CHAPTER 3 – THE BUBBLE

EDWARD'S POV – (A half hour before they go to Alaska)

I sat there mourning about my lost love. Dead. Lifeless. Cold. Something I should be. After lying to her about not loving her, I instantly regretted it, for I knew it was the biggest lie I'd ever told. All I wanted was her to have a good shot at human life, as if I never existed. I tried to make it that way by hiding all of the pictures of me and the things I gave her in the floorboard in her room. It seemed I hid my heart there too, because I never got it back to the way it was. Nearly 100 years without her. Success? Not really. I spent most of the time moping around in my room and only leaving to hunt. Poor Jasper, he couldn't even be near me. Esme, Alice, and even Rosalie seemed depressed, and Carlisle kept trying to get me out of my whim bubble.

Never again would I hear her beautiful laughter that sang to me; never again would I be able to see her stunning smile, or her striking, cheerful face whenever I'm around her. Never again would I see her lovely blush or feel the warmth of her skin or hear the beating of her heart. Never again.

"Okay that's it, Edward!" Alice shouted as she stormed into my room with Jasper standing at the doorway. "It's been too long since you've been acting like this."

"Acting like what?!" I yelled, although I knew the answer.

"You know how you've been acting, Edward! But just to clarify, you've been doing nothing excepting hunting and sobbing. Look at you! You're a fool who broke her heart. You told her you didn't love her because you wanted her to move on and stay human and refused to damn her soul for eternity. You got what you wanted. You must've known she was going to die anyway, right? We're not exactly gleeful about it, but we anticipated it. Why couldn't you?"

"Because I was an idiot, Alice! I don't know why I even told her that! It was a lie - me telling her I didn't want her. I knew we were a threat to her! Every minute, every second she spent with any one of us, her life was in jeopardy. Her life was just beginning. If I had changed her, she would have missed out on so many things. I loved her enough to lie to her just so she could be safe from me, from our kind. But you didn't see her face when I told her I didn't love her. You didn't see the way her eyes told me she would not let go, even when I'd told her to. You didn't see any of it! Why should I keep on going without her?!" I yelled back at her.

I then felt a wave of calmness come over me. I threw a swift glare at Jasper and moved my eyes back to the wall behind Alice. Alice groaned and her expression became even more pissed. "Because, Edward! Because she would've wanted it to be that way. Bella would've wanted you to keep existing and move on. She would've wanted it to be this way for all of us!"

She took a moment to scrutinize my face. It became unfathomable. After a moment she continued, "So…the family, which obviously includes you, is going to Alaska to stay with the Denali clan for a while!" she said in the best happy tone that she could.

I looked up at her with a "you've got to be kidding me" expression.

"Oh come on, Edward! You need to get out of this bubble. It's an hour by car, and its only for a week or so! Pack, please. Move on with your 'life'. Do it, for Bella." And with that, she walked out of the room with Jasper.

So I packed like she said, and loaded my stuff into my Volvo. We decided to take two cars – the Mercedes and the Volvo. Emmett, Rosalie, and I went in my car, while Alice, Jasper, Esme, and Carlisle went in the Mercedes. Then we drove off to Alaska, and I was somewhat able to get out of my bubble.
