A/N :Bella is 20 and a sophomore in college. She met Edward in her Sophomore year of high school. So, they have been together for five years.
In this universe, Renee left but she did not take Bella with her. Bella has lived with Charlie since her birth.
She is also friends with everyone on the reservation and she spends most of her days with them as does Charlie.
However, dating Edward put a strain on the relationships for a while.
Bella does not know about the wolves or the pack just quite yet. They have yet to tell her or reveal themselves to her.
Chapter 1: waking up
Bella sat on the mud-covered ground as the lighting and thunder soared around her. How long had she been lying here? And where was Edward? Oh yeah, she remembered the bastard left her! He left her in the middle of the woods, cities away from forks!
Today? Yesterday? A few days ago? She couldn't remember! All she knew was that she had originally been out here with Edward for her twentieth birthday! He had set up a romantic weekend since her father was out of town for a while.
For school Bella lived in her own two-bedroom apartment and on weekends she would commute back down to her father's home, where he lived on the reservation with her stepmother and step siblings.
Of course, to Bella they weren't step anything. They were her siblings. When she turned to twelve, her fathers best friend and a man she revered as an uncle passed away. Sooner than later her father and his best friends wife had fallen in love. Despite tribe politics, they had married, and her family went from two, to five. It had been a big adjustment for all of them, but they made it work.
And when Bella started dating Edward, all heck had broken loose. She had been sixteen at the time and didn't really know the tribal legends. Many people on the reservation didn't see her as one of them so knowing the legends was pointless. Because of her father being the chief of forks their old house had to stay, for him to keep the job.
That of course meant Bella had to attend high school at forks. At first, she hated it, but then the mysterious Cullen's came aboard. For some reason Her siblings and friends hated the Cullen's and warned her to stay away from them but back then she hadn't thought that it was a big deal. To her, her friends were still her friends, and her boyfriend was still her boyfriend. But now as she laid here in the mud, she realized she had been naïve. Could her friends have possibly known that her boyfriend and his family were vampires?
Flashback:
"Wow! Edward this is beautiful! "Bella said as she looked around the cabin.
"Im glad you like it love but I know something even more beautiful." He complimented as he scooped her up.
Bella rolled her eyes as he complimented her.
"Ok, babe. I can walk you know." She said Irritably.
It's not that she didn't want to be here, but she was tired. For the whole day, her family and friends had thrown her an array of parties. First her father and her friends from the tribe had thrown her a big party. It had been thrown in her best friend Jacob's back yard. And then later, she had met up with Edward and his family as they had thrown her a much more elaborate party.
It wasn't that she hadn't been grateful for either one, but it had been exhausting. Trying to appease everyone who obviously hated each other. Unfortunately, both sides had a bone to pick with her but for now she wanted to ignore it and have fun. She was now twenty for crying out loud. College was starting back in two weeks, and she just wanted to have a nice time with her boyfriend.
"I know you can walk love but its more fun to carry you." he murmured as he gently sat her on the bed.
Bella had to giggle as she looked around the room.
Candles were lit and rose petals were everywhere. In her head she could see Edward thinking very hard about what flowers she would have preferred.
"what's so funny?" he asked as he hovered over her.
"Nothing just thinking." She said as she slowly brought her lips to meet his.
Edward leaned into the kiss, but she knew he was holding back.
Bella sighed.
"Edward, can you at least kiss me like you mean it?"
Edward sighed in return.
"Why must you persist in testing my control?"
Bella pulled away from him as her annoyance began to rise.
"Testing your control? Edward I just want to be kissed without hesitation. It's not like im asking for sex."
"And here we go again!" he argued.
"Are you serious!?" Bella questioned "im not asking for sex Edward! I just want you to kiss me like you mean it! Like you actually want me!" To her surprise, Edward allowed a hiss to fill the air.
"You think I don't want you?" he questioned as he grabbed her and held her so that they were face to face.
"Do you have any idea how much control it takes for me not to kill you! For me not to drain the life out of you! what don't you understand Bella? We have been together for five years and you still dont see it!" he hissed.
By now Edwards grip on her was starting to hurt.
"Edward your hurting me. let me go now."
"Oh, now you want me to let go!" he roared.
"EDWARD!" Bella screamed when she felt a horrible pain and heard a crunch.
Looking down, Bella trembled as blood began to pour from her arm. Alongside that, was a dark bruise, right where her shoulder connected to its socket.
In that moment, Edward had frozen as he stared upon her bruised and what she assumed was a broken arm.
The moment didn't last as Edward was quickly scooping her up and dialing a number at the same time.
He began to speak fast to the point where she had no idea what he was saying. It didn't take her long to realize what was happening as he strapped her up in his Volvo and began driving like a mad man.
Before she knew it, they were stopping on the side on the road and before she ask any questions her passenger door was opening to reveal Carlisle.
"Bella? Can I see your arm dear?"
Being compliant, Bella turns to show him her arm but winces holding back a scream.
"Ok. ok. im going to come around to the drivers side and try to get a better look." He said but it was the look in his eyes that had Bella terrified.
"where's Edward? is he ok? we were arguing and he… well, he lost control… "she admitted as Carlisle took out his medical bag.
"don't worry about him, Alice is talking to him. Now, hold still."
After a moment of silence, Carlisle spoke making her jump and wince.
"Unfortunately sweetheart, your shoulder is dislocated, and your bone is shattered. I have no idea how your holding it together right now, my other patients would be screaming in pain . Now, we have to get you to a hospital."
Bella sighed. Happy birthday to her.
…
Twenty-four hours later and Bella had been released from the hospital.
Much to his dismay, Bella asked her boyfriend if they could go back to the cabin. There was no point in wasting a weekend couped up at her father's forks residence or her Seattle apartment. Besides Jacob and their friends would want her to press charges if they saw her in a cast and sling.
The drive from the Portland hospital to their cabin hidden far in the woods was silent and tension filled.
When they arrived, Edward opened her door, helped her out and turned towards the woods.
Bella shivered as the September air blew.
"We need to talk…" he said without emotion.
He then calmly and silently led her into the woods, where the morning sun hid behind the clouds.
After a minute he turned around. Emptiness in his eyes.
"I'm no good for you, Bella'" He began
"Don't be ridiculous." She wanted to sound angry, but it sounded like she was begging.
"Of course, I'll always love you… in a way. But what happened the other night made me realize that it's time for a change. Because I'm… tired of pretending to be something I'm not, Bella. I am not human… I've let this go on much too long, and I'm sorry for that.
I promise that this will be the last time you'll see me. I won't come back. I won't put you through anything like this again. You can go on with your life without any more interference from me. It will be as if I'd never existed. "I would like to ask one favor though, if that's not too much," he said.
She wondered what he saw on her face, because something flickered across his own face in response. But, before she could identify it, he'd composed his features into the same serene mask.
"Anything," she vowed, my voice faintly stronger.
As she watched, his frozen eyes melted. The gold became liquid again, molten, burning down into mine with an intensity that was overwhelming.
"Don't do anything reckless or stupid," he ordered, no longer detached. "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
She nodded helplessly.
His eyes cooled, the distance returned." A/N:(taken directly from new moon book)
It was then Edward dug into his pants pocket and handed her the keys. The keys to his Volvo
"Live Bella." He whispered and then kissed her on the forehead.
However, the only thing she could see was red.
"Excuse me?" she hollered as she tried to push him away. "Edward! You cant just dump me like this! Where the heck do you get off! We need to talk about this! Not you just running away like some pussy!" But to her dismay, Edward ignored her anger and disappeared.
"Edward!" she yelled.
No answer
"EDWARD!" she yelled louder
No answer.
Panic and anger began to set in as she followed where she thought he disappeared to.
"EDWARD! You bastard get back here! You cant just throw away five years like this!" But by now, it was too late
Edward was gone.
End flashback
Bella coughed as the rain counited pour.
"I have to get up." She said aloud "I have to get up…"
However, it was useless. Her arm was broken. She was pretty sure she had hypothermia.
She was going to die at least. She thought she was.
But then, she felt heat .
