EPOV

122 years. It has been 122 years since I left my angel. Bella. My Bella. Every year was agony, because she was gone. No one was the same without her.

Alice didn't care about our clothes.

Rosalie could only think about Bella (and she would never do that before).

Emmet destroyed all of his video games.

Carlisle wouldn't go to the hospital anymore.

Esme cried for hours on end.

Jasper would be mad with depression if it weren't for Alice.

But Courtney stayed the same.

She still constantly flirted with me, and made crappy jokes to try and cheer us up. It never worked. She had never met Bella so she couldn't miss her.

We met Courtney in Maine 50 years after we left Bella. She saw how depressed we all looked, so she decided to put it on herself to keep us in balance. She also saw how our eyes were black as pitch, because we were so sad we couldn't even hunt. I don't know if she only wanted to join the coven for me, or to actually help us.

"EDWARD!" Courtney called from downstairs. She was in my room the next second. I didn't bother answering her, because I knew she was going to bug me about hunting. I didn't bother to read her mind either.

"Edward," she started. Then she took a deep breath and continued so fast it sounded like one word (and that's fast considering I'm a vampire), "!"

"What?' I asked, she would get I meant slower.

"I think we should go to school this year!" she said slower.

"No!" I said without even thinking. I had met Bella at school; I couldn't go back to it without her. I saw that I had hurt Courtney's feelings.

She thought back, Too bad, you're already enrolled. With that she walked out of the room.

Great! I thought, I'm going to Columbia Falls High without Bellain one month! I groaned, and went back to mourning my true love. My angel. My Bella.

HEY! Sorry it took so long for me to post but I had to do history day. For those of you who know what it is, GREAT! But those who don't, well… lets just say it's a HUGE project!
