Call

"Hey, Courtney!" Mike called from across the court. She was sitting on the bleachers over to the right of me. We weren't doing anything in gym today because someone had played a prank on the school and punctured a hole in all the equipment.

Courtney looked up some from her daydreaming but didn't speak.

"So I was wondering, you know, maybe we could hang out sometime." Mike encouraged, smiling his boyish smile.

Her eyes rolled and she got up and walked away. A slow sigh came from Mike as he sulked away. Jessica glared from the corner of the bleachers. I didn't understand why though, but I suppose it didn't really matter.

I figured I'd sit with Courtney at lunch today. I hadn't for the past three days, it just didn't feel right. Deep down, I don't think she wanted me there. Just like Edward didn't want me, it just didn't hurt as much.

I got up and went upstairs to change in the locker room. Once in the room, I could see Courtney just sitting on one of the benches. She was on her phone, and it seemed to be she was texting.

She looked up as the door shut behind me. She saw me through the same mirror I saw her in and she slowly got up and got the rest of her cloths.

Say something my head told me. But my mouth didn't move as she walked by me, emitting cold air from her skin.

In a daze I changed and left for my next class.

The class helped clear my senses and brought me to lunch quicker then I expected.

She was sitting alone again today, but she wasn't listening to her music. She stared blankly into the distance, out the window and far away. She seemed not in this world, as if she were in a galaxy of her own. Her posture resembled that of a statue, a beautiful marble goddess, sitting at a lunch table.

I got my food and slowly made my way to the table. Courtney didn't acknowledge me though.

"Hi." I said meekly, hoping she wouldn't ask me to leave.

She nodded, taking a quick glance to me then looked away. I wish I knew what she was thinking, or who she was listening in to, if she was listening to anyone. If she had that ability.

"I don't think I like this town." Courtney pronounced after a very awkward silence.

"Really?" I asked, saddened by her statement. I didn't really like this town either anymore, but it was the only connection I had left to him and I could never bring myself to leave it behind. "Why?"

"It reminds me too much of my past. Its just like my old town. Dull, lonely, cold, and wet." she still wasn't looking at me, and her eyes were steadied on the wall across the room. Her eyelids did not blink and the crystal blue eyes did not sparkle.

"You get used to it after awhile," I spoke, remembering how I hated the rain to begin with, then slowly got used to it. It was apart of life now.

"When you've been in it you're whole life, it gets tiresome." Courtney's voice said monotonously. Her expression was slowly deepening, like something was going wrong. Like something was about to happen.

We both jumped when the phone on the table began vibrating. Courtney stalled to pick it up. With the quickest reaction I'd had in two months, I read the name on the phone.

Edward.

My body flooded with unfamiliar feeling. I think it was called happiness, or surprise. This was the proof, this had to make her Julia.

She stared into my eyes. Her blue eyes impeccably large and filled with horror. She knew she'd done something wrong. She'd let me see the truth and now I knew her secret. Her hand grabbed the phone and she quickly pressed it to her ear and with a quick breath, she regained her clam.

"Hello." she said, her monotone back. "What do you need?" she paused, letting him answer. Her eyes got a little larger. "I don't know, I'm…I'm-" she stuttered for words. "I'm at a meeting," she sighed.

"Edwa--!" her cold hand on top of my lips stopped me right in my tracts. Her eyes glared at me, going straight through my eyes and burning a hole in my skull, and seeming to melt my brain to liquid.

"I'll have to think about it and call you later, okay." she finished. "Talk to you later." And as soon as she hung up, she was gone and she didn't come back. The last period, she wasn't there.

I had too see her again. Nothing else mattered. She had a connection to Edward. She has the connection I needed and had been craving for this whole time. She had the connection to my soul, the ability to bring back my love, my life.

...Break...

The cold touch on my face was familiar and for a second I actually believed myself to be dreaming. But no, this touch was too real to be a dream.

My body jolted upward and my eyes saw a figure dart to the wall.

"Edward?" I question, still somewhat asleep. Then reality kicked in. The moon shown on the figure and her blonde hair hung around her face, shining with her skin and eyes in the moon light. The figure wasn't tall and it wasn't wide. It was her.

"Julia…" I said clearer and though the figure did not move, I knew it was alive. Well, almost.

"Julia." I said again getting up from the bed slowly. I walked over to her. She was a little shorter than me, but with much more beauty. Her eyes were sliver and the moonlight highlighted them to the perfect setting known to man. Everything seemed to shine along with the moon light, only making her beauty even greater. I knew even in death, some place like a blazing fire, she would still be beautiful.

"Julia." I said once more, now smiling and placing my hand on her face. She instantly disappeared from under my touch. I turned around and saw her standing lightly on the bed. Her body didn't even seem to crease the sheets. "Why are you here if you are only going to run away from me?" I stared at her.

Her body slowly sat on the bed, still looking at me. "I have to be careful." she pronounced. Her voice was different from before. It was more higher and sounded more heavenly.

I rushed over to her and hugged her. She stiffened underneath me as I rubbed my face into her hair, now crying. "You feel just like Edward." I sniffed. "You smell like him almost too, but with a more sweeter tint."

She sighed and slowly she wrapped her arms around me. "I'm going to have to leave now." her voice said lowly.

"What?" I choked. Not again. "Why?" I jerked back and looked at her.

"Because I'm not supposed to be here," she looked down, as if she'd done something wrong.

"Then why did you come here?! If you knew you were supposed to be here in the first place," I paused, "why did you come at all?!"

She chuckled. "Because I don't listen to Edward when he gives me orders. And I wouldn't be leaving now if he hadn't called."

"Edward, it's something he told you…isn't it?" I asked.

"Sort of." her body twisted uncomfortably. "He said he needs my help…he's trying to track Victoria. But Edward is a horrible tracker."

"So he needs you, for your ability." my voice was now lifeless.

"Pretty much."

"But, why did you really come?" I asked wanting to know the real reason she'd came in the first place.

"I didn't want to judge you before I met you. I also wanted to make sure nothing happened to you. If something happened to you, Edward would do something I couldn't save him from…" she drifted into a thought, quieting until the room was extremely still.

"When are you going to him?" I questioned, losing my happiness.

"Tonight."

"Please! Don't leave until I go to sleep, it will make it easier." I pleaded.

"Okay." she got up and sat in the chair that Edward always sat in.

I got under the covers and looked at her.

"You want to ask me questions, don't you?" she asked, reading my expression.

"Yes, why did you leave Edward?"

"Edward's told you about the Volturi before. Hopefully you'll never meet them. Once I did, I lost myself, and when I found it, you were already set to replace me." she answered.

I looked to the ground. "Did you love Edward?"

"Love is two ways. He loved you before he even knew it, so no. I never loved Edward, I only saw him as a brother." she crossed her legs and began to rock in the chair.

"He doesn't love me." I gripped the sheets closer to my body.

"He does."

"But, he left."

"For your safety. It wasn't smart and he didn't think it out enough, but his heart was in the right place. He really does love you." she looked at me and smiled. "I haven't been able to hear Edward since he left, that means he's sad. He's hurting without you…he really misses you."

"If you can't hear him, who were you listening to earlier?" I perked my head to see her smile.

"Alice, I was seeing her visions. Watching where he was going. Trying to see what in the world he was doing running in every direction for no point." she looked at me, then at the clock next to me.

"You didn't want me to know did you?" I asked, knowing the answer.

"I knew you would figure it out. You knew the first day, I saw it in your eyes when you finally realized you had a connection to Edward. But I didn't want to tell you. If Edward knew I where here… he'd most likely never talk to me again and we'd probably fight a lot." she answered truthfully.

"Do you miss him?"

"Everyday… I remember all the times we had, and how it all just seemed to disappear when you came along. It all vanished, everything we had in common. I tend to believe it was my fault, that if I hadn't left, he might love me, but then I realize, he loves you so much more then me. He's practically forget about me." she frowned and stopped talking.

She did hate me. But some part of me believed she hated herself more.

...Break....

I don't know how long I've been asleep but I doesn't feel like long. School seems pointless to go to, its not like Edward would be there anyways. As I got ready I felt as though I were forgetting something, but it wouldn't come to me.

I didn't see anything. I didn't care for anything. I was dead, and I'd been dead ever since Edward left. My life meant nothing anymore.

"Time passes. Even when it seems impossible Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me."

Okay so the end was from new moon and is a time skip.
This is the end of the Bella Book.
