Horrible News
Edward's POV
It had been 82 years. Eighty two long, dark, heart renching years. Eighty two years ago, I left the love of my life, my sun, my moon, my stars, the one thing that made my worthless existence in this world have meaning, she was the center of my universe and I left her. Bella... Her name still tore my heart, I missed her uncontrollably every single day since I left her, but it was for her own good. She deserved a normal life, away from monsters, a life with a normal husband, and children, and a normal death. Things I couldn't give her. All I wanted to do was protect her, and leaving her was the only way, but in doing so, I had lost all meaning to live. But I stayed with my family, they needed me, and even though I wished to end my life, I didn't, because that would tear them apart and I couldn't bear it if I hurt them anymore than I already did.
Leaving Forks and Bella was the hardest thing I've ever done to my family. Even harder than me leaving and changing my diet for a while, everyone had loved Bella. Carlisle and Esme loved her like another daughter and they mourned her like one. Emmett lost a sister, someone to play pranks on and to laugh at. Jasper too felt sad, and also guilty, blaming himself for what happened. Even Rosalie was slightly sad, she realized Bella was what made everything better and made us all happier but we weren't happy anymore, not as much. Alice was depressed, she had lost her best friend, her sister, her Barbie doll. She was torn between sadness from leaving Bella, to anger at me for making us leave. But no one was as sad as I was, sad didn't even cover it. I was in a never ending black hole of despair. I was a sick masochistic lion. Nothing would ever make me go back to Bella. Except the funeral.
It was four years after we left, we were currently attending Dartmouth, and Carlisle was a medical professor. We were sitting at home, during one of our sleepless nights. Carlisle and Esme were outside bonding, as were Rosalie and Emmett, though they were doing a different type of bonding, one that made me shudder. Alice and Jasper were playing chess. I was reading a book. Suddenly Alice froze. "Alice?" questioned Jasper, looking at his wife's glazed eyes. Suddenly she cried out, "No!! Bella!!" she rushed to the tv, and cut it on flipping the channels, as the rest of the family came down, all worrying what was happening. "What happened?" I demanded, something was wrong with Bella and I wanted to know. She reached one of the million channels we had, it was the news channels for Washington, a lady appeared, sitting at a news desk, her face sad, Alice shushed me as the lady began to speak, "Tragedy has occurred here in the small town of Forks, Washington." We all tensed at this, "Today at 11:41, Chief Officer Charlie Swan of the Forks Police Department lost his life, in a mad hostage situation." We all gasped as a picture of Bella's father appeared on the screen. "Oh no," sobbed Esme. "Here is Forks own Justin Cope, with more on the terrible disaster," continued the news lady. The screen blanked for a second and came on with a man who looked slightly like Ms. Cope's son, Newton's Outfitter's behind him. "Thank you Tina," he said, "We are here live at Newton's Outfitter's where today the son of the owner went crazy." We all gasped at this, "Mike Newton, who worked at his family's store, was also a coworker with the Chief's daughter." We all watched intently as Bella's picture popped up, she looked older, and much more beautiful and, she had a small smile on her face that made her look happy. "Bella Swan reported to work this morning, like any other day, but instead of leaving for her 11:00 o'clock lunch break to meet with her father at the diner, she was instead confronted by Mike. Apparently, Mike has been infatuated with Bella since she moved here five years ago to live with her father. But during that time she was apparently seeing someone, sources tell us, someone who left not four years ago." Six pair of eyes quickly flashed towards me, then back at the TV. "Mike continuously pursed Bella, though she rejected his advances. What we gather, he snapped, and today, tried to make Bella his, by holding the whole store hostage, until she agreed to go on a date with him. One hostage managed to call the Forks Police Department, where Officer Swan, along with two other officers arrived on the scene. Witnesses tell us Mike grabbed one hostage, by the name of Angela Webber, and held the gun to her head, threatening to shoot her. Bella than agreed, to go out with him and he let her go. Bella than tried to grab the gun from Newton, but in the confusion, Chief Swan was shot." We all gasped, the girls were dry sobbing, while the rest of us were too shocked for words. "He died a matter of minutes, his last words to his daughter, were 'I love you, Cullen is a fool, you deserve better.'" Six pair of eyes found me again then quickly looked away, back to the screen. "Mike Newton has been arrested and is charged with aggravated assault and murder. We have with us now Lauren Mallory, who has graciously decided to answer us some questions." We all watched as Lauren Mallory appeared behind him. "So Lauren, what can you tell us about Ms. Swan?" Her nasally voice caused me to cringe, "Well, all I can say is it all her fault." We all growled at this, I wanted to snap her neck, "She has no friends, except for those huge freaks on La Push. Ever since her boyfriend dumped her and left her in the woods four years ago, she hasn't talked to anyone. She's been a zombie like freak, not talking to anyone. She'd go to school, work and home. It seems to me that she has some serious problems, I mean come on! Get over yourself already Bella, Cullen obviously left you because you weren't good enough, and you are obviously in denial. It's a wonder your father didn't kick you out; I bet if he did, he would still be alive. Besides, he's just a police officer, and not a good one at that, I mean come on, when has officer swan ever done anything amazing? All he does is sit in the office and go fishing, he doesn't even carry his gun that much anymore, he's always depressed because his ex-wife left him, he also has some insecurity issues also, he needs to ---," but the vile girl didn't get to finish her tirade, a hand came out of nowhere, punching Lauren Mallory straight in the face, we could hear her nose break, and her scream. She fell down, and I heard an angel's voice, filled with anger, "You nasty bitch." The camera refocused, and Bella appeared on camera, anger and disgust obvious on her face, "I don't care what you say about me or him, but don't you dare talk about my father, that way. You're just a jealous, selfish, vindictive bitch. I need to get over myself? You're too conceited for words, worse than Rosalie Cullen, at least she had feelings," we all looked at Rosalie our mouths open, instead of looking pissed, she looked sad, we turned to the TV, as Bella continued, "But you're right," the beautiful angel spoke, "I do need to get over him," we all knew 'him' was. They looked at me slightly, their thoughts filled with concern for Bella and I. "So you can stop talking about me in front of the camera," she continued, "I'll be the bigger person, and instead of kicking your pitiful ass, I'm going to walk away, and when I mean away, I mean I'm leaving Forks." She was looking down at Lauren, the camera angled on both of them, "As soon as my father is buried, I'm getting out of this town, the place where I was the happiest and the saddest, maybe I can start again, maybe I can't, but we'll see won't we? I've all ways wanted to see the world, and I know that he and my father wouldn't want me stuck here. I'm actually going to take his words to heart, I'm going to move on, he wanted me to have a normal life, though I think he didn't realize I'm not exactly normal. But if he's happy, I'm happy, and that's all I care about." She looked at the camera for a moment, and it dawned on her that they were filming her, "Is this live?" she asked, her face shocked, her voice a whisper. "Yes," answered Justin Cope. Her eyes widened and she grabbed the camera lens, pushing it away. The screen became blue, as the connection was lost.
Alice turned off the TV and everyone turned to me. Their faces were etched with grief, but I was sure I topped them all; I wanted to go kill myself right now for letting this happen. "No Edward," Jasper said, he was sitting clutching his head, "Don't do this to yourself, to us." "He's right," said Emmett. Everyone silently nodded, Esme was still dry sobbing, and Alice's face was etched with pain I couldn't describe. "What do we do?" asked Rosalie, she was surprisingly calm, though she felt guilty about what happened, though I wasn't sure why. Everyone looked at Carlisle who in turn looked at me, "Edward?" he asked, my family turned to me and I knew what we had to do, "We go back," I decided. My family smiled at this, except Alice, her eyes glazed over. suddenly she growled, "Edward Cullen, you are horrible!!" She went to jump on me, but Emmett and Jasper stopped her. "Tell them Edward, tell them the rest of your plan," she growled, while Jasper tried to send her calming waves. The all looked at me expectantly, I sighed, "We go back, for the funeral, but not let Bella see us. I want to see for myself, if she will do as she says. Just one last look at her to make sure she is okay. But we won't let ourselves be seen. Like she said she's going to move on and that is what I wanted. She even said that if I'm happy than she's happy, and what will make me happy is her happy. That's all I want." "Edward it almost killed you to leave her the first time, what makes you think you can do it a second time?" Carlisle asked. "I'll be fine. It's what Bella wants, so that is all that matters." I began to walk upstairs not being able to be in the same room as my distraught family, "She's human, and she deserves a normal life. I'm leaving tomorrow, those of you who want to go with me; I'll be leaving at twilight. If not, I'll see you in a couple days." I began walking upstairs, "If you need me till then I'll be hunting." And with that I left a vampire speed, going to prepare myself for when I was filled with my angel's mouthwatering scent. I was going back to Forks, to a funeral, to get one last glimpse of the angel that made me feel alive, the one that carried my soul, Bella.
