Emma woke up the next day smiling and getting ready for school like she always did, not expecting how the day was going to turn out to be. She smiled racing to the bathroom and laughing with Bella who would goth there first. She laughed doing her hair while Bella would brush her teeth and talk, but in reality Emma never understood what she was saying. She went into her closet pulling out ripped jeans, white tank-top, and a creme cardigan.

She said good morning to her father kissing him on the cheek before grabbing the keys and running to the car, so Bella couldn't sit in the front seat. During the drive, she laughed hysterically at Bella telling her little jokes or what was happening in school. When she got to lunch, her smile disappeared because she noticed Edward and his family were not in school. Bella noticed and smiled leaning into her sister.

" Maybe something came up." Bella said and Emma nodded turning back to her friends and smiling. Emma went to volleyball taking her mind off of everything till she got home. Angela drove Bella home while Emma had the truck. The first thing she saw when returning home was Edward in the driveway. She smiled turning to him when she got out.

" Hey, you should have seen me at practice. I was-"

" Come take a walk with me. " Edward said making her stop taking her volleyball stuff from the car and leave following him into the woods. They got deep in the woods before he turned around looking to her, but not into her eyes." We got to leave Forks."

" Why ?"

" Carlisle's supposed to be ten years older than he looks. People are starting to notice."

" Okay, well. Is there any chance you can stay. Maybe we can fake my death or something." Emma said as a joke noticing Edward looking to her a bit oddly. She didn't like the way he was one bit." What ?"

" I mean't my family and myself."

" Edward, what happened with Jasper,...it's nothing."

" You're right. It was nothing. Nothing the way I always expected. And nothing compared to what could have happened. You just don't belong in my world, Emma." Edward said making her slightly glare at him. Not playfully.

" I belong with you and you know that. It's always been me and you."

" No, you don't-"

" I'm coming !" She yelled.

" Emma, I don't want you to come."

" You don't want me ? How can you say that ? What the hell is wrong with you ? You have a stick up your small ass or something ?"

" No, but if it's not too much to ask-"

" Seriously ?!" She yelled again.

"  Can you at least promise me something? Don't do anything reckless. For Charlie's sake and I'll promise something to you in return. This is the last time you'll ever see me. I won't come back. And you can go on with your life without any interference from me. It will be like I never existed, I promise."

" You know what, screw you. Screw you and the way you made me love you. Screw your whole life. You can't just make me fall in love with you and then rip me away from you. It's not how it works."

" You're just not good for me."

" I'm not good enough for you ?"

" I'm just sorry, I let this go on for so long."

" Like I said, screw you and go to hell you asshole." Emma said with a deep glare curling her fist and turning her back not caring. She was so angry that she could of sworn she saw red, but then she stopped. She turned around and realize that was the last time she was going to see him and she said that ?" Edward ?"

She got to the place they were before he left seeing he was gone. She looked, left, then right, behind her, and front seeing no one in sight.

" Edward ! Edward !" She said taking off in a run. Emma then stopped and she cried. She cried and she cried and she cried. She covered her mouth before she walked back home. It was dark. Very dark to be exact. She saw Charlie was home and her car still parked. Emma opened the front door and closed it feeling her heartbreaking a bit.

" I don't know. She was at practice then she left."

" What if someone kidnapped her ?"

" Do you think she went back to practice and got stuck at the gym ?" Claire asked while Emma walked into the house right behind her. She saw in the living room was Charlie, Bella, Claire, and Jacob.

" I'm fine." She said making all of them turn her head.

" Oh my god, Emma." Bella said running to her sister and giving her a big hug. Charlie looked beyond relieved and got off the phone.

" Emma Violet Swan, where the hell were you ?"

" We been looking for you."

" Charlie thought something bad happened." Claire said while Emma looked up to all of them with tears in her eyes.

" Edward, broke up with me...and I took a walk in the woods."

" Oh, Emma." Bella said giving her sister a hug. Emma pushed her away and shook her head.

" I don't wanna talk about it. I wanna sleep. Goodnight." Emma said running up the stairs and leaving the others. She slammed her door shut and looked around her room seeing everything was different. Emma was puzzled till she noticed it was the things that had to do with him. She went over to her laptop seeing the picture she framed was gone. Her laptop background was now blank. Emma went over to her closet seeing the dress Alice got her for her birthday was gone. The necklace Rosalie got her, gone. Carlisle and Esme's gift, gone.

She fell to her knees feeling weak and let out a small cry curling her fist in so much anger and pain. Something was hurting her hand, so she looked down seeing the ring. He didn't take that. The promise ring he gave her was still on her finger gleaming in the light. A small, very small, almost unnoticeable smile played on her face. It was the last and only thing she had left that could remind her of the Cullen's.
