BPOV

A month ago I saved him from the Volturi with the promise of my imminent vampirism, a month ago we returned to Forks, and a month ago he left me again. A month ago I realized that I didn't love him, I hated him, and I hate Edward Cullen.

I still remember the 'goodbye' in detail perfect detail, it started much the same way it had the first time…

-Flashback-

He led me back into the forest behind my house and I knew what was going to happen, honestly though this time I couldn't seem to bring myself to care. When we got what I assumed he deemed far enough yet close enough for me to not get lost but not to be overheard, he turned to me no emotion at all on his face and I braced myself.

"Bella, what you did was pure stupidity running off to Italy into the proverbial 'lion's den' to 'save' me. What were you thinking?" he began. "Scratch that I honestly don't want or care to know, I should have let them kill you, you're far too much trouble than you're worth."

I openly seethed with these words, I know he didn't love me but he just went too far.

"You know what, I know what you're here to do you conceited ass so say goodbye and leave, never come back. You mean nothing to me anymore." I yelled still staring into his emotionless, unfeeling, sickening, amber eyes.

"Goodbye Isabella Swan, you'll never see me again." And with that he was gone again.

-End Flashback-

A month ago I started my plans. I had finished school at Forks High throwing myself into my work waiting for the summer to come. Unlike the first time I didn't let their leaving hurt me I didn't become zombified I just focused on my plans, plans I would not let fail no matter what pixie psychic or self absorbed mind reader had to say about them. I was going back to Italy I was going back to join the Volturi or die trying and I refused to let anyone get in my way.
