Bella's POV

Edward followed me into my house, closing the door quietly behind him. I glanced at his face as I leaned back against the kitchen counter. He had a hopeful look on his face, his eyes now showing the life they had been missing the past week.

"I didn't sleep with Jasper. We almost did...I won't lie to you but we were interrupted and in all honesty I'm happy about that. It would have been for the wrong reasons and I would have regretted it."

He let out a sigh of relief; a small smile touching his lips. He took a step towards me but I held my hand up in protest.

"Edward, I love you...I will always love you but this has to end. I can't do this anymore." My voice broke towards the end of my sentence as I took in his wounded expression. I had never seen a look change from happiness to despair in a single second until that moment.

"Bella...please say you don't mean that." He begged with desperation clear in his voice.

"I can't tell you that. It's over now Edward." I took a deep breath before saying the last part; my voice breaking again. "I'll miss you." He took two powerful steps across the small room and engulfed me in his arms.

"I will love you forever Bella. I will never forgive myself for this." He cried.

I looked up at him with tears glistening in my own eyes. "I will never forget you. I think I will probably love you forever as well, but it's time for me to try and move on now."

He nodded his head and pushed himself away from me.

"How am I going to stay away from you?" He didn't look at me, just stared at the tiles on the floor.

"I'm leaving. I'm going to go and stay with Renee."

His head snapped up immediately. "When?"

"As soon as possible. I'm going to talk to Charlie about it when he comes home. I don't know if I'm going for good, I might just go for a few weeks and let the dust settle. I just can't be here anymore...not now at least."

He sighed and rushed towards me crushing me in his embrace once more. He held onto me as though I was his source of life and pushed his lips to the top of my head. In the next moment he was opening the door; his back turned away from my small frame. "I will always want you to come back to me."

Then he closed the door and walked into the evening air, the sky clouding and darkening behind him.
