Charlie POV
Next week I will turn 85 years. Think about it, it's been 20 years since I retired from the Forks police. But more shockingly it's been 45 years since Bella and Edward got married. Soon after that they both died in a plane accident. I haven't seen my baby in 45 years. By this point tears starts to roll down my cheeks. I still lived in the same house as always, everything was exactly the way Bella had left it in her room. I do go there from time to time, but never touch anything.
Even though I had been told by police and Carlisle and Esme, that Bella and Edward had died about 2 years after their wedding. I still wasn't convinced that Bella was dead. When I was about 50, the police department was firing police and reducing funds, I had some real financial issues. Like magic shortly after that started, I found small white envelope that wasn't delivered by the mail every month, containing depending on the month from 5000 to 10000 dollars.
I never investigated who it was left by, or whose the money was. Because I really needed it for food, electricity and clothes. I knew that Edward's, now also Bella's family didn't exactly have money issues, so I guessed that maybe it was Carlisle who left it since he and Esme left town for the last time about 40 years ago. God, time really goes fast... But even after they left the money kept coming. I'm sure that I'll never find out who left it, but I'm forever grateful.
I had had high blood pressure and issues with my heart for a long time now. A few months back, my doctor told me that I wouldn't have much time left, because I am so old surgery wasn't an option because I would die on the table. For the last weeks I've been sure that death is close. But still every evening in my prayers, I still ask God to tell me who helped me with the money.
Today, I went to the shop and spent the day doing everything I usually did. It was quite late so I decided to go to sleep. It was the middle of winter and there was supposedly a huge snow storm coming for the night. So I checked that all the windows were closed. I had been lying in my bed for maybe half an hour when I noticed that 2 people maybe 18 years old, were standing next to my bed. When I looked closer, they looked exactly like Edward and Bella before they died. But these 2 looked very alive, pale as always. But I'm certain that they were Edward and Bella. Before I had time to say anything she started speaking. She said: "Hi, it's me. I'll explain everything". I Looked at her and nodded so she continued "We didn't really die in the plane; we had to stage it because I needed to pretend to die. Dad, me, Edward and the Cullens, we're… vampires." I was sure I was dreaming, but it was real. Then Edward spoke " We heard that you had some money trouble a while back, so we always left the money. Bella couldn't bear seeing you the way you were.". Then Bella said "We have to go now, so this is the final goodbye." They went downstairs. I thought about what they told me for a few minutes and decided that I got to know everything I wanted to. It was my time to go, so I closed my eyes for the last time.
