As I watched the setting sun through the window, I knew I was home. No more waiting… no more complications. I was coming back to Edward, I was coming.

The plane ride wasn't fast enough. I was so desperate to see the Cullens again every second felt like it was going extra slowly. In my mind I hoped for at least Alice to know I was coming home. To let Edward know I was fine…

In my head I imagined them. Their faces were happy for me to be back. A tear leaked out the corned of my eye.

I practically tore off the plane when it landed, taking the nearest cab I could get. As soon as we got to the entrance of the forest in which the Cullens lived, I ran. I ran as fast as I ever had and nothing was going to stop me.

And then I reached the house.

It seemed off… almost eerie in the dark forest. It wasn't as nice as the other place we had once lived by the beach.

My footsteps didn't slow as I got to the door and I almost tripped over throwing myself at it. The door opened to reveal a very bewildered looking Alice.

"Rose?" she asked wearily.

"ALICE!" I screamed throwing myself at her.

"Oh my god, Rose!" she cried, hugging me.

"So long…" tears started running down my face. "It's been so long… and I had to find you…"

"I've missed you so much." said Alice.

"And I haven't showered… I feel so icky."

She laughed, almost sounding like she was crying.

I looked up, though not pulling out of the hug, to see five vampires standing behind Alice looking shocked.

"You look like you just saw a vampire!" I laughed hysterically.

"But you were… we thought…" Emmett started confused.

"What the hell happened?" asked Rosalie exasperated.

"Where's Edward?" I pulled out of the hug looking around frantically. "The Volturi didn't kill him, where is he?"

As if to answer my question two more vampire walked out into the hall way. One was Edward… the other was… Bella.

"What is she doing here?" my jaw dropped. "You hate her!"

Bella, who had been holding hands with Edward, let go and folded her arms with an awkward expression on her face.

Edward stared at me and we said nothing. His expression was a mixture of shock with sadness clear in his eyes.

"Edward, what the hell?" I asked, though it was down to a whisper now. I already knew.

"You were gone for so long…" he started. "We all thought you were dead."

My heart ripped in two and sunk to the lowest level. I stared at him shaking my head slowly. "No. No, I didn't die. I didn't." My eyes filled with tears. "I'm not dead Edward."

There was silence.

"I'm not dead." I whispered.

I turned around, heading back for the door. No one stopped me as I left the house and down the steps. It started to rain as I walked slowly along the path.

I should have known this would happen. I should have known Edward would be with Bella. That's how it was written – that's how it worked. Bella and Edward.

"Rose?" asked Carlisle behind me. I didn't answer. "Please, come back inside."

I laughed humourlessly. "I don't even remember." I said. "Why did I bother in the first place? I spent so long trying to find you. Only to find I wasn't welcome anymore."

"Of course you are." He replied. "We're still here for you."

"No you're not." I muttered. "You left me. You all did. I woke up alone, outside the house on the beach. I screamed for all of you… And then I found my own grave. It's disgusting.

'When I fainted at the wedding, I woke up in my own universe. I spent months getting back. My brother Jason…" My voice cracked. "He's probably in jail by now… He risked everything for me.

'And then I woke up so scared… I felt so betrayed. I had to go to the Volturi. I didn't know how else to find you… You weren't at the house.'

'The ending of the story, I can tell you now. Edward marries Bella and they get their happily ever after. You never get that in real life. I should know."

I began to sob. My hair was soaking from the rain and I started shivering from the cold water.

"There was nothing more we could do but move on, Rose. We tried everything."

I turned around to face him. "Books never go so horribly wrong you can't un-do what has happened. Twilight wouldn't be this dark…"

"Even a vampire bite wouldn't wake you." continued Carlisle.

I slowly lifted my hand to my neck. I hadn't really noticed it since I got back. It felt odd.

"Edward never let you go for years. He wouldn't believe you were gone. But time went on and he had to let you go, for the sake of himself."

"Does this mean there's not going to be a wedding?" I asked as fresh tears came down my cheeks.

"Rose…" he sighed, putting his arm round me. I began to sob as he led me back into the house.

I thought the end had been when I woke up in the real world. But I had been wrong. The end had happened when I returned.

Aww :( Poor Rose!
