Chapter 16
Bella's POV:
Edward kissed the side of my neck. "Renesmee's about to wake up, love." I looked over to the large bed-like cot at one side of our room and, sure enough, Renesmee began to squirm, before yawning and sitting up.
"Mommy?" She spoke in her gorgeous, soprano voice. I got up off of Edward and I's bed and walked over to my daughter. She smiled as she saw me approach.
"Hello sweetheart, did you sleep well?" I kissed her forehead, before balancing her on my hip and walking back over towards Edward.
"Yes, Mommy, Did you?" Edward and I both laughed quietly. Renesmee still hadn't quite grasped the concept that neither Edward or I – Or any other member of our large family – slept. Instead of pointing this out, I merely nodded and answered her.
"Yes I did. Daddy and I slept well." Edward found this amusing, but sat up and held his arms out for Renesmee.
To no-ones surprise, Renesmee was a total Daddy's girl. And of course, Edward was obsessed with our daughter. I doubt that they'll ever have an argument about anything, and I couldn't even imagine Edward shouting at her, they were literally inseparable.
I handed her over to Edward. He held her against his chest and stroked her brown curls. She had her hand on Edwards neck, and was obviously showing him something.
"I'm not sure where Jacob is, but I'm sure he'll come over to see you soon. How 'bout you go and find auntie Alice and see if she can find you something nice to wear. I was going to take Mommy and you out to our meadow today, would that be nice?" Renesmee nodded eagerly, before running out of the door and down the hallway to Alice and Jaspers room.
Edward turned to me, "Are you looking forward to a day in the meadow? Its sunny today, and rather warm, which is weird considering we're in Forks and it's only March."
I laughed. Trust Edward to know what the weather was like before he'd even got out of bed or looked out of the window.
Edwards face suddenly went to stone.
"Edward? What's wrong?" He was starting straight ahead. I knew that look. He was listening to someone's thoughts. "Edward! What's going on!?! Answer me!"

Bella laughed.

Ah, I loved it when Bella didn't have her shield up. Since we had met, I had always longed to know what she was thinking, and now I could, but only when she let me.
I listened to the thoughts of those in the house. Alice was finding Renesmee a nice dress to wear while Rosalie played with Renesmee. Jasper and Emmett were downstairs watching football and Esme was making breakfast for Renesmee. Iona was out in the garden with Seth. They were both living proof that Vampires and werewolves could get along just fine if they tried to.
That's when I heard Heather's thoughts.
Bella's POV:
Edward spoke in a low growl.
"Bella, Put your shield up." I was confused, normally he loved it when I left my shield down. Was it something I'd thought? Had I upset him. I had to know.
"Edward, what's wrong?" He stared at me longingly.
"Just do it. Please. I haven't got time to explain, I-"
Just as my shield was about to cover him, he stopped speaking.
I felt a force, greater than my shield, working against me, pushing my shield away. Edward spoke again, speaking words that broke my heart.
"Leave me alone Bella. I don't love you any more. I hate you. And Renesmee. I hate you both. I'm leaving."
"Wh-what?" My eyes pooled with tears that would never fall. "Edward, I don't understand, I love you, tell me you're joking. Edward!"
He walked towards our bedroom door.
"I wish I'd never met you. And I hope I never meet you again" He slammed the door behind him, making it crumble slightly at the edges. I stared at the door for a moment, half expecting him to run back to me, and hold me in his tight embrace, to tell me that I was so silly to even imagine that he'd leave me again. But no one came. I was alone in our room.
I began to scream. Louder than I had ever screamed. My silent heart ripped in two and I could feel my whole body quivering. Nothing made sense any more. Ten minutes ago I had been perfectly happy. Ten minutes ago I would never have doubted Edward. Ten minutes ago, Edward loved me.
I couldn't breathe. As hard as I tried, my lungs wouldn't expand. When I closed my eyes, I was in the forest, behind Charlie's house. It was September and Edward had just left. The whole feeling of emptiness flooded my body for the second time in my life. I started to wonder. Had he ever really loved me? Was I ever important to him, or had he lied about everything. Everything except what he'd told me in the forest?
I felt like my body was slowly crushing inwards, decreasing in size with every painful second. If this continued, in a few minutes, I would surely decrease into nothingness. But surely nothingness would be better than this. Anything – even nothing – would be better than this.
So I screamed. Screamed for my loss. Screamed for the lies. Screamed for my love. Screamed.
In a matter of seconds, the room was crowded, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper and Esme, holding Renesmee all stood around me, looking concerned.
"Mommy, what's wrong?" Renesmee reached for me, tears filling her eyes. I couldn't look at her, she was too much like Edward. The way she raised her eyebrows as she stared at me, her small features, exact replicas of Edwards'. "Where's Daddy?" Her question made me wince. I looked up at Alice.
"He. . . .Left." My statement brought the reality of the situation forward.
"What do you mean he left?" Alice questioned, "He can't have left, I mean, why would he leave?
"That's the thing. I don't know." Renesmee started wailing, crying out for Edward. Esme tried to calm her, but nothing would work. Emmett stood staring at me, a look of pure anger on his face.
"You'd think that Edward would've learned his lesson the first time round. Why the hell did he leave again!?! I swear when I get my hands on him I'm gonna throttle him!"
There was another voice from the hallway. One that I recognised instantly.
"Bella! Bella!?"
Jake.
"Bella what's going on!?!" He burst into the room, and his eyes found me ; a crumpled mess on the bed. "Bella?" he ran over to me, through the crowd of vampires, and picked me up. "What did he do?" he spoke in a growl, as if he was trying his hardest not to phase, which he probably was.
There was a gasp from the other side of the room. I looked up.
Alice was having a vision.
Ooooooh, cliffy. Okay, I wanna see if anyone has figured out what's going on. If you have, send me a message. If anyone gets it correct, you will get a mention in the next chapter. Seeing as I'm the nicest person on planet earth, I'll give you a clue. If you read chapters 1 and 12, you should be able to figure it out.
