Don't Say You're Goodbyes Yet

After the recent attack on Bella's life, Edward has been rather distant twords her. He refuses to to overlook his and his families flaw, and won't let go of Jasper's attack. Bella, however, has done exactly the opposite. Bella has not only let it go, but she feels horribly guilty for the entire thing. Not only that, but she continually asks Edward to turn her into a vampire so that they could be able to live together immortally. One day, after weeks of unspoken distance between Edward and Bella, Edward asks Bella to join him for a walk in the forest. He then tells her coldly that he's leaving Forks never to see her again. He says that their relationship would never work out for him, and that he must leave. Bella is heartbroken. She lays in the forest all night, and then lives in denial and depression for the next three months. I know in Edward's heart that he was just as hurt and heartbroken as Bella was, but that he felt he had to get away from her to protect her. I can only hope and predict that Bella will have to be in real danger to convice Edward to return.
