Bella's Pov

I stuffed my hand through my back pocket, and felt unnecessary breaths come out staggered within me. The charm bracelet that Jacob gave me was burned into my mind; as if it were attached to me by some super glue. In my backpocket is where it rests, and it is not going to stay there very long, mainly because I do not think I could bare to have the mutant occupying, however little of my thoughts, any part of me; mainly because if I think any more of him, I may indeed go mad.

I slowly backed my way towards the door, but that was not before Edward cocked his head towards me as if to ask " Where are you going?" I mouthed that I was just going for a walk. I needed to clear my head, and by staying in the same place, for who knows how long, is doing nothing for me. Edward slowly nodded his head, as I turned the metal knob behind me and slowly backed away into the open forest.

Edward has been very close to my side ever since the incident occurred. Some would think him clingy, yet I find him being more endearing. His affectionate eyes every time I stare halts me from whatever I was to do. I smiled at that thought, but I had note important matters to deal with. My feet pressed against the wood panned floor, tilting from side to side, thinking of where must this bracelet shall go to be burned.

I trudged down the wooden stairs and began to look at the tree logs. My feet moved beneath me, taking me into the depth of the forest. The green leaves curved around the branches, which curled around me. I pushed the branches that longed to stay in my sight, and continued to walk. My mind has not decided where to burn the last part of what was left to combine me and HIM together as one, but my legs were moving somewhere.

As I ran in some unknown direction, the trees that I passed looked better off dead than stay standing up burnt to the crisp of the stem. My un-beating heart thumped in my chest as I realized where I am now. It used to be the place where I would be when Edward disappeared from my life. The homey feeling that I used to feel was long gone, but I couldn't shake the memories that flooded me.

The way I yearned Jacob's touch when we went on walks. His comforting arms when I was discovered in the woods. Even though Sam found me, I know that I need up woven in Jacob's arms at some point during some state of my unconsciousness. Charlie worried for my health during that prolonged period of time when I was separated from my true love, Edward.

Jacob had tried to make himself fill the emptiness in my heart, but that hole that was made can only be healed from the person that caused. No matter how much pain Edward had put me through, there was no possible way that I can deny my love for him. I now realize that Jacob wished to be the one to occupy my heart. He may have pledged that he still wanted me to stay a mortal and that he was better for me, but my heart yearned for Edward.

And Edward only.

Though there was a point where a tiny little part of my heart believed that Edward would never come back for me. And that tiny little part was where Jacob made his move. He claimed that little part that was vacant, and was not going to let go. He stuck to me like glue when all I wanted to do was detach himself away from me.
