Edward tries to leave, but Bella fights for him

"We are leaving." Edward says and I nod a little.

"Okay, I'll write a note to Charlie and take some stuff. Are we leaving now or in a few days?" I ask and his eyes turn darker. "When you say we…" I say hesitantly and he sighs.

"I mean me and my family." He says and I shake my head in denial.

"Edward you can't leave me…" I start but stops as he opens his mouth.

"I don't want you to come with us." He says and I study him closely. He seems determined but there is also something hidden behind his eyes.

"Edward…" I start but he interrupts me with a finger on my lip.

"No Bella. I am sorry but I don't love you. You were just a distraction and I let it go on for too long." He says and I shake my head and grab his arm tightly as he turns to leave.

"No Edward." I plead but he continues moving away from me, pretending not to notice me hanging in his arm. I lose my grip as he walks faster into the woods and as soon as my hands leave his arm he disappears in vampire speed. "EDWARD I'M SICK!" I yell as I sit down on the ground.

"What did you say?" He says suddenly right beside me and I look up with tears in my eyes.

"I'm sick." I whisper and he kneels in front of me, caressing my cheek.

"How?" He whispers and I take a deep breath.

"I have Multipel skleros." I whisper and he pulls me into his arms, holding me tightly. He is suddenly running with me in his arms and I look slightly confused at him but just relax against him.

"How bad is it?" He asks as he runs and I shrugg a little.

"They don't know, it depends on how aggressive it is. They think my first symptoms are my clumsiness but it becomes worse in periods." I say and he hugs me tighter and suddenly we are in Carlisle's office. Carlisle looks up surprised from his work and then he hurries towards us when he sees our expressions.

"Are you hurt?" He asks as he probes my head gently and I chuckle.

"I'm not hurt, Carlisle." I say and he smiles relieved.

"I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions." He says and walks back to the chair behind his desk.

"I think Edward wants me to tell you about something I have kept secret…" I say and look questioning at Edward who nods.

"What is it, Bella?" Carlisle asks and I sigh.

"I have MS. I got the diagnosis right before I moved to Forks… it's mainly why I'm so clumsy." I say and he looks worriedly at me.

"It's not very aggressive I hope?" He asks and I smile slightly.

"We don't know yet, but since I only become slightly worse during my bad periods it doesn't seem as it is. The last month or so I have noticed I feel more pain and my muscles are stiff… I planned on telling you tomorrow but since you planned on leaving I thought you might have wanted to know." I say and Carlisle nods.

"Do you have any medicines?" He asks and I shake my head.

"Edward, can you put me down?" I say and he furrows his brows a little but does as I say. I get seated opposite from Carlisle and sigh as I look at Edward again. "Edward leave us alone for a while… I need to talk to Carisle alone." I say and he opens his mouth to argue but Carlisle glares at him and shakes his head. Edward sighs but then he disappears.

"Now he can't hear anymore." Carlisle says after a few seconds and I sigh and look at him.

"When are you leaving?" I ask and he sighs gently.

"Tonight, but Bella we won't leave you now when we know this." He says. I sigh and look tiredly at him.

"Why not? If you could leave me when I was healthy why wouldn't you leave me now?" I ask and he walks around the desk and gets seated in the chair next to me, taking my hand gently.

"We didn't want to leave you, but Edward felt you weren't safe in our world. When Jasper attacked you-"

"But we all know I am more dangerous to myself! Carlisle! I count on you and the others to drag Edward out of his goddamned mind and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid! Do you know what he told me!" I yell as I stand up abruptly. He looks taken aback at my tone but shakes his head. "He told me he doesn't want me, that he doesn't love me! That I was just a distraction!" I yell and his face becomes harder.

"I'm sorry, Bella. I didn't know he would say that. I do promise you that he loves you." He says calmly and I sigh deeply.

"I know." I mutter as I sit down and cross my arms stubbornly.

"We won't leave you, Bella." He states and I just nod a little.

"Yeah, I know, but you had still planned on it." I say and he smiles sadly and nods.

"We had." He confirms and I sigh again.

"You better not even think about leaving me again. You are my family. I see you as my dad more than I do Charlie." I say and his eyes fill with venom tears and he pulls me into his arms.

"You are my daughter and you will always be, Bella. We all love you so much, you're our family." He cooes into my ear as he rocks me.
