Chapter 1: The Departure

Four weeks passed since that night. Today at lunch, Edward asked if could come over, and I told him yes. I really hoped that maybe he would explain to me what was going on with him. And boy did he have some news for me!

Edward pulled up at my house around 4:30. When he came up to the front door I invited him inside, but he declined and asked me to take a walk with him.

"Ok sure, let me just get my sweater really quick, it's kind of chilly out here," I answered him before hurriedly retrieving my sweater from the kitchen chair that I threw it on when I got home. When I got outside I followed Edward, who was heading towards the woods that were across the street from my house. He stopped a little ways in and I almost fell on him when he stopped abruptly because the entire time we were walking, I kept my eyes on the ground, looking for any possible hazards for me to trip over; so I didn't see him in front of me. I righted myself, and then waited for him to speak.

"Bella, I can't see you anymore," Edward stated bluntly.

"Wha-wha-what?" was all I could muster in response.

"I'm moving, and so I'm breaking up with you. It would be cruel to the both of us to be in a long distance relationship where we couldn't see each other all the time. So I feel that it is for the best."

"When are you leaving?" I was finally able to ask.

"Tomorrow morning."

"And when exactly did you find out that you would be moving?" I questioned him.

"About like four weeks ago."

My heart dropped when I heard that. Four weeks ago? Did that mean he only had sex with me because he knew that he was leaving, and he didn't want to miss out? I sure thought so.

"You're an asshole Edward! Leave me alone, I hate you!" I yelled as angry tears fell down my face and clouded my vision. I fell to my knees on the cold forest floor. Edward approached me cautiously and kissed my forehead. I didn't try to fight him; I was far too mentally exhausted to do that.

I just kept my eyes shut. Edward left after he saw my response, or more like lack thereof. I just sat there, on the hard, cold forest floor, wallowing in my own self-pity, and I couldn't tell you for the life of me how long I stayed like that. It seemed like years.

I must have fallen asleep because when I opened my eyes again, I could see the light of a new day. My face was sticky with dried tears and my shirt and sweater had a dark salt stain down the front.

I found the strength to stand up, and started to walk towards the thinning in the trees. As I walked I thought of nothing, just focused on the ground in front of me and not falling. When I finally made it out of the woods, and to my house, I ran to the door and rang the bell. Our housekeeper, Anna, answered the door with a look of worry, then relief, then worry once more; I must have looked like quite the wreck, I knew I felt like one.

"Oh Miss Bella! Look at you! Are you alright?" Anna exclaimed in a rush whilst pulling me over the threshold and giving me a big hug. "Oh Miss Bella, I was so worried about you last night! I saw the note saying that you were going on a walk with your boyfriend, Mr. Edward, but then you didn't come back!"

I hesitated before answering. "Umm, I'll tell you about it later Anna, okay? Cause right now I really just need to take a shower and eat something," I told her in reply, "Do you think you can make me some eggs or something while I take a quick shower?"

"Of course Miss Bella, you go on right ahead and get yourself cleaned up," she ordered as she led me to the staircase. And with that, Anna walked into the kitchen to begin my breakfast, and I slowly trudged up the stairs.

I got into my bathroom; I turned the shower on and let the water run, to let it get hot. In the mean time I stared at my reflection in the mirror, observing my appearance. My hair was wild and tangled, with pieces of crushed up leaves here and there. My eyes were bloodshot and rimmed with red. My cheeks had black streaks down them from my dripping mascara, and I was covered in dirt. No wonder Anna had been so alarmed when she saw me.

After letting the water run for a few more minutes, I stripped down and got into the wonderful hot water; it wasn't until then that I realized that I had been cold. I let the water run over my back, releasing my sore muscles; sleeping on a hard, uneven ground will do that to you.

Once I felt like I was nice and clean, and relaxed- after washing my hair with my heavenly strawberry shampoo, and washing my face and body- I turned off the water, and stepped out of the tub. I wrapped my favorite fluffy purple towel around me, and wrung out my hair. I brushed my teeth quickly, and then left the bathroom, starting towards my bedroom.

I went about drying myself off completely, and finding something to wear. I decided upon a pair of really comfy gray sweats. As I was putting on my clothes, and blow-drying my hair, I let my mind wander. I felt like I was missing something, something really important.

I pushed the thought from my mind, telling myself it was just that I missed Edward. As soon as I thought the name I felt a few tears escape, but I quickly brushed them away, and set off downstairs, glancing in the mirror as I went, making sure that I didn't look like I had been crying.

I walked into the kitchen and hopped on one of the bar stools at the breakfast bar. With perfect timing Anna placed a plate of eggs, hashed browns, sausage links, and toast with jelly, in front of me. It smelled absolutely delicious and I dug in with much zest; Gin, I didn't realize how hungry I had been. As I was coming to the end of eating, Anna asked the question that I had sincerely hoped she had forgotten about.

"So Miss Bella, where were you last night?" she questioned me.

"Well, the note said I went on a walk with Ed…Edward right?" I stumbled over the name, "And so we went into the woods to talk about things, and…and…and…OH Anna! Edward broke up with me!" I cried, the tears falling freely. Anna rushed over to me and pulled me into a great big hug. "After he broke it off he left me all alone, and I was too heartbroken to move, and then I fell asleep in the woods."

"Oh Miss Bella, I'm so sorry you poor dear!" Anna exclaimed.

"I'm- sorry- I worried- you-so-much! I-should have- just come-home!" I told her in between sobs.

"No, no, no, no, no. It's fine sweetheart. Don't you worry about a thing. Here honey, let me fix you a nice cup of tea, while you go and take a nap. Go on, upstairs and into bed with you," she insisted as she lad me into my room.

Then she pulled back the covers and motioned for me to lie down. I did just that. Then she tucked me in and kissed my forehead. She left the room, turning the lights off, and closing the door.

I fell asleep thinking of how much Anna was more like a mom to me, than the actual woman who gave birth to me.

When I woke up a few hours later, there was a steaming mug of my favorite green tea: Cranberry Apple. I sipped the hot liquid and reveled in its warmth, and the wave of calm it brought over me. I began to think. I recalled what I had been thinking about earlier. I was trying to figure out what I was forgetting. "Think Bella, think!" And that's when I remembered.

"Oh shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!" I cursed outloud.

Damn, I am in some deep shit! Fuck my life!
