"Please don't let me too late," I said to myself while I drove.

I hadn't look back since Alice handed me her car keys. All I thought about was getting to the airport. The letter and the picture frame were sitting in the passenger seat next me. I had a thousand things going through my mind. I didn't care, I had to stop him from getting on that plane to least talk. I knew that if he got on that plane, I would never see him again. The drive seemed to take forever and I did no less that seventy miles an hour the whole way. I was happy when I saw the exit and pulled into the parking lot. I grabbed the letter and picture frame and ran into the airport.

"Flight 852 to New York last call for boarding," the announcement said. I looked at the board and saw that his gate was on the other side of the airport. I took the deathtraps of shoes off, picked them up and took off running. I noticed a clock while I was running and I had less then five minutes to get there. I ran as fast as I could weaving my way around the crowd of people. I finally made it to the gate, and the door was shut.

"The flight to New York," I said to the attendant. I had to ask I needed to know. All she could do was look at the window and point.

"I'm sorry miss," she said. "But it's taking off right now."

"No," I said. I was too late and didn't get a chance to talk to him.

"Is everything okay," she asked.

"Yes," I told her. It wasn't alright and it was my fault this time.

I sat down in a chair looking at the picture in the picture frame. Tears started to fall on the picture as I sat there. After a couple of minutes I got up and headed to the car. I grabbed my cell from the passenger seat and called Alice, of course it went straight to messages.

"Alice," I said staying calm. "I was too late. The plane had already taken off when I got to the gate. I'm driving home and your car will be at my house with the keys in the front seat."

I hung up the phone and drove back to Forks.

The drive back to Seattle was quiet. Jasper and I hardly spoke he was leaving me alone and I was glad. I sat there and wondered if this was how she felt when I left. My heart was shattered and I didn't know how to put it back together. I didn't feel like this when I first left. Maybe because I expected her to always be there when I came back and now she wasn't.

"Thanks Jasper," I said when we pulled up to the airport.

"You're welcome," he said. "Are you going to be alright?"

"Yeah," I told him grabbing my bag. "Take care of my sister will you."

"Yes sir," he said standing straight up and saluting.

"Very funny smart ass," I told him laughing. "I'll call when I get in New York."

"Have a safe flight," he said getting into the car.

I watched him drive-off and headed into the airport. I looked at my ticket and headed towards the gate on the other side of the airport.

"Flight 852 to New York last call for boarding," I heard being announced as I handed the attendant my boarding pass.

"You made it just in time sir," she said.

"Thank you," I said walking on.

When I was on the plane I took my seat and buckled up. I closed my eyes thinking this was for the best. She deserved to be happy, she deserved to be loved, and I couldn't give her that.

"This is captain speaking we are cleared for takeoff. So seat back and we'll be in New York in a few hours," the captain said over the PA.

I looked out the window saying goodbye to Seattle as took off. I said goodbye to Bella as a tear rolled down my cheek.
