Author's Note

Before you plunge into the depths of this story you must understand a few things about the style of my writing.

I write short chapters - Sorry about that!

This story takes place right after New Moon.

I do not own any book in the Twilight series or any of its awesome characters.

I do, however, own the plot of this story and any new characters that you meet upon these pages.

All chapters are from Bella's POV unless marked otherwise.

Thank you,

Chapter 1

POV Bella

I woke up, with icy cold arms around me. I should be used to this by now, but I wasn't. I rolled over until our eyes met.

"So, what do you want to do today?" he said.

His liquid topaz eyes were usually impenetrable, but today, I could see a faint glimmer that Edward had an idea already on what we should do.

"I don't know, what do you want to do today?" I asked, playfully. A wide grin flashed to his perfect face.

I glanced to my mirror and sighed. I realized I still needed my usual "human minute." Apparently, Edward understood, for he said, "I'll be right outside," and strode out the door, but not before kissing me lightly on the cheek.

I went over to my closet and carefully decided what to wear.

It took me longer than I had expected. I didn't know what Edward had in mind for today, so I didn't know whether or not to dress casual.

I ended up in a blue peasant shirt with flaring jeans. I quickly ran the brush I kept in my room through my hair, trying to sort through all the tangles. I slid on the head band that matched my shirt over my head and put my sandals on. After one last check in the mirror, I ran downstairs.

I tried to slow at the stairs, but it was impossible to decrease my ongoing speed. I had done this often, always waiting for Edward's marble arms to break my fall.

As I went downstairs - still fast - I expected Edward to be there at the foot of the stairs waiting for me, like always. I let myself fall.

I hit the floor with a thud. It took me a minute to register that Edward had not caught me - the two surfaces felt so much alike.

"Edward?" I called. Silence was my reply.

Edward left the house.

Edward left.

Edward left me.
