Final Chapter
Bella POV
We were sitting in the field that was Edwards and I's field long ago as we read these to ourselves quietly. I had tears streaming down my face. My dad was truly gone. Jazz held me close and kissed me. We all had tears in our eyes. We knew he didn't want to be turned and live forever. He wanted to watch over us. I had tried and tried for him to decide to turn but he didn't want to. Peter and Char would have gladly done it. He wanted to live out what life he had. I had to respect that. I was a little angry that he didn't decide to turn for the longest time. I got past that but it still hurt. Jazz understood why I was angry. No one said anything to me about it. They all in a way understood. They knew why. Carlisle took me aside one day and we had a talk. I was balling by the end of it and realized it wasn't fair to be angry. Before I knew I would have been against it.
His funeral was a few hours ago. Mom came down to say her final goodbyes. We hugged and Phil was supportive. Mom and I had grown closer. She was still not a mother figure she was still a friend and would probably never change.
The pack showed up. They were all civil to each other. It was nice to have finally called a truce. Dad made that happen in his last days. Jake got to say goodbye on his deathbed as did Billy. The others chose to say goodbye earlier. They had nice words for him at his service. Billy reminisced when they were younger. Jake talked about all the trips they took.
It was a sad yet beautiful thing. He was cremated. Carlisle confirmed him dead. Peter and Char took him out of this world as he had asked. They had tears in their eyes as they did it. It was as hard for them to do it as I watched it happen. They had grown to love him.
Flashback
"I love you Bella." Dad said weakly. I could tell he would be gone soon.
" I love you too dad." I said in tears. I couldn't be strong anymore. I stayed strong the past 5 months and I was at my breaking point.
"Daddy, don't leave yet. Fight." I said through all my tears. It was barely audible.
"I can't anymore. I see the light. It's my time to go." Dad said sadly. I held his hand throughout it all. He motioned for Peter and Char to take him out of this world. He smiled at me the whole time as they did this. It was his good bye. He was starting to become limp. It was the worst feeling.
"I love you." He choked out.
"I love you too." I said. He went limp and his eyes closed. He was gone. My dad was gone. I broke down.
End of Flashback
I was pulled out of my flashback by Esme. She had tears welled in her eyes. "Bella. Would you like to spread his ashes?"
"Yeah," I said nodding. We had some in a small container. He wanted to be roaming free in the outdoors. We would grant him that wish. "Dad, I love you."
I opened up the can and slowly spread the ashes. It was clear and had a light wind. A gush of wind blew the ashes up high and through the trees.
"Goodbye daddy." I said in tears. Jazz pulled me as close as we could be.
"Goodbye Charlie." They all said sadly. It was a hard day. It was also a start of a new beginning. Dad was up in heaven watching over me and I would graduate soon. I would be turned soon and head to college after my newborn stage. I was excited to get on with my life to see where eternity took me. I just wish my dad was with me.
