Kiss at Twilight

Prologue

"Don't do this, please!"

"I have no choice Bianca." He whispers. Eyes dark.

"I don't need you to protect me, I need you to stay."

"I can't stay! If their hunting me, they'll be after you next. I can't let them get to you."

I reach up, grabbing him by the face with both hands forcing him to look me in the eyes. "You told me you loved me, you said you'd never leave me. Everyone always leaves me"

"That was before."

I step back from him, eyes filling with tears. Trying to blink them away so he can't see how weak I am. "What are you trying to say?" I manage to get out around the knot in my throat. Stones piling up in my stomach.

"I'm saying...I'm saying I have to go. Now."

"This isn't protecting me. This is breaking me." I say on a choked whisper.

He turns away from me, jumping up on the window sill. I try to reach him before he can jump, but it's too late. He's gone.

I fall to my knees, hard. A sob wrenching from my chest. My body wracked with what feels like physical pain.

Not able to hold back anymore I open my mouth on a scream, shattering every window in the house. Then nothing but black.

I wish I never moved to Washington.
