My best friend was Heather, we use to talk every day and hung out after school before I met Edward. Ever since then, I havent spoken to her in almost 6 months, I wonder what she thinks of me now? It doesnt matter, my past life must be forgotten if I want to be with Edward. If only I knew the future, I would know if I could spend the rest of eternity with him, or the rest of eternity 6 feet below the earth.
The past few days Edward has seem a little bit off, his kisses werent as sweet and he could never look into my eyes and tell me he loves me. Something was wrong, but the only response that came out of his mouth was that everything was okay. How did I know that for sure? I've been with Edward for 6 months, I should know a person well enough when they're living with me for 6 months! Even at nights when I ask if he'll come to bed with me, he shakes his head and goes off into the night without even telling me where hes been! Edward has me worried, but I'm more afraid that hes getting closer to leaving me one day..
When Edward left for the 5th time, I followed him but kept my scent covered with his jacket so the only scent he would smell would be himself. I couldnt keep up, Edward is way too fast for me but I had to keep up the pace and find out what was wrong before it was too late. I stopped right in my tracks as my hands began to tremble, my legs were too shaky and I had to lean against the tree stump for support before my legs finally gave out on me. I could not believe what my eyes were witnessing..
There she was, with that perfect figure, her bright blue eyes slowing dimming as her life was being sucked away by a terrible creature. Her motionless body hung in his arms like a rag doll, her beautiful face was still in tact without a scratch. Her hand was tightly clutched against his arm, holding on for her life, but she knew that would not ease her pain nor would it save her life. She looked up to gaze the bright lights, the tiny stars that were sparkling in the dark sky, a tear ran down her cheek before she screamed out in pain as the monster pressed himself against her throat in hunger. I began to cry in a soft manner, my whimper was very light as I reached out to help her but I only managed to lift one finger. My foot accidently stepped on a twig and snapped it in half while I was trying to move behind the tree. She turned her face and her eyes met mine, my heart stopped as my body shivered, that beautiful girl was Heather.
She looked at me with those tender blue eyes, filled with fear and lost hope. Heather reached with her free hand and slowly lifted it towards me, her lips were bloody by the pressure of her front teeth pressed against her bottom lip. She managed to gather what strength was left and opened her lips just enough to speak, she was trying to say something but her own voice failed her. I could read her expression, help me please was her message. Her hand fell as the final strength in her body was let out in an attemp to save herself, but sadly it was not enough. I placed my hands against my chest and held onto my shirt, the tears began to roll down my cheek but I quickly lifted up my hands and shaped them into a heart, telling her that I loved her and to forgive me. Forgive me for not being there and forgive me for not saving your life..
As Heather took in her last breath, her head fell against the monsters arms but her eyes were locked onto mine, I will never forget those tender blue eyes, reaching out for comfort but more importantly to save her own life. My eyes were fixed onto Heather, I never paid attention to the monster until he dropped her and lifted himself up. His face was dark until he took a step foward into the moon light, the monster was none other than Edward. I didnt know how to respond, should I run or stay? My legs werent in the mood to run, my whole body went into shock as he stepped foward towards me. He finally realized that it was me and turned his face in disgust, Edward has lost control over his blood thirsty side. I held onto my shirt and squeezed it tightly, I turned around and began to scream. Edward didnt move, he stared at me and whispered in a low muttered voice, "I'm sorry."
Edward was about to leave and was ready to say his goodbyes until I ran toward him and wrapped my arms around his body. "Dont leave, please" was all I could say. Edward gently pushed me away but I knew he felt regret, Edward did not know that the girl he just killed was my best friend but I had to move on even if it the pain was there. My human life is over, I gave up everything I had to be with Edward. A mere mortal will not stop me, but thinking those words made me feel pity and ruthless. I wanted to become a vampire, I knew the risks involved and Edward just reminded me why vampires are terrible creatures but I loved that terrible creature and my heart knew what it wanted. It wants him, I want him, I love him! Edward quickly grabbed me and wrapped me into his arms, he whispered slowly and told me that he would never hurt me and would rather die than not have me by his side. No matter what path Edward took, if I agree or disagree, I will always love him even through death.
