I unwillingly told Renesmee that I had to go. We got up off the couch, and she followed me to the door. She looked as if something were wrong.

"You okay?" I asked.

She looked down to the floor and then back up to look into my eyes. "Jake," she whispered on the verge of tears. "I'm sorry. . . I thought I was ready, but I wasn't. I'm so, so sorry. . ."

"Nessie, Ness, come here!" I said pulling her into my arms. "How many times do I have to tell you before you get it? I'm ready when you're ready."

She nodded her head, but I could tell she was still upset with herself. I mean I was a little sad that we didn't actually get that far, but I could wait. I would wait. Forever if I had to.

"Get some sleep, Love." I kissed her forehead and got into my car.

I watched Jacob drive off into the darkness, not returning back inside until I could no longer see his back lights in the distance.

I climbed into bed telling myself that everything would be okay. That I had an endless eternity to spend with Jake.

That he loved me, and would always be there for me when I needed him.

I slowly drifted off to sleep.

Headlights- very bright headlights- were coming right at me. My drooping eyes shot wide open as I tried to swerve out of the way, but it was too late. The Rabbit flipped over, rolling down the cliff.

My head knocked against the window, and I felt blood run down the left side of my face. Glass was shattering everywhere. I smelled smoke, and found that the engine was on fire. I struggled with the release of the seatbelt, but it was jammed. I tore at it and tore at it, but I wasn't fast enough. The fire had engulfed me, and found its way to the gas tank.

The car exploded.

I couldn't breathe. When I did, it felt as if I was inhaling smoke. And it was hot- too, too hot. Not at all like mine or Jacob's temperatures, but hotter.

I lashed out, struggling with some invisible restraint.

"Jacob. . ." I whispered still asleep. "Jacob. . . . ." As I spoke my voice grew louder.

"JAAAAKE!" I screamed. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" I jerked upright and awake with tears streaming down my face in a gush. Mom rushed into the room, pulling me against her.

"M-M-M-Mommy!" I cried.

"Shh, Baby, tell me what's wrong. You're okay, it's okay!"

I sobbed into her shoulder. "J-a-cob!" I cried. "H-h-he's d-dead. I-I-It hurts, Mommy, it hurts! I can't- I can't b-breathe!"

I continued to sob into her already soaked shoulder as she tried to calm me down, saying, "No, Nessie! No, Baby, he's not dead! It was a dream, only just a dream." But I knew it wasn't. I knew he was truly dead because my heart was empty. It felt as if half of me was gone. And it was- half of my existence was somewhere far away.

Over her shoulder, I saw Daddy walk into the room , his cell phone stuck to his ear and an expression of shock clearly plastered onto his face. His voice was flat as he whispered, "No, Bella. It wasn't. He's gone."

Mom twirled around to face him, still cradling me to her chest. "Edward- he- no! He- he can't be!" Her voice was thick with so much raw emotion that it was almost tangible.

Dad ran forward taking us both into a big hug. "Shh, Loves!" he whispered. "It's okay, we can get through this!"

I pulled violently back from him, and my tears stopped abruptly at the shock of his words. It would not be okay- I wouldn't get through this! Jacob, my Jake, my life, my world had just died, and my father had the nerve to sit here and tell me everything was alright?

"No, Daddy, you're wrong!" I screamed, the tears returning. "I'd rather kill myself than accept that it's okay for Jacob to be gone, to leave me here all alone!" I threw myself off the bed and ran out of the cottage while contemplating the fastest way to be with my Jacob once again. All of the ended with me taking my life, and Jacob taking me to Heaven- or Hell- with him. We'd be together either way. And, besides, with Jacob by my side, Hell would be Heaven.
