Ch. 12: In The EndEdward's POV:
I didn't need the beeping heart monitors to tell me. I could hear the fading pounds, and I could feel it pulsing through me, threatening to break me apart. I had never heard a sound quite as terrible as my angel's heart slowly fading.
Hearing a conversation no one was ever meant to hear, I cringed.
"Mrs. Newton isn't looking good, " a nurse said sadly in the next room over.
The doctor sighed. "I know, " is all he could say. "I don't think she's going to make it, " the doctor told the nurse.
Of course I had already known it. After being to medical school so many times, it was impossible not to tell. But hearing someone else voice it just made ever so real.
I walked to Bella's hospital bed. She was still beautiful, even after all these years. With her light gray hair strewn across the white pillow, and her pulsing veins visible through her pale skin, my Bella had never seemed more vulnerable as she did right now.
To even get into Bella's room, I had to tell them I was Bella's grandson. The lie had slipped through my lips so easily, it had even surprised myself. Even when Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett had claimed to be my brothers and sisters, it had never hit me as well.
But it was just another lie. Just a simple grain of sand in the vast desert of more and more lies that had become my hectic life. But I hated this life. I hated it more than anything. I was trapped in all these lies, and the thirst for blood forever.
I had been so wrapped up my in my thoughts, I had missed it. Bella's heart had gotten even slower. It was getting fainter and fainter by the second.
Bella's time was coming. And for one of the first times in my life, I realized that I was helpless. All my strength and speed wouldn't help me this time. Nothing could ever help me.
As I closed my eyes, I waited for the end to come.
Jasper's POV:
I watched in shock as Jacob Black violently grabbed my brother, blaming it all on him. The emotions in this room were overwhelming. Jacob's anger was like flames. Edward's terrible guilt, and Rosalie's protective instincts for her brother. But Carlisle emotions were always good. They were always calm, and in control.
I sent calmness in waves down the room. Jacob dropped Edward and sunk into a chair.
And that's when Edward said it. It was the thing we all knew, but none of us had ever said anything about it. Bella was dying. There was no point in avoiding the truth any longer.
Alice, my beautiful Alice, burst into terrible, nerve racking, dry sobs. Her emotions made me dizzy. Esme, her shoulders also shaking, went and put her arms around Alice.
I slowly backed off. With all those emotions, I had never felt comfortable in these situations.
Jacob went stiff with a mixture of rage and sadness.
All the emotions…
I just couldn't take it anymore. I got up and ran.
And didn't stop.
Levi's POV:
Come on, stupid car, I thought. Can't you go any faster! Me, Leah, and Danny were speeding as fast as the car would go towards the hospital where Bella was brought.
"This is all my fault, " Leah muttered, looking down at the ground. " All my stupid fault."
"No, it's not, " I protested. "It was no ones fault. Bella made her own choice.
Leah didn't say anything after that. Neither did Danny or me.
The second I parked the car; all three of us jumped out of the car and ran towards the sliding doors. I suddenly cried out in shock as I ran head on into a blond bloodsucker running out of the hospital.
Danny and Leah came to a stop behind me, both ready for a fight. I ignored them.
"How is she, " I asked the bloodsucker – hadn't Bella introduced him as Jasper or Jared or something like that?
"Bad, " Jasper replied. " She, she just might not make it. It doesn't look good. Not at all."
I nodded, letting his words sink in.
I tried to walk past Jasper, and into the hospital.
And that's when the most terrible howl I had ever heard roared out of the hospital.
Edward's POV:
I walked to my Bella's side, taking her cold into mine. If I could cry, I know I would be right now.
Everything around me was a mess of doctors and beeping. One doctor put a oxygen mask onto Bella, and another took put a IV into her arm. I knew that the doctors were only doing this out of instinct. We all knew she was going to die. There was no way around it.
I pressed my other hand lightly in her own, and held a unnecessary breathe, waiting. Waiting for anything and everything. For maybe just her eyes to flicker, or a blush to spread to her wrinkled cheeks.
Something in the near distance beeped, and the activity of doctors and nurses blended around me. One doctor tried to pull me away, but I stubbornly stayed next to my Bella's side. I wasn't leaving. Not in the end. I had left her once. I wasn't leaving her again.
The beeping and scramble of doctors turned into a blur around me. Nothing came into focus. I was with Bella in a world where nothing else could touch us. We were safe for once in out lives.
I closed my eyes and heaved a sigh. I knew it was coming. And with every breath, it was coming closer.
It was the thing that all of us would have if we have had happy endings. But sadly, none of us had one. And none of us would ever get one.
I took in a deep breath, and shut out everything except for the steadily declining heart rate. It got softer and softer, slower and slower.
And that's when it stopped.
A terrible howl – my howl- thundered through the hospital, as I realized my angel was gone. My world was dark once again. The pain tore through me, and I broke into dry sobs. I clutched my head and sunk to the ground, and everything was a blur around me.
I made myself climb unsteadily to my feet. Closing my eyes, I snuck my way past my family and outside. I knew what I had to do.
It was finally time for my happy ending.
