I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT OR THE CHARACTERS.
this is might have been what had happened if Edward never had come back.
Edward never came back after that day in the forest. Bella graduated High School using Jacob as her crutch, but never mending from the love and loss. But it was time to move on to college, to finally get away from Forks. And that's what she did, but she never forgot, she never could. She left to escape the memories of Edward and all of the Cullens, but they just haunted her anyway. And its years after that now, after graduation from some small college in Washington, after marriage to Byron, and after the birth of her lovely daughter Colette.
But this isn't Bella's story of love and loss. It's Colette's.
Bella stood there crying into Byron's shoulder. Colette rolled her eyes as she watched her mother cry. Only her mother, of course, was spazing out and crying out in misery ever few seconds.
"I'll miss you so much Colette." Bella wailed as she moved to embrace her daughter.
Colette awkwardly hugged her mother back. "Um, thanks mom, but college is only like and hour from home. I'll visit at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I promise."
Bella managed to stop the tears for a bit. "I just hate losing people. Its so lonley." Images of Edward flashed through her head, but she instantly shoved hem out. That was over 20 years ago. She hadn't gone near Forks much since she left to go to college, only for Jacob's wedding and the occasional Christmas.
Colette sighed, "Mom, first of all you're not losing me I'll just be an hour away. And secondly," she said lowering her voice, "Your embarrassing me, again."
Bella pulled back, "Sorry hunny. Okay good-bye. Do you want me to stay around until your roommates come?"
Colette shook her head. Ya right of course not, people were starting to gather in the hallway to see whose freshman mother was freaking out. Many were laughing as they saw Bella with smudged mascara rolling down her face. "No mom, I think you have done so much you deserve to go home with dad and relax, away form me."
Bella hugged her daughter one more time and took at least three more pictures. Byron waved good-bye to his daughter while wrapping his arm around Bella guiding her out of the room.
Colette mouth thanks to her dad before waving good-bye to them both.
She sat down on the bottom bunk of her bed. She had opted to share a room with two other girls. She flipped through all of her info, but there names weren't provided.
She sighed, and forced herself to finish setting up the rest of her stuff and unpack. She managed to set up her mirror straight after the second try. She looked at her reflection.
So many people said she looked like her father, but had her mother's mouth and eyes. She fixed her hair neatly to one side before looking around.
"College." She said to herself, "I can't believe I'm here."
"Nor can I."
Mumbled a voice from behind her. Colette turned around. And there stood one of the most beautiful girls she had ever seen, no correction the most beautiful girl she had ever seen. She had long flowing blond hair and beautiful skin.
"Rose, cheer up." Said the second girl as she entered carrying four times the amount of luggage Colette even owned.
The second girl looked up, her hair was black, it was long and it wrapped around her upper back, as the tips rested on the edge of her hips. She was just as beautiful, Colette didn't compare to the girl with pale white skin and beautiful topaz eyes.
Colette was taken aback by there beauty for a second, but then managed to mumble out something that might have sounded like her name.
The girl with black hair dropped her bags and smiled, "Hi Colette, I'm Alice, and this is my sister Rosalie."
Colette smiled, "Hi it's nice to meet you." She said shyly.
Colette turned around to finish unpacking her stuff as her two new roommates set up the things they had brought. Alice it had turned out brought a microwave and refrigerator and Rosalie had brought the TV. Colette felt bad the only thing she had brought was a mirror.
But when Colette turned around her mouth dropped open and she forgot her worries as she noticed an amazingly handsome boy leaning in her doorway.
Alice followed her eyes and smiled, "Oh Colette this is my brother."
He stepped forward his stride strong and graceful. He starred puzzling into her face. "Hi," he said uncertainly, "I'm Edward, Edward Cullen." Then he just smiled, his beautiful smile illuminating his face.
