Okay, this is the REAL first chapter…it's told from Alice, Edward, and Bella's POV's, it may be a little confusing, but I'll try my best! Everything that happened with Jacob saving her did, this is just a different version of what happened after…yeah. R&R THIS chapter, please!!!
Alice POV:
No! Please tell me she didn't. I just had a vision of Bella throwing herself off a cliff. No, no, no, no, please no. How could she do this? Edward. If he hadn't left her, she wouldn't have. None of this would have happened. I kept watching, waiting for her to come back up, but she never did. 'I have to go to Denali.' I thought. I had to tell everyone else. But how? They all loved Bella as much as Edward and I did, even Rosalie. I sped toward Denali, trying to figure out what to tell them.
I pulled in the driveway, and saw Jasper standing in the middle of it, looking extremely worried. I looked in the mirror; my expression looked like I saw someone die. Well, I did. As I thought that, the reality set in. Bella was gone. We would never see her again. I started shaking, and Jasper had me out of the car and in his arms, rocking me back and forth, trying to comfort me. "What happened?" he asked.
I looked up at him, and started sobbing. He ran me inside and set me on the couch. Everyone crowed around me, wondering what happened. "What happened?" Jasper asked again.
"Bella, she…she…she jumped off a cliff and killed herself." I said. I saw Esme's expression turn tortured; that was the same way she tried to die. Rosalie looked a little confused, and asked, "Why?'
I just lost it. "Why?" I screeched. "WHY? Maybe because we left her alone, with no goodbyes, no anything! WHY did we do that?! Maybe because we were family to her and we abandoned her!" I collapsed into Jasper, sobbing again. "We have to go to the funeral," Carlisle stated quietly. Everyone looked at him. "Alice is right. We were her family, we need to be there." I couldn't take anymore of this. I ran out to my car and drove away as fast as I could, not paying attention to where I was going.
After about half an hour of driving, I realized where I was going. Back to Forks. I had to do what I could for Charlie. I pulled up to the familiar house, and parked where Bella's truck would have been. I sighed, and walked inside. The sight of the people there was enough to kill me, if I weren't already dead…
Edward's POV:
I was on my way to Denali to check in with my family, like I did every couple of months. I saw Alice in the driveway with Jasper, sobbing into him. What happened? I drove by and parked a few miles away from the house, then ran back to listen to what happened.
Alice was trying to tell everybody something. "Bella, she…" What? This was about Bella? I listened closer, at the same time, trying to find a recent vision in her head. "She..she jumped off a cliff and killed herself." I found the vision at the same time as I heard her say those words. No. No, she wouldn't have done that. I ran back to my car, speeding as fast as I could for Forks. There had to be a mistake. There was no way my Bella was dead.
When I got to her house, again, I parked a few miles away and ran back. I walked up the steps and opened the door. Bella was standing there, dripping wet, but very much alive. She reeked of werewolf…that would explain why Alice thought she died! She couldn't see them!!! Bella was trembling, and was trying to say something. Then, she fainted. I laughed, and picked her up. I brought her over to the couch and set her down. I idly wondered when she would come to. I didn't have a long wait. Her eyes fluttered open, and she rasped, "Edward?" I nodded, smiling. That made her heart beat too fast, so I toned it down a bit. She threw her arms around me and said, "I love you." I had gone too long with out hearing those words. "I love you too, Bella, forever and always." I heard someone come in the door. 'Crap' I thought. It had to be Charlie. "Wait a minute' I told myself, 'Those footsteps are too light to be Charlie…' Both Bella and I were staring toward the door, and Bella fainted again when she saw who it was. Why was she here?
Bella's POV:
Jacob dropped me off at my house when he thought I was okay, and I walked inside. I was still running on an adrenaline high, and I was restless. I went upstairs to take a shower, and stayed in it for a long time. The warm water felt so good after the icy lake. I finished, got dressed, and went downstairs to start Charlie's dinner. I hoped he didn't know what happened.
I got to the bottom of the stairs and froze. This wasn't possible. Was I really dead? I had to be, otherwise Edward wouldn't be sitting in my living room. I tried to speak, but the shock overtook me, and I fainted.
I don't know how much time had gone by since I passed out, but I guessed it wasn't long, because Charlie wasn't there yet. I opened my eyes, and saw Edward staring down at me, anxious for me to wake up. "Edward?" I said. My voice was all raspy from my near-drowning. He smiled, and nodded. I could feel my heartbeat pick up, and he abruptly stopped smiling. I laughed internally; it was like nothing had changed. He was still overprotective of me. I threw my arms around him and whispered, "I love you." I hadn't said that in too long. "I love you too, Bella, forever and always." Then, I heard someone come in the door. Was Charlie home? That wouldn't be good. Were the rest of the Cullens coming here? That would be great. The person rounded the corner, and froze. I looked at her for barely a second before I passed out again. Seeing both of them again was too much too handle….
Okay, sorry about the cliffhangers, but I had to. And, besides, you already know who it is. But, how else would I get you to want more? I need at least 5 (new) reviews to this chapter, not the old one, before I continue. Tell me what you think!!!
