Chapter One – Cliff Diving

I peered over the edge of the cliff, my excitement growing; I knew his voice would come any second….

Bella. I smiled.

Yes?

Bella please don't do this! Please don't risk your life like this! I took another step forward so my feet were right to the edge. I took one deep breath. BELLA! NO! I jumped.I screamed with exhilaration and thrill as I fell to closer and closer to the inky, black water. I hit it with a powerful force, crashing into the glassy liquid and gasping at the feeling of a million cold needles pricking my entire being…. I smiled in the water and started to move upwards, but wait! What ways was upwards?

Bella! Swim upwards! Now! But I couldn't! I didn't know what way was up! I flailed my arms and legs aimlessly. They hurt like hell and were getting weak, tired. I gave up. I didn't want to live so much in this world anymore…. Without…. Edward. I thought his name for the first time in a while, knowing I would know longer have to live without him.

BELLA! Don't you dare give up! I'm sorry Edward, I love you. My lungs burst and the last person I thought of was Edward.

Edward POV

The whole in my chest was rippling and eating away at me, I could hardly stand it. My Bella… I missed my Bella so much. Bella, Bella, Bella. Her name echoed in my head like it was killing me, like I was having a bittersweet death. My phone started to ring. I looked at it puzzled. I wanted to be left alone, couldn't anyone understand that? I had switched numbers seven times already so nobody could track me. Who would be calling? I looked at the caller ID. Rosalie. I hissed slightly but nevertheless opened the phone and said hello.

"Edward! Oh Edward…. I don't know how to tell you this…. Bella jumped off a cliff, and died. I'm so sorry." Her voice was apologetic, but I didn't notice. My world had stopped. It felt like someone had punched me in the gut a hundred times. Bella was gone. Dead, I would never be able to see her again. My whole being fell apart. It was a good thing I was in a hotel room, or I would have gotten quite a few stares. I fell to the floor, my phone clattering on the hard wood. My breathing increased speed and I just lay there. But I had to make sure. I just had to. I quickly took the phone and dialed the number I had memorized the first time it was given to me. It rang twice before a sad, husky voice answered.

"Hello?" The voice answered in a mourning tone. I swallowed.

"Could I please talk to Bella?" I whispered. The voice let out a sob.

"She's no longer with us, I'm sorry." I hung up and came apart even further, I needed a way out. I would go to the Volturri. I didn't bother to pay for my room, or to take my things. I simply walked out. I dumped my phone in a trash can and made my way to the airport.

36 Hours Later

They had declined. I had tried to argue my case, see things from my point of view, but they still remained indignant. I would have to threaten their city. I thought of the possibilities. Maybe I could go on a killing spree; that would work. Though I wouldn't want to disappoint Carlisle. Possibly I could throw a car through a wall, perhaps I could run through the streets. Slow enough so people could easily see me, though much too fast for a human. Finally, I had settled on stepping into the sun. I had my shirt off, and was right under the huge clock tower. Where everyone would see. I took one deep breath, when something interrupted my reverie. It was like a whisper, humming in my ear, I could barley make it out, yet it was right beside me. Was this what it was like to die? It became more and more profound and it was definite words…. I could just barley make them out.

"Edward! Don't you dare do this! You'd better not!" I was fairly puzzled. I turned to where the noise was coming from, there was a person forming. She had dark hair, and big brown eyes. Familiar big brown eyes. Bella's big brown eyes. My breath caught. She looked very angry with me.

"Edward! How dare you even try to kill yourself!" Bella yelled at me, her beautiful brown hair billowing in an invisible breeze. She looked beyond gorgeous, it was as if some source of light was shining on her, making her shine in ways I hadn't ever noticed before. Her eyes were blazing with an unimaginable fury, and her jaw was clenched. But what could have made her so angry? We were now together in heaven, were we not?

"Bella, love, what's wrong?" I whispered, worry dripping off my words. She sighed and took a step close to me.

"Edward, I don't know what the world would have been like if you had of killed yourself. You are not in heaven." I was confused now, if she was here, then how could this not be heaven? She sighed again. "I came from up above Edward. I'm an angel, and you're a vampire, and we're both on earth." My eyes widened as I took her in. She was right.
