Endlessly

"There are moments. …Moments that in a split second your life changes forever, and before you know it... you're somewhere else."

What a Day.

EPOV

It was as if the weather was mocking us. Forks is known for its non-stop rain and cloud covers. But today, of all days, the sun was shining bright and the sky was a pearly blue.

There hasn't been a sunny day in this morbid little town for as long as I can remember. In fact, we were all complaining about the endless drowsy, rainy weather the last time we were all together and happy. Just two days before, my three goofy, quirky, and bookworm friends and me were sitting in our usual hang out enjoying each other's company. Now, Bella, Lauren, and I are standing in this dingy worn out cemetery mourning one of the most honest and best friends we had had the honor to know.

I guess there really are moments that in a split second your life changes forever, and before you know it... you're somewhere else.

I let out a soft sigh as I turn to see Bella shaking uncontrollably beside me, despite the fresh warm air. Her usual soft, heart shaped face that never failed to blush was now a sickly pale white. I watch the tears flow endlessly from her puffy, red eyes. I snake my arm around her waist and she cowers into my side. I sigh again and plant a small kiss on the top of her head. I hear a quiet growl but pay no attention to it.

The ceremony passed in a blur. All I could think about was the girl beside me. Her soft brown orbs now stained with non-stop tears, her full lips paled from lack of food and water. She leaned against my body the whole time, sobbing quietly into my tux. I don't even remember getting up to say my farewell speech for the man I once considered a brother. My brain was on autopilot and, before I knew it, the ceremony was over and we were in the car heading home.

I couldn't even appreciate the smooth ride of my silver Volvo gliding over the rare dry roads. The smell of the leather seats usually comforted me but I couldn't even focus on that when my love was in the front seat trying to hide her tears from me. I wish she would be more open with me. I watch her bury her head in her hands. I watch her chest heave in pain from her loss. I watch her legs shake uncontrollably. I watch her frantic hands try to wipe away the tears before I could see them fall. I watch her fail to do so as her traitor tears plopped against the leather. I watch her fall apart in front of my very own eyes, knowing there was nothing I could do to help her.

That's when my own eyes decided to betray me as I heard a light patter on the steering wheel from my falling tears. What a day.

I turn into my gravel driveway and spot Lauren pull in behind me in her old and shitty green Dodge Avenger. I need to teach that woman about cars. I ease the car into the garage and quickly wipe away the tears from my face before facing Lauren; she would never let me alone if she saw me crying. As I check myself in the rearview mirror to assure that my face hasn't gotten swollen from the tears, I see Lauren with a look of hatred etched on her face. Great. She decides today to pull out her selfish bitch side.

Thankfully, I hadn't been crying long enough for my face to get red so I was good to go. I climb out of the car and walk to Bella's side to help her out. Of course, she stumbles. I grab her hand and immediately wrap my arm around her to help steady her shaking legs. I hear that low growl again. Lauren grabs Bella from me and the three of us walk into my house in silence. An obvious tension building between us as we all realize that, from now on, the fourth member of our group will always be missing.

I wept madly as I stood in the arms of Edward Cullen at my own boyfriend's funeral. It had been unreal, all of us together only two short days ago, now we can never be together again. The minister began his speech, but I had drifted off elsewhere, to the night I found out Bella and Jacob, can never be.

The house looked oddly vacant as I pulled up after my shift at the small bookstore up in Port Angeles. I walked around inside, turning the lights on until I came to the kitchen where a note lay for me. It was from Jake-

Gone to Edward's to watch the game.
Be back around 11, love you!

-Jake

A smiled formed on my lips as I thought about my love and my best friend, a couple blocks away watching and cheering on a sports game that I had absolutely no interest in. I removed my sweater, and walked into my bedroom where I collected some clothes and made my way to the laundry machine. I was tossing in a pair of Jake's pants, when I noticed something bulky in his pocket. I stuck my hand in to remove the foreign object, when I was shocked by the velvet feeling to it. Pulling out the object, I found it was a ring box. As I opened it up, tears forming in my eyes, I heard a phone ringing in the kitchen.

I closed the box and stuffed it in my pocket as I ran towards the noise. I answered the phone with 'Hello?', tears still in my eyes.
"Hello. Bella?"
"Oh hi Carlisle. What's new?" I responded to Edward's father who sounded upset.
"Bella, I'm afraid that Jake has been in a car crash. You should come to the hospital… he's not going to last much longer…" he trailed off, although I wouldn't have heard if he had said more either way as I had dropped the phone and was already on my way. By the time I got there, he was gone.

This made me sob even worse, and Edward held me tighter as we did. When he went up to the front to say his speech, I didn't hear a word he said, I sat there the whole time, feeling numb. They couldn't get me to stand and make it to the podium, I was too week, and their efforts were useless.

Before I realized, the ceremony was over and Edward was walking me to his car, placing me in the front seat, and heading towards his home. I tried to control my sobs, but that was useless. I could tell Edward was pained by how much Jake's loss had hurt me. I hadn't told anyone about the ring I found in his pocket. It was too much to thinking about; us being a family, with children, buying our own home- it was all too much. I stealthily took the ring out of my pocket and rolled it around on my palm, as Edward let a few of his own tears escape.

Once we arrived, he tried to help me into his house, but Lauren had grabbed me hastily and led me to one of the guest rooms, where I lay and cry for the rest of the night. I heard faint yells and shattering in the background, and felt a pair of lips press to my forehead and whisper reassurances to me.

I'm not sure how long I was numb for, feeling nothing, no emotion, no anything, for day, weeks, months. I didn't know. I often lied in bed for hours, just staring at the ring that was going to be mine, but never thinking of what we could have been. I raised myself into a sitting position and looked towards the bedside table where a glass of water lay. I took a sip, and realized how parched I indeed was. After I finished the glass, I decided I should go downstairs and see if anybody was home, or if I had been imagining this whole thing. Esme and Edward had been sitting in the dining room talking in whisper when I stumbled in.

"Oh! Bella! You're up!" Edward called as he walked over to be and held me in an embrace, and for that one second, I felt content, as I wrapped my own arms around his torso and sighed.
