CHAPTER 4: facts
It suddenly dawned on me how different my life was now. When I was human, everything was so simple. I had my father, my mother my friends, my boyfriend. But now I had my new family, the Cullen's. Not my mother and not my Father. And my Husband.
I loved my new life, but the craving nobody but me would ever know for my old life still hid there, deep down threatening to come out. But it couldn't. Reality started to dawn on me again and I sigh. I finished packing my things then looked round the almost empty room. I wanted so badly to be able to come back here. But the next time I would see it was when my father was dead.
I picked up the last box and placed it in the pile.
"Emmett will come over in the morning to collect our stuff and put it in the van" Edward informed me.
There was no emotion to his voice. Just pity. I didn't want to have to make him go through the' burning man' stage ever again. Watching me in pain.
I nodded glumly and went over to the wardrobe, lifted myself up onto the now empty shelves and sat. Just sat there. Edward walked into the room confusion washed over his face.
"Why? Why does everything have to change? I love it here! I don't want to go, Edward!" I cried
He came over to me so quickly i couldn't tell. He wrapped his arms around me and gently rocked me like a baby. If i was still human I would have ruined Edwards shirt by now. But i wasn't.
"I want to be with you, Edward! I hate them! Those Volturi! It isn't their business! He's my father!" I complained
Edward didn't reply, he didn't need to. There was nothing to say, nothing to comfort me with.
I got up and jumped down to the floor. I waited for Edward then took his hand.
Another day. Another dawn. As they say.
But this was a new day and a new dawn. I already didn't like it.
This would be a change.
But I would do anything so my father could live his full life.
I would have to visit him before we left for Boston. Explain to him, tell him the truth.
I would go alone. I owed my father at least that much of an explanation as to what had happened to me over the last year and a half or so.
I breathed in and got read for the unexpected to come.
