I do not own Twilight or any of its characters they all belong to Stephenie Meyer.
I hope you enjoy this story. It's kind of a mystery, and is really sad. Please review please. :-)
Edward's POV
It has been a week now. This week has been the worst week in my entire life. My Bella is still missing. The police say they are doing everything they can to find her. They also told me I have to inform the family of her disappearance. That's something I don't want to do. I can't even begin to imagine telling Renee her daughter is missing and Alice is going to devastated. Alice has already been asking questions about Bella's where about. I have just told her Bella was sick and wanted to be left alone. Those two were attached at the hips and they never went a day without seeing each other. They were more sisters then I was with Alice. I suppose it is about time to tell Alice the truth. I can't hide it forever.
I called her not realizing what time it was. I have hardly been sleeping with whole week. She answered her phone on the 5th ring. She sounded like she has been asleep for a while. "Alice?"
"Edward…its 3 in the morning?" she quested between her yawns. This was going to be a hard conversation for both of us.
"I know Alice, but this couldn't wait." She noticed the urgency and concern in my voice.
"Edward what's wrong?"
I didn't know to tell her this. I don't want to hurt her like this. "Alice, I'm sorry I have being lying to you." I waited for a response, Alice hated being lied too, but I didn't get one so I went on. "Alice it's Bella." There was a gasp on her end of the phone and a small oh dear god coming from Alice it was hardly audible. "Bella has been missing for a week now the police are doing everything they can to find her." Alice broke down then. She never put much fate in law enforcement. I heard Jasper get up and ask if she was okay. She just ignored him. I was glad Jasper was there to comfort her after this conversation.
"Oh…Edward…are…you…okay?" She managed to get out between her crying sobs.
I didn't want to lie to her so I just told her the truth. "No Alice I'm not. My love, my wife, is missing without a trace. I'm scared Alice."
"I'm coming…over Edward." She was crying much harder now.
"No Alice wait till morning when I tell the others. Put Jasper on the phone please."
"Hey man what's going on?" He sounded just as concerned as Alice did. I could still hear her crying, and it broke my heart.
"Jasper Bella's missing. She has been gone for a week now. I need your help." I told him in a monotone voice. I no longer had the strength to hide my depression. I felt lifeless without my love. I could no longer sleep at nights. I tried to but the bed was too lonely. I just cried all night holding her pillow and breathing in her warm sent that lingered on it. Jasper brought me out of my thoughts with a sigh.
"Whatever you need man."
"Thanks Jasper…can you get everyone to over to my place tomorrow at noon. I have to tell them. Please Jasper try not to tip them off that something is wrong."
"I'll do what I can Edward."
He hung up the phone to comfort Alice and I was left alone. Left alone on this damn bed. The house just doesn't feel right without Bella here. She made it so warm and inviting. Now it was just dark. I remember the day when she went missing. It was a Friday. She wanted to cook me a big dinner, and had to go to the grocery store for stakes. I wanted to tell her not to worry but I knew how happy cooking made her. She loved to take care of me. She also loved to take care of others, and help them any way she could. She loved kids too. That's why she was a pediatrician. She was also pregnant. She hadn't told me yet but I got a call from Carlisle congratulating me on the baby. I figured she was planning to tell me that night at dinner. She never came home though. I called the cops right away and they checked the store but she had never showed there. They wanted to send out reports of her missing hoping someone had seen her but I told them no. Bella wouldn't just leave without an explanation, and I didn't want to upset the family more. I knew something bad had to happen to her. I knew I had to stop thinking there. I had to remain hopeful. I wasn't going to give up on her.
I turned on my CD player without realizing what CD was in it. Of course the worst song possible had to start playing Alone in this bed by Faming Hanley, a good song but not a song I should listen to. I didn't turn it off though I sat there and sang along, and let the tears come. The song explained everything I was feeling. I was praying every night to have her back, I was wishing I could hear her voice, and I would do anything to get my love back.
"Waking up without you
It doesn't feel right
To sleep with only memories
It's harder every night
Sometimes I think I can feel you breathing on my neck
Tonight I'm reaching out to the stars
I think that he owes me a favor
It doesn't matter where you are
I hold you again
I wish I can hear your voice
And so leave me alone in this bed
I wish I could touch you once more
And so leave me alone in this bed
Not tonight, not tomorrow
I've got the feeling that this will never seize
Living in these pictures
It never comes with ease
I swear that if I could make this right
You'd be back by now
Tonight I'm screaming out to the stars
He knows he owes me a favor
It doesn't matter where you are
You'll be mine again
I wish I can hear your voice
And so leave me alone in this bed
I wish I could touch you once more
And so leave me alone in this bed
Thought about the friends we had
We've been crazy not to go
Leave me incase and I'll
I wish I can hear your voice
And don't leave me alone in this bed
I wish I could touch you once more
And don't leave me alone in this bed
Don't leave me alone in this bed"
I rolled over on the bed to her pillow. I hugged it and cried into it just breathing in her smell. I will do anything to get her back. I know she is still alive. I don't know where she is but I will find her.
It was another sleepless night for me. I didn't even want to get out of the bed. It didn't feel right going on with my life when I didn't have Bella by my side. She is my love and always has been. Since I first saw her when she moved to Forks. We married young when we were both 18. We were both now 26 and we have lived a happy life up till now. I was scared for her and she had to scared wherever she was.
I let my thoughts die again before I started to think of the worst possible things. It was already 11 and the family would be arriving in an hour. I got up and showered and threw in a few pizzas. They were going to be disappointed not to have any of Bella's cooking. However seeing the pizzas would warn them something was wrong before I told them all.
The doorbell rang right at noon. It wasn't like any of them to be late so it didn't surprise me. Alice was first in the door and first in arms. He squeezed me so tight I could hardly breath, but I didn't push her away I embraced her comfort. I really needed a hug. She finally let go of me and gave me what little smile she could manage. I moved out of the way so the others could enter. They were all looking at Alice and me confused. They looked even more shocked when Jasper gave me a hug and I didn't push him off. I never let Jasper pull that shit on me, but I needed it now. Everyone was there. Jasper didn't disappoint. Carlisle, Esme, Rose, Emmett, Alice, Jasper, Renee, and Charlie. I was going to have to tell them all. I don't know if I can handle this by myself. I walked them to our rather large dinning room table. They stood frozen when they seen the pizza and not Bella's home cooking. I almost started to cry right there in front of everyone. Something I told myself I wasn't going to do. I was going to try to stay strong for everyone. Alice sat in Bella's place next to me and every furrowed their eyebrows at her. I just sighed and took my seat. We all ate our pizza in silent. No one wanted to ask where Bella was.
The quietness got to be too much for Emmett and burst out "What the fuck is going on Edward." Emmett was never one for patience and today I was glad I didn't want to bring the subject of Bella up. Rose smacked him in the head for his outburst. I sighed again knowing this was it. Alice grabbed my hand on top of the table to encourage me to just spit it out.
"Bella's missing without a trace. The police are doing everything they can to find her, but no one has seen her. No one knows what happened to her. The police have no leads." I spat out so fast that I thought no one would be able to follow me, but they did. Rene broke down and Charlie held her tight. I was glad to see them back together. Esme got up and ran to me throwing her arms around Alice and me. We all sat in the dinning room comforting each other and crying for about an hour. Emmett being the non-emotional one just sat there in shock not knowing what to do.
Renee spoke once she found her voice. "How long?" I knew she was referring to how long she has been missing. I wanted to avoid this question because I knew anger was going to come.
"A week." I said so quietly I was hoping she wouldn't hear me.
"What? A week? Edward Cullen my daughter has been missing for a week and you failed to tell me this. What the fuck Edward. You should have told me right away" I have never seen Renee this angry. It just hurt me more. I hadn't seeing her mad and upset.
"I'm sorry Renee I just didn't want to worry anyone." I paused felling the tears in my eyes. "I just didn't know how to tell you." I broke down then. I broke my rule of staying strong. Rene walked over to me and embraced me in a hug much like Esme did. We cried together for a long.
"The police would like to speak to all of you." I said after I was able to compose myself. "They want to know if Bella said anything to you guys or if you knew anything that I might not of." Alice gasped and her eyes grew wide."Alice what?"
"Oh no Edward. Bella came to me a couple weeks ago. She… she thought someone was stalking her."
It took a while for realization to hit me. Someone was stalking my Bella. That someone could have taken her away from me to. I felt anger now. The depression was no longer there. I wanted to find this ass hole and beat the crap out of him for even looking at my Bella like that. If the police couldn't find her I was going to take matters into my own hands.
Poor Edward having to break the news of his missing wife. I agree with Renee though he should have told them right away. Why would he try to hide the fact that Bella was missing from everyone? Hmm.
Sorry about the shortness of this chapter I promise the next one will be longer and from Bella's point of view. Hmm. maybe about the night she went missing. I dont know yet that might give to much away to soon.
Reviews would help Edward find Bella
