Lilliana Swan (Unedited)

Chapter 29

Jacob, Leah, and Seth were standing outside.

"I know they're out there somewhere, but I can't hear them anymore. It's so quiet." Jacob said

"I stopped hearing them, too, the second I decided to leave. It's nice." Leah said

"You know you can't stay here." Jacob said

"But I don't have any place..." Leah said

"I can't trust you with the Cullens. You hate them too much. You don't even like me." Jacob said

"I don't have to. I just have to follow you." Leah said

"Look, Seth doesn't want you here. Neither do i." Jacob said

"Being unwanted isn't exactly a new thing for me." Leah said

"Jake say something." I say

"He doesn't have to. I'll stay out of your way. I'll do whatever you want, except go back to Sam's pack and be the pathetic ex-girlfriend he can't get away from. You don't know how many times I wished I could imprint on someone. Anyone." Leah said

"Just to the break the connection." Jacob said

Leah nods her head.

"All right. I'm gonna do a perimeter run." Jacob said

Jacob takes off. I walk over to Leah.

"Don't let him get to Leah, he is just hurting." I said

I turn and head back inside. I head to where the family is. I walk up to Jasper who wraps his arms around me. Carlisle is looking at a xray.

"Your rib is cracked. But there are no splinters. You haven't punctured anything." Carlisle said

"Yet." Edward said

"Shut up Edward." I said

"No I won't. it's breaking her bones now. It's crushing you from the inside out. Carlisle, tell her what you told me. Tell her." Edward said

"Carlisle, tell me. It's all right." Bella said

"The fetus... (I glared at him) baby isn't compatible with your body. It's too long. It won't allow you to get the nutrition you need. It's starving you by the hour. I can't stop it, and I can't slow it down. At this rate, your heart will give out before you can deliver." Carlisle said

I walk over to Bella and grab her hand.

"Then I'll hold on as long as I can, and then..." Bella said

"Bella. There are some conditions that even venom can't overcome. You understand? I'm sorry." Carlisle said

"She will be fine. Everything will turn okay in the end." I said

"Edward, I'm sorry." Bella said

"I can't live without you." Edward said

"You won't. your gonna have a part of me. He'll need you." Bella said

"Do you honestly think that I could love it or even tolerate it if it killed you?" Edward said

"It's not his fault. You have to accept what is." Bella said

"Because you've given me no choice. Bella, we're supposed to be partners, remember? But you decided this on your own. You've decided to leave me." Edward said

"Don't see it that way." Bella said

"Well, I have no other way to see it. 'Cause it's me who'll lose you. And I don't choose that. I don't choose that." Edward said
