-Thomas's Pov-
Mia was stung as if slapped. I could sense her hurt and pain at what I said. Tears streamed down her face. It was like a waterfall. I wanted to comfort her as I told her it was all wrong and that I loved her.
"You don't... want me," she said. "No," I continued to lie.
She stepped back, trying to understand this. "I'd like to ask one favor though," I asked her. Mia looked up, hopeful. "Anything," she told me. "Don't do anything stupid or reckless," I asked her.
"Do you understand? ....for Bella's sake. For your everyone's sake. Just... take care of yourself."
"I... yes... I will," Mia told me. I looked at her in love. "Don't worry. You're human," I told her. "Time heals all wounds for your kind. Particularly if you're not reminded."
"Please don't do this to me," Mia asked me. "You mean so much to me. I never felt this way before."
"Please don't make this hard," I told her.
"Please try to understand. Every second with you is about restraint. You're too fragile. I'm tired of pretending to be something I'm not. Reining myself in so I can be with a human."
"Then take my soul. I don't care! I don't want it without you-," Mia asked me.
"You're not good for me, Mia," I told her. "It's like Romeo and Juliet. We're not good or meant for each other." "But they end up together," She reminded me as I looked at him.
"They died in the end. I've let it go on too long. I'm sorry," I said as tears sting her eyes.
I stepped forward and kissed her forehead. She closed her eyes.

"I promise, it will be like I never existed. Goodbye, Mia Swan," Thomas told me as I didn't see him. By the time I opened my eyes, he was gone.
"Wait!" I said as I saw a leaf fluttering to the ground where he grazed a branch; the only indication of his direction. I hurried down the path, then ran.
