Gone
The next day Edward was the only Cullen family member who came to school. Then after a long and suspenseful day we went to talk.
"Come and walk with me," he suggested in an unemotional voice. This was bad. Really, really bad. We'd only gotten a few steps from the path when he stopped.
"Bella we're leaving."
"Why now, why not stay another year?"
"Bella, it's time."
"When you say we-"
"I mean my family and myself."
After that I didn't comprehend the words that came out of his mouth. He said he didn't love me and then left. There was probably more but I was in shock and too tired to keep up with the conversation. I tried to follow him but, I got lost and fell down and stayed down.
"Here, she is!" I heard a loud an unfamiliar voice yelled.
"Thank god," Charlie said. They were all closer now.
"Have you been hurt?"
"No," I mumbled.
"Is she okay Sam? "
"I think so. She just keeps saying he's gone."
Oh god was I saying that out loud? Charlie carried me into the truck and we drove home in silence. I could see that Charlie was glad to have me home and safe.
When we got home I raced upstairs to my room. One of the reasons was that I was exhausted and another was that I remembered what he had said, "It'll be like I never existed." I wanted to see his face just one more time so I tried to find the pictures I had taken, music, and all the presents but everything I've ever had of him was gone. Days past and nothing changed. He was gone.
