To late
I walked thru the meadow that once belonged to Edward and me…but now just me. I saw that the rose bush we planted together to celebrate our eternal life together...now dead and gone, like Edward.
"Mommy, mommy, and look what Jake taught me, lookie, lookie, lookie". Renesmee screamed as she pawed thru the grass like a wolf with stealth sneaking up on me, which was no doubt what Jacob taught her. "Good job sweetie" I murmured still in a daze. I vaguely herd Jacob speak saying "Renesmee why don't you go sneak up on uncle jasper" "okie dokie Jakie" she yelled with happiness"
I didn't how she could be happy, has she already forgotten that the Volturi slaughtered her father not even three weeks ago? Did my daughter have such a bad memory?… or is she simply in denial?
"Bella, this has to stop, you haft to move on, forget him" anger lashed thru me I spoke thru clenched teeth "did you just say to forget Edward? Forget my husband?" 'Bella…he's not your husband, not anymore, he's gone…he has been for three whole weeks. I tackled Jacob with my whole body vibrating with weakness form lack of blood. I grabbed at him with as much strength as I could pull to the surface.
He easily dodged and pinned my arms behind me without even using his werewolf strength. I struggled weekly in his arms, sobbing loudly. I twisted and squirmed until he released my. I crumpled to the ground writhing in the dirt. He left with a word as I cried myself to sleep on the ground.
When I awoke it was raining and I was filthy, my skin coated with leafs and mud, my hair was knotted, filthy and an unfixable mess. I lifted my head and willed my muscles to stand, the (the best I could was sit up).
I herd humming from behind me and I slowly turned my head towards the sound to see my daughter tending to the rose bush. I spoke barely above a whisper "honey, its dead, just leave it" my voice was so low but just speaking made my throat burn. Her reply shocked me " its not dead look mommy" she said pointing to the last leaf on the bush.
I came to my feat, kissed my daughter on the head and left. I made my way to the house focusing on putting one foot in front of another until I got to the door. I turned the knob to the great glass house not knowing what lay behind it. I pushed the door to the side to be met by none other than Roselle (shocker huh. btf) " Bella are you okay" she spoke hastily making sure I herd her just in case I ran. "Im fine rose…im better now I think I need blood but im to week to hunt, does Carlisle still have blood in the frige." "yha come on lets get you some" "thank-you"
