Prologue

"What happens when you're still in love but time rips you apart?
Is there ever an answer for when love is not enough?"

Bella:

"Edward you scaring me slow down!" I screamed clutching hold of the dashboard with all I had although it wouldn't stop me sliding as we swerved dangerously through the traffic. All I could hear was the engine of the car being pushed to its limit and the beeps surrounding us trying to pull Edward out of whatever the hell it was he was doing, but unfortunately I already knew that a beeping horn wouldn't get his attention right now. I turned to look at him to see that my screaming had done nothing to dent his hardened composure, at this point nothing I did would. I was finding it hard to decide what I would rather focus my attention on. On the one hand I could look at all the near misses we were making because of Edward's driving or I could look at Edward as he pushed the car 180mph through heavy traffic making the near misses and just not caring. No emotion cared displayed itself on his face instead and it's one of the rare moments I'm actually scared to look at him. Usually it's hard to tear yourself away from his eyes or his lips but on the days he loses himself, even for the smallest moment, I'm always scared of the thought that my Edward won't come back and I'll be left with the Edward I'm forced to look at now. Cold and uncaring.

While switching furiously between the both of them I just caught a glimpse of the truck changing lanes, the back obviously moving slower than the front, swerved in front of us. I wanted to make a noise but it all happened too fast for me to even open my mouth but slow enough for me to see it all. I looked to Edward who was pulling the steering wheel in the opposite direction but even he knew it was too late, finally at least the composure was gone. If you asked me now I could have sworn I heard his name but then all I heard was the scrap of metal hitting the car bonnet. The windows were the first to break, not that it mattered. I moved my arm in from of my face and tried to duck down but nothing could stop the inevitable now. The back corner of the truck swung itself at my passenger window and then it just went dark.

Edward:

The accident was all a blur to me, nothing was clear. But this was. Bella was lying unconscious on the hospital bed; the back of the truck had hit on her side so I came out with nothing but a small head injury which needed eight stitches while she had a collapsed lung, three broken ribs and a dislocated knee with a dozen more minor injuries covering her entire body from all the glass. I sighed and put my head in my shaking hands and just sat there listening to the machines waiting for her to wake up. Please let her wake up, I won't hurt her again I promise...I just really need her to wake up.

Bella:

When I woke up everything suddenly hurt all at once but then almost instantly I was overcome by numbness. My throat was sore from not being used which was odd to be my first complaint considering I could only imagine my current state. I could just about make a figure sitting to my left but fearing to move my head I just pathetically squeaked "water". The small figure quickly rose to its feet and fetched the water only placing it to my mouth in small dribbles when all I wanted to do was to swim in it. I focused my eyes and saw Alice standing in front of me with pity drawn across her small fragile face. It was unusual to see her in a state of no makeup and no smile, it made me oddly uneasy. I thanked her for the water which she put back on the side and then clasped my hand. We didn't speak but we did stay like that for a while. The only thought that crossed my mind was where was Edward?

Alice:

I was enraged by his behavior so the first thing on my list of things to do was to hunt him down. I burst through his bedroom door and before he could even get over the shock of my entrance I had already started screaming.

"What the fuck Edward?"

"Alice leave it" he pleaded with me, his eyes were puffy which meant he had either been crying or not sleeping and I was secretly hoping it was both.

"You got her in a car crash then bolted from the hospital? Seriously what's wrong with you?"

His shoulders dropped and a sadness enveloped his frame but I wasn't done it was too late I wanted blood, hell at this point I wanted war.

"Don't think this whole pathetic demeanor is going to get you anywhere. You pull these kinds of stunts and now you can't even come through with your mistake. Edward she's hurt and devastated because of you and for some fucking reason all she wants is to see you and you can't even stick around!"

His eyes lit up, finally a reaction

"I'm not seeing her"

His voice was slow and controlled and devastatingly calm. I was so shocked of this confession that I was silenced and that a hard thing for you to do to someone like me in a situation like now.

"You're not going to see her?" I pathetically squeaked at him not being able to shield pure intense hurt.

He shook his head and it took all I had in me to walk out of the door. If left in there with him he would have been in the bed next to her. Not that it was past what he deserved.
