I stood on the edge of the cliff and looked at the churning water below me.
Bella.
I smiled and closed my eyes. I was only doing this for the sound of his voice.
Yes? I answered him inside my head.
Don't do this.
You wanted me to be human, I reminded him, Well, watch me.
Please. For me.
But you won't stay with me any other way.
Please...
I rolled onto the balls of my feet.
"No, Bella!"
That was not Edward's voice...
"Bella, wait for me!"
Edward was gone. I didn't have to wait for him.
I turned around. Jacob was running up the path behind me. I sighed. He would never let me jump from the top.
"I told Sam you'd do something like this," Jacob panted, "So he let me come back. We can't cliff-dive today Bells, there's a giant storm brewing."
I glanced at the sky. He was right.
"Fine Jake. Let's go back to yours. We can do this another time."
So he put his arm around my shoulder and we walked away from the edge.
