Bella's Revenge

The Reason Why

FLASHBACK:

     I felt my phone vibrate from my backpack, ignore it was the actual plan but it kept vibrating. Groaning, I picked the phone and stared at the caller. It was Edward! I immediately answer the call.

     "Where have you been?" I franticly asked. Hell! He's been missing for four days now.

     "Bella?" His voice was distant and cold.

     Judging from the tone of his voice, something was clearly happening. Something that I didn't know.

     "Yes?"

     "Meet me in the cliff. Five pm. We'll talk later okay?" Frustration was evident in his voice, and it killed me to not know what the hell was happening.

     "O-Okay, bye." I was itching to ask him what the matter was, but he said we'll talk later, maybe he'll tell me himself.

     He mutters a goodbye and ends the call. I lay there in my bed, a series of emotions flooding my insides.

     It was four forty five now, so I started to head towards the cliff. All throughout the trek, different thoughts went inside my head. What could the problem be? Is it about Alice? Carlisle? Maybe it had to do with the Volturi.

     I arrived at exactly five pm, and as I neared the cliff I saw that Edward was already there. My hike became a jog as my anxiety worsened.

     Edward remained glued to his current spot, staring at the horizon, as if memorizing its details. He's not going away is he? No Bella, he's not.

     I stood beside him, and we silently watched the turbulent waves crash below. We stood there in silence. Peaceful silence. But the peaceful silence flees when he starts to speak.

     "We're leaving." It was a statement. A very cold and harsh statement, said with emotions that didn't exist,

     I avert my gaze from the horizon to his stoic stance, "What?" That was the only thing I said. I didn't know what to say.

     "We're leaving tomorrow." There was an unexplainable depression in his voice.

     "I heard you the first time. I meant, why?" A painful tug in my stomach indicates the hurt his sudden announcement caused.

     He shrugs his shoulders casually, "We've been here for a while now, and we miss Alaska. So... That's why." I didn't know, but my blood started to boil at his nonchalant way of handling the current events.

     "You can't just leave. What about your house here? Your life? What about... What about me?" My voice was now shaking with anger and at the same time, with hurt.

     He clenches his jaw and faces me, "Our house will be fine, and I never really had a life here. And as for you, you're only human. I can't possibly stay and leave my family because of a human." His voice hard and cold as he said the words that tore my world apart.

     "I-I thought you love me." I was trying so hard to not break down and cry in front of him, but if he continued this act I just might.

     He shakes his head and chuckles a humorless laugh, "Love? I'm a vampire Bella, our hearts don't beat. Love is not something we feel, it's just something we know. My head tells me that l love you, but that's just because you're my mate." His eyes meets mine and all I see is coldness. Where is Edward?! My Edward?
