Chapter 14
[JPOV]
The silence was broken by a bloodcurdling scream. It was Edward who screamed. He had crumpled to the floor sobbing and clutching his chest. He looked worse than miserable, pathetic, and heartbroken to me. I just felt like ripping Bella's robe off and showing him Bella is alive. But I couldn't. It was only a matter of time before the battle with Victoria. Then when we take off our robes they'll see it's really us. Hopefully life will be better again. I don't care if Alice doesn't take me back. As long as Edward takes Bella I'm happy. Bella deserves the happiness. Even if it means I have to commit a murder I'll do it.
The rest of us crowded around Edward and cried too (well dry-sobbed). I cried because I couldn't hold Alice in my arms anymore. Bella cried because she couldn't bear to see Edward in pain. The others cried for the loss of a family member. The one who brought happiness.
"Bella my Bella! There's only one Bella for me and I killed her. I killed my soulmate. She was so innocent and loved me more than I deserved and I killed her. I'm horrible. Worse than a monster. I killed an angel," he said and continued moaning the same things for the next twenty minutes.
I wondered if my family would ever be the same again.

It was two days after the incident and to be honest I was growing sick of the gloom. When we came back home Edward ran to his bedroom and shut the door. He hasn't come out ever since. Carlisle thinks he's trying to starve himself to death.
It was a gloomy evening and everyone (excluding Edward) had settled in the living room. Everyone is doing different things. Carlisle is looking at some patient records and Esme is polishing the windows and everything else she can get a hand of. Rosalie is sitting with her head in her hands. Emmett had long given up trying to cheer people up and is playing chess with me. Alice is staring out the window at the rain lost in thought. Jasper is lying down on the sofa with his eyes closed. I turned back to the chess game. So far I'm owning Emmett. He is losing so badly that if he gives up now it'll still be very shameful. Emmett looks so cute when he's thinking. It looks absolutely ridiculous and cute at the same time. I could help but giggle. Everyone looked up at me curiously.
"It's Emmett. He looks so sweet and bizarre when he's thinking," I said with a chuckle. Everyone looked at Emmett and laughed too.
"Hey can't help but being so adorably hot can I," Emmett said throwing his arms up.
Emmett didn't notice my next move and gave a jump when I said "CHECKMATE!"
"Not again!" Emmett moaned and put his head in his hands. "I give up!"
I smiled but they couldn't see it. I loved playing chess. It helped distract my mind from sad thoughts.
"Who's up next?" I called to the room at large. Alice jumped up and walked over to me with a smug look on her face. I smiled again. Awesome a challenge. Little did Alice know I could use my shield to block her visions. I decided to put up the shield when she thought she was winning
And that was exactly what I did. Halfway into the game Alice was winning but only because of her visions. I put up my shield and she gasped.
"What just happened to my visions? I can't see your future anymore," Alice whined.
Five minutes later…
"CHECKMATE!" I shouted.
"What? NO!" Alice moaned and she too slumped away.
Ha! I'm unbeatable! I thought to myself.
There was a small tap on wood and we turned to see Edward walking downstairs.
He looked like a mess. His shirt was torn and his eyes pitch black. His skin had faint scratches where he had clawed at himself. His hair was messier then usual. But the worst was his face.
Looking into his face was like looking into a tomb. Filled with misery and gloom. The only difference was that Edward's face also showed pain.
"Let's play Truth or Dare!" Alice shouted
