EsmePOV:
No! This can't be happening! I turn to look at my beautiful husband, I feel tears that will never fall gather in my eyes.
"There has to be another way." I tell him. "It was just one mistake, it won't happen again, we can't lose Bella, Carlisle! I can't lose my baby. Not again. Please." I beg.
"I'm sorry, Esme, I wish there was something, anything else we could do, but it's not fair for Bella or for any of us. Maybe it was just not meant to be." He closes his eyes and runs his hands through his hair and signs his name on a form.
"No! Carlisle! Please,"I sob. "I promised her mother, Carlisle! I promised that I would look after her baby." He bites his lip for a second and I feel my hopes rush.
"I'm sorry, Esme." He whispers.
"Alice! Please tell him, please! There's another way isn't there, Alice?" She shakes her head and then hides in Jasper's chest, sobbing. "Jasper? Rose? Emmett?" Why are they shaking there heads? Why? "No! Please, please don't let her go!" I can hear my hysterical screams and try to calm down. "Please?"
"I'll go wake Bella up." Emmett says.
AlicePOV:
Why is this happening now? It wasn't meant to happen for a few years. I don't want to lose my sister, not after a few months of knowing her. I cling to Jasper desperately.
"Does it have to happen like this, Alice?" He asks, his voice breaking. I nod again. Why didn't I stop this? I should have changed things when I had that vision, why didn't I tell Edward? Maybe he would have known what would be the result of attacking Bella and maybe he wouldn't have done it. Maybe we would all be happy. It's all my fault. My sobs turn hysterical and Jasper hugs me tighter.
"It's all my fault, Jazz." I whisper. "I'm such a bad person, why did I let this happen?"
"Alice-" He starts to say something but is interrupted by Rosalie.
"Shut up, Alice! This is not your fault, it Edward's fault and he's not even here to pick up the pieces. He's destroyed this family."
"No." I sob. "I had a vision of something like this happening, but I didn't tell anyone because it was blurry, I wasn't sure it would happen, I hoped it wouldn't, but it did! And it wouldn't have happened if I had told someone!" I tear myself from Jasper's arms and run. I'm not running away, not like Edward. I just need to be on my own, I need to think.
I climb the highest tree in the forest and stare out at the horizon. Nobody deserves to have a home-wrecker like me in their family, maybe I should leave... No that's stupid, I'm stupid. What would that do to Jasper? Maybe we should run away together, but that would hurt Esme and Carlisle. All I ever seem to do is hurt people, I need to do something to help. I need to get Bella back. Maybe not right away, I need time to think, but I have to get her back. While I'm having my epiphany I watch the sun rise slowly, the sky changing from purple to grey to blue. I smile and realize everything will be okay.
