Another really short chapter. I'm making it short on purpose. It adds to the suspense ;-)

Disclaimer: don't own it.

Chapter 29

I couldn't breathe.

He wouldn't ignore my call.

He must be dead.

Dead.

"No..."

"Breathe, Bella, breathe!" I heard a distant voice cry.

"Edward..." I said with my last breath.

"Breathe, Bella, breathe! Bella! No...Bella...please..."

I recognized that voice. I knew it from somewhere. How did I know that voice?

If only I could breathe and get oxygen to my brain so I could think properly.

I tried to breathe. It didn't work. I couldn't get the thought that Edward must be dead out of my head. There was no point in living if Edward was dead. I would not breathe. I would die with Edward. I would not breathe.

Breathe!

I won't breathe!

Breathe!

I won't breathe!

"Bella...please...no..." the same voice said again.

The voice belonged to someone I know...

"Please..."

...someone I care about...

"No..."

...someone I love...

"Breathe..."

...but who was it?

"Bella..."

Suddenly, his name hit the surface of my brain.

Edward.

He was alive.

"Edward!" I shrieked. Knowing that he was alive, along with yelling, made me breathe.

The room stopped spinning. The blackness lifted from over my eyes.

I looked around and noticed that I was lying down on the floor.

"Edward...?" I said as I looked around for him.

Except for me, the room was empty. "Edward...?" I asked again. I knew it was hopeless. He wasn't here. I had been right. He was gone. Hearing his voice was just like it had been earlier this year. A hallucination. He wasn't here. He was gone. He was dead.

Dead.

The room started spinning again.

Muhaha! Just when you think everything is ok, it gets bad again!!
