My Love [Bella Swan GxG]

Chapter Fifteen

Piper's Pov
The first time since being around Bella, there was a dead awkward silence around us, I felt oddly at fault, no scratch that, I was at fault for Bella getting hurt tonight, it should be such a simple thought that bringing her around my family should be enough she didn't need to be around vampires yet she was stubborn. I blinked away from thought, having to shift my eyes not to focus on the bandages wrapped firmly around her arm, I watched her turn her body slightly to the side shielding it from my view, her voice snapping me away from studying her.

"Piper you need to understand that you can't always protect me. I'm fine." I sighed heavy shaking my head a couple times ruffling up my messy curls the best of my ability, speaking over her glancing over to her house.

"The point is Bella, you shouldn't have to be protected. Not by me, or anything everyone you are around me you get hurt. tonight, the bite mark on your wrist should be enough of a reminder." I snapped out harshly placing my palm on my forehead, not even her warm touch being placed on my arm could calm me down to the fullest.

"Piper.. I'm okay." It was like a shield already being placed between us, her words were hitting into my mind, but they weren't reaching were they needed to be. I stepped out of my car first, unlocking the passenger seat for her, I weakly held her in my arms for a moment feeling her short form leaned up quickly to press her lips onto my own. I felt like I should have pulled away but, it lingered that this would be the last time I could hold her, and feel her close.

I urged her closer to me gently moving them with hers resting my temple on hers sliding my arms to hook around her waist keeping her still in place.

"Piper honey? Are you sure that's a wise idea?" I found myself sitting on the edge of the staircase railing in a daze holding my arms through the sleeves of the large hoodie, not giving Esme a glance as I nodded my head weakly a couple times.

"I do yes, I believe leaving Forks is a smart decision. I don't wanna keep hurting her, and being the reason she is in danger. I think we should all leave Forks. " I heard a small scoff like sigh leave Jace as he spoke leaning against the piano.

"Piper I did tell you from the beginning it was dangerous.." I didn't spare him a glance while I spoke.

"And what was I suppose to do? Let her die? Just ignore the pull towards her I don't think it's that simple Jace and you know that." He just simply sighed, I didn't glance up when I felt Carlisle ruffle at my hair sending me a weak smile, I wasn't even upset at Jasper who seemed to be ashamed playing with his fingers.

"What are you gonna tell Bella, Piper..." I let my eyes linger on the wall for a moment, wanting to use Alice's power to see, could I see? But I though against it, holding my hands together speaking quietly. "I'll tell her as easily as I can. But knowing me it will be harsh."

The talk had lingered in my mind for the few days, how can I be harsh? I felt at nerve end, nibbling so hard on my lip, leading her into the forest after appearing at her window again, my eyes lingering on the string of my hoodie, keeping my back towards her for a moment.

"Piper? What's going on? I haven't seen you in days." I sank my shoulders back for a moment whipping around to face her a bit, letting the words slip out for a moment.

"Me and my family are leaving Forks... It's become a little noticeable that Carlisle hasn't age." I choose those words carefully watching the slight shock shimmer across her brown eyes for a moment her hands clutching at her sleeves.

"Uhm.. Alright then I'm coming with you, I'll come up with a lie to tell Charlie." Bella... Always was thinking so irrational before I remembered my own words, be firm be harsh.

"Bella I said me and my family. You can't come with me, I don't want you to come with me." Oh how it ached to say words I didn't mean. You could hear her holding her breath, the pain flicking across her face for a moment.

"I can't keep hurting you Bella and no matter how much you keep convincing yourself you are fine. You aren't it isn't normal to cling to the unknown." Bella let this choked up like sound stepping towards me.

"If this is about my soul take it! I don't want it without you Piper I love you.. You promised me." I took a couple steps back from her, just so I could let my eyes linger on her firmly.

"Every second that I am with you.. Is about restraint worried about breaking you, killing you and you're too fragile. " I exhaled a fake breath, it was like it was crashing down.

"Bella I don't want you to come with me." I repeated the pain was still fresh across her face hearing her stammer out.

"You.. Don't want me?" She all but whispered to me. It was painful stammering out the firm no from my lips. I took a few steps towards her trembling body pressing one last kiss to her forehead.

"I'll make it so I never existed okay? Memory for humans... shouldn't take too long for me to be away from it Bella." I pulled myself away cupping at her face one last time letting my cold palms linger there for a moment before in a blink of an eye I was away from her, I wanted to cry, but nothing could even come out if I wanted it to.

I could hear her shaky breaths, her rapid footsteps before I could hear her silent cries causing me to squeeze at my eyes roughly.
