A/N: After all the reviews I received I couldn't just leave the story there after one chapter! So...I decided to go ahead and post the second one! I hope you guys are okay with who I picked Bella to call :) Dont forget to R & R!


Previously...

"I'm so sorry Bella. I thought we could get past it. I just didn't want to lose you." He pleaded trying to get me to understand.

And I did. I understood perfectly.

"You already did. Just go." I said turning away from him. I couldn't stand the sight of his flawless face. Every time I looked at him I couldn't help but picture Alice's small limbs tangled with his, her face pressed to his.

"Please don't do this. Bella I love you, not anyone else." He begged making the tears fall harder.

"Please Edward. Just go, for me. I need time to think." I said and then I heard the house door shut and I knew I was alone, for a little while at least...

I stumbled to the bathroom and didn't bother to lock the door. He'd just force his way in if he wanted to. Digging through Edward's suitcase I found the spare phone he kept there. Why he would need a spare I had no idea. I opened the phone and dialed the only number I felt I should.

"Hello?" The voice asked answering after only the second ring.


"Hello? Edward? What is so important that you just had interrupt your honeymoon to call? Bella probably isn't very happy..." The musical voice trailed off.

"It's not Edward." I managed to say, my voice sounding weak even to my own ears.

"Bella? Are you crying? What's wrong?"

"I need to leave." I said quietly as silent tears streamed down my face.

"Did something happen? Where's Edward?"

"We're f-fine. Please I just can't stay here. Is there a way for me to come back early?" I pleaded my voice breaking.

"Of course. Carlisle is getting a flight scheduled as we speak. Are you and Edward okay? Did you guys have a fight?" The voice asked timidly, sounding concerned.

"Just hurry please." I responded unable to say the truth out loud to someone else just yet. I was still trying to wrap my own mind around that fact that Edward and I were over.

"The flight leaves in an hour. But Bella...I just want you to know that no matter what happens...you'll always be my sister." Rosalie admitted quietly almost bringing a smile to my face.

"Thanks Rosalie. And could you meet us at the airport alone. I don't want anyone else to come." I whispered hoping she would agree without asking questions.

"Of course Bella." She said making me sigh in relief before I thanked her again and hung up.

What was I going to do when Edward returned? I had to get him to drive the boat back to the city to get to the airport. Would he even drive me there? What If he didn't? Would I have to stay for the remainder of this pathetic almost honeymoon?

"You're leaving."

I tensed hearing Edward's voice from the door to the bathroom.

"You were listening." I stated, annoyance filling my tone.

"We don't have to leave Bella. We rented out this place for the week. We could just stay here and figure this out." Edward pleaded, ignoring my comment completely, and only succeeding in further annoying me.

"There's nothing to figure out." I said decidedly.

I wasn't going to let it go just because he was sorry. Sorry couldn't take back the fact that he cheated on me! Sorry couldn't make me go back to him! Sorry couldn't take back that night! Sorry couldn't fix anything!

"Bella please just think about this before-"

"I have thought about it! Edward, you broke my heart. And it's not like this is the first time either!" I yelled, angry tears gathering in my eyes.

He froze. "I am so sorry Bella." He said the pain evident in his voice and face. "So, so sorry for what I've done. I didn't mean to...to hurt you again."

"Whether you meant it or not, it happened." I said lowering the volume of my voice at the sound of his remorse. "And Edward you want to know what hurts the most?"

He nodded incapable of speech at this point. It was odd, I'd never seen a vampire speechless before this moment.

Then a thought hit me, making me laugh sardonically, startling Edward with my sudden change in emotion. "It's ironic really, but a while back when we were in my room after returning from Volterra, I was so afraid that you would leave again; but, this time it's me who's leaving." I said, no tears falling this time. I had cried all my tears out. All that is left is the cold reality of what is.

Edward stared at me his mouth open slightly in shock at what I was saying. In that moment I knew that if vampires could cry, Edward would be right now. And as much as I hate to admit it, I was glad. Glad that I wasn't the only one suffering. Glad that I wasn't the only one losing something in this relationship.

"Are you sure you want to go back to Forks now?" He murmured his dark golden eyes burning into my brown ones.

I nodded and started for where the boat was docked.

"Your stuff?" Edward asked curious to why I hadn't grabbed my bag to bring back.

"I don't want it." I said quietly, knowing he would hear as I continued towards my way back home.

I didn't want to bring anything back to Forks that would remind me of this horrible night. I didn't want anything that would remind me of what was supposed to be one of the best weeks of my life. It should have started tonight with Edward and I joining as one physically and ended in seven days with me changing into a vampire. Instead, it was over before it really began.

Edward helped me into the boat and I immediately moved to the back as he drove us to the city that was closest to Isle Esme. I turned and watched as the island that I first thought of as beautiful grew smaller in the distance.

My fingers tightened the hand-rests in a death-grip as the plane made its descent towards Seattle. I had asked Rosalie if she could be waiting there with a car. I wanted to be away from Edward as soon as I could; I wasn't sure how long I could compartmentalize my emotions.

As soon as the plane landed and the passengers were allowed to stand I made a beeline for the exit, surprisingly not tripping once. Edward, of course, was right beside me just in case I fell. Which was the main reason I was relieved not to trip; I didn't want his arms around me.

When I saw Edward's body tense and his head snap suddenly to the right in surprise, I knew he had realized Rosalie was here to meet us. He immediately looked down at me with hurt covering his features, but I purposely didn't make eye contact as I started towards Rosalie.

"I'm giving Bella a ride home." She said quietly, venom clear in her tone and eyes, knowing he would still hear. "You can meet us at the house in the Volvo or not. I don't really care."

"You already told her?" Edward asked me making me pause before responding.

"No, actually she doesn't know anything yet. I just didn't think I could stomach sitting next to you like everything was fine and you didn't just destroy our sham of a marriage." I said coldly, not needing to look at him to know my words would cause him to flinch.

When I reached Rosalie, she wrapped her cool arm around my shoulder comfortingly and we walked to her car.

In that moment I couldn't help but think that maybe, with my family, that everything would be okay.


A/N: I know they took a private plane to Isle Esme- i think- but they took a commercial flight back because I wanted them to. lol THANKS FOR READING! Jasper in next chapter guaranteed!
