Empty Promises, Broken
Ch 8-Always remember, I LOVE YOU
Bella POV
I was numb. It was my human memories all over again. I know it was for him too. I sunk to the floor and crumpled up into a little ball right in front of their eyes. I was devastated. No actually I was so much more than that but there wasn't any words to describe how I felt at that point. Edward saw this and quickly swept me up into his arms. He tried to soothe me.
'Shhh, Bella, It's okay. It'll be alright.'
'How could you say that? Of course it won't be they're tearing us apart again!'
I could feel sudden anger boiling up inside of me.
'How could you guys do this to me? You're supposed to be helping me and help me get better not killing me! What kind of sick joke is this? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MY FRIENDS! Doesn't that mean anything anymore? Don't you understand at all? I LOVE EDWARD! Now let's get over it and MOVE ON! Jenny, Josh you have to understand, please. I mean seriously at first I know I objected to you two being together but then I saw how happy you two were together and I let you be. Can't you do that for me? Is this payback or something? Is that too much to ask? To let me be with Edward?'
I was dry sobbing at this point.
'Please? For me?' I added hoarsely. But they had no reply.
Finally Josh spoke up.
'Regardless, we're still leaving. I'm sorry Bella.'
'No you're not Josh.' I snapped putting as much venom as I could into my words.
'Besides I'm the leader so what I say goes.'
I knew it was pointless to point that out because we had rules. Majority rules but the leader had the final word. Unless the majority voted against what the leader wanted. In this case, I being the leader was ruled out. But I still tried. I thought of every excuse I could to stay here. Nothing came up. They want to tears us apart. I had never felt so betrayed in my entire life- existence at all.
I was shocked.
'Let's go Bella. We're moving today.' Brett said. But I didn't move. I just couldn't. Eventually he had to pick me up and carry me out of the Cullen's house. I could see that they all had faces of sadness as I went out of their house. The last faces I saw were Alice and Edward. Alice's face was sad and hurt. Edward's was hurt, sad and in pain.
Brett talked idly about things while he still had me over his shoulder and carrying me to the car. Jenny drove this time. I didn't even comment on her driving though. I didn't even answer Brett when he talked to me. I just looked out the window.
'It'll be okay Bella. We're going to live in Spain. We'll live in Segovia, Madrid, Seville, Toledo, Valencia, Cordoba, Barcelona, and Murcia you can pick. Where ever makes you happy! How's that sound?' Jordyn was speaking to me like I was a baby again.
It was annoying but I didn't do anything about it. I never answered. We got home. Apparently, everyone was already packed. Brett put me down hesitantly. He probably thought that I would run but I didn't. I just slunk like a doll. I guess in a way that's like how I was. A doll; lifeless and not entirely there. I'm nto sure how long I was there but this time Josh picked me up.
He took me to the car. I was acting like this for many reasons. Three main ones were I was too shocked and hurt to move, I wanted them to suffer on behalf of me, and I wanted to be left alone. Everyone was worried about the state I was in. 'You okay Bella?' Josh of all people asked me. I didn't answer but I just looked out the window. I could've sworn I saw Edward. I turned on my mind reading power and tried to talk to him.
'Edward? You there?'
'Yes Bella, love I'm here. Are you okay?' he answered. I was about to say fine but I knew he saw me back at his house so I went with being honest.
'No, I'm not. I'm sorry Edward.'
'It's okay love. It's not your fault.'
'Edward,
stay with me please.'
'I can stay with you until you're
about 300 miles away from me.'
'Stay with me until then please.'
'Of course Bella.'
We went like this for some time when I realized I was at the airport. Brett helped me walk up until the airplane terminal. I walked to my seat. I sat down and looked out the window.
'Edward, I'm so scared. I don't want you to go.'
'Love, please don't be scared. I don't want you to go either but I guess you have to.' We kept talking until I realized we were nearing 300 miles because he was growing fainter and fainter away.
'I love you Isabella. I always will you have my heart with you take care of it. You have my cell number call me please. Oh and do try and keep yourself alive for me.'I love you too Edward. I promise I will call you if I can. I will come back when I can.' The last thing I heard from him was a dry sob and;
'I love you my Bella.'
'I love you too my Edward.'
Then it cut off. I never thought I would feel this way again but there IT was. Loneliness. I never felt this alone in a while but I was. Yea sure before I had my friends but now they betrayed me. They're dead to me and I'm dead to the rest of the world. But now I felt more alone than I ever had in my life. I was totally, truly and completely alone. But for how long I don't know.
