CHAPTER 5
I couldn't kill any of them. It ripped my heart out watching Bella die.
Everyone was shouting at me.
I tuned into my parents voices.
"Rose, please listen to us. We love you but we've had our lives. Everyone here is younger than us and has a longer life in front of us. Please. Whatever you choose you must know we love you and always will"
Her voice broke on the last word and her and Carlisle were holding hands. Waiting for the impact of the bullet shooting through their hearts.
It didn't stop on them.
It stopped on my childhood friend Jacob Black.
This was going to hurt more than Bella. I've known him for my whole life.
"I'm sorry Jacob. I'm sorry. Sorry."
The gun clicked twice and I looked him in the eyes for the last time.
His eyes filled with tears then shut for the last time.
They weren't going to stop.
It kept going.
It stopped on Alice.
I put my hand in the box.
She was like a sister to me. I've known her for as long as I can remember. I couldn't sit here and watch her die.
A spike shot through my hand and I screamed in pain.
I managed to send a weak smile to her.
All I heard was "Thank you rose, thanks so much"
A shot a guilt ran through my heart.
I could only save one more person. I had my friend.
My Brother.
My Parents.
And my boyfriend.
I couldn't live with myself if I killed any of them.
My parents told me to kill them. But I couldn't.
I couldn't kill any of them. I wish I could jump in front of the gun to save them. I couldn't go on.
The carousel was slowing down again and this time it stopped in front of Esme.
