My Beautiful Bella [COMPLETED]

Chapter 11

Edward P.O.V

        I started to worry as I watched Bella run up to her room.  There were eyes surrounding me, I knew this was not going to be good.  I got a little anxious as Carlisle step away from Esme and walked towards me.  He was frowning, and I could tell in his eyes that he would regret what he was about to say to me.

        "Edward we all need to speak with you, it's about Bella." As soon as he finished his sentence, I was about to run off back into the woods.  Bella? What is this even supposed to be about?

        "It's actually pretty important, that's why we're all here," I heard a silent whisper come from Esme.  She was frowning as well. 

        "I'm not involved in this Edward, Esme wants you and Bella to take a breather for a while.  She feels that Bella is around you way too much, and that it could put her in danger.  I'm really sorry Edward."  I could have sworn I felt my heart completely stop as Alice finished her thought. Why would they want me to stay away from Bella?  I felt sadness rising up in my system, I turned my head back to Carlisle who I could tell was regretting everything.

        "I'm really sorry son, but it's the best thing to do.  Just for a little while," I could feel my ice cold skin burning up.  I stormed off back into the woods, not knowing if I would come back or not. 

        I was running so fast that I didn't know where I was.  How could they? How could they ever think that? Why would they ever try and tell me to stay away from her? I needed her, and she needed me.  Why? I mean they know I love her.  Why would they think I could put her in danger?I kept running until I realized I was in Canada.  I stopped at the edge of town.  I could see the lights from the streets, and I could hear every noise from the cars that were driving home.  I didn't know what to do anymore, I was frustrated, and I was beyond upset that my own family would tell me that. 

        Once my mind had calmed down from all the angry thoughts in my head, I ran back home, knowing that this would be my last night with Bella.  Just the thought of her name makes me break down into complete sorrow.  I felt like one minute without her, my whole world would explode. I don't know why they're making me do this.  I sprinted back into the woods clearing my mind, and how I would say goodbye to Bella.  It broke my heart, I could already see the tears that would stream down her face, and how her nightmares would start again just because I left. 

        After about an hour of running, I was standing at the front steps, completely frozen.  I walked inside ignoring the stares of coming from the other room.  They felt bad, I didn't even have to read their minds, I could just feel it.  I stood outside of Bella's door not knowing if I should go in or not.  I knew I couldn't bare the thought of being apart from her, but I had to, even if it meant breaking her heart as well as mine.

I knocked on the door, I could hear her little laugh. She knew it was me, and I smiled. She opened the door for me with a wide smile. She was already ready for bed, it made me laugh a bit. In about two seconds, she was in bed waiting for me. I walked next to the bed, hesitant to be near her because of what I'm about to tell her will crush her soul.

As I laid next to her, she snuggled up against me, and sighed, "So what was that all about? Anything important?" I should my head while swallowing a dry sob. "Well it seems important, I could see it in your eyes. What's wrong?" Just hearing her say those words made me almost want to cry.

I sucked it up, and told her everything. "Bella, this is probably the last time you'll see me. Esme thinks that I'm putting you in danger by being with you all the time. I know that's not true, but what if it is? What if I did hurt you?" Her eyes started to water, I choked back another dry sob as I put her head against my neck. "Look, Bella, I know this is going to be hard, it's hard for me to even think about not having you in my life, but my job is to protect you, and I promise, I'll come back for you in a matter of time."

"But I don't want you to leave me," she was crying at this point as she looked in my in my eyes. "And I know you can't possibly hurt my Edward. I trust you, and I love you."

I could've sworn I was crying, I wanted to cry, "Bella I know, I don't want to leave, I love you too, but I have to, it's for your safety. And like I said before, I'll come back for you. I don't know when but I will. Now go to sleep." I could feel her tears fall on to me as she tried to sleep. I knew that this hurt her as much as it hurt me. I can't live without her, it's just impossible.

I didn't bother packing a bag, I knew that it would hurt her even more. I didn't come down stairs, until Esme came into the room telling me it was time for me to leave. I could hear the tears that Bella was fighting back as I got up to leave the room. I walked downstairs and said my goodbyes to my family. I knew that I wouldn't be gone long, but it still felt like I would never come back.

"Edward wait!" I heard her little voice that was now filled with sadness, and tears streaming down her face. I felt her arms wrap around me, I wanted to cry so bad, as I swallowed another sob. "I'm going to miss you," I kneeled closer to her, I gently wiped some of her tears offset face. I smiled as I hugged her.

"I'll miss you too Bella, and remember what I said last night," she nodded and gave me another hug.

I kissed her cheek as she whispered in my ear, "I love you Edward, forever and always," I nodded back at her embracing her in another hug.

"I love you too my beautiful Bella," I let go of her as I silently walked out the door with one last wave to my family, and my Bella.
