Always told in Edward's POV unless otherwise stated.
THIS STORY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A WALK TO REMEMBER.
Tortured by his past and pained by an uncertain future, Edward Cullen drifts through life with an almost overwhelming lethargy and bitterness. But when he meets the mysterious, beautiful, shy Isabella Swan, his whole world seems to change. Drawn in by her gentle but lonely spirit, he begins to experience the joy life can bring. But as he discovers the reason for his new friend's loneliness, Edward also finds out that life itself can be frighteningly fragile.
Preface
Unknown POV
Unknown Time
I glance above and around, surprised to find myself lying down. But where? A world of white surrounds me... Snow? It is. Falling in never-ending sheets, it blankets me in white.
What am I doing here? Where is everyone? Surely I'm not alone in such a place...?
I huddle my covered limbs closer to myself and pause. I'm holding something in my buried hand. I pull it up. In mine is another hand. Smaller, smoother, and almost as white as the snow covering us. A girl's hand.
Oh. That's right. I'm not alone. I never am, even in this world.
I brush the snow off her face, and her beautiful sleeping visage appears. Bronze hair frames a petite, heart-shaped face.
How could I have forgotten her? We were always together in this world.
This sad, lonely world.
