Girl Of Ember{Book Three}

9. I Have To Let You Go

{Bella's POV}

I regret everything. I regret falling in love with Scott,I regret killing Barrow,I regret killing my Mother and then Allison. I regret even existing.

"Bella,Deucalion will not get you."He says

"Scott,I came to Beacon Hills for a reason. To escape my past in LA. Not to keep putting my family in danger."I said

"But good came out of it."He says

"Scott,if I'm in danger,that means everyone around me,anyone I talked to,anyone I even sat next to. Scott,that means you,Isaac,Alec,Stiles,my Dad,and Kira and Lydia. They are all in danger,because of me. What I can do,puts everyone at risk."I explain

"What are you saying,Bella?"He asks

"Scott,I think I need to let you go. It's to protect you from me."I said,my eyes watering

"Bella,the only way I can ever protect you is if we are together."He says

"Scott,get this through your head,to keep you away from me. I have to let you go. I don't want you to get hurt."I cried

"Bella..I've been with you through the worst. But you can't let me go."He says

"Your the one that I love,but I have to say good-bye. Scott."I cried

He kissed me,and then held me in his arms.

"I will always love you,Bella."He says

"Me too,Scott. But right now,I have to let you go."I choked

"I understand."He says

He climbed out of my window,and then I sat in my room and cried. I had to let Scott go,it was for his own good. I knew that. But it was hard.

Dad walked in,looking worried.

"Bella,I heard what I thought was screaming,are you alright?"asked Dad,panicked

I hugged him,and I sobbed.

"Dad..I had to let him go,there's an Alpha after me."I cried

He gave me that fatherly hug,that I was used to when I was scared,or sad.

"It's okay,Bella. It's gonna be okay."He says

"How is it ever going to be okay?"I cried

After he left,I sat at my desk,and looked through the photo album I got from Lydia for my birthday. Before everything went crazy. There was a picture of me and Scott and Lydia and Stiles. On our way to the preserve for a party. And it made me hurt inside.

The Next Day,was I acted like I did on my first day of school..it felt like a thousand years ago. I was depressed,yes.

"Hey fire-starter."grinned Reece

"Leave me alone."I said

"Why would I leave,such a pretty girl like you,alone?Especially when there's a big bad Alpha after you. Scott failed to do the job."He grins

I started melting my locker. Well it was heating up.

"Leave me,alone. Now."I threaten

He put his hand on my shoulder.

"C'mon,I'm better than Scott."He grins

I elbowed him in the stomach. And I walked away,I sighed to myself. Then I remembered,I sit next to Scott in class. That wasn't going to help.

"Hey Bella."said Kira

I waved,and took my seat,her dad was the new history teacher after all. And then I put my head down,ignoring the fact that Scott was sitting next to me. And Reece was by me. It felt like I stepped into a Twilight movie,to be honest.

"Hey Bella."grinned Reece

Scott growled.

"Both of you,stop."I sighed

I focused on class,my grades sucked. I wasn't gonna let the fact that I felt like my life just went completely crazy,get to me. Which,it already had.

After class,I walked over to my partly damaged locker.

"Bella."Scott sighs

"We are not supposed to see each other,remember?"I reminded him

"I know,but Bella you can't ignore me,when right now you need me the most."He says

"Your basically saying that I am a disgrace to all women,because I can't be able to watch out for myself?"I scoffed

I slammed my locker and stormed off angrily.
