What happened after-beyond
Edward- After recovering from getting shot Edward learned that Bella killed herself. He fell into a depression having daily sessions with Carlisle. 3 Months into Edwards sessions Carlisle suggested that Edward find Bella's son and talk to him. Stating that it might bring some ease to Edward. When he met Jared and was asked to be Jared's daddy he couldn't say no. He found that Jared was exactly what he needed in his life. He came out of his depression and has been happy raising the boy. He is in college hoping to become a counselor like his dad.
Jared- After the incident he was shuffled from foster home to foster home with weekly counseling sessions to help him overcome seeing someone shot and his mother kill herself. When Edward found him he instantly recognized him as the man who was there with him and his mother and wanted to be with him remembering that his mom wanted to be with him too. He's gotten over everything after living with Edward for sometime but still likes to visit his mother and tell her about everything going on in his life.
Alice- Devastated Alice went months with hardly sleeping, eating, or talking. With help from Carlisle, Edward, and Jasper she has recovered but she isn't her bubbly old self anymore. She's quieter, more serious, and has decided that she wants to become an officer to help put people like James and Charlie away. She has been taking self defense classes for about six months and is still going steady with Jasper.
Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rose, and Jasper never got the full story on what happened. They know what Edward and Alice have told them but what caused Bella to commit suicide still seemed to be a mystery. It took a while for them to accept the idea that Bella was gone and struggled taking care of the mess she left behind.
James was sentenced for a life in prison along with Charlie who was the mastermind behind the whole thing.
Reason
This wasn't meant to be a happy fairytale like story yes I must admit that it is messed up but I guess I'm just sick and tired of basically every story ending with a 'and they lived happily ever after.'
No matter what happens right before the end of the story things always work out and it's so common that it's become predictable so really it ruins it. When things don't work out, like you kill a main character, or something happens like the favorite couple split up and go separate ways it throws things off. It's not the happily ever after that so many people are used to getting without even realizing it.
