A/N: Hello! This is my first fanfic, so proceed with caution. If you don't like/ are triggered by any topics of abuse, please don't continue reading.
Prologue:
I walked through the empty corridor, desperate to find him. He had been my entire life for 3 years at this point, and now he was just gone.
"Perhaps it was me..." My thoughts scratched their greedy claws at my broken heart. Broken, battered, bruised, whatever you wanted to call it. I turned to my left, sure I'd already gone this way.
"Edward! Edward, please! If you can hear me-" A hand was placed over my mouth. Their rough and calloused fingers pressed down hard enough to lead a bruise. However, I didn't feel scared.
"Isabella... Bella, be silent. Just like I taught you." The man restraining me whispered. I knew that voice.
"Edward! Edward, I miss you. What is going on? Tell me!" I pushed my thoughts to his mind.
"Bella, I cannot tell you. You must leave. Go." Edward whispered, letting me go and giving me nothing more than an empty gaze.
"Edward... Edward, why? Why are you doing this? Please... Please." Stupid fucking tears started racing down my cheeks. I probably looked like a filthy streetwalker to him. His hand grasped my chin.
"Isabella, if you ever talk about yourself like that again, this place will be an inspiring shade of red." Edward whispered, wiping my tears and turning me around. As soon as I looked back, he was gone, and I was alone.
Alone again.
A/N: I am sorry for the short prologue. Expect other chapters (if you guys like it, that is, I will write more) to be longer. Reviews make me smile more than removing math from the world entirely :)
With love and hopes for another Eminem album,
Claire
