CHAPTER 1

Edward Cullen sat on the couch moping. The Cullens had moved to New York after leaving Forks, but Edward didn't care. He hadn't gone out once, and sat on the couch depressed and moping all the time. One day, as he was wondering if Bella even still remembered who he was, a crash snapped him out of his pity party. It was Alice. She stood frozen, with the fragments of a glass vase around her. It was extremely hard to make a vampire lose their concentration, so even Edward, with his misery-addled brain knew something was up. In a second, he was standing next to Alice and reading her mind.

"No!", he gasped.

In a few minutes, the whole family was gathered, and Alice explained shakily what she had seen.

"It's Bella", she said, staring at the ground. "She jumped off a cliff".

A collective gasp of horror was the only response.

"Suicide?", asked Edward, his mouth a hard line.

"Most likely", Alice nodded.

Before anyone could do anything, Edward ran out the door and disappeared.

"Where did he go?", Esme asked, concerned.

Alice concentrated for a moment, then gasped again.

"He's going to try and kill himself!", she cried.

"Can I watch?", asked Emmett eagerly.

"Shut Up, Emmett, this is serious!", Alice moaned, as she hung her head. "He just can't live without Bella, even if he was stupid enough to abandon her"

:We have to go after him!", Esme moaned, "I can't stand to see anything happen to him, oh no!"

"I'm getting flashes of him, I can't see anything clearly, he keeps changing his mind." said Alice.

She sat down and concentrated for several minutes. Nobody moved a muscle until she spoke again.

Alice smiled sarcastically.

"He knows that no one in this family will help him kill himself, so he's going to try and jump off a building.", she said.

"You tried that, right Carlisle?", asked Rosalie, surprised. "It didn't work, right?"

Carlisle shook his head hopefully.

"Oh don't worry", Alice said dryly. "If that doesn't work, then he has a whole bunch of plans figured out. After that, he'll drink poison, then try to drown himself, then try a chainsaw, and so many other things."

Emmett cracked up. "Now I REALLY have to watch!", he exclaimed in between loud chuckles. "Edward with a CHAINSAW! Hahahaha!"

Everyone ignored him, not bothering to point out that the fact that Edward was now suicidal was the main point.

"But we are lucky, though", Alice continued.

"How?", Esme moaned. She was slumped on the couch next to Carlisle, head in her hands.

"Well for one thing, I don't really thing that any of those will work, and second, he's forgotten one VERY important thing", Alice replied.

The other Cullens tried to press her to find out what it was, but Alice just shook her head, refusing to say anything more.
