-In annoying announcer voice- Last time on Star-Crossed…

After waking up on a Sunday morning, Bella decides she is going to stop by the Cullens, since they were supposed to return from a hunting trip that morning. Of course, she is greeted by Alice who is a little more exuberant then usual. Bella assumes it was due to a vision, but Alice refused to tell her what it was about. Edward then tells Bella that Alice had been chipper like that all weekend. After talking for a while, Bella gets a call from Jessica, asking her to baby-sit her little sister, while she was on a date with Mike. After Edward made fun of her, saying she'd probably drop the kid, she agreed to the job, just to prove Edward wrong. Then Bella goes home to have dinner with her father and the Blacks.

I held open the door, as Jacob and his father made their way inside, and into the kitchen. "The Blacks are here, dad." I called, as I made my way into the living room. I decided to make lasagna, since it would occupy a lot of time, and would help me avoid any awkward conversation.

I heard Billy and Charlie start talking about sports, as usual. They were saying something about how pathetic the Dolphins were in their last game. Were the Dolphins basketball, or football? They weren't baseball. That much I knew. I spread out the supplies on the counter, as I pondered this. Hmm, maybe they were hockey?

I heard Jacob enter the room. Oh boy, here we go. "Hey Bella,"

"Hey Jacob," I said, digging through drawers, searching for some ricotta cheese. "How are things?"

"Great," he replied. I didn't need to see his face to know he was smiling. "What about you? What's new?"

"Nothing really," I replied, conversationally, continuing to dig, but not finding anything. "Crap, we're out of cheese." I slammed the refrigerator door, and grabbed my keys off the counter.

"Oh, I'll go get it," Jacob offered, smiling brightly. He was really sweet. I probably should treat him better. There was a time when I thought that he could easily be a good friend of mine.

"Thanks Jake," I said brightly, "But I can go, after all, you can keep up with the guys and sports a lot better then I can." I chuckled.

He nodded, "Probably so," he chuckled as well. "I'll keep them entertained."

"Thanks Jake," I grinned, and dashed out the door.

I started driving towards the small store where we got all our groceries, but was stopped in my tracks due to a major car accident. A car accident in Forks, on a little road, not even on a highway; how is that possible?

From what I could make out, there was a very large moving truck had crushed a small car into a tree. The small car had hit the tree from the side, and it must had been hit very hard, as the car was practically wrapped around the tree. I frowned in sympathy; there was no way that the driver of the small car could have survived. I squinted my eyes to get a better look at the car, to see if it was one I recognized. I instantly regretted it. I felt my heart speed up, as I fought a scream. The small car was a silver, shiny, Volvo.

"Edward," I breathed.

No, no, no, NO! It couldn't be Edward's car. Edward never, ever, crashed. I pulled over, and rested my forehead against the steering wheel, feeling the tears burning in my eyes. He was a vampire; he couldn't die, could he? Oh, but he could, they killed James! Oh God. What if…

NO! He got away. He had to have gotten away somehow. He must have run out, with that super speed of his. Yes. Edward was fine, he could run. But could he run at 120 miles an hour?

STOP IT! I banged my head against the steering wheel. Damn that pessimistic voice! Then it happened. I heard a bang, and my head snapped to the Volvo, and I watched it as the car burst into flames. I couldn't stop the scream this time, as the loud piercing noise escaped my lips. There was no way now. If he hadn't gotten out before, he was gone now.

I pulled my knees to my chest, and hugged them close to me, sobbing. I had to go to the Cullens. I couldn't let myself believe he was gone, until I saw it myself. I had to tell Charlie first, though. I dropped my knees, and pulled off the curb, and sped off to Charlie's house.

When I walked in, I felt four pairs of concerned eyes on me. It must have been obvious that I was upset.

"Bella…" Charlie called softly. "What's wrong? Have you been crying?"

I nodded, "There's—there's been an accident." I managed to say, before starting to sob again. Jacob immediately walked over to comfort me. He pulled me into a hug, and I gratefully sobbed into his shoulder. I didn't care; it's all that I could do.

"What happened?" he asked, patting my back.

"Edward," I whispered.

"What?" Billy asked, intrigued. Although he didn't sound concerned at all.

"His car," I murmured, "He got into an accident—I saw it."

"Oh Bella," Jacob said, his voice dripping with concern.

"I have to go see the Cullens," I announced. Jacob let go, offering a small smile. I weakly returned it, and spun around towards the door. I had to know if it was true.

If it was true, my life as I knew it, was over.

Shabang! Cliffhanger! Teehee, remember New Moon never happened, so the whole, 'the only way to kill a vampire is to tear him to pieces and burn the body' thing never happened. So, for all you know, I could have just killed Edward. Bwhaha. Guess you'll find out next chapter!

It will be up very soon, I promise. XD
