Prologue
APOV
I am lying on my bed flipping through fashion magazines. It has been 243 days since we left Bella. I miss her so much; I know everyone else does too, even Rosalie. Nothing has been the same. Nobody can say here name out loud, it's even painful to think it. She was the best friend that I have ever had and I hate that stupid brother of mine for making us leave her. Nobody but Carlisle talks to Edward but he never responds, he hasn't said a word. I haven't had any visions of her either, I try not to worry but I just can't help it.
Bella is lying in a hospital bed looking deathly pale. Charlie is by her bedside holding her hand and trying to stop crying. Somebody knocks on the door and asks if Charlie can talk outside for a moment. Charlie kisses Bella's hand and steps out of the room.
"What's the latest doc?"
"I'm sorry Mr. Swan. It has progressed far quicker than we ever thought it would."
"What are you trying to say?" Demands Charlie
"The treatment has stopped working; there is nothing we can do but to try to make her comfortable."
"How long?"
The doctor just grimaced and looked to the floor. Anything to avoid the angry fathers gaze.
"HOW LONG DAMNIT!!"
"A month at most. I'm sorry Charlie, I really am. There isn't anything we can do but pray for a miracle."
"I understand, Dr. Rainier."
Bella's dying. I can't believe it. We have to save her. I don't care what Edward says. I cannot let her die. I rush out of the room and quickly into the hallway. I stop in front of Carlisle' study. I knock on the door and wait for permission to enter. I hear a muffled "come in". I open the door and walk into the room and wait for Carlisle to notice me.
"What do you want Alice?"
"Who is Dr. Rainier?"
Carlisle looks at me shocked.
"How did you know that name Alice?"
"Please Carlisle; just tell me who he is. I have to know." I plead
"Well, Alice, Dr. Rainier is head of the Oncology ward at Forks hospital." Carlisle said to me, fascination clear on his face.
"Oh god. Oh god. Oh god."
"What is it Alice? What's going on?"
I ignore Carlisle's questions and run out of his office and up the stairs to Edward's room. I burst through his door and I look at him and glare.
"EDWARD, YOU IDIOT WE NEED TO GO BACK TO FORKS RIGHT NOW. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY. SHE NEEDS US."
"Why, Alice? Why does she need us? Need me?" Edward asked, not even bothering to look at me.
I look Edward in the face and calmly said.
"Because Bella is dying of cancer."
