucky girl, really.

Drinking water soothed my throat enough to speak. "So what's the cover story?" I asked. I knew they didn't tell the doctors the truth but I needed to know what they told them so I could continue with the farce.

He looked at me with barely disguised disbelief in his face. I guess that he didn't think that would be the first thing that would come out of my mouth as soon as I woke up, but I needed to know. I'd have to answer appropriately when my father asked me what happened. I couldn't put him and our family in danger; I had to protect their secret.

"When you ran away back to Phoenix to meet your mom, you realized she wasn't home, you rented a room at a hotel. My family and I met you at your hotel to convince you to come back to Forks but you ran away from us. You ran down the stairs, tripped and fell through a window." He said, not an ounce of emotion on his face.

I had to make light of the situation quickly before he went into his infamous self-loathing moods. "Wow, that sounds dramatic and something that could totally happen to me. I'm both impressed and annoyed that people will actually believe that lie. So who had the honor of staging such a scene, Alice or Emmett? My money's on Emmett."

"Bella, I'm leaving."

"So soon? Ummm… Ok, can you get my doctor on the way out? Oh and have my parents been notified yet?"

"You do not understand Bella, my family and I are leaving Forks. After what happened I realized I'm too dangerous for you. I can't be with you anymore. I've already talked to my family and they agree. We're flying back to Forks in a few hours, packing our belongings and leaving."

To say I was shocked was an understatement. Was he really trying to break up with me as I lay here on a hospital bed with a broken leg, which was clearly visible as it was the only thing that was uncovered by this itchy hospital blanket, and who knows what other injuries. What the fuck is wrong with him? Focus Bella, convince him to stay, be calm… but I couldn't so I yelled. I was panicking; I don't even remember what came out of my mouth. He was surprised to say the least; he didn't expect me to say anything. I guess I was supposed to accept his departure quietly, like it was nothing. That wasn't me though, if I wanted something I went after it. I fought for the things and the people I loved no matter what.

When he realized I wasn't giving up on him he became exasperated, which quickly turned into anger.

"I lied, Bella. I don't want you and I don't love you. I was intrigued by your silent mind. I was curious about a human for the first time in my vampire existence but I've grown tired of you. When I said you were a danger magnet it was true. I was entertained for a while but now I realize you will always be a danger magnet and I don't want to be around to protect you all the time. That's why I didn't let the venom spread when James bit you. I can't imagine having to deal with you for eternity and my family doesn't want to either."

That stopped me. I saw it in his eyes. He was telling the truth, he wanted me to let go. Not only that but he wanted to hurt me, he wanted to break me…

Well Fuck. That! Something snapped in me, so instead of crying I yelled louder.

"Fuck You Edward!" I yelled, breathing heavily. "You know what? You are doing me a fucking favor. You are a selfish piece of shit and I'm sorry both you and I wasted our time with each other. At least you live forever and can make up for lost time. Unfortunately, I am human and that time wasted on you I will never get back. So please leave now before you keep doing so. I don't want to grow gray hairs as we continue with this meaningless conversation. I never want to see you or your bunny munching family ever again!" His eyes turned into black endless pits, he was angry.

I was finally scared of him.

After all of this time I finally understood why he said I should be scared of him. He was a monster. I couldn't believe I was about to die in the hands of my boyfriend… well my now officially ex-vampire boyfriend. I knew he was about to kill me, the good thing was he would make it fast. Well that is unless he decides to break me more than I already physically was, to mutilate my body as much as the way I imagined my heart to be, completely shattered. Suddenly the door opened and there stood Charlie, Renee, my doctor, I assumed, and my nurse. Immediately Charlie zeroed in on Edward and he was livid. For the first time in my life, my parents came together to save my life. Though it was unknowingly, still I think it counts.

Charlie's face turned red and used the most threatening voice I had ever heard him use. "Did you not understand me earlier, boy? I told you that you were not allowed to see Bella anymore and if I ever saw you again I'd forget I was chief of police and place a bullet in between your eyes!"

Edward quickly composed himself. "Don't worry Chief Swan. My family and I are moving as soon as we get to Forks. You'll never see me again." With that said, he turned and stormed out of the room. I was heartbroken, but I couldn't break down yet. I needed to stay strong. Listen to the doctor give me my prognosis and talk to my parents and explain my irrational behavior. Fuck! What mess did Edward and his stupid family leave me with. They were a bag full of dicks!

Apparently I was worse than I thought, a concussion, a broken leg, a sprained arm, broken ribs, and scratches and bruises all over my body. I was a mess. Fortunately the doctor told me I could leave in a few days, depending on how my concussion went, and left me to deal with my parental figures. Great!

Honestly, I don't know how I convinced my parents I was a stupid teenager who thought she was in love, overreacted and escaped Forks to run away from my love for Edward; much like my mother had done to my father in the past. Except I wasn't married and had no baby in my arms, thank fuck for that. I never gave my virginity to that cold dead body, not that he would've been able to impregnate me anyways. Vampires are sterile but imagine if they weren't. You know what, that's gross, so let's stop thinking about that. Children were definitely not on my list of things I wanted, especially a weird half human/half vampire monster. Imagine having a child in a world full of vampires and who knows what other creatures existed. I'm sure they're not the only ones out there. Hopefully I would never run into any other supernatural beings again, though with my luck, I wasn't very optimistic.

It was embarrassing having to play the stupid teenager card to get me out of trouble but at least it worked. They bought it and forgave me. No use in making my life harder when I was broken all over and it would take me months to recover. Apparently the injuries I suffered were punishment enough in their eyes. I got lucky.

A few days later I was discharged. My mom returned to Florida with Phil, where she had moved a couple months ago and forgot to tell me. Typical. We said our goodbyes to her at the airport and Charlie and I flew back to Forks. To be honest, I was surprised she even cared enough to come see me at the hospital after finding out I was injured. OR that she even managed to pick up the phone to receive the news. Since she'd never once called me after moving to Forks. Big surprise! Cue eye roll.

Once home, news quickly got out about my dramatic accident and subsequent bodily injury. I received phone calls from all my former friends from school and even some I don't even remember meeting. I was definitely more than surprised that they cared enough to call… either that or they just wanted the gossip. Who was I kidding, it was most likely the latter. But what really topped the cake was that a day after my arrival Angela knocked on the door and offered her help with anything I needed since she knew I wouldn't be able to get around. She knew Charlie would be limited in his capacity to help me, especially changing and showering so she offered me her services. I swear to god I did my best to hide my emotions from her but I have to admit that one tear fell out of my eyes. I knew she saw it but didn't comment on it. I couldn't believe she was there to help me during my time in need, especially since I basically rejected her friendship when I got with Edward. She came to me like an angel, much like her name. She made dinner for both me and Charlie, helped me take a bath and change into a comfortable pair of pajamas. We talked and I asked for her forgiveness. She gracefully accepted saying we could start all over again.

After she left that night I broke down, she shattered the perfectly placed shield I had surrounding my emotions with her kindness. I cried for the friends I lost, I cried for Edward and his family. My heart was broken and I knew it would take me a while to recover probably longer than my injuries would take. To recover from the cruelty of his words and the fact that not one of his family members came to say goodbye to me. I guess his family really was tired of protecting me. Of wasting their time on a poor human, a stupid human, a human not worth saying goodbye to. I didn't want it to hurt as much as it did but I couldn't deny that seeing them as my new family had somewhat filled a void that had been in my heart. A desire to be part of a family, and given the unconditional love parents should give their children. To be able to share that love with my siblings, and to be surrounded by the love and support they could provide. I thought I had finally found the family I was meant to be in all along. I thought they loved me, I thought they cared about me, but I guess I was wrong.

I really was just a stupid human.
