A/N: Okay this chapter is really short, there were some problems uploading yesterday (I thought it was added to the last chapter and I didn't look as I just wrote the bottom part asking for reviews) so, I'm sorry! My fault! Hope you guys enjoy though!
Alice screamed after Edward, but she knew what it was like when you couldn't control it. Everyone, including Rosalie, was standing in an instant, but they weren't quick enough. All they could see was Edward being thrown back and hitting the coffee table as he landed. It shattered underneath him and Jasper was suddenly crouched in front of him. He had thrown Edward back in an effort to protect Bella. Amidst the commotion, Carlisle slipped into Bella's room and closed and locked the door behind him. He knew a lock wouldn't be able to keep any of them out, but he needed time to clean her up. She was still sleeping peacefully on the ground, unfazed by everything that was happening around her. He gently picked her up and placed her back into her bed and got to work on cleaning everything up.
Jasper and Emmett dragged Edward out of the house and deep into the woods, he needed to hunt. They hunted with him, even though both had hunted earlier that day. Once they had all gotten their fill, they joined back up, but didn't return to the house yet. Edward sat there silently, his head in his hands. Jasper could feel his emotions stronger than anything he had felt before.
Stop it, Edward. You are not a monster; we have all had problems controlling it.
Edward chuckled bitterly at Jasper's thoughts. Jasper was the one that had the hardest time with this, but he wasn't the one that could have killed her tonight. Jasper was actually the one to protect her. How could he not feel like a monster?
"Edward, it affects you different because her blood calls to you. In ways that it doesn't call to any of us," Jasper said quietly.
Before coming to live with the Cullen's, Jasper was with another coven of vampires, but they drank human blood. They didn't have Carlisle's views on only drinking animal blood. He had grown used to that, but once Alice found him, he changed. He took on the "vegetarian diet" that the Cullen's showed him. Since then, it had always been a huge struggle for him to resist feeding on any humans, but he did it. Only once did he slip and kill someone.
Carlisle had explained to him that there were times when you couldn't help the bloodlust. Where the human's blood was too strong and it called to you in such a way that you couldn't stop yourself even if you tried. The person is called your "singer" and that's what Bella was to Edward.
"I'm leaving," Edward said, not looking at either Jasper or Emmett.
Come on Edward, you can't leave. Think of Esme and Carlisle. And what about Bella? It would kill her if you left. Emmett winced, knowing he shouldn't have thought that particular word.
"It would kill her if I stayed!" Edward yelled, moving past them. Both Jasper and Emmett begged him to stay as they made their way back to the house. Alice had already seen his decision and was waiting for him when he returned.
"You're leaving," She said quietly. She was obviously upset. Edward nodded silently.
"You are the only person I can trust to do this for me. I will stay in contact, but I will only speak with you. You are the only one that can block her out of your mind. I don't want to see her, I don't want pictures of her, and I don't want you to let me know how she is doing," Edward said. Jasper could feel the desperation, anger, and utter shame Edward felt.
"Edward," Alice began.
"It will hurt me too much. I cannot be responsible for anything bad happening to her, it would kill me. Please, Alice. I am begging you," Edward was pleading. Alice couldn't say no, because she would feel the same way if it had been her in Edward's place.
"I promise." She said. He hugged her quickly, and went into the house telling the rest of his family goodbye. Everyone tried again to stop him. He remained quiet and shook his head lightly. He wasn't going to change his mind.
Edward grabbed his keys and gathered a few of his things into his silver Volvo and returned to the house once more. He hesitated near Bella's door knowing that he wouldn't see her again. If he had a heart capable of breaking, it would be.
Tell her goodbye. Edward shook his head at Jasper's thought.
"It will end up hurting her more than helping," Edward sighed.
Then don't wake her, but at least go in there one last time. You will regret it if you don't. Do you want me to go in there with you, just in case? Jasper asked once he noticed Edward's hesitation. Edward looked down in shame and nodded.
Together they entered her room quietly, both watching as she slept peacefully. Her dark hair was all around her face, and her cheeks were tinted pink; Edward was going to miss that. He didn't move for a few minutes, he just watched her sleep. Then he sighed and slowly made his way to her bed. He leaned down and kissed her lightly on her forehead.
"Take care of her," He whispered to Jasper. Jasper nodded once, and with that, Edward was gone.
I swear the next one will be longer! Review please! :) Thanks!
