Chapter One - It was all just a game

We'd gone only a few steps into the trees when he stopped. We were barely on the trail-I could still see the house.

Some walk.

Edward leaned against a tree and stared at me, his expression unreadable.

"okay, lets talk," I said. It sounded braver then it felt. He took a deep breath.

"Bella, we're leaving."

I took a deep breath, too. This was an acceptable option. I thought I was prepared. But I still had to ask.

"why now? Another year-"

"Bella its time. How much longer could we stay in Forks after all? Carslile can barely pass for thirty and he's claiming thirty-three now. We'd have to start over soon regardless."

He's answer confused me. I thought the point of leaving was to let his family live in peace. Why did we have to leave if they were going? I stared at him trying to understand what he meant.

He stared back coldly.

With a roll of nausea, I realised I'd misunderstood.

"when you say we-" I whispered.

"I mean my family and myself." each word separate and distinct.

I shook my head back and forth mechanically, trying to clear it.

He waited without any sign of impatience.

It took me a few minutes before I could speak.

"okay," I said. "I'll come with you."

"you cant Bella. Where we're going… It's not the right place for you."

"where you are is the right place for me." I said locking my hands into his hair.

He laughed darkly and stared at me with hard eyes.

"I tried, I tried to do it the easy way but everything has to be difficult with you doesn't it Bella" I couldn't find my voice so he continued.

"don't you get it I don't want you anymore."

"what?!" was all I could manage to say.

"it was all just a game, I never loved you and now im bored and we're leaving."

"you bastard. You think its ok to toy with peoples emotions, my emotions, you sick twisted-"

"is this gonna take much longer because I have a flight to catch."

"how about we leave it here, I hate you." I span around on my heel and started walking away.

"what no goodbye kiss?" he asked. I span around and glared at him.

"you have to be joking." then he was suddenly in front of me.

"I'm deadly serious."

"get out of my face. I hate you Edward and I promise you, you will pay for what you've done to me."

"ouch a threat from a poor little human. I think I'll survive." he pulled me into his iron grip and crushed his lips against mine. When he let go of me I fell to the floor.

"goodbye Bella." he whispered into my ear.

"fuck you Edward" I screamed but it was too late he was gone.
