A/N: This chapter will be a little weird. Thanks for those of you who are still interested (I promise not to take so long to update as long as I can get more reviews hehe)

"Jesus Christ, Edward, I don't think the rest of us can take anymore of your angst!" Rosalie fumed. She had been waiting for me by the front door with a scowl on her face. "I don't even like the girl and I knew how she'd react to your control-freak ass!"

A hiss slithered through my teeth. How dare she taunt my relationship when she had been the one to nearly end it once and for all! Maybe she needed a reminder. "Maybe your tenacity is clouding your memory, because, as I recall, it's YOUR fault that I'm back here! Instead of allowing me to come back on my own terms, you had to intervene and force a reunion!" By now I was inches from her face, my vision tinted with red. Emmett wouldn't be around to stop me from ripping her limb from limb.

A smug, know-it-all expression curved her mouth upwards. "If you really don't want to be here, why don't you crawl back under that rock again? Bella is better off without you, anyways." This stopped me dead in my tracks. Wasn't that the reason I had left Bella in the first place? The first time I saw her after I left she almost became dinner. Rosalie was right… she may be a complete ass, but she had a point. I doubted Bella's capacity to forgive me. Maybe she really would let go this time…

Alice burst through the doors of the mansion and pounced on top of me, knocking me off guard.

"You idiot!" she was almost crying. "Didn't you learn this the first time? You can't leave!" Alice was pounding her fists into my chest with surprising force. It didn't hurt, of course, but her size always threw me off guard. They still didn't understand. Bella had the wolves for protection and as long as she stayed away from them, there was no chance of her getting hurt. I would have to make sure of that before I left.

I could feel the void creeping back into my mind. It was Déjà vu, only, there was no spider-filled attic… yet. Rosalie's apologetic voice startled me. Seriously, when was Rosalie ever apologetic? "Edward, please don't go again. I was just trying to annoy you, really, neither of you deserve to go through this again." Her voice stayed soothing throughout and frankly, it really pissed me off. She had Emmett. Hardheaded, unbreakable Emmett. She would never understand the heart-breaking decision I was forced to make.

"Dammit, Carlisle! The vision wont change! He's still trying to leave again. After that can't see either of them! Beat some sense into him! I can't watch Bella go through this again, please!" When had Carlisle gotten here? I guess I was distracted.

His resigned voice filled the room. "Edward, I cant do anything to stop you." His eyes grew intense. "But Bella is a part of this family. Just as much as you are. The rest of us will be here for support should she ever need it. If she still wants to be turned after this, I will do it for her." He cooled down and came to put a hand on my shoulder.

My eyes grew livid. "You cant! If anyone is to damn her soul, it will be my decision. But that will never happen so don't even consider doing that heinous crime!" I growled and pushed Carlisle away from me. He fell into the piano, splitting it in half.

The room fell silent.

Shame flooded through my entire being. "Sorry," I choked and turned to leave.

I hate you! Alice's expletives spewed from her mind and died down as I escaped from hearing range. Before I was able to truly comprehend what I had to do, I was back on the tree next to Bella's window. The sun had yet to rise and Charlie's snores still resonated throughout the house. Bella was still awake. I took in her expression before sneaking in.

-BPOV-

It had felt both wrong and yet strangely empowering to kick Edward from my bedroom. I may have just eliminated him from my life entirely and the though terrified me. Still, when he talked about me like a child, I felt helpless and insignificant.

The leaves rustled unnaturally outside, and I wasn't alone.

A/N: Soooo is Edward gonna leave or what? The only way to find out is to review ;-)
