Author's Notes: A bit angsty… you have been warned.
I swear it feels like winter, despite the external warmth of the Italian spring just beyond my reach.
So why am I feeling as if my whole world has shifted seasons? I try to block out the conversation I was having a few minutes earlier, before this sick sensation of unnatural cold claims me as its own.
"Bella's dead…"
'This can't be,' this phrase runs through my mind for the umpteenth time. I draw my knees tighter to my chest. It's not helping.
I'm trapped in a world of eternal ice. I'm about to end it once and for all.

Author's Notes: Inspired by Fahrenheit's (a Taiwan group) song. Beautiful melody and lyrics.
Seasons change. And apparently, so do promises.
The one promise I made to her – I remember very clearly, word for word, how I will always be her friend – is the one I have to break. I hate to be the one to do this.
From afar, I can see her – with that bloodsucker, I would also like to add – and she is happy, drenching in warmth despite Cullen's unnatural, deadly cold.
From where I'm standing though, I shiver subconsciously.
Her world is ready to embrace the sunshine of her life, while I stand watching as snow drift in summer heat.
