Thanks be to Ms. EBT.
Charlie's an innocent bystander of the clusterfuck I created, and it's not fair.
It's not fair he feels as though he may have done something to cause Bella's sudden departure.
"Bella left because of me."
He looks confused.
"I did something… horrible. It was beyond horrible. I hurt her and betrayed her trust. That's why she left Forks."
I look down and hold in my tears.
"I don't want you to think that you did anything wrong. It was all me, and I just wanted to say I'm sorry."
I don't know what else to say, so I start to leave.
But before I do…
"You mean the world to her. She always said that you were the best part of her moving here. She loves you very much. I'm sorry I made you doubt that."
I smile the best I can and head back to the car.
