Author's note: I know it must be irritating that I started this a few weeks ago and I'm barely on the 3rd chapter, but like I said, bear with me. I'm trying to write chapters between essays and schoolwork, plus I have a new puppy to take care of. )

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, settings, etc. of the book Twilight/New Moon. The original characters and plot are the property of the brilliant Stephenie Meyer.


Edward brushed past Alice, slightly annoyed that she saw what he had been planning to do.

He began hastily putting things in a bag for the sheer point of just having something to keep his hands busy.

"Edward, please stop!" Alice cried.

"What did you see?" Edward demanded.

"Different things...You stayed...You left..." she started.

"And Bella?" Edward asked.

Alice was silent for a moment. "You're going to break her heart." She finally said.

Edward closed his eyes and sighed heavily.

"I know..." he whispered.

"Then why are you even considering leaving?" Alice asked.

"I'm leaving for Bella's sake. She needs to experience life and love without me holding her back. Real life. She can't live in darkness, Alice; She's not one of us. I can't even go into the sun with her in public...I can't do a lot of things with her...It's for the best," he said.

"Carlisle and Esme?" Alice asked.

Edward shook his head. "They can't persuade me otherwise."

"When will you tell her?" Alice questioned.

"Tomorrow. After school." He replied.

Alice turned and walked out of the bedroom. Edward sat on his bed and buried his face in his hands. Tomorrow would be the hardest thing he would ever have to endure.


I know this was pretty much a filler chapter, but there will be more to come, I promise!
