The red pickup raced through the streets of Forks, Washington as fast as it could possibly go. Bella knew she was straining the old truck but she didn't care. Sheets of rain battered the windshield making visibility almost zero. The bitter cold tendrils of the frigid night wafted in through the open windows of the pickup and Bella shivered but did nothing to stop the air from battering her soaked body. Angry at herself for the situation she was in she gripped the steering wheel even harder, her fists clenching it so hard her knuckles were white with strain.
It had been weeks! Weeks since she had heard anything, from any of them. What hurt the most was that she hadn't even provided any explanation or a goodbye. She just left without a word. She expected to be left, hell she was used to it as she had always been her whole life. Her dad, her mom, her friends…everyone left eventually…but not Alice. Alice had promised to always be there for her, no matter what. Bella had trusted her despite her reservations, and now she was paying for it. For caring about her. For loving her.
Berating herself internally for believing the vampire she noticed the turn in the road much too late.
She rounded the corner much to fast and her tires skidded on a hidden patch of ice on the road sending the truck careening out of control. Bella screamed frantically trying to gain some sort of traction to stop the impending accident, but to no avail. The large truck lumbered off the road through the guardrail like it was butter and over the edge. Bella screamed as she free fell into the dark night covering her head with her arms in a feeble attempt to protect herself. With a loud crack she crashed into a dense patch of trees at the bottom of the small ravine.
Bella's head smashed forwards into the steering wheel and she screamed as her leg was crushed by steel deathtrap her once beloved truck had become. Gasping in pain, she managed to yank her leg out of the metal but screamed hearing a loud crack as her bone broke like splintered wood. She screamed again, louder this time and sobbed managing to take off her seat belt and drag herself out of the truck and falling painfully onto the ground.
Bella was lying on her back in the wet snow and she groaned trying to breathe through the pain. Her leg stuck out at an unnatural angle and wide eyed realized she could see part of her bone protruding from her shin. Gasping in pain, she tried to move it a bit only to fill the silent night with her pain filled scream. Pulling in shallow breaths of cold air into her lungs, Bella gritted her teeth and again tried to sit up. A low moan of pain escaped as the agony washed over her.
She shakily put a hand to her head gasping at the sharp contrast of warm liquid against her frozen hands. Her head throbbed in time with her frantic heartbeats. Bella struggled to sit up only to be forced back into a laying position by the overwhelming pain in her body. She didn't know how long she had been lying here but it was definitely long enough. Her hands and face were turning blue. Her head was foggy and she couldn't seem to form many coherent thoughts. All she knew was help wasn't coming. No one was coming. No one even knew she was gone.
Bella struggled to fight the drowsy feeling that overtook her body, but she hurt so much it was practically impossible. Her heart beat faster, almost impossibly fast trying to keep blood running through her frozen body. Hypothermia would set in soon and her heart would begin to fail. Bella groaned and looked up at the stars shining through the trees, realizing it didn't matter.
Nothing mattered anymore. She had nothing, was nothing.
She was alone.
Reaching into the pocket of her jacket her fingers clasped onto a piece of folded paper with a grim smile. The folded parchment, intended for Alice, had been in her jacket for weeks. She would never get to give it to her, but maybe that was how it should be. Tucking it back in her jacket Isabella Swan closed her eyes for the last time, a pained whisper floating into the night on her last breath.
Alice…
Snow began to fall covering the body erasing all evidence of the human below. A long ways off, a faint scream was heard.
Well there you have it. Bit of angst for you all. I had intended this to fit in the broken story at one point or another but it seemed to stand alone.
