"Goodbye Bella"
"When I heard that I got my feelings in my body back, He's leaving, No I have to do something. I reached out"
"He wouldn't stay, there is nothing in this world that will make him stay,
" He disappeared in front of my nose, panic rises I couldn't believe he would just leave like that, after all we went through and all the moments we shared"
" No Edward" I cried and tried to see a glimpse of him as I tried following him into the forest"
" It was dumb, I just promised a second ago that I wouldn't do anything stupid yet here I am trying to keep up with a Vampire, but I didn't want to say goodbye yet"
" If only there was more time, If only If I could have one last night with him"
"No come back please!" I said wailing and I looked around in the middle of the forest where I was standing, It was dark, there was no moon that could illuminate my path.
"With trembling cold numb hands I reached for my cellphone, the flashlight app provided enough light to see thankfully, but Edward was gone."
" I looked around, It was quiet.. not even the crickets were chirping, Edward didn't look back, He must have heard my footsteps and pleading behind him but he didn't come back."
"Edward!" I pleaded but only my echo was heard hollering.
"I'm lost.. please.. help" I tried again, no sound or his voice responding back to my desperate plea"
" I stared at the endless darkness in front of me, nothing, he's gone"
" I breathed out painfully, I didn't want to believe he didn't love me but he rejected my proposal and didn't turn back even now that I'm lost in the forest disorientated, not knowing where I should go to get out of here"
" I became scared when there was nothing but fog and the branches obscuring more of the dark sky."
"There was still battery life left on my phone, I put it on power saving mode and find my way back, But I don't know where I was, which direction do I need to take"
" Desperately I call his name, hoping he's somewhere watching from a far, so see if I'm ok"
" Nothing, It was so cold that I seek shelter when it started to rain, I sat on the ground that remained dry, hugging my legs close"
" I couldn't reach my father, maybe when it becomes daytime, I can leave, My only hope is that my father or anyone else will ring my cell phone so that I can tell them my whereabouts" I felt so angry with myself, ever since I met Edward, I pretty much neglected my friends and they never called again.
"Hopefully one of them decides to call and give me an earful of how much of a terrible friend I am, I'll gladly take it. but please let someone call so that I can get out of here"
" I looked at my phone my hands trembled from the cold, I sobbed in fear, I'm so scared I don't even know If I'll see anyone I've ever known again"
"Please" I whimpered one last time while looking around, nobody was there trying to find me"
" I kept my phone close so that I can feel it buzz, hopefully help is on it's way"

Bella fell asleep, despite managing to rest she was scared and alone,
Something was pushing her against the back, Bella was opening her eyes and looked behind her,
"Edward? Bella smiled as her heart thumped with relief but trembled when that thing that was pushing her wasn't Edward or anyone else from Forks.
Bella screeched when she noticed a large bear sized wolf close to her she backed away and cowered.
The large wolf took steps forward and Bella wanted to grab a handful of grass, " No stay back!" Bella said and threw chunks of grass at it.
it hit the wolf in the face and arched an eyebrow grumbling a bit annoyed. "NO!" Bella cried tearful fearing that she'll be a snack.
A swift bite to the neck and Bella would be done for but the Wolf watched her and waited until she stopped screaming,
When Bella eyed him anxiously the Wolf sat down like it tried to appear much smaller.
Then it laid on his stomach with his tail up swaying back and forth like he wanted to play or tell her that he means no harm.
Bella looked into the creature's eyes, it was like it knew her, those orbs were so gentle, it was like love radiates from them. Like a wolf reunited with a lost cub.
trying to be as cute and less intimidating as possible for her.
even those cute whimpering grunts a puppy dog makes was heard from such a large animal.
"You're not here to eat me right?" Bella wondered.
The large wolf rolled it's eyes letting out a grunt, Bella was amazed, did this wolf just rolled it's eyes at her?
" Friend or foe?" Bella asked pretending she's not convinced.
it moved its head to the side to keep making eye contact with her, It let out a bark and the tongue darted back and forth similar to a hound.
Bella couldn't help but sigh in relief shrugging her shoulders. this animal understands what she's saying. it was amazing.
carefully Bella reached out her hand and gave the head a pat, gently caressing it's fur, the wolf closed it's eyes leaning into her touch.
" Thank you, wolf," Bella said, abruptly he stood up and Bella flinched.
The wolf turned It's back on her and looked at her over it's shoulder, he barked and walked away.
"Wait, don't leave me behind" Bella said and hurried after the wolf for protection.
Bella held on to it's fur and leaned in, carefully the wolf brought her to the right path.
" I would like to ask if you Are you a male or a female " Bella asked breaking the silence. " One growl yes, two growls mean no."
"Are you female? Bella asked and the wolf growled once.
" You're a boy" and she heard two growls.
" Well I'm glad you are here, thank you for making sure I'm safe" Bella said caressing his fur. The wolf seems not to mind that as Bella felt body tremble as he let out growls.
" You know the wolf has always been my spirit animal so maybe this is a great sign great things will happen in life" Bella said optimistic.
the wolf brushed his head against her shoulder.
Bella looked at the wolf when he made himself smaller, a low growl came from the stomach like he wanted something.
"Oh I should climb on your back?" Bella asked and the wolf howled in response. Bella smiled at the cute bark and she held on her arms around the animals' shoulders.
When the wolf got up she firmed her grip, and the wolf increased speed like she was riding a horse.
this has to be a dream," Bella thought. " There is no way a real wolf would help her, instead she would be mauled alive, Wolves never travel alone so more of them should be around, She doesn't want to wake up from this dream.
This Wolf makes her feel so happy, like a soft pillow. Wondering if the Wolf also had a name.
they reached to an area with street lanterns where her car is parked, Bella felt her eyes sting with tears. she thought she's going on a date with Edward, but this was just to break up with her. 'Oh Edward, why did you had to leave? why didn't you search for me?' Bella wonders as tears splashed on the wolf.
Her car came in sight, she's safe now and nothing more than take a hot shower to make numb feeling all over her away.
Carefully Bella climbed off its back, she went to her car.
Bella looked behind her and the large wolf was no longer with her.
He's gone.
Bella entered her car, locking her door and when the engine trembled, she looked at the time, thank goodness it wasn't very late.
It won't be long until Charlie comes home, She didn't cook anything for dinner so she collected herself and ordered Pizza and have it delivered to his workplace.
She did that before when she came home around dinner time when she came back from a date with Edward, So Charlie won't suspect anything for now.
She couldn't be bothered to talk about her break up right now, she just wants to forget about everything.
Bella's vision blurs as she went to her room, she opened the door and noticed something was different, the temperature was colder.
And her things were gone, she walked to her desk and a tiny sticky note was present,
Her handwriting was mimicked very well, she knew she didn't write that.
' I'm having a walk with Edward in the forest, brb
Bella' Was written.
Edward probably knew she would be dumb enough to follow him so he left a note before meeting me to break things off. But it's not because he cares about her.
He did it for Charlie's sake, and so that nobody will grow suspicious of the Edward If she goes missing. At least he got that problem solved for good.
There is no reason for him to return to Forks. She felt strange she didn't unleash her rage and cried hysterically like she would have If Edward decided to leave her.
But she was at ease, the pain was still there throbbing, but her broken heart felt half of it was already gluing back together.
"Could it be the mysterious Wolf? Maybe it felt my sorrow and tried to numb the pain so that I can survive?" Bella wonders.
Because when Edward said he didn't want her it felt like she died on the spot, She wouldn't have tried to get out of the forest, she would just let herself fall on the ground waiting for death.
Bella walked towards the window to see If the Wolf followed her, It was quiet.
Bella went downstairs staying close to the patio of her house, the dark forest seemed like a barrier. She won't be able to find Edward without getting lost.
She stood there listening, hoping she would see him, to maybe just a welfare checkup. she kept hoping that Edward shows a sign that he still loves her.
That it was all a misunderstanding, or better yet a ridiculous nightmare.
Saddened and defeated Bella closed her eyes briefly and looked at the forest,
" Goodbye Edward"
