Too Late
One minute
I am looking at jasper
He is watching
the geese flying overhead
with a hungry expression
His eyes dark
with longing and thirst
The next moment
A blinding light
I hear the crashing waves
Feel the harsh wind
And as much as I try not to
I see Bella Swan
Standing on a precipice
Arms spread wide
Hair whipping back
Soaked and tangled by the rain
Jacket flapping
A smile
Spreads across her face
Happy
Peaceful
The smile of a hurt woman
Finally at rest
"No!
I want to yell
I want to scream
To tell her to stop
Assure her of Edwards love
'He still cares.'
I think desperately
'He still loves you'
but she is decided
she leaps off the edge
flies like an angel
to plunge into the waves
black water covers her
and she is lost from my sight
I wait
And wait
But she does not resurface
I snap back into reality
"Bella!"
I scream
And Jasper looks over
Picking up on my sudden panic
"What did you see?"
I hear him ask
But I am already planning
Plane tickets
I will need
to comfort Charlie
because I already know
I am too late
HAPPY 2008!!!
