Twilight without the complications

Chapter Thirteen

Chapter Thirteen

***Vanessa's POV***

I watch as Edward's heart sinks, and I immediately try to revive him. "But she left you this," I sooth, handing him the letter. Although I'm not entirely site if it'll revive him or not, I did not read the letter, out of respect for my twin.

***Edward's POV***

Vanessa hands me a letter, which I immediately tear open.

'Dear Edward.' It said

'I'm afraid I cannot tell you where we are going, or why. But I can tell you this.  

A day will not go by, where I will not think of you. I will love you until the end.  

I hope to come back to Forks one day, probably in more than fifty years. So until then, would you please house sit for me?  

And make sure you take the leaves off Ness's wall before they decompose. Please? I will continue to pay for the house of course. 

But now, I have made it my life's ambition to see you again. So don't give up hope, like I probably will soon.  

Please don't ask Ness where we're going, it will only hurt you.  

I know we were only together for about a day, but that will always be the best day of my life.  

The day I found my life. 

I love you, so much I know it will hurt, and that's why I couldn't come and say goodbye, because I knew it would hurt too much, and I wouldn't be able to let go. 

I love you. Forever.  

With my heart forever yours, I must say goodbye.  

But all I can say is, see you soon.

Love (always) from, 

Bella. x'

I nodded along with the letter, frowning. "Look at the back," Vanessa said quietly, sitting on the arm of the sofa next to Carlisle.

I turned the letter over gingerly, afraid it would turn to smoke at the lightest touch.

Tearlessly, I began to sob. Because on the back, was the picture Bella had drawn, of me.

Alice came and patted me on the back. Vanessa glanced at the huge clock. "I better be going," She said, startled. "I'm sorry. Goobye."

And she was gone. 

Like Bella. 

Like my will to live.

***Bella's POV***

I couldn't help but curse myself, throughout the plane ride, that I.hadn't added, 'Don't be suicidle,' to the letter. Mainly because if he got the Vultori to kill him, I would either have to watch the execution, or perform it myself...

I cringed into the wide, first class seat, and burst into tearless sobs.

An attendant comes and asks me what's wrong, but I wave her away. There was no way in hell I was going to tell her my problem.

Oh, I just the love of my life, a vampire, so I can join the vampire monarchy to save myself the pain of joining in five years.

Yeah, she would really understand that.

Sighing, I sank back into my seat, imagining Edward was with me.

I imagined his cool skin against mine, imagining his lips pressed against mine as Emmett clears his throat judgementally.
