I hadn't realized I had fallen asleep until I felt myself being passed from Alice's lap, into someone else's arms. I slowly opened my eyes and saw the face of my beautiful angel. I smiled and he looked down into my eyes and leaned forward to press my lips to his. "I missed you," I said into his lips, then immediately jumped back, "Edward what happened?" I sat up remembering what had gone on the night or I guess day before?

I instinctively searched his body with my eyes for any cuts or wounds or anything. He seemed to be in one piece so I looked into his eyes again pleading for clarification of what had happened.

"It's okay Bella; I'll explain everything in just a minute." Edward set me down and I realized Alice was still in the room, silently conversing with Edward to fast for me to hear.

I sat back down on the couch and smoothed down my hair that was sure to be a mess from sleeping. As I followed, or tried to, follow their conversation, I saw Edward nod slightly and glance towards me, Alice's eyebrows shot up and I knew whatever they were talking about was important. Edward's face was twisted in what looked like to be almost fury. "Edward, wha-" I started to ask but he interrupted.

"Bella wait just a minute!" he suddenly yelled at me, I couldn't remember the last time he had raised his voice towards me. My face must have shown my shock because when I looked at Alice she smiled sympathetically before turning back towards Edward. I got up from the couch and started walking out of the living room, or more like away from Edward.

I decided that brushing my teeth was the closest thing from a distraction that I could muster, so I started up the stairs. In the bathroom, I remembered… Jake was dead, my best friend. Where was Billy? Where was Quil? And Edward? Did he have something to do with it? No, he couldn't have. But then who?

My body started crumbling from the weight of all I was trying to sort out. I fell onto the floor and started my incessant tears falling down my face again. Jake couldn't be dead. This can't be true! No, no it can't be happening!

I thought I heard another yell from downstairs that sounded like "Bella! Bella, what happ-" but then his cool marble hands were pulling me into his grasp. Cradling me like a child, he sat with his back against the tub. "Shhhh, Shhhh, Bella I am so sorry for yelling at you, I just- I just I was so worried, about things. And I don't even know- I am so sorry. I should never have yelled." He buried his face in my hair and kissed my ear.

I looked up at him through my tears and barely whispered, "Jake? Is he," It couldn't be true, "Is he-" Edward's face softened, and he nodded his head.

"I am so sorry Bella, I really am so sorry," My sobs racked through my body again. It was true, my best friend, my sun, my brother, was gone. Edward's hand stroked my back and I cried, he whispered soothing words into my ear most of which I didn't hear over my cries.

Eventually my tears ran dry and I could only whimper out the pain I felt, in my heart, in my stomach where the hole that ripped open earlier was burning. Only Edward's loving arms held me in one piece. But this wasn't the same hole as before, this was a new gash created by Jake's leaving, it wasn't as strong as when Edward left but it was enough to feel like it was tearing me in two.

As he rocked me back and forth all I could think about was losing Jacob. He meant so much to me and he was gone now, no he was gone forever.

I tried to sit up but when my body was too exhausted from crying Edward stood up with me hanging in his arms. He kissed my forehead once and walked gracefully down the stairs, and out the front door. When we walked outside, it was drizzling only dampening my mood farther. Edward shielded me from the rain by leaning forward, and walked out to the silver Volvo sitting in the driveway with a concerned Alice at the wheel.

He laid me on the back seat and slid his leg underneath my head; I curled up next to him as he closed the door beside him.

Before sleep had even enough time to over take me for a second time this day, I felt Edward lifting me up again walking me toward the white house I have grown to love so much. All I could see through the now pouring rain was Esme and Jasper standing on the porch looking relieved and excruciatingly worried at the same time.

As Edward walked past, Esme she ran her hand over my head and I exhaustedly smiled up at the woman I so desperately wished I could call my mother.

From behind me, I could hear Jasper and Alice, talking or more arguing. And from what I could hear Alice was not happy about what she was explaining. But I was too tired and too happy in my lover's arms to try and comprehend any more than that.
