Bella's POV

I enter the house. Just as I walk in I can smell it.

"Charlie what did you cook?"

I was about to say burn but I tried being nice, maybe he wouldn't even scold me if I was nice! Charlie looks at me with a confused gaze. His eyebrows furrow and his face constantly changes colors, red, normal, blue, normal and so on. I hope I didn't hurt him…

"I tried to make something I already knew of, so I made pancakes. Or I tried. But then I forgot all about it and just stared at the clock. Do you know what time it is young lady! Where have you been? We were worried sick!"

I frown a bit, I really wanted to escape his questions. I tried to make up some words, but all my tries didn't work.

"I-i, no wait. J- At Jake's house?"

I gave him a nervous smile, trying to fool him out of asking so many questions.

"Bella, I won't say that I am glad, but I certainly am happy that you are safe. Why did you run off like that? I thought you liked Edward?"

I thought that too.

"I realized that we weren't meant to be together anyways. I was also confused. The guy I was madly in love with for two years, now just isn't-"

His eyebrows fell back.

"Oh Bella!"

He gave me a hug, trying to console me. Well that's a first?

"If you weren't sure, you could have just talked with him! How dare he manipulate you into this!"

Now he was angry again.

"Dad, please. I actually fled because I realized that I also loved Jacob. And I can't play with someone's feelings, especially not after we would make it official. This was the best for all of us."

He looked slightly surprised.

Bella, I knew that Jacob had something for you, and I was a little disappointed that you didn't even give him a chance. He is a great guy. I may have hated Edward before, and I still do, I don't hate him, I just don't like him. But I was ready to put that behind me, so yo could get my blessings. Sweetheart, anyone who loves you with their whole heart always has, and will get my blessings."

I tried not to get teary. I swallowed that small lump of guilt in my throat, maybe it would still be there. But it's the best for everyone.

"Don't worry dad, I won't get married in a loooong time now! But I think I need some time to get back on track again. I will start college with Jake in a couple of years."

Charlie smiles and pats my shoulder.

"I am proud of you Bella, you identified a mistake and found a solution before it was too late."

I smile widely

"Thanks dad! Goodnight"

Now I can sleep peacefully. I got everything off my chest, except my wedding dress. Just as I entered my room I saw him. I gasped

"What are you doing here?!"

I could see his anger, he tried to keep his mind cool.

"The bigger question is why you left me. What did I do wrong Bella? I love you more than anything! I thought you were ready… Did you then really only want me because of my body? Did you use me?"

I put my hands on his shoulders and shifted him, so he was facing me. I look deeply into his hurt, sad, golden eyes.

"Edward. I did love you, we just aren't meant to be. I am a human; you are a vampire. We think differently, look different and the only thing that kept us together was our attraction towards each other. I admit that you have a great body, and an even better personality. But my goal wasn't just do that with you, I really wanted a future together. I don't want to hurt you Edward, we don't belong together. We can't understand each others miseries, and that's a great misery in itself."

If he could cry he probably would be sobbing right now. He looked betrayed. He was about to leave when I suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Edward, please. Listen. You are the most perfect person I have ever met. I am not perfect, I am not even close to perfect. You deserve someone better, and so do I. My duties as a human are also keeping me away from you. Edward, if we met at another time, if we were in another universe, then we would have been together, and you know that. If we were in a universe where vampires had a soul, where there was magic everywhere, where we were lucky enough to have some of the magic with us. Bye, Edward."

My voice was shaking at the end, I did it. I let him go. It's the best for us, I guess. I put my wedding dress in my closet, took a shower to wash all the doubts off of me and took on my pj's. This was a long day. I hope Edward forgives me some day. And I hope he finds his other half.
