Midnight
Prologue
I drove my rusty old Chevy pick-up truck to the top of the cliffs in La Push thinking that I might as well attempt to summon him back from the confines of my mind, while Jacob was off assisting Sam. As I slammed the drivers side door shut, I glanced at my feet where a million tiny flecks of rust slowly drifted toward the wet ground. Slowly, I took in my surroundings, while I walked toward the edge of the cliff with grace that I had never before experienced. To my right was a scenic view of First Beach; you could see the driftwood trees scattered all around, and the areas where past visitors and current residents of La Push held bonfires. To the left of me there were trees, surrounding my truck, myself, and the cliff. Directly in front of me you could see the ocean, miles and miles of deep dark and mysterious water. The wind blew my hair around my face, as I inhaled deeply, desiring for the salty scent of the ocean to engulf my senses. Carefully, I turned my attention to the water below my feet. The ocean looked menacing, dark, and evil. Nevertheless, I still intended to cliff dive.
I bent my knees in preparation for the dive, when I heard him. "Bella, please, don't," He pleaded with me.
Sorry, I have to. This is the only way I can hear you.
"Bella, you promised."
I know, I'm sorry. I decided that I would say his name one last time, "Edward, I love you."
"I love you too, Bella," he said it with so much conviction it took me all I had not to break down and believe him. The thought of him loving me was so ridiculous a notion that I laughed a short bitter laugh. I took one deep breath, then lunged for the black water. As, I fell I heard an ear piercing scream. It took me a moment to realize that the scream belonged to me.
I opened my eyes once completely submerged under water only to come face to face with none other than Edward himself. I smiled at him thrilled to find out that my mind had saved the beautiful image of Edward for this moment. He frowned at me, with an expression similar to that of what I assume a father scolding his child would wear for discovering that child ate a sweet before dinner; angry but still loving. He cupped my face, and just like that he disappeared with the waves. I poked my head above the water for some air, but a large swell came my way and knocked me back down causing me to swallow a large amount of water in the process. Everything began to turn black, as I slowly lost consciousness, due to my lack of air.
I love you, Edward
"I love you, too, Isabella Marie Swan," clearly rang out in my mind,as the last thought I ever had, while still alive.
Once again, please review.
