Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or anything about it

A/N: So, I forgot to put a disclaimer in the first chapter and thought I should apologize for that. So yeah, as a result, I am uploading chapter 2 today as well. Enjoy

APOV

I drove to Charlie's house. I didn't think Edward was up to the challenge. His mind was just too far gone. Not that I wasn't terribly upset about Bella's death, because I was, but I was just able to hold myself together. And, I knew I had to stay strong, for Charlie's sake. He would need at least one strong person in the house.

I would probably have to cook for Charlie. I knew how far his cooking abilities ranged. We probably wouldn't have to prepare anything for Edward. He was, as I said before, almost totally unresponsive to everything. He would be eating nothing. He probably wouldn't even talk the whole time we were there. I felt really bad for him. After all those years of being alone, he had finally found the person he wanted to be with for the rest of his life, and that person had just been brutally taken away from him.

Finally I pulled up in Charlie's driveway. The drive seemed a lot longer than it really was.
"Edward?" he didn't reply. "Edward!" I shook him slightly to break him out of his trance and he looked at me. "We're here. Come on. Let's go inside." He nodded slightly and started to walk toward the house. I grabbed his bag and mine and walked up to the door. I knocked while Edward zoned out again. Charlie answered the door and let us in. I guided Edward inside and sat him down on the couch.
"He doesn't look so good." Charlie remarked. I shook my head.

"Carlisle tried to talk to him. It's like he doesn't want the help and the talks."
"I don't blame him. Oh well, let's just leave him to his thoughts shall we? I don't think he'll be eating tonight."
"I don't think so either."
"What about you, are you hungry? I can't make much. But, I have lunch meats for sandwiches in the fridge and I have some fish fry."
"Sure Charlie. Whatever you want to eat, I'll have some of, as well."
"All right. Thanks for coming over, Alice. It really does mean a lot to me."
"It's not a problem, Charlie."
"Did your dad call Renee, by some chance?"
"I think Carlisle did say something about it."
"Okay."

Neither Charlie nor Edward spoke for the rest of the day, though Charlie and I did sit and watch a baseball game together. Charlie downed a few beers. I had one just for the sake of having one. Charlie offered one to Edward, but, Edward hadn't moved a muscle since I had sat him down on the couch where he was now. I shook my head as I exchanged a look with Charlie. Charlie finally announced that he was going to bed. Neither Edward nor I stopped him.
"Alice, if you want, you or Edward are more than welcome to sleep in her bedroom. If you don't want to sleep on the couch or on the recliner."
"Thank you Charlie. But, I think we're okay down here."
"All right, Alice. But, if you change your mind, it's there."
"Okay. Good night, Charlie. We'll be here in the morning when you wake up."
"Good night, Alice. Edward." Edward did not respond. He was still staring off into space. I stayed by Edward's side. As soon as Charlie closed his bedroom door, Edward broke down into his sobs again. I felt so bad for him. I didn't know what I could do to help. I just put my arms around him and hugged him to me. He put his face in my shoulder, as if he were ashamed of his reaction.

I fell asleep sometime later that night, but I don't think Edward slept at all. I didn't think so, because I didn't hear his typical snores at all that night. The ones that usually woke me from my sleep whenever I was in the same room as him sleeping for any period of time.
