AN: Bella never jumped off the cliff, and Edward never went to the Volturri.
Bella
20 years...20 years since I've heard from Edward Cullen. Even then I don't
Want to see the look on his face or hear the words the words that he said." It will be as if I never existed"
Huh. As if that could ever be. Even if I was still human-that's right if. It was 20 years ago that I came home from school only to find Charlie dead on the floor with his neck snapped. She didn't even bother with his blood. She was only looking for one thing. Me. I was actually on my way to Jake's and I decided to see if Charlie had wanted to come. It was dec.12.
It was a cold as the blood that would no longer run through his veins. Cold just as it would be the rest of my life. 3 hours later my heart was still and cold. All I could fell was the pain .The fire that burned through my veins in every part of my body. It was completely unbearable. Laurent was right when he said he would be doing me a favor. Victoria had tortured me for what felt like years slowly and painfully breaking probably every bone in my body. Then there were warm worried hands soft caresses as someone held onto me.
Jake says I had been writhing in pain for only 2 days but it felt like forever. Later I had woken up in Jake's warm bed. When I finally came down the hall, he engulfed me into a hug, but then almost immediately dropped me. His scent burned my nose and his blood was taunting to me. Calling out to me I heard his pulse quicken as he saw me scratch at my throat.
But to be completely honest I wasn't that uncomfortable sure the scent was pretty teasing but it still had a bad after taste that it left on my tongue as I tasted he air.
"Jake I can't take it anymore! You guys still cringe around me when I walk in the room. You and Quil are the only ones who don't seem affected anymore and Paul is always trying to kill me!" I sighed and threw up my hands in a frustrated failed attempt to get Jake to let me out of the house that always left me exasperated.
"I'll be back I promise its no like it's gonna be forever. And we have some time I mean you haven't aged a bit in 20 years! I promise." We had had this discussion many times before but I had never gotten this close to breaking him down. I of course was presumed dead so I wasn't allowed to go outside of the reservation. Isabella Marie swan had been murdered on December 12 along with Charlie Swan, police chief.
Now there was a perfect Bella named Isa. Get it Isa-Bella? Ya I know its lame but I couldn't think of anything else but that and all the other names just sounded weird to me with my face." Fine, but make sure you come back. I'm not happy about this Bella. I'm really not." Jake over the years had grown to sound a lot like Charlie. Jake wasn't happy about he idea, but even though he hated the stink, he definitely preferred me better when I was still within seeing distance of him.
I had already saved up the money and went packing to France. Originally I had thought about going over to Denali but I wasn't sure about running into the Cullens and I definitely didn't want to have them knowing about my change.
Edward didn't want me then he wouldn't want me now. I couldn't handle that again. I mean how many times can you mangle a heart? Even a dead one.
So I headed toward France. Since I don't sleep my new apartment was already set up. I draw now one of my many talents. No. Not those talents. I don't know if I have special talents due to being a vampire I never tried. Although I have had a lot of practice in the patience department I don't know how long I could stand it! Any way I draw now and mostly of my memories ones that I don't remember to well and want to keep forever. But mostly just of me and him our meadow the field. That day. The day that he left. The days after he left. The day I died. I might open up a gallery after graduation. Yep. Graduation again I can't believe that I'm gonna be going back to highschool. Like I didn't have enough right? But what else am I supposed to do with the endlessness?
So I'm going back to junior year the year that everything in my life changed. where all those fairytale stories came true and landed on my face with a happily never after .So grabbing my backpack off the floor and running outside to my beautifully polished motorcycle fit for me it was a Harley Black Widow that Jake would have loved and I promised he could ride when I came back. I got there in less than two minutes which was fine with me. I went to my first period and read one of my favorite books. Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Oh and by the way I'm not always this dull. Its just today is a special day. Today just so happens to be December 12.
