This is the sequel to The Second Encounter. Enjoy! I didn't have many ideas. I know what is going to happen, but I couldn't just drop it in the beginning. If you have an idea, feel free to let me know ideas.

DISCLAIMER: Again, I don't own anything relating to Twilight or the Saga.

Life Ain't Always Beautiful;;
Chapter One - One Year

"Bella? Come inside, Love. I'm worried about you." Edward's voice sounded from behind me.

I stood up from the ground. I had been watching the sunset, thinking about everything. A lot had changed in the past year.

My best friend had died, on my account. It killed me inside, even if I was already dead. Edward and I moved away from the rest of the family. He bought an island east of California. It was our private little island. We'd take weekly trips to shore for hunting trips. It was mostly sunny where we lived. Edward bought it to cheer me up, but it only worked a little bit.

I walked into the house, which Esme fixed up for us. She put her homey touches on it. It looked a lot like the house in Forks. It was sad to see the sight. It made me think of Jacob.

Edward was in the living room laying on the couch watching the news. He knew that I was in the house. He didn't move. He just laid there. He probably wasn't even paying attention to the news. I put a fake smile on my face. I moved gracefully over to the couch and picked up his feet.

Instead of him putting his feet back on my lap, he sat up.

"Bella, I really don't think that you should beat yourself up anymore. Its not your fault. You couldn't control yourself. Two humans in twenty years, you're amazing. You have wonderful self-control." Edward looked at me trying to dazzle me.

"You're just saying that to make me stop moping around all the time. Its not going to work. My best friend is dead because of me. If I hadn't wanted this so bad..."

"I would have been right by your side." Edward started to rub small circles on my back.

His touch always made me feel better. I smiled a dazzling smile. I dazzled him constantly. He told me that I had always dazzled him.

I sighed happily. It was the first time in awhile that I had felt anywhere near happy.

"Hey, lets go for a swim." I said as I stood up from the couch.

I liked being outside. It made it easier to breathe the air that I didn't need.
