After Edward went away, I relaxed more. It was comforting that he at least knew one thing about our old life.
In the morning, we all went hunting.
I was holding on to the tree tightly, looking down on a mountain lion. It creped along the floor quietly, not knowing what was coming to it.
I jumped down, heading straight for it. I gave one quick bite on it's neck, giving it a quick painless death. I drained it of it's blood, feeling even better. Then a feeling of total happiness washed over me.
"Nice." I looked up to see Jasper leaning against the tree.
"Stop it." I said, knowing it was him who was making me feel happy.
"Well, I felt your emotions yesterday and you thought about heading for the Volturi. Again."
"Oh yeah."
"So, I am going to be keeping a close eye on you." He said, pointing to his eyes and then pointing to me.
I gave a quick laugh, which surprised me. I hadn't laughed in awhile.
He smiled, and disappeared into the forest.
Then, someone else came out. Edward.
"Hey." I said, casually.
"Hey. So, I have been causing you a lot of problems, haven't I?'
I hesitated. "Yeah."
"One of those problems being you wanting to kill yourself." He clarified.
"Yeah." I got up.
"I'm sorry." He said, sounding like he really meant it.
I nodded back, and walked back to the house.
***
Three weeks passed.
No more things to get excited about.
I closed my eyes and relaxed against the bed.
"Ugh, Edward!" I heard Kathy yell.
"I'm sorry!"
"Whatever, I'm leaving." A door opened and then slammed. I heard him sigh, and a plop against the bed.
Gaining all my courage, I got up. I glided to his room, and hesitated at the knob.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Yeah?" I heard him say.
"It's me."
"Oh."
"Can I come in?"
Silence.
"Edward?'
"Later, please."
My heart sunk. Now there were two of us disappointed.
"Oh. Sorry." I walked back to my room and sat down.
The next morning, Edward was silent. No Kathy. It was plain to see that they had broken up.
"Edward? What happened?" Esme asked
"Kathy got mad at me."
"Why?"
He ignored the question, and walked back upstairs.
Esme sighed and went back to organizing her papers. I walked out and sat on the front porch.
"Don't try to get back together with him." I heard Alice say.
"Why?" I asked, letting myself get even more depressed.
"This isn't to happy of ending for you. But it actually is, in a way."
"How?"
"Kathy comes back," She said, "But with her brother. You, well, get married to him."
"What?!"
"That's just what I saw."
"But… I… No."
"Sorry if you don't like it that way. Anything could change, but right now? Your future is getting remarried to him."
