Without further ado: chapter…..
EPOV
I knew that this must be hard on Bella, and I couldn't even fathom what it must be like to lose all your friends and family in a matter of weeks. Think of the effect that that would have on your confidence.
I knew there was something up with the others, and I knew that they wouldn't leave one of their best friends hanging like that, especially Emmett.
I could see the pain in their eyes as the walked away from her, trying their best to… ignore her. That's when I knew it wasn't voluntary.
I had known these people for most of my lives, and never had I known them to be so selfish. Though only now do I know why as I am doing exactly the same thing.
If I were stronger I would fight back. But this is not my area of expertise and I don't know how to go about things like this. I only wish that I could talk to Charlie.
Charlie would no doubt be receiving his letter soon enough, I am smart enough to work out that the stalkers plan was get her on her own, and assuming that he has done his research, he would not leave Charlie out there in the open to discover him. He needs to be twice as strong and four times as smart to get past him and his police cronies.
It is only now that I am allowing myself to think about her, how much it must have hurt her to see me leave, to see me just disappear and ignore her like all her other friends and family. Seeing me leave would have been second to seeing Emmett go, and soon third to Charlie. But once again I find myself asking the same question. What can I do?
Sitting at the lunch table with my friends and family, it felt like it had before Bella had come to town. Only more depressed.
I could see it in everyone's eyes, how much it killed them to see Bella walk into the cafeteria, search the room, and find us. I would see the hope in her eyes as she looked around the table to find a spare seat, we would be forced to spread and make sure that there was no room, the sight of that must have been harder than seeing that there was no room , because that adjustment that we were making, was like concreting her fate of our friendships. Like us saying "we no longer want you"
I know I wasn't the only one that noticed this either, because although we may be shuffling, it was not an eager "oh my god, spread she might come and contaminate us" it was more of a "shuffle around guys because if she sits with us and the stalker sees, well the next time we see her she might be dead." These were the only thoughts that we needed to maintain to make sure that we steered clear of anything Bella Swan.
"I don't know if I can do this anymore guys, she looks so miserable, and no one is talking to her, they just look at her as if she doesn't belong on this planet, as if she is just wasting air." Alice had never been one to be able to hold out prolonging someone's pain and suffering, this was no different.
"I think we are all finding it hard Alice, no one has ever had to do this before, no one should have to, And as for everyone else? That is our fault too, though not directly; they are only following what we have done, following our lead, that's what he wanted." And it was the truth, it was written in each of our letters, what his aim was, though he didn't tell anyone what his plans were going to be after he had gotten rid of all of us, I suspect that it was going to be something worth his wait. Well worthy to him.
As much as I feel that I am doing the right thing, I have this constant sense of guilt, though that is only to be expected. I mean what we are doing can only be described as illegal in the laws of friendship.
Though I of all of us feel more guilty that the lot of them put together, I had to say that Bella was a 'lousy girlfriend', that of all things must have hurt the most, because in my attempt a leaving her, I had to end the relationship that had only seemed like it was just beginning to form, its time like these that make you hate life and everything about it.
Walking into English, there were a million and one questions running through my head, all pulsating through like it was some national emergency, if they went unanswered.
Questions such as:
Why her?
What did she ever do to him to make him want to hurt her so badly?
Was this really necessary?
Why isn't Charlie doing anything about it? I mean surely he must see that we are killing her from the inside out?
How could we be so weak as to listen to this jerk, while he kidnaps the very best and pure person that I know, we know?
All the questions, asking why this was happening to her, to us. It was mind boggling, to think that such a person could exist.
And yet they do, and the worst part is to think that this is not only happening to Bella, and she is not the first, and probably wont be the last, because it is happening everywhere, and apparently right under our noses, and we cant do a thing about it.
