Jake POV

I pulled up to Bella's house expecting Seth to be waiting for me. I was going to take him to his baseball practice. He was no where in sight so I went and knocked on the front door. No one answered. I pushed on it and it opened up. I could here music so I followed it. The door to the music room was open. I saw Bella playing away and Seth watching in a daze. "Jake, I wasn't expecting you here." Bella said as she stopped playing and looked over me.

"I was told Seth needed a ride to baseball practice." I answered as I stood in the doorway.

"Crap. I forgot to call you. Practice was cancelled." Seth said as he looked at me.

"Oh." I said as I looked around.

"I am glad you are here." Bella said with a smile. I could tell by looking at her that she was getting worse. "I wanted to talk to you." She said as she turned to Seth. "Why don't you go downstairs for awhile?" She asked Seth.

"Sure." He said as he got up. I watched as he walked passed me.

"Come in and close the door." She said as she got up. I did as she said as she grabbed something from her desk. I looked around at all her awards.

"How come you never wrote a song for me?" I asked her as I sat down on a sofa against the far wall.

"I have you just don't know it." She said as she came and sat down next to me. I noticed she had an envelope in her hands. "I have something for you." She said as she handed me the envelope. "It was going to be a wedding gift, but I have been sitting on it way to long." She said as I started to open it. A set of keys dropped into my hands before I could get the paper out. It was a deed to a house and the keys.

"You brought a house for me?" I asked as I looked at her.

"I remember one night we were sitting on the sofa at my apartment and you told me about how you would like to see your parents' first house. You told me how much your mother loved that house. And then when you told me that your father lost that house not long after your mother passed it killed me. So, I went to find it. I was going to ask the owners if they minded if you came and saw it, but when I got there I saw the for sale sign. I knew I had to buy it." She said softly I saw her eyes tear up. "The day after you left was when everything was finalized. I wanted you to have it, but I wasn't ready to let go. So, when I heard you and Leah were getting married I knew that was the perfect opportunity." She was crying by this point. "I'm sorry I should have given it to you earlier."

"Bella why re you crying?" I asked her. "This is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me." I said as I hugged her.

"I'm sorry." She said weakly through her tears.

"For what?" I asked her as I let go of her.

"That I keep hurting you." She answered. "You have been one of my best friends since I came here and I just keep hurting you."

"Bella you have been a great friend." I told her. "I owe you for some of the best things that have ever happened to me. Don't be hard on yourself like this." I told her as I looked into her eyes. I could see the pain in her eyes. I watched as she got up and grabbed a piece of sheet music off her piano. She handed it to me. I looked at the words right across the top "Back to December" (By Taylor Swift).

"I should have chosen you over Edward." She said with a small smile. "You were always there for me when I needed you."

"We didn't break up in December." I told her.

"No that's when I turned away from you twice. You were always there and I didn't see it. Till I had already given away my heart." She said.

"I am so glad that I got to know you Bella." I said as tears fell down my face.

"Take real good care of her Jake." She said as she wiped my tears.

"I will." I replied as I realized how hard it will be to lose Bella. "Bella, I never thought I would say this, but please let Carlisle change you." I said as more tears came.

"I can't Jake." She said as she looked at me. "That's why I am sick." She said as she wiped away more tears. "God isn't happy with me trying to avoid death."

"I can't believe that Bells. You have the biggest heart in the country. This proves it." I said as I help up her gift. "Why would he take that away from the world?" I asked.

"He doesn't see it that way." She said as she looked around.

"You're too young to leave us." I said as I looked at the ground.

"Age is just a number baby." She quoted me. I had said that so many times in the past three years that it was imprinted in our brains.

"Not when it comes to this Bella." I replied. "Don't stop fighting."

"It's time for goodbye, Jake." She said softly. I knew she meant it in two ways. "I'm getting tried." She finished.

"I'll always love you." I said as I kissed her head.

"Watch Seth. He is too much like you." She said softly as I walked out.

Seth POV

I saw Jake come down the stairs with tears coming down his face. I had never thought I would see him that way. He was one of the strongest people I know and here he is much like a child. "Want a ride home, kid?" He asked.

"Yeah." I said as I got up. I grabbed my gym bag and yelled up the stairs "See you later, sis!" Then we left. I looked up at her window as we pulled away. I saw her. I saw her losing more of her self.

Leah POV

My mother and Alice have been working on the wedding all day. It's only a month away now and everything is becoming real now. Yet, I can't be happy. I am losing someone special to me. "It's all becoming so real." I told Jake as we sat on Charlie's back porch.

"I know." His voice showed pain.

"It isn't supposed to be this way." I told him. "We should on top of the world right now."

"I know, but I can't look past losing my best friend." He said as he looked at me. "She brought my parents' old house for us. Gave me the keys today and then started talking about god cursing her." He looked away, but I could tell he was crying. Next thing I know I am balling my eyes out. This is the first time I let myself cry. It's the first time I let myself see the end.

"I just got the sister I always wanted and now I am losing her already. Why does life have to be this way?" I asked. "It's hard enough to know my dad is gone." I felt Jake's arms wrap around me and we just sat there letting it all out. How did the happy ending turn into this? Why? Why? Why?
