Two Weeks Later…

EPOV

The past two weeks has been tough for both Alice and Bella. They haven't said a word to either of us and they look like zombies, as they wobble around the house. This is killing me, just watching her suffer knowing that I can't do anything to help. All I can do is show support, which is exactly what Emmett and I have been doing. I've woken up to Bella's screaming multiple of times. She screams and cries in her sleep, sometimes I just lay there and listen to what she's saying, until I feel that the dream is only going to become worse. Usually theses dreams would start out happy, but won't end to well. It took a while, but we managed to clean Alice's mess up. And we didn't wait on buying new furniture. It coasted us a lot but we understand and can't yell at her. Bella and I are going to visit Charlie at the hospital, because I think its best that she should at least say goodbye.

The car ride was long and quiet except for the sound of the air conditioner blowing. The silence was becoming weird so I decided to try and get her to talk to me.

"I invited my parents for dinner tonight. Isn't that nice that we're going to have company?" I asked while taking a glance at her.

She looked sick, her face was red and she had circles under her eyes. She didn't sleep as much as she wanted. Her hair lost its volume and it stood there flat, but still soft. She kept staring at the glove compartment in front of her, she said nothing.

"I'm making your favorite, salmon, string beans, and mashed potatoes." I told her.

This would always cheer her up; she loved it when I tried to cook for her. Even though I would always burn one side of the fish, she would still eat it and tell me she loves it. But this time she just sat there, sad. I sighed and shook my head, I knew she wasn't going to talk to me. It was worth a shot.

When I pulled into the parking lot I heard Bella clear her throat, getting ready to say something. I turned my head towards her begging in my mind for her to say at least one word.

"Can you make your special orange juice with it?" She asked, with a hopeful look on her face.

I pulled her into a hug, smiled to myself and whispered in her ear, "Absolutely".

I found a parking spot close to the door and I turned off the car and stepped out of the car. I ran to Bella's side and opened the door for her, being the gentlemen I was. We took the elevator up to level 7, and went into Charlie's room. Charlie was still in the last position he was the last time we saw him. Bella grabbed my hand and squeezed it, hard enough for me to grunt in pain. Bella let things sink in for a while and took a long breath. She turned and looked up at me.

"Can I talk to him, alone?" She asked.

I nodded and left the curtain walls, I opened and closed the door so she could think I left. I so desperately wanted to hear what she had to say.

This was hard, I didn't know where to begin. When Edward closed the door behind him I knelt down to Charlie's side and gathered up my thoughts. A big lump suddenly appeared on my throat and my eyes were begging to water.

"Hi Charlie" I chocked. "I know you can hear me, and I want to get a few things off my chest before I say goodbye."

I took an unsteady breath and looked at his painful face. I laid my hand on his forehead, he was burning up. I decided to brush his soft short hair instead.

"I'm sorry I was such a total bitch to you when I was growing up" I sighed " I'm sorry that I never told you I love you every day. I guess when Alice showed up, and that she was the center of attention, I became jealous. Thought you loved her more than me, so I decided to… never tell you I love you. When actually I do."

Tears were streaming down my cheeks and I bit back a sob.

"I'm sorry I was distant from you when all you wanted was to be around me. And what's wrong with calling you dad? I feel so bad. I just got you back, and you've only seen Renesmee once. I wanted you there for part of her life; I want her to remember you. But I know that can't happen. Dad, I guess what im trying to say is, I'm sorry for all the hell that I put you through, and no matter what I love…"

I couldn't finish my speech because a long beeeeeep sounded the room. I looked at the heart beat sensor, and tears uncontrollably started to stream down my cheeks and onto Charlie's arm.

"Charlie? Dad? Daddy?" I asked. "No, no, no, no, no, Daddy…."

I through my arms on his chest and rested my head into my folded arms, then the crying began.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" I repeatedly sobbed.

"I love you, daddy I do!" I cried.

Just then two arms wrapped around my waist, and they picked me up. A nurse came into the room and put the blanket over my father's head.

"No!" I shouted "Charlie!"

Edward pulled me into an embrace and I grabbed a fist full of his shirt. I pressed my head on his chest, and he wrapped his arms around me tightly.

I didn't want to be here when he died, I didn't want to hear the long beep that filled the air. I didn't want to hear Charlie take that choke of a last breath, I didn't want to see the tear that ran down his cheek when he died. I didn't want to be by the fresh scent of death. I couldn't look at his eyes that yelled and called for help. I just couldn't. I pulled myself out of the embrace and sprinted out the door, down the hall, and down the steps. I couldn't take it, I needed to be anywhere than here. I sprinted passed the car, passed the streets, and into the woods. I dodged some trees, and noticed Edward running and shouting behind me.

"Bella, wait! Stop!" Edward called for me.

I didn't stop, the farther I got from Charlie's smell the better I felt. I didn't want to be by anyone I loved right now, I wanted to be alone to think. I threw my sweater in front of me and made a right, hopefully taking Edward off my path. I jumped on a tree and climbed it until I was at the very top. The view was breath taking, just how out of breath I was. Even though, I really didn't need to breathe. A tear slid down my cheek, while I remembered everything that happened in the past half hour. Edward desperately wanted me to speak, and as a favor I finally did, I apologized to my dad in every way I could think of, he died in front of me, and now I was on top of a tree hoping no one would find me.

"Babe? Can you come down please?" Edward called from under me.

I sighed, closed my eyes and tried to shut him out.

"Babe? I'll stay here for as long as you take." He shouted in a soothing voice.

I sighed again, I couldn't keep him out of my head. I can't ever keep him out of my thoughts. I jumped off of the branch I was sitting on, and landed on the floor feet first. Vibrations were sent throughout my entire body but I paid it no mind. I looked at Edward with what I thought was an expressionless face. He extended both of his arms out for a hug. I slowly walked towards him and hugged him. I sighed in relief, this actually was what I needed. Edwards arms around me, and the feeling of comfort. Edward traced kisses on the side of my face until his lips met mine. We haven't kissed in a while and all the pain, and sadness was suddenly lifted off my shoulders. I guess Edward made everything better, our lips molded and moved perfectly together. Edward kissed the tear from before off my cheek and took a look at me. His eyes sparkled with passion and love, while his face grew with worry.

"I'm so sorry" he whispered, while putting the sweater I threw over my shoulders.

"I'm sorry too." I told him.

"Why are you sorry?" He asked me.

"I haven't made things easier for you. I'm just sorry."

Edward smiled. "Don't be. Now let's get out of here, its freezing."

Edward wrapped an arm around me a rubbed my arm repeatedly, so I wouldn't get cold. I guess this is what it's like losing someone you love. I know I'm going to go through this, until everyone I love other than the four people I live with is gone.
