A year. It wasn't long enough. Not anywhere even close to being eternity. But I guess it would have to do. It was all we got and it was all I was ever going to get.
I couldn't believe I had failed like this. Allowed this to happen. Some times knowing the future, knowing what was coming did nothing to actually prepare you for it happening. Alice had sworn we had more time. That it wasn't going to happen for another few months. But it turns out someone had been toying with us, toying with her.
I couldn't help but smile sadly as their faces flashed in my minds. Alice's bubbly personality, Emmett's quiet happiness and protectiveness, Jasper and his reserves never getting close but always being close enough. Rosalie, and her constant quiet support of everything Edward and I had done, well support after I learned why things had been so weird between us.
My heart broke as his face floated into my mind, his perfect beauty and never ending love. My love. I was meant to spent eternity with him. That was the whole point of the wedding. I gave him what he wanted and I got what I wanted – eternity with him.
Eternity wasn't as long as I thought it would be.
My head snapped up as the door at the far end of the room opened and he stepped through. I never thought it was possible to hate someone so much. And yet a low growl came from within me as he smiled and stepped closer to me.
"Now, now Bella. There's no need for that. Its time."
I stopped growling, instead choosing to glare at him with everything I had. He turned and left the way he had entered. I followed slowly behind. I'm sorry Edward. Please forgive me and know that I'll always love you. Taking a deep breath I stepped through the door and out into my ending.
