Stephenie Meyers owns Twilight. I have enjoyed reading what you guys think will happen. No one has openly say the correct one yet!
Alice leads me out into the hallway. She makes sure to shut the door as she speaks low and near me. "Is this your plan?"
"For the most part yes. Now just let me explain all the details to you."
"This is not closure Isabella. This is murder what you are talking about!"
Apov: I carry the scratchy blue lunch tray down the white hallway. The place looks dull, scary, but in some way clean. I peer through the glass doors to see if Abby was awake. There she was lying in bed trying to inhale as much oxygen as she could. She looks very tired. "May I come in?"
"Please do." Abby takes her time just to say the two words.
"I wanted to apologize for leaving in such a rash way. I brought you some lunch." I set down the blue tray on a roll away table that goes over the top of her bed. Her pale eyes wash over the tray. They lingered on the chocolate pudding; which was probably the best tasting thing the hospital had to offer.
"Consider yourself redeem." She lays back a bit more to relax from all the effort she had just used.
I catch myself starring at her eyes. My own do not want to leave them for I have seen them before. She resembles Bella all too well. That is how I knew without word that Abby was going to die.
"You need to forgive her you know." I looked puzzled which allowed her to continue on. "I know she left you at the worst time. She had no choice. The thing to it now is you both are here. The both of you need to forgive each other. Love is too good to throw away. I wish I could love someone."
"You could though."
Abby laughs, "I have been here in this hospital for a long time. I can barely take a step or a breath. My love is your guys love story. I swear I have stayed alive just long enough for the happy ending."
"There is no hope?"
"There is always hope. I just know that I wont get a heart because someone else needs more hope than me. I am ok with that. I know it will be soon. Which is why you guys have to finish this love story."
Bpov: I knew not to look for Alice. When she was ready to go home she would show up at the car. I look at my watch seeing an hour has passed. The wind has picked up and the cold hit my jacket hard. Maybe she had left after this morning. I got in my car making sure I could warm up.
I waited another hour as I felt the need of humans pressure me to leave. I picked up an old coffee cup tilting it to my lips to taste morning old cold coffee. It left a biter taste in my mouth. I sighed giving up. I knew Mary Alice not this modern day one. I left for home.
The place felt empty and I had grown lonely again. Did I scare her off? She drinks blood I would think using a dead body would be child's play. I open the office door to see the room was emptied. I walked up to the map to avoiding the mess on the floor. I should really invest in a maid if our urges are going to dirty things.
Something was different. Leaning closer to the map I viewed new color tact on the map. It had a short yawn string within the same state. Smiling I knew my Alice was staying after all. I brush my fingers over the state of Washington before heading to bed.
I was exhausted from worrying too much. I kicked off my shoes while walking down the hallway to the bedroom. I had already dropped my panted to my ankles before opening the door. I was peering down towards the floorboards as I stepped out of each leg.
A purr wafted from the bed, "that is one heck of a way to say hello."
I looked blankly at the gorgeous creature in my bed. I had nothing. No smartass reply or witty remark. "I have missed you greatly," Removing my shirt on the way towards the bed. "I am exhausted. I need a rain check to ravenous you later beautiful but I will never pass up holding you before drifting off to sleep."
"We can have a very human night every once in awhile." Alice smiled as she happily accepted me into her arms. "How long does she have?"
I groan having forgotten about Abby. "I am sorry about that."
Alice brushes her lips over mine kissing me to hush up. "How long?"
"It is really a surprise that she has lived this long. It can be any day or maybe even another year."
"Is that too long?"
"It might be. She is already pushing on the age. I need her to die of natural causes so the police wont want to look for Abby and Bella together. The last thing we need is for them the piece it together that it is a stolen body."
"You make it sound like you have done it before."
"I have. I had to do things to allow the souls not to be trapped."
"I know." Alice's voice drops, as she sounds genuine. "I have realized you have done everything out of love. You had to do it and you never meant harm. I know you still would do anything for me if it meant to keep us safe. I would like to think that I would do the sameā¦I love you."
I wish I could say that is how the night ended. That everything was golden and good for the next twelve hours. Don't get me wrong I loved hearing Alice say those words to me. I have enjoyed every second I have been blessed with her. For the first time we had a life matter problem.
What I mean simply by that is life got in the way not drama for once. I was woken up by my cell phone and pager both going off. I was compelled to ignore them and fall back asleep. I felt a cool hand brush the hair out of my face. The coldness helped stirred me out of my slumber. I should curse my love for that.
I look at the pager blinking a couple of times to focus my eyes. 911 Abby Careny scrolled across the screen. I rolled over to face my lover knowing she is perfectly awake. "I have to go there is an emergency at the hospital." I pulled Alice's face towards mine as I kiss her as deeply as I could while being half ass awake.
"I will be here waiting for you. I love you Isabella."
I could hear those words forever. They make my own heart want to burst. I clutch onto my necklace before throwing on clothes.
I haphazardly put on my white coat as I stroll towards to the doctor on call. "What is the emergency?"
"The nurse found her."
"Find her where?" The cogs started to work in my head. I glance at my watch as it ticks past six am.
"Her oxygen and heart monitor was turned off. We think she unplugged them."
"That is absurd." I push pass my colleague into Abby's room. She was still in bed. Her skin has grown pale almost matching Alice's. The room was quiet as if Death still lingered looking for another to take. Taking another step closer I thought she had finally looked peaceful.
I hear the ticking of the clock on the wall increase in my ears. I shake my head to wash the time away. The on call doctor looks at me as if he is waiting for any answer. "I'm sorry?"
"The file said to call you if anything had happen. We are going to take her to the morgue now so they can do a report."
"I will do all that. I owe her that much at least for not being here when she needed me the most."
"Are you sure? I understand that you have grown close to her over the year."
"I'm fine. I want to be the one who does it."
This seemed too easy, too perfect with timing, and too soon. Abby would not have let herself died without talking to me first. She didn't want to leave before finding out that Alice and I were finally ok. She didn't want to die alone.
