Epilogue: Living With It
Edward's POV
It was twenty years after that day. Twenty years after she died.
Bella was now a cold lifeless body. But I still loved her.
How could you not love someone like her. Those days after I got back from Italy were hard. I had realized how much I had really hurt her and that I did everything wrong, even though I thought it was right. I thought she would just take me back after she saw me. It did not happen that way. I had tried to reason with her but she wasn't having it.
She always had been a stubborn girl. When her mind was made up then that was it.
My hopes had soared once again when I had seen her in class, but then she ran from me and took all of me with her.
I kept watching over her and kept trying to make her see that we belonged together. It was as if we were made just for each other.
Alice tried to reason with her, and then Emmett but they were all just waisted words because she never listened.
And then that night, the night she first tried to take her life, Alice had saved her.
But when she jumped from her window it was like my whole life was going with her. In a way it was because she was my whole life.
To this day that memory still haunted me.
"Edward?"
"Yes dear." I responded. My wife and I had gotten married. Our twentieth anniversary was next week.
"Where are you?" she asked.
"I'm in our room love."
"Oh hey!" she walked over to me. She was so beautiful, with her flowing brown hair and stunning golden eyes.
"How was your hunt?" I asked her.
"It was great. What do you want to do now?" she asked.
"Let's go to the meadow."
"That sounds great!"
And so we left the house and ran to the meadow. Hand in hand, just like old times.
If I did anything right in my on this earth, saving her was it.
"I love you Edward." she said, as we sat down in the soft grass of our meadow.
"I love you too Bella."
