EPOV

I didn't understand why Alice was so hesitant going to school this morning. She wouldn't let me into her thoughts at all, thinking about last seasons runway and translating her favourite poems into Mandarin. Bella and I took my new Volvo and the others rode with Rosalie. On the way to school Bella was deep in thought. I smiled as I watched my love looking wistfully out the window, wondering for probably the billionth time in my existence, what on earth she could be thinking about.

"Bella honey, what are you.."

"…Thinking about?" she finished. A habit we had gotten into from the countless times I had asked her this same question.

She smiled at me and sighed.

"I'm thinking about Charlie" she whispered "Just driving through here brings back so many memories, even though human memories are meant to fade, and, I cant help but believe it was I who was the cause of his death. The doctors claimed it was a heart attack that killed him, but I still believe, he died of a broken heart."

She was sobbing now and I pulled the car over and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her into my lap.

"Oh Bella honey, I'm so sorry I shouldn't have pried."

"It's ok, its not your fault, you were never to know" she sighed, calming down a bit now. We sat there for a few moments in silence thinking about past lives, and the old days when Bella was human. She had never really gotten over Charlie, it was sad and although I hated to admit it, I too believed her theory, for after he had heard the news that Bella had 'died', he never really 'lived' another day in his life, living brokenly. He died a few months after and even though that was 40 odd years ago now, she still blamed herself for his death. It was heartbreaking.

We finally arrived at school after our little talk. Alice was waiting in the parking lot with that same strange look on her face, but her mind was blocked. Classes went by normally for the morning and Bella cheered up a bit, smiling more often then she had been this morning. It made me happy to see her smiling, it lit up my day. Lunch came around and we sat down with our food, all props of course, and sat in silence for a few minutes. It wasn't until I saw Alice stiffen at the sight of something over my shoulder. The rest of my family turned to look at the sight was well. Sitting down at a table was an obviously new girl, hanging out with the in-crowd. I didn't see anything wrong with this picture until she met our gaze. My eyes turned black as I let out a sharp gasp…
