Alice's POV:
I'm already lonely, standing here between two graves. Side by side, Bella and Edward will rest here forever.
It's been a week since the funeral, and I visit this place every day. We've been trying to honor Bella's last request, taking care of her dad, but it won't be long before we'll have to move on.
We'll never forget Forks. It's rare a place feels like home, since we have to move so often, but the time we spent in this little town was the happiest we'd ever been. I don't know if we'll ever come back here though. It will be hard, even though many years will have passed. That's the downside to vampire memory – you never forget. Good or bad, the memories stay forever.
Esme won't sell the house. That brings me some measure of comfort, just knowing it will be here waiting. Because I will come back, if only to stand between these graves and remember.
I rest a hand on each stone and picture them both in my mind. Happy. Alive. Together.
A vision steals into my mind, nearly knocking me off my feet with its intensity.
Bella's lying on her back next to Edward, in their special place – the meadow. The sunlight covers them like a blanket, illuminating their happiness. Edward's skin glows tan, his green eyes sparkling in the rays. Bella looks healthy and happy again, her hand curled in his. She turns her head and meets my gaze. "You can let go now, Alice, I'm just fine."
Her smile assures me, as she sends her love towards me in tangible waves.
I staggered a little, holding onto the stone for support. When I recover, I smile up at the sky. Message received, little sister. I'm going to be okay, too.
I leave the cemetery and climb into my yellow Porsche. As I put the key in the ignition, I realize something.
It may take a decade, it may take a century, but one day my world will be whole again. And one day, I'll come back here to stand between two graves.
And I'll smile as I remember.
