I remember when Bella finally came back to me. I was overjoyed to have a little piece of Renee with me. I bought her a car, and tried to make her as comfortable as possible. It was awkward at first, but I learned to know Bells pretty well. We were both kinda quiet at home, but it was a comfortable silence.

I remember her mind being away when I talked to her about school, when she was almost killed by that reckless driver, but most of all, I remember her meeting Edward Cullen.

I remember the nights Edward Cullen came home with my Bella; she barely looked at me-she was so happy with Edward. Bells hung onto him like he was her life support, her only strings tying her back to the world. I would have- I should have - been worried, but they seemed so happy together. So I let it go. If Bells was happy, that was enough for me.

I remember seeing Bells broken by same Edward that I let her date. I still blame myself for letting her be broken, when I could have stopped it. Her lifeless spirit, her getting thinner and thinner- I could have stopped it all.

I remember Jacob. He was a good kid. Healthy for Bells. And they had fun together. He should have won.

Then Edward came back, and Bella excepted him with open arms. No questions- nothing! The rest of the year went by in a haze. I hardly saw Bells anymore. She was always somewhere- no doubt with him.

And then, now. The night before their wedding. I'll never be ready.
