Chapter 2

Edward’s POV

I started to pace back and forth in my tiny motel room. I did not know what to do. Do I go back? To her? What if she really was with him? What if she really loved him? What if she was over me? I know she sounded happy to hear me over the phone but I just did not know what was going on.

I felt as though my heart was torn in two. I sat down on the bed and looked up. I stared at the wall, trying to sort out my feelings.

This whole thing could go in so many different ways.

The first way was that she did move on. She loved Jake, a werewolf. And was getting on perfectly fine without me.

But if that was true, Alice would not have had that vision. Alice would not have flown all the way to Forks unless she really thought Bella was going to die.

The second way was that she did not necessarily move on yet, but she was going to. It seemed as though things were going to be okay. She seemed happy and alive.

But she did sound happy to hear my voice. That must mean that she still loves me.

I did not want to give myself false hope, but I could not help but think that maybe she wanted me to come back to Forks. She might just want to try again. Maybe we could pick up from where we left off.

But that would be so wrong. Apparently I hurt her so much. I deserve to rot away in this hell hole.

I laid back onto the bed, staring up at the ceiling.

The third way, I could go back to Forks and slowly earn her trust back. We did not necessarily have to be together, but I just needed to be near her. I just wanted to be by her. I just wanted to make sure that she was okay.

Especially with that werewolf. Attraction to trouble, I smirked. She just could not get away from the mythical creatures, now could she? Especially a young werewolf, she could get in a lot more trouble with him than she ever could with me.
