EDWARDS POV.
I couldn't believe what I had just heard. Bella, the love of my life was gone. Just like that, and there was nothing I could do to change that. I couldn't push rewind and go back to that day in Forks, Washington when I told her I had to leave her, in order to make her safe again. If I could have I would have, I would go back in time...and take back every single word I told her deep in the forest. I would hold her, and tell her how much I loved her. I would never ever leave her alone...I would be there for everything...I would keep her safe. But none of this mattered now, my Bella was gone. The Bella who I had fallen madly in love with, the Bella I had risked everything that Carlisle and Esme had worked so hard to make for, the Bella who I wanted to spend my life with, the Bella who had every single part of the heart I had...that Bella was gone. According to Alice, Bella had become very, very, very depressed after we left. She stayed in her room for a long period of time, and when she did leave her room, it was not Bella it was Bella's body. She was gone. When she finally started hanging out with Jacob Black---still even saying that name, sends this horrible feeling down my spine---she seemed to be getting better. Or at least that's what Alice had thought. But then one day, Alice said that every time Bella went to La Push things seemed to disappear. Then Alice had me totally convinced that Bella was happy again, I was so happy to hear that Bella was happy. It almost hurt me to know that she was happy again...with out me. I had to go see for myself. Then I got the phone call from Rosalie...
*FLASHBACK*
It was about 2:30 in the morning. I was sitting all alone in the Amazon, thinking about Bella. Hoping that she was doing well. Alice said she was. But you can't always believe Alice, I had to see for myself. I was planning to start my trip back to Forks, just to see for myself. If Bella was okay I would disappear forever, but if she wasn't I was back. Then unexpectedly my tiny silver phone started vibrating, it was far to early for any humans to be calling it must be Alice.
"Hello," I answered cautiously.
"Edward?" it was Rosalie. What could she want, I hadn't spoken to her in at least three months.
"What is it Rose?"
"Bella," I could hear the pain in her voice, something was wrong.
"Is she okay," I thought I was going to explode just thinking about what could possibly be going on.
"Edward, she's dead...she drown in the Ocean by La Push, she was cliff diving, and there was a storm coming in and it took her down," Rose explained.
"Bella...." was all I could manage to say.
"I am honestly sorry Edward," she said as I closed the phone.
*End OF FLASHBACK*
After I heard that, I knew what I had to do. Without Bella I had no reason to live. I had to go to Italy, I had to ask...I had to join Bella in what I hoped would be heaven.
When I finally arrived in Italy, the Voultri said that they would help me. They said that I had endured enough pain and were willing to help me out as a favor to Carlisle. They said that it would be done in the next two hours. I sat down and wrote a note, and I asked them if they could give it to Alice.
Dearest Alice,
I know this is going to be hard for you to hear. But I had to do it. Living without Bella is not living. I can't do it. I need her, she is everything to me Alice. I hope that you can understand I know that you of all people should. If it were Jasper I know that you would want to join him too. I am in a better place now Alice. I am with my Bella. The Bella you had worked so hard for me to become friends with. The Bella who you too love. I hope you can one day forgive me. I do so hope to see all of you again, you, Jasper, Emmett, Rose, Esme, and Carlisle, but I understand if I never do. It almost feels selfish of me to wish to see you again, because I know it will cause all of you great pain. I will never ever forget you sister. I love you, and I want you to know that Bella and I will forever be together where nothing can touch us. And every now and again when your feeling down, think of us, and we'll be there. We will be with you all. Please tell the whole family how sorry I am.
Love, Edward
It was time. The guards came in and mumbled something, then everything went black, and I awoke to the most beautiful face....Bella.
