*** Couple of weeks passed by, Bella and Mark fell for each other so deeply, Mark talks about how they will be together forever and Bella was so happy to hear him say that, they sat under the tree where they used to meet always.
“ I have been thinking about us Bella” Mark utter anxiously
“ And what have you been pondering at?” Bella smile, staring at him
“ uhmm….Bella….” he stare at her eyes and look away
“ what is it, talk to me” Bella utter worriedly
“ I… emm…. I have been thinking about it over and over…
“ About what?” Bella but-in
“ its about us going on our separate ways, Bella….am sorry” he finalize

“ you didn’t do anything wrong, nor have you offend me “ he but-in
“ then what Mark… what’s wrong? Bella still anxious
“ you won’t understand Bella” he look away
“ Then make me understand!..... I thought you said you love me and will do anything for me….so tell me what has gone over you” Bella blurt. She felt a deep sharp pain piercing her heart, she was so disappointed In him, Mark couldn’t answer any of her question nor pay attention to her but instead, he keeps on pondering at how could a wolf and human being live together forever. He was so scared not wanting to loose her, so he stood up wanting to take his leave and Bella chuckle at his reaction
“ like seriously…uhhmm … are you actually serious about this, leaving me behind without answering any of my questions? Bella exclaim while Mark try to walk away and without hesitation she grap him by his wrist”

Please talk to me Mark…..i love you, I don’t think I can leave without, you have shown me so much love, care ,joy within this short period of time i spent with you or don’t you think we are meant for each other” Bella keeps talking while he but-in
“ let’s take it as a fate” he utter warmly, Bella free off his wrist, stepping backward a bit and then turn around and walk away, she keeps walking while Mark goes after her, she walks as if she’s half dead thinking of what to do, she walks toward the cliff and try falling off the cliff and Mark scream out her name but all in vain, his heart beat fast in fear, he ran toward her and graped her wrist when she’s just about to fall off the cliff.
“Are you out of your mind “ Mark bellowed but no respond from her
“ killing yourself won’t solve the problem" he utter bitterly and then continue "it will only worsen the situation" Mark quarrel
“ I rather die than living without you in my life……you can go and marry s….Bella couldn’t end up her statement when Mark pull her closer by waist and hugged her tightly.
“am sorry…I’m sorry Bella…I’m doing this for our own benefit" he utter warmly, feeling guilty
