A/N: So, so, so, so, so, so sorry I haven't updated sooner! But, I've been busy writing chapters for my new story Friend or Foe?. And, I've had loads of exams recently, so I've had to be revising for them.
SORRY!
It'd been exactly 3 months today since Bella had moved in with me. And things had been going brilliantly.
Seeing Bella's belly swell with our baby made me want to cry tears of joy every time I saw it. Hell, I even do cry a few times.
I handed in my leave of absence from work to Jasper a few weeks ago, telling him he was the boss now. I'd never seen a man smile so much.
"But how will you pay the bills and stuff... I mean... I know we earn a heck of a lot but..."
"Hey man, don't sweat it. I have more than enough; remember how much Grandad Masen left me in his will? I'm covered. We're covered."
Bella, of course, wasn't happy with not having a job, and of course she wouldn't enrol in college what with being 4 months pregnant.
4 months. Our baby will be here in 5 months.
I groaned. Too long!
"What's up baby?" Bella said snuggling up closer to me. Well, as close as her baby bump would let her.
"I just can't wait for squirt to come beautiful! I'm so excited!"
"Me too, Edward. Hey...I was just thinking, do you want to find the sex of the baby out... Or… No it doesn't matter..." she sighed.
"Shush Bella! Stop worrying! I would like to find the sex out, but if you don't want to then we won't." I smiled.
"I want too, Edward."
"Come on Edward, speed up, I want to get to the hospital" Bella smiled "I want to find out what our baby is!"
"Me too love" I smiled stroking her hand, "I don't want to crash though."
"You won't Edward" Bella smiled looking up at me. I looked back at Bella for ¼ of a second, her brown doe eyes irresistible, but that's all it took.
That's all it took for the car to swerve.
That's all it took for me to hit another person.
That's all it took for me to become a killer.
Bella's hand grabbed hold of my arm, pulling it away from the steering wheel. Not that it mattered because we were already tumbling down the desolate road into deaths abyss. Into deaths greedy mouth.
My life.
Bella's life.
The innocent bystanders life.
Our babies life.
Gone.
Gone in the blink of an eye.
The last thing I heard was Bella trying to say something, I tried to say 'I love you' back but I couldn't, the sudden impact of smashing glass stoped me.
Searing pain is all I feel.
All I know.
It feels never ending. The pain. The horror.
I can't even work out where its coming from. At first I thought it might be the glass from the windscreen piercing different parts of my body. But then I noticed it had become focused in one point.
In my heart.
And it was rolling in hot; scorching waves from there..
I want to die. The pain I maddening.
I tried to think of something to keep my grasp on reality, my Bella, our baby, but I couldn't, all I could think of was the horrible pain, and...
The innocent person I killed.
I'm not sure if it was the adrenaline that had sharpened my eye sight, my senses, but his eyes were the most peculiar colour. A gold colour, with tiny flecks of amber.
Funny I should notice the colour of his eyes when I'm about to die.
Funny how my senses were heightened during the accident, however now, the only thing I could feel, see, touch, and even taste, was pain.
I hoped Bella died peacefully. A sudden impact, a short, quick death. I hope she isn't suffering as I am.
Time meant nothing, nothing, as I lay here, willing death to come.
Surely death shouldn't be this painful?
I tried to think of something that I'd done wrong in my life. Maybe having Bella? Maybe one person was only allowed so much happiness in their life time and I'd exceeded it? Maybe this is why I'm in so much pain…
My heart feels as though it's been ripped out of my chest and burned. Fried. Cooked for the devils meal.
Perhaps if I called out for someone to kill me, they would. Perhaps. But I think, I think I'm beyond the point of talking.
"Kill me," I tried to say, "please."
I was shocked with what I heard next.
"I can't kill ya mate. I'll explain later, you're fine, you're good. You're going to live."
The way he said live did funny things to my tummy.
I shouldn't live. Not if I've just killed Bella. Bella, and our baby. They're gone because of me, gone.
"Bella..." I mumbled painfully, feeling a pain in my heart that wasn't from the crash.
As well as that, I also felt a dull burning in my throat. Of all the things to happen, I should be thirsty... Isn't that great. I thought lamely.
"Bella... She must be the girl." the man with the gruff voice said mostly to himself. "uh.. Mate listen, Bella is going to be fine... She's alive... Well, her hearts beating. But I have to explain some other things first."
That's when it happened. My heart took off. It flooded my ears like a helicopter does on a quiet summers evening, like the sound of a gunshot. Deafening.
Then just as I noticed it beginning, my heart gave a final gallop, and stopped. I'm dead.
"Ah it's over" the man whose name I still didn't know said. His voice sounded different. More clear. Suddenly I realised I could hear a lake, someone singing far away, and Bella's heart beating faintly. Why isn't mine beating? What's 'over'?
"Mate, I was the guy you hit. Can you tell me your name? I uhh have to tell you something..."
"Edward" I said, my hands flying up to my throat, argh. The burning... I need a drink, I tried to think where I heard the lake, maybe I could ask this guy to carry me there. But surprisingly, it didn't sound appealing.
"Edward, you're alive. Bella is too. You're going to live forever… "
What?
My eyes flew open. What surrounded me dazzled me. Have I never seen the world before?
The trees were all sorts of shades of greens, greens I've never seen before. The sky was a sallow grey colour; I could practically see the rain about to burst through the clouds.
My eyes made their way down from the sky and landed on my beauty.
My poor broken Bella...
Her blood was a rich red, speckled with a colour I've never seen before. What's going on?
As if answering my thought, the nameless person said;
"Edward, you're a vampire."
What?
Maybe this crash has made me go insane…
A/N: What do you think of the twist of Bella and Edward becoming vampires? Do you think Bella and Edward's baby will survive?
Also, who do you think changed them?
