CHAPTER 21 - Heartbreak

EPOV

What? What the hell? What the fuck? She can't be serious. She just told me that she killed Emmett… by biting him… because she is a vampire. I don't know what the fuck she wants… no expects me to do. I don't know what to do. This is Bella!! This can't be happening. There is no way in hell this can be happening.

I just told Edward that I killed his brother and all he can do is stand there and stare at me. I expected him to rage… to run… something. Not just stand there. I was afraid he was in shock. What I had just told him is too much for any one person to take in.

"Edward. Please…"

He blinked his gorgeous green eyes and ran his hand through his hair. He started laughing.

"Edward…" I took a step closer to him and he backed away.

"Bella… I… I think… no… I need time to think. I… I need to see Emmett."

"No, you can't. It would be too much. You don't want to see him like that. You shouldn't see him like that." I begged him. "Please, just trust me."

"TRUST YOU?!? How!? How can I trust you? You stand here and tell me that you fucking killed my brother! Are… Are you completely out of your mind!?!" He yelled at me.

I gasped. I knew he was extremely upset and he had every right to be, but it still felt like a knife was carving into my chest. I couldn't take it. I fell to the ground and curled up on my side.

"Bella… I need to get out of here. I… I just can't…" he was backing away from me. "Don't… don't… follow me. Don't."

I couldn't handle it. I was sobbing uncontrollably. He was leaving me. I knew this would happen, but I didn't expect it to hurt like this. I didn't expect to feel like I was dying. I didn't expect to feel like my whole being was ceasing to exist. He told me to not follow him. He didn't want me… again. How… How can fate be so unfair? I have only had him back for a day. Why… why… oh… why? I just laid there in the middle of our meadow sobbing uncontrollably. I was still crying real tears. I didn't even care. I didn't want to care about anything.

I closed me eyes and all I could see was Edward's grief stricken eyes. The green of his eyes had changed. They went from the greenest grass of Ireland to the darkest shade of hunter green I had ever seen. I tried to picture him as I saw him at the keyboard in choir. My mind wouldn't change views. I knew I would never be able to see his eyes dance the way they did when he laughed. He would never look at me like that. I was dead inside. I knew that I was dead to him. He would never be able to love me… not after everything I had just told him. I wish I could go back and change everything. I wish Carlisle had never changed me. I should have died 40 years ago. Edward would never have felt this pain I had inflicted on him. I wanted to be everything Edward Cullen deserved. I knew that would never happen. The rain started pouring on me. I took a shuddering breath and the blackness surrounded me.

I couldn't find Bella. I had no idea where she had gone to. I looked around the woods by our house. I couldn't even smell her. It was strange. She must have run so fast that her scent didn't linger in the air. I had to find her. I just ran in circles around our house, going out further and further with each pass. I knew she would be devastated. She should never have been the one to try and change Emmett. She had never tasted human blood before. I was almost afraid that our Bella was out there somewhere trying to find more of it. I was scared for her… for the people of Forks. I got a call on my cell phone. It was Alice.

Alice: Where are you? Do you have Emmett?

Jasper: Yes. Rosalie brought him to our house. He is still there.

Alice: Something terrible happened Jasper.

Jasper: I know. He is safe. Bella changed him. If she hadn't then he would have died.

Alice: I know that. I knew you guys would take care of him. It's not him that I'm worried about. It's Bella and Edward.

Jasper: What?! What do you mean?

Alice: I saw… I saw Bella telling Edward. She thinks she killed Emmett. She told Edward that she killed him. You have to find Bella. Edward is on his way home.

Jasper: I've been looking for her, but I can't find her anywhere near our house.

Alice: Look for the meadow. That's where she is. You have to get to her… fast. I'll take care of Edward.

Jasper: Okay honey. I'll find the meadow. I remember it from a couple of days ago hunting. I'll find her. I love you.

Alice: I love you too. Be safe.

She always told me to be safe, like I could be anything other than safe. I went in search of the meadow. It was closer to the Masen's house than to our house. I found it shortly after I hung up the phone. What I saw lying in the meadow scared the hell out of me. What I felt coming from the middle of the meadow brought me to my knees. It felt like my insides were being clawed out of me. Bella… oh my god. Bella.

APOV

I was so frightened for Bella. I saw what happened in the meadow. I knew that she loved my brother. I knew he was starting to get feelings for her, if he didn't already love her. He crushed her. She was so alone. I knew Jasper would take care of her.

Edward, now that was another story. Edward would be devastated. He walked in the door shortly after I hung up the phone with Jasper. He ran straight to his room and slammed his door. I was glad that we were alone. Esme was at a client's house working on their whole house. I knew she would not be coming home until late.

I walked quietly to Edward's room. I could hear him through the door, crying loudly and throwing things around. I slowly opened his door. He was crouched in the corner with his hands pulling at his hair. His CD's, which were normally in place on the shelf on his wall, were scattered and shattered all over his floor. I walked over to him as quickly as I could without stepping on the broken shards. I got down on my knees and wrapped my arms around his shoulders, while he placed his head on my own. He was weeping so hard he could hardly catch his breath.

"Edward, you need to breathe. You have to breathe. Come on." He took a shuddering breath, then another one. "Good, good. Now, you have to get up. Come on, we need to get you on the bed. You can do it." He shakily got up on his feet, but I shouldered a lot of his weight and helped him to his bed.

"Al… Alice… you have no idea… I don't believe…" he was trying to say.

"Edward, I do know. I know so much more than you think I do. You never really believed in my visions, but I do know. Now… well… now you do too."

He looked up at me with his red-rimmed eyes. "You… you knew this whole time? How? Why… why didn't you tell me? How could you keep this to yourself? What… what about… Em?"

"I didn't see that until it was too late. Edward, you have to listen to me. You got it wrong… Bella… she got it wrong. She didn't kill Emmett. She saved him, Edward. He isn't dead, not completely. Without Bella, Emmett would cease to exist. We should be grateful. He isn't dead."

Edward threw his arms around me. "I knew it! I knew she was fucking with me. But… how?"

"Edward, she wasn't, as you so delicately put it, 'fucking with' you. She is what she said is. Their whole family is vampires. Em… well, now so is Emmett, but at least he isn't dead."

"No, what the fuck is this? Why do you all feel the need to do this to me? Alice!! Vampires don't exist. They are made in movies and books. A figment of people's crazy imagination. There is no fucking way."

"Edward Anthony Masen! You listen to me! I am not fucking with you. Bella isn't fucking with you. It is the truth and if you would take your head out of your ass you would be able to see it with your own two eyes. They never eat around humans, because they can't digest human food. They never go out in the sunlight because they sparkle. You saw that today. They are soooo very cold, because they don't have blood to circulate. You've felt that. Their skin is like marble, because they are indestructible. You must have felt her hand, or her lips… how they don't give way under your touch or your kiss. I know you saw Bella run in the meadow. What human can do that? She is faster than anything I've ever seen. Their eyes, what has that color of eyes? I know you saw her with the red eyes. How can you explain all of that away? You can't. This isn't a ghost you can try to debunk. This isn't a virus you can put under a microscope. Just open your eyes and your heart. You know what they are. You know what Emmett has turned into."

He just sat there with a look of hard concentration on his face. I knew he was trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together on his own. Of course I showed him where they went, but he had to put the pieces in their prospective places. I saw the light bulb turn on his eyes.

"She… she's a vampire. Why? How? How did that happen to her?"

"Edward, I don't know. You're going to have to ask her that."

His face contorted into pain. "Oh Alice. I've been a fool again. I… I said some horrible things to her… in the meadow… in our meadow."

"Oh Edward, you're a guy. Of course, you said horrible things to her. That's what guys do. Now, do you know what else guys do?"

He just shook his head at me.

I looked at him, raised my head and said, "You fix what you broke."

I picked Bella up as gently as I could and ran her straight home. I didn't know what had happened out in the meadow. She had tears on her face. She was still in horrible emotional pain. I was deeply afraid that people could die from a broken heart. I was afraid that Bella would be the first case. I ran straight to Carlisle's office and yelled for him. I placed Bella down on the sofa. Carlisle came up a short second later.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Carlisle, I don't know. All… All I know is she is in so much pain… in her heart." I said gasping for breath trying to get over the pain she was causing me.

"What do you mean?" he questioned.

"I don't know what happened. I found her like this in the meadow. She hasn't responded to anything I've done. I've tried shaking her, slapping her (lightly of course). I've tried just about everything. She hasn't opened her eyes. It's like… she passed out."

"That... that's impossible. Vampires can't pass out. I've never seen a vampire pass out. Well, other than what happened to her in Italy." We both shuddered to think about that.

"All I know is that she hasn't responded to anything, and she's hurting emotionally. Alice called me and told me that Bella told Edward about us."

Carlisle looked up at me with a look of regret on his face. "Oh, Jasper… you mean… Edward?"

"Yes. He knows. Alice said that she would take care of him. I'm not sure what she meant by that… but I trust her."

"This boy has caused our Bella so much heartache already, but now this. Do you know what he said to her?"

"No, Alice didn't tell me. We didn't talk too long. I could call her. Try to figure something out."

"Okay. I'm going to check Bella over more thoroughly. Can you step outside?"

"Sure. If you need anything just let me know."

I ran downstairs and out the back door. I hated to feel this way, but I had to get away from Bella. I couldn't handle it. Maybe that's why she passed out. Maybe she couldn't handle the pain she was in. Her body just shut down. I dialed Alice's number.

Jasper: Hey Al, can I ask you a question?

Alice: Jasper, I can't talk right now. We're on our way over to your house.

Jasper: NO! You can't come here. Emmett… he's… he's not ready yet. You can't come here. It's too dangerous.

Alice: Oh, Jasper. Nothing will happen. He's still out of it, right?

Jasper: Yeah, but what happens if he wakes up and you're here? He will be too strong to control. Even with Carlisle, Rosalie, and me. We wouldn't be able to stop him if he attacked you. I can't let anything happen to you.

Alice: Jasper, I told you… I've seen it. It will be fine. Don't worry so much. We will be there in about 5 minutes. Love you. Be safe.

Jasper: I… I love you too.

I hung up and ran as fast as I could to the dining room where I had left Rose and Emmett earlier before looking for Bella. Rose was sitting next to Emmett running her hand across the top of his head, waiting until the change was finally complete.

I stopped and listened. I couldn't hear anything. That was odd. Emmett's heart should have been beating a hundred miles a minute.

"Rose, what happened?"

"I don't know." She said softly. "It just quit about a minute ago, while you were outside. He hasn't screamed once since she bit him. Do you think he's okay? I… I'm scared Jasper. What if… what if it didn't work?"

"She did everything right. She even went steps further than necessary. Putting her venom on his wounds was genius. Look, his gashes and cuts are healed. You know that it worked. I just don't know why his heart has stopped, nor why he hasn't screamed. I can barely remember the pain, but I know it was horrible. The worst pain ever, well, until…"

"Until what?" she asked.

So I told her quickly about Bella. Then I remembered that Alice was coming. "Rose, we have to move him. We have to put him in the basement. Alice and Edward are coming here… now. She should be here any minute. I can't take the chance of Emmett attacking her."

"I understand. Don't worry about it. Will you help me?"

I reached over and grabbed Emmett's shoulders while Rose grabbed his feet. We placed him on a spare couch in the basement. I left her there with him and made my way back up the stairs when I heard the knock on the door.
