A Minute
Author's Note: This is set right after Edward left Bella in New Moon. It is just a one-shot of Bella thinking about things. I know it is very short but please, please review. It always makes my day! Thanks for reading! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, but the awesome Stephenie Meyer does.
Bella's POV
I never knew that your whole world could change in a minute. Until now that is. Until it happened to me. Until my whole world spun out of control. Changed dramatically. Flipped upside down. Never the same again.
It was torn apart, like a chainsaw ripping through a flimsy piece of cloth. My life shattered like a crystal chandelier being dropped from the ceiling of a grand ballroom. Crashing down onto the floor, where my perfect life was supposed to take place, like a graceful dance was supposed to take place on the palace floor. My life was shattered into a million pieces, like a million crystal shatters.
All in one endless minute.
I couldn't think, couldn't breathe. I didn't even know what I was doing. I just ran, like a lost dog runs and runs through the busy crowded streets and traffic.
Stumbling, falling, tripping. My whole body was in pain. Not from falling, though it would have hurt if I weren't already to the point where no more pain was possible. All I could feel was a hole, a ragged, infected, sore hole. Like an atomic bomb dropped, ripping through everything, leaving nothing but destruction, pain, and death in its wake.
I had never felt anything as horrible as this. The pain was indescribable.
All that was left was an empty, confused, obsolete shell. That's all I was. All I could ever be now.
I can't even hope, though I would love to, but it would hurt too much. Like beating a dead horse until all that's left is dirt.
He would never come back, no hope, no life.
Nothing.
That is all there is left.
Nothing.
