This is a story i am writing. It takes place shortly after Eclipse...
Chapter one
I stared in horror at Jacobs limp body on the ground smeared with blood. Then I looked at Edward, his outline glowed in the moonlight.
I couldnt believe it. Jacobs dead and Edward killed him.I felt a tear start to roll down my cheek. I ran over to Edward and started to bang my hands against his chest. I hate you. I never want to see you again I started to sob.
Edward wrapped his arms around my waist and wouldnt let go. Bella. He said staring into the darkness. I had no choice. Jacob broke the treaty. He came into our territory and did not leave I had no choice.
Yes you did. I sobbed. You could have left him alone.
You wouldnt understand. He picked me up and started to run back to his house.
Put me down, put me down! I screamed as he ran. I kicked and kicked. Even tried to throw a few punches, but he didnt even slightly ease his grip on me. He threw open the front door and laid me on one of the couches in the front room. I saw him whisper something to Alice, when he finished she dashed out the door. I rolled over so that my back was toward Edward and closed my eyes tightly. I tried to think of Jacob smiling. Laughing. Then I thought of Edward. How could someone so beautiful do something so terrible.I shuddered.
Someone tapped on the shoulder. I turned around to see Esme standing next to me. Her smile was bright and inviting. Would you like some hot chocolate?
Sure. I whispered. She grabbed my arm and rushed into the kitchen. I was stumbling behind her, when she thrusted me into a chair. Before I could even balance myself there was a cup of hot chocolate in front of me with mini marshmallows. I took a sip.
All better? She asked.
No.
Well you probably just need some sleep.
No. I shocked even myself by what I was about to say. I need Edward.
Ok, then. Esme stood up and strode to the doorway of the kitchen, where she called Edward in her head. Within seconds Edward was standing next to her, his eyes locked on me. He picked me up again and ran us to his room. This time I didnt struggle. He sat me down on a couch since they did not find it necessary to buy any beds.
He sat next to me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders. I sat my head on his cold, rock hard chest. He was like a giant ice pack, here to heal my wounds. He was the first to speak. Bella, Im sorry. You know I hate to see you hurt. And Im not surprised if you never forgive me.
There was a short pause.
Edward. In the end, you know I could never leave you
We just sat there in the silence, in the darkness. Every so often he would kiss me on my forehead or just brush away the hair from my face.
Chapter one(EPOV)
Bella and I were sitting under a tree, looking up at the moon, when I smelt something that sent a shiver down my spine, werewolf. There was only one, but they were awfully close to the border. I stood up, even though Bella grabbed onto my hand in protest. I gave her a look that said that I needed to get up. She let go and pouted. Oh how I loved it when she pouted. Soon a russet brown wolf came into view.
Jacob? I heard Bella question. It nodded his head yes in response. Before I could respond Bella was talking. Jacob. What are you doing here?
There was a short pause.
Tell Bella that I miss her and I wanted to say hi. Jacob thought.
He said that he misses you and he wanted to say hi.
Well I dont want to. I was partially shocked that Bella would say this. I told you I never want to see you again.
I noticed that Jacob was inching his way towards the border. I gave him a warning glance. She never wants to see me again and I cant live without her, so kill me. Please, but dont tell her I told you to.
Jacob finally sprinted the last few feet to the border. I crouched down, but there was really no need. This was a fake fight that was going to end badly. It was over in seconds. I watched Bella stare in horror at Jacobs body that was now smeared in blood. Then she looked at me. Her expression almost killed me, it was a mixture of fear, hatred, and love. I watched as a single tear started to roll down her cheek. She ran over to me and started to hit me.
I hate you. And I never want to see you again. She started to cry even harder. I wrapped my arms around her waist.
Bella. I said staring into the darkness trying not to look at her. I never should have killed him. Now my angel is crying and an angel should be happy.
I had no choice, Jacob broke the treaty. He came into our territory and he did not leave I had no choice.
Yes you did. She sobbed. You could have left him alone.
You wouldnt understand. I picked her up and started to run back to my house.
Put me down, put me down! She screamed as I ran. She kicked and kicked, even tried to throw a few punches, but I didnt even slightly ease my grip on her. I threw open the front door and laid her on one of the couches in the front room.
I walked over to Alice. Go get Jacobs body. He wanted me to kill him and he crossed the line. Bella thinks it was just because of the treaty. Lets keep it that way, I whispered so low that only Alice could hear Then she dashed out the door. I ran up to my room as fast as I could. Bella just needed to be alone for awhile. I threw myself onto the couch and grabbed the nearest set of headphones and listened to music.
About 15 minutes later I heard Esme call me. Edward, please come into the kitchen. Bella wants youI got up and dashed to the kitchen, to stand next to Esme. I locked gazes with Bella. I picked her up, but this time she did not struggle and I ran back up to my room. I sat on the couch with her on my lap and cradled her. She pushed her head into my chest.
Bella, Im sorry. You know I hate to see you hurt. And Im not surprised if you never forgive me.
There was a short pause.
Edward. In the end, you know I could never leave you
We just sat there in the silence, in the darkness. Every so often I would kiss her on the forehead or just brush away a hair from her face.
Chapter 2
A week had passed since I witnessed Edward; my sweet, kill Jacob Black. The phone rang. I picked it up to find it was Edward. Hello,
Hi, Bella.
What do you want? Charlie and I are about to leave to give our respects. I asked.
Actually, thats what I was calling about. Would you mind if I came along? I think I owe him that much.
Sure, that would be great. I was excited that Edward was finally being kind to Jacob, even if he was dead. But you have to get here as fast as you can.
No need. I am already here. And surely enough when I looked out the window Edwards silver Volvo was parked there.
Kay, bye then.
Bye. I hung up the phone and ran up to my room. I grabbed a new, black purse off of the hook and then headed outside to Edwards car. He hopped out. Hi, Edward. He kissed my forehead. I felt the red slowly creep up, until it hit my cheeks.
You know, sometimes I wish that you were mad at me. I mean, I killed your best friend.
Shhh. Charlie might hear you. I hissed.
Kay. But couldnt you just show a little anger? He asked generally curious.
Fine. There was a short pause. I hate you and your evil I yelled only loud enough for Edward to hear.You suck you suck, you pay the buck. You are really out of luck. By then, I was howling with laughter.
Never mind. He growled.
Im sorry. It was just so tempting.
You are so lucky I love you. He lifted up one corner of his mouth to present me with my favorite smile.You dont know how lucky.
Whatever. I pushed my shoulder into his side to try to set him off balance. But my efforts were futile. He didnt budge.
Bella, time to go. Charlie shouted from inside the house.
Come on Edward. I grabbed his hand and started to walk inside. Charlie was standing there waiting impatiently.
Hey, Charlie. Edward said. Would you mind if I accompanied you today?
Of course not, I bet Jacob would have liked that.
Yah, let bygones be bygones. Edward said coolly.
Great then, lets go. I grabbed my jacket and ran out to Charlies cruiser. Charlie and Edward soon followed. The car slowly lurched backward as we pulled out. I looked at Edward. This was the first time Ive actually seen Edward wear a seatbelt. I glanced at the ring that was now on my finger, I slowly slid it off and started to turn it around and around in my fingers. Examining every inch, every centimeter of it; thinking about what this little ring symbolized. It meant that Edward was mine and only mine for the next eternity. He reached out his hand and I handed him the ring, unsure what he was planning on doing. Then he took a hold of my hand and gently slid the ring back on my finger, which was its rightful home. I blushed and then he smiled. The car slowly came to a stop.
Were here. Charlie said from the front seat. I started to hyperventilate, but Charlie took no notice. He just crawled out of the car.
I felt Edwards cool breath against my ear as he whispered, Everything will be alright. Just relax.
After I finally got my breathing under control Edward and I strolled out of the car, or at least attempted to, because of course when I always find something to trip on. Luckily Edward caught me before we could make a big scene out of it. Charlie was already at the front door and was about to knock when we finally reached the porch. When Billy opened the door I had to bite my lip to keep from gasping in horror at what stood before me. Billy was wearing a pair of old, worn sweats and his eyes were all red and puffy with dark black circles under them, from many sleepless nights crying. And his hair was all matted and greasy from what looked like not taking a shower or brushing it.
He looked at Charlie and me.Bella, Charlie. How nice to see you. Glad you could make it. Then he saw Edward and gave him an evil glare, like he was the lowest scum in the world.
Hey, Billy.Edward said calmly. Im so sorry for your loss.
Billy just snorted and proceeded to showing us to the couch. Tension hung heavy in the air, this is one of those moments when I wished Jasper were here. After several moments Billy finally talked. Would you like something to drink?
Everyone replied no. We spent the next several hours talking about the good(and bad) memories and moments about Jacob Black, but when the sky was slowly starting to turn a deep shade of purple it was time to go. By the time we made it to our car, it was dark and a cold breeze hung in the air.
Chapter 3
I leaned against the window and stared at the trees passing by. Edward had a pained look on his face.
Esme. He said. Shes not to happy I came here.
But I thought that she was too far away. I whispered.
So did I.
He stared into my eyes. I had to concentrate on how to breathe because it was coming out in uneven gasps.
Whats wrong? He asked.
Youre dazzling me again.
Oh, really. Well how is this for dazzling? He leaned over and gave me a kiss.
Id give it an A A car horn going off brought us back to reality. Before I could see what was happening Edward jumped on top of me, creating a firm wall between me and anything breakable. Within seconds there were squealing tires and the car being flipped numerous times, but it ended just as fast as it started.
What the heck just happened? I screamed.
Well, we were about to crash into a car, when Charlie swerved causing us to flip.I was finally able to take in everything around us. We were on the side of the road and the car was destroyed. All of the windows were smashed and the roof was caved in.
Charlie. I said under my breath. Charlie I screamed.
Bella. I am so, so sorry. Charlies dead. I couldnt move, I couldnt speak, and I couldnt breathe.
Bella, please breath. You are starting to turn purple. I drew in a breath, then black.
Chapter 4
I woke up on my bed. I laid there confused, trying to figure out what had happened last night. Thats when I remembered: Charlie. I would never see him again or hear his voice. Before I could cry, someone knocked on the door. I slowly stumbled downstairs. I opened the door to see a police officer standing there.
Hi Im Officer Tim.
Hi. I said confused.
May I come in?
Sure. I showed him to our living room, where he sat down on the couch.
So Bella, as you probably already know. Im here to take you to your mother, Renees place. Before he could react, I leapt out of the place I was sitting and ran to my truck. I threw the key into the ignition and heard my car roar to life. I drove to Edwards place pushing 60 mph, but no more than that because every time I went a little too fast, the truck wheezed with in protest. Finally their house came into view. I turned off the car and hopped out. Not breaking my steady stride. I threw open the front door.
Edward. I yelled, No reply. Alice? Jasper? No reply. Anyone.
Soon I heard the sirens of Tims car. He walked in, Bella, what are you doing here?
Im looking for Edward.
And who, may I ask, is Edward?
My boyfriend.
Okay, but nobody has lived here in over 200 years. He said confused.
No, the Cullens live here. All of them do; Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, Esme, Carlisle, and Edward I pause, then ran up to Edwards room. I slowed to a walk. I was hoping that when I opened the door, I would see Edward sitting there. Listing to his music, then he would smile at me. His door slowly creaked open. I gasped. There was nothing, no cds, no curtains, no couch, and especially no Edward. I ran to Alice and Japers room; nothing. Rosalie and Emmetts room; nothing. I didnt even need to see Carlisle and Esmes room. I broke into hysterics. Tim came over to me and gently led me to his car.
How could he leave me? He promised. I hate him, but I also love him. I hope he lives an eternity of misery. Bella, you know you dont want that your just mad. With that I closed my eyes and thought of all the happy memories I had of him. When we went to the meadow, when we first met ( sorta a happy memory), and our first kiss. As I thought of our first kiss, it felt like my heart was being torn apart. Soon we reached the airport that was going to take me to my doom.

The plane ride was long and uncomfortable. I didnt say a word, what was there to say. My love, my life had left me for the second time. And this time I wasnt sure if I would be able to recover. My heart was already damaged, but going through that kind of pain again would be torture. I spent pretty much the whole plane ride in the bathroom crying my eyes out.
Everyone please sit down and buckle your seat belt. We will be landing soon. Someone said over an intercom. Within 10 minutes we had landed and were about to exit the plane. I was so hoping that Edward and all the Cullens were on the other side of the door, ready to jump out and say got ya. But of course that didnt happen. But the thought of him made me want to cry and I felt like someone had punctured a hole in my heart. Renee and Phil were waiting for me and my mom looked like she had done quite a bit of crying.
Hi, honey. She said, trying to sound cheerful. I just looked at her, I didnt even smile.
Your room is all ready for you. And your stuff should arrive soon. Phil said, trying to lighten the mood. It seemed that people were trying to do a lot today. But it didnt help much.
We all headed to the parking lot and I dont know what happened to me, but the sight of the car made me start to freak out, as the images of the accident flashed through my head. It took quite a bit of coaxing to get me in the car, but I was on edge the whole way to the house. I looked at the sun, which made me think of the way that vampires glittered in the sun. This time the pain was unbearable, I held my stomach to make the pain stop.
Renee opened the door to the house. The house made me think of the time Edward save me from James. Once again the pain hit, but this time it felt more like I had been hit, full impact, by a semi-truck. I ran up to my room and flung myself onto my bed, before long I was curled up into a ball against the wall, sobbing. First I had lost Jacob, then Charlie, but now Edward. What else could go wrong? I sat that way for awhile, until Renee came into the room.
Would you like some dinner? She asked. I nodded my head no.Whats wrong honey? I mean I know you lost your dad, but you need to eat.
Whats wrong, whats wrong? I was screaming now.Edward left again mom, thats whats wrong.
Honey, whos Edward?
My boyfriend mom, actually my fiancée.
Sweetie, you never got engaged. I stared at her in confusion, but then I saw that there was no longer a ring on my hand. Had Edward been real or just a figment of my imagination?
Chapter 6
I started school several days after arriving at Renee and Phils place. First, I had gym. Of course I didnt even really try, knowing that I would either hurt someone else or myself, but also I had no enthusiasm for school anymore. My day kind of went like this till lunch, not caring. At lunch I had to find a place to sit, but of course there was nowhere to sit by myself. It was either the perky, happy people or the emo/goths. The perky, happy people reminded me to much of Alice. So I sat with the group that had nothing in common with them: the emo/goths.
I didnt bother with introductions; I just threw my tray onto the table and sat down. I didnt eat anything, I just played with it. These people seemed to sense that I was depressed because they left me alone to eat and sulk in my misery. Soon the lunch bell rang and I got up to throw away my untouched food. Then I remembered how they always did the same thing. I through my food away, then ran to the bathroom. I started to cry. Then some of the people I had sat with walked in. All they did was hug me, when the tall one, with the red hair, slid something into my hand. Before I could see what it was they walked out. I opened up my palm to see a small razor.
I might be depressed, but I am not a cutter.I thought to myself. I slid the razor into my bag. Then I headed off to my next class.
After school I went home, and went into my room closing the door behind me, and closed the curtains covering my window, so it was almost as dark as night. Then I cried and cried till I fell asleep. When I woke up the house was silent and it was dark outside, so I opened up the curtains. A warm breeze blew. I walked into the bathroom and splashed water on my face. I decided I needed a shower, so I took one. The water felt like it was numbing the pain a little bit, but not enough. So I got out and went back to my room. I sat on my bed till the sun slowly started to crawl up into the sky.
I cant go back to school. It hurts too much I will ditch. That sounds good. So I packed my bag to go to school. At about seven I headed down the stairs.
How did you sleep? Renee asked. I didnt reply, I just kept walking. I of course rode the bus to school, to make it look like I really did go to school. But that was not my intentions.
(f.y.i. i am not say that all goth/emo's cut. Just these two do...)
