Bella was his destiny, you can't fight fate.

The clouds assembled itself into Edward's face and I turned over face down.

My dry sobs were the only sound that filled the secret meadow.

Chapter Nine – Choices

Edward's POV

"Why the hell did you do that?!" As soon as I stepped through the door, Alice was on my case. She had obviously seen the encounter I had just shared in the meadow.

I sat on the couch and put my head in my hands, Alice soon followed still enraged. I don't see what the big deal is.

She never got a reply.

"Edward Cullen! You have no idea what you have just done!" Alice screamed and Jasper appeared by her side rubbing her arms to soothe. There was no soothing Alice. Her eyes were pitch black, her spiky hair sticking up in all sorts of disarray.

"I know I should never have let it go that far." I groaned and Alice slapped the back of my head.

"No you idiot. That's what you were supposed to do, but leaving her alone like that. Gosh your a bigger idiot than I thought!" she screeched.

"What? Left who—Aurora? You've left Aurora? Alice what happened?" Jasper questioned. I stood up. I was not taking this, I need to think and to talk to Bella.

"Aurora and Edward kissed." Alice said flatly her eyes boaring into mine as I went to pass her she pushed me back. "You don't understand what you've just done. Aurora's future has just disappeared."

Jasper looked at me confused just like I was.

"What do you mean disappeared?" I questioned.

"She's not involved in our lives no more." Alice cried and my heart panged. No! Bella.

Think about Bella.

"Your about to get some important news brother." Alice said coldly and I stared at her, she shrugged once and left the room. Jasper followed asking questions and I sat back down on the couch. What did she mean important news.

At that point my phone rang.

Bella.

I inhaled deeply and opened the receiver.

"Bella."

"Hey Edward."

"How's Florida?"

"Uh, great. Can I talk to you about something?" She sounded nervous but excited. Is this the important news Alice had been on about?

"Sure." I said slowly. I heard her take in a deep breath.

"I'm staying in Florida with my Mom."

"Like an extended vacation?"

"No, Edward. I'm never coming back to Forks."

I froze.

Never coming back to Forks?

I'd always told her to stay away, that I was dangerous and she had finally listened to me.

"Why?" I found my voice and asked her this question.

"The sun is always shining, and because I want to Edward."

"Be safe."

"Ed-"

I snapped the receiver shut and took in a deep breath. At that exact moment my heart panged just like when Alice said Aurora's name but this was different.

Different like I was happy that Bella is happy when I should be mourning her loss.

"God Edward get over yourself."

I looked up to put the voice with the face and sure enough what I could see was Aurora, eyes cold.

Aurora's POV

Why me? I never got my happy ending.

First with Jasper

And now with Edward.

I climbed to my feet from the meadow floor and stared around me, Edward was long gone and for the first time since being here I was angry.

Violet angry.

"Am I just not good enough for him?" I asked myself as I started to walk. I had to leave now. I couldn't watch him and Bella being together.

It would be too much.

I still had Aro to deal with too.

I didn't want to go back to Volterra – maybe I'd just wander like a nomad.

I didn't want that either.

I just wanted to stay here with the Cullen's, I liked them.

They were humane and they cared.

They had given me a new perspective on life – to embrace my life and not to resent it and to live and laugh and love.

I'd loved all right.

Loved and lost...again.

I could see the beautiful house in the distance and I picked up my pace. I didn't have much to collect and quick goodbye to Jasper and Rosalie would have me on my way.

Five minutes tops.

I opened the door gingerly and I could hear Edward's thoughts swirling around his brain.

"God Edward get over yourself." I spat and I watch him higher his head to look at me. I quickly turned and headed for the stairs.

"Aurora." He called after me, I took the steps quickly and I heard his footsteps as he took the stairs two at a time.

I opened the bedroom door and slammed in shut behind me.

"Aurora-" Edward started.

"Edward, that door was closed I didn't hear you knock." I hissed. I heard a feeble attempt at his knock on the door.

"Better?" he laughed and I turned to face him.

"Very mature Edward." I walked around him and picked up the black bag Rosalie had given me and started to pack my things. "What do you want anyway? You've got precious little Bella, you don't need me."

I felt his hand on my back.

"I'm sorry." He whispered.

"No Edward! I'm sorry! I should never have stayed here and allowed myself—" I started then stopped myself.

"Allowed yourself?" he asked and I sighed closing the bag.

"Allow myself to fall in love with you." It came out quietly and I didn't dare look him in the face. Surely he had to know? The continuous struggle to fight the feelings? The confusion and hurt?

"Aurora-"

"No Edward listen." I turned to face him. "you have no idea how difficult this has been, I've tried to fight it but after what happened in the meadow I can't watch you and Bella swanning around together." My voice broke towards the end and he pulled me over to the bed. He pulled me close and I rested my head on his shoulder as I could feel the sobs fighting to escape my chest.

"Bella is staying in Florida Aurora. I'm sorry for the hurt but you know I love you too." He spoke slowly as if he was talking to an insane person.

I started to sob.

"Aurora, I'm sorry for leaving you like that in the meadow. I'm scared. I don't know what to do about this..." he trailed off and I turned to look at him.

"So let me get this straight. You love me and Bella but you are choosing Bella?" I said closing my eyes. I didn't want to see his expression as he delivered the words that would cause me to leave. I kept waiting for the answer but instead I felt his lips crash down on mine.

"No Aurora, I'm choosing you."
