A/N: Part 2 of the Two shot.


"Edward?" Alice called timidly. She gently knocked on my door, "Edward? Are you ready yet?"

"Yes, Alice." I said. I was lying on my couch staring at the ceiling, trying not to wrinkle my black button-down shirt. Alice walked into my room in a floaty, black dress. She shot me a look of disapproval but smoothed it over when she saw my expression.

"It's time." She said, "Esme said you should come downstairs now so we can go."

I nodded and got up. I descended the stairs with her into the sitting room. Esme, also wearing black, was stroking Rosalie's hair, just for something to keep her hands busy.

"Are you sure you can handle this, Edward?" Carlisle asked me

I nodded; I wasn't speaking much anymore. We walked outside to the garage where the cars were. I got into the Volvo, started it up, and drove with the rest of my family to the church where Bella's funeral was to be held.

OoOoOo

It was a closed casket funeral, due to the fact that Bella's body was so mangled. We had created a story… an excuse rather. We had taken Bella camping that weekend; she had gotten lost in the woods and was mauled by a bear. It was a pretty good story because if we had blamed a mass murderer, Charlie would be looking everywhere for a possible suspect, him being Police Chief and all. But mauled by a bear was perfect. Her body did look like it was mauled, more or less, by a bear and Charlie couldn't stop the forces of nature. The only people at the funeral who knew the truth were the wolf pack and we, the Cullens.

We walked into the church to see people greeting Charlie, Renee, and Phil, saying that they gave him their condolences and that they were praying for them. We walked over and greeted him. Carlisle shook Charlie's hand and Esme hugged Renee.

"We are so sorry for your loss." Carlisle said, compassionately.

"We appreciate you inviting us. She was like part of our family, too." Esme said, "I already thought of her like a daughter."

"Thank you, I'm sure it would have meant a lot to her of you to say that." Renee said; there were tears in her eyes, "She really loved Edward, you know."

"I really loved her, too." I said, "I meant to propose to her."

Charlie looked over at me. If he hadn't liked me before, he downright loathed me now. It was mostly the lack of emotion I showed about Bella's death. He expected me to be more upset about it. He didn't know half the pain I felt. I walked over to him and shook his hand.

"Charlie, I assure you, my pain is just as much as yours." I said, "It hurts me just as much as it hurts you, Renee or Phil to lose her."

He nodded, accepting my condolences. The funeral service was going to start. We took our places at the seats Renee had been nice enough to reserve for us. Once the service was over, Charlie found me and requested I ride with him and Phil in the hearse with Bella's body. He said it'd mean a lot to him and Bella if I did so I accepted. Alice and Jasper took the Volvo while I rode with Bella's casket.

OoOoOo

We reached the Forks cemetery in a short ten minutes. We walked over to Bella's grave and as Charlie said a few words, he casket was lowered into the ground. As it got deeper and deeper into the earth, I couldn't help but hurt more and more. My Bella, my love, my life, my world. She was the biggest part of me and she was gone forever. I would never smell her sweet scent, feel her warmth, or see her flush scarlet ever again. She was dead. Dead and gone.

Forever.
