Eternally Shattered

By: Kaylee Szakacs

Prologue

She had that look on her face. I could tell. She gets very quiet when she sees something. She becomes a stone when it's something horrible. Alice wasn't even breathing. She had developed the talent of drawing. Not to mention she had a photographic memory. The pictures could stay perfectly visible in her mind for weeks, sometimes months. Today, at this precise moment, she was the stillest I had ever seen her. If I shaved her head, undressed her, and closed her eyes, I could pass her off as my first sculpture.

I felt worried. Alice only got that scared when it regarded one person. The person who had stolen my heart and the person who made Alice come up with the craziest plans. Alice finally came back from her vision and whispered three little words.

"Bella is dying."

Chapter 1

It was finally over, well for Bella I mean. I would have to start all over again, once my family moved on. Bella demanded that we signed each others yearbooks before anybody else. I was having the hardest time deciding what to say. But then it hit me, like raindrops on my angels head. I grabbed a pen and began to write;

Bella

My love, my angel.

The one who has stolen my heart for Eternity.

I'm glad you had this memory.

I love you.

Edward.

I closed her yearbook. It was the first time I had signed one of those, although I had about one hundred. Somebody's hands covered my eyes. I wonder who that could be? I thought to myself. Then I heard my angel's beautiful voice.

"Guess who?" Bella said, trying to be mysterious. I grabbed her hands and slid them down to my mouth. I pressed my lips to her hot skin. That's one of the things that I would miss, once she became one of us. The way she would blush, and so emotion, I would miss it so much. However, I did promise her.

I turned around, and pressed my cool lips to her warm ones. People were staring, but who really cared. People only stare because they want what they're staring at. I wrapped my arms around her, being very careful not to crush her, spun her around. I stopped kissing her, I had to be very careful, she was so breakable. I carried her to my silver Volvo, and placed her in the passengers' seat. Before I closed the door, her eyelids dropped. I knew it. Even when I would "dazzle her" she always fainted. I got to the drivers side in half a second. About thirty seconds later, before I pulled out, my love slowly opened her eyes.

"See what happens to you? Look what I can do to you? Why do you want to be a villain like me?" I sighed and looked at my feet, trying to collect myself. After a few long seconds, I looked at Bella. She was smiling.

"Do you know how many times we've had this conversation? Like, it's getting very annoying. I want to be like you. I need to be with you. Do you remember the…." She paused while she searched for the words that had escaped her.

"Last September, when you made your family leave me." I glared at her. "I know you thought you were doing the best thing, but sometimes Vampires can be wrong. It nearly killed me. Charlie was about ready to send me packing. He wanted me to see a shrink for crying out loud! I can't live without you. Besides…" She paused and smiled at me. Gently placing her hand atop my own. "It would look very strange to see an old woman, covered in wrinkles, to be making out with somebody who looks like her grandchild." I chuckled. Bella could be very amusing, when she tried very hard.

"Well, I suppose I have to agree with you about one thing." I paused, mostly for dramatic effect.

"It would look very odd seeing me kiss my grandmother." She laughed; we both knew the little argument was over. I leaned over and kissed her forehead, being very careful not to "dazzle her" too much.

"Alright, we just graduated High School! What should we do to celebrate?" Bella seemed happy. I loved seeing the smile come to her beautiful face.

"Well, technically, I've already graduated high School." I added, being a little more smug then necessary. I looked over and Bella rolled her chocolate eyes at me.

"I do have an idea," I said.

"Enlighten me."

"It's a secret."

"Well, off you drive. Take me to your place of mystery." I leaned over and kissed Bella, ever so carefully. Started the ignition, and placed my foot on the accelerator.
