Rational Thought
Once I reached the airport, the scent of the many red-blooded humans swirled around me; then their thoughts. A sixteen year-old girl with bleached hair staggered past me with her bright pink suitcase, her grey eyes sized-up my physique and summed it up with: what a hunk. Of course I grimaced and stared hard at the back of her head after she had stumbled a few feet away. How I despise the very unimaginative thoughts of an adolescent human, clogged up with tv shows and pop culture, not to mention the filthy goings on at home. By the time the young girl was through the airport reception doors, it struck me that maybe Bella wasn't dead? Alice's visions had been inaccurate before, hadn't they. I decided to go to the closest pay phone and phone the Swan residence. I inserted the few cents the machine required and dialled, it answered after just a few rings, the voice on the recieving end was that of a boy's sounding exasperated. It disturbed me that someone I didn't know was there, what could they mean to Bella?
"Swan residence" he said.
"Is Charlie available?" I hoped I seemed relatively calm, as a result of that my voice deepened.
"He's not here" the boy replied, I heard heavy breathing, as though someone had been running. Annoyed by his answer, I pressed for more information.
"Where is Charlie?" I asked.
"At the funeral" I quickly hung up. Bella's funeral. My stomach dropped to the floor once again and I felt my lips turn down. I had let myself begin to hope, I groaned internally at my own stupidity. My heart was gone - again. Destroyed completely now, I stood up and looked up at the board for the next flight to Florence. It was in the next half hour and they were already boarding. I made my way to the correct terminal and left behind everything that I had ever loved. I would go to Volterra and ask for the Volturi to kill me. It was definite. After all, I had never planned to outlive Bella by far, there was no point in forever without her.
A/N: I thought this would be an interesting point. :) It just struck me that perhaps I could write up the rest of New Moon, in Edward's POV? Anyone interested? PLEASE REVIEW!
