Jasper POV

She was always struggling. Always suffering. So strong for so long. Too long. Gone forever now, with no hope of ever returning. She tried to us she was breaking, tried to tell us she couldn't handle it, that she had to let go soon. But we wouldn't, couldn't, listen. We told her to hold on when her hands were slipping, told her it was OK when it clearly wasn't. She knew, she always knew. Always wiser than us, always hurting more than us.

Emmett POV

No more pranks, no more blushes. No tripping on the last step, to be caught by me or Edward, or someone else. No more teasing her and Edward for zoning out, ignoring everyone else while they were together. No more watching a rare smile spread across her face when Rose, Alice, Jasper and I called her our sister. She was though. She is. She's just hiding out of sight for awhile, watching and waiting for us to find her.

Edward POV

Bella, my love, why'd you go? I kept thinking this, but I know why. I know, I know, I know. And I keep blaming her for something that wasn't her fault, not really.

Rose POV

I was unkind and cold for so long while she was warm and friendly and kind when she had every reason to be bitter at the world, let alone me. I warmed up a little, but not enough. Now I could never make it up to her, or to my family.

Alice POV

Should've been there, should've listened. Shoulda, coulda, didn't, and regretting it so much it's like a knife.

Carlisle and Esme POV

A child lost, never to be regained. A home turned into a house filled with grief. She wasn't really ours, wasn't even married to Edward yet. But we were all as close to her as if she had been a biological family member. And we felt her loss as though she were. And Bella Swan, gone before her time, had loved and been loved by, us so very very much. But she was too young to experience what she did, to feel the pain she did.

Jasper POV

The loss of someone not breaking so much as already broken.

Emmett POV

Someone strong but in the end, just not strong enough.

Edward POV

Someone capable of loving so strongly though she hadn't been loved enough.

Rose POV

Someone who had endured terrible cruelty, but was never bitter or cruel herself.

Alice POV

Someone who gave her all, never expected anything in return, and finally gave up.

Carlisle and Esme POV

Someone who we claimed to love, but we weren't there when she needed us most.
