BPOV:

He looked up at me. His eyes uncertain at first, then to concentration as He glanced at my mouth, nose, hair etc. He ended at my eyes. If He could cry, He would be sobbing. "Bella…" He whispered. It was antagonizing. He was in pain. Yet, I could do nothing about it. I had made a promise with myself. I would lead Him to believe I was fine without Him. I was not and I knew it.

I scoffed. He looked at me in confusion. The door burst open behind me but His eyes never left mine. I put on an amused face. A mask. I ignored the audience behind me. I knew it was the rest of the Cullen teens. "Well duh," I said sarcastically, "I can't believe it took you so long to figure that out!" I added teasingly. His expression turned to shock. I couldn't keep looking in His eyes. I knew would be lost in their depths. I turned to face the others. Their eyes were wide. "I missed you guys so much! You should have at least visited me! Where did you guys really go? The doctors Carlisle worked with said that you guys moved to "Sunny L.A." I said with air quotes. "O.M.G.! I have like the bestest idea ever, we should all go like shopping and catch up you know!" I nearly shouted. Their eyes widened more. Shock probably, I thought. Alice squealed silently then soon saddened abruptly. Him, I thought to myself monotonously. "Gosh! You guys are like so quiet! Who died? Oh! Hmm… not the best word choice." I pursed my lips. "Who… re-died?" I said questionably.

"Yeah, I think we should get together sometime soon." Alice said shakily.

"Awesome possum!" I replied preppily. "We should like switch numbers so we can plan later cause I got a party to rock!" I said as I whipped out my cell. Alice and I switched numbers real quick. Can vampires go into shock? Everyone was STILL in a daze except Alice. "TTYL!" I said as I re-entered Nick's house. Whoosh. My held breath came out. Luckily they didn't follow me in.

What next? When would I break? I wondered. Because that… was pure agony.
