It's fast-paced. I apologize, but I felt I had to write this.
"But I took a vow to never forget you.
If you're still here, then we're waiting."

I had to reassure Edward that I would be fine.
"But you'll be with a werewolf! That dog!" I glared at him. He knew Jacob was my friend.
I had only intended on giving him a quick kiss on the lips, but he instantly reacted as if I were leaving him forever.
"I'll be fine, Edward. Trust me. You won't follow me, will you?"
"… No, I won't."
"Promise?"
"I promise."
"I love you, Edward."
"I love you, too, my Bella."
E
"Edward, you will not ruin her night. You promised." I scoffed. As if a promise could stop a vampire.
"You said you trust her. Do you really?"
"Of course I do. It's that mutt whom I don't trust."
"But will she be able to trust you?"
"Fine, Alice." I huffed. "I won't go. Emmett!"
"Edward, no."
B
"Uh, Jacob? How fast are we going?"
"I think around 120." I could feel my heart beginning to pound. "I know the bat likes going fast, so I thought I'd give it a whirl."
"Jacob! You can't!" He was no vampire; his reflexes weren't the same. Oh, I wish Edward was here.
He turned to me. "You'll be fine, Bella."
"Jacob! Watch out!"
E
I placed flowers by her tombstone. "I had to make sure that they gave you a proper spot and service. I know you're smiling down on us and laughing.
My flight to Italy is tonight. I'll be with you shortly, love."
