Chapter 2
If I wasn't a vampire, I would have sworn I heard wrong. As it is, I was praying that it was some misunderstanding. Esme had become a mother to me and such a vital part of my life.
"I don't understand. Are you sure?" I whisper. Carlisle walked over to the living room and fell into a chair. His face was downcast.
"We were hunting and I noticed we had gone too far. We were on the edge of the treaty line and I had stopped her. She had this distant look in her eyes and she tore out of my grasp. Esme, Esme stepped onto La Push reservation and whispered that she was sorry but she just couldn't do this anymore. I was confused and before I could reach her, two werewolves came out of nowhere and attacked her. It was as if they expected her to be there." Carlisle finally broke down and started dry sobbing. I go over to hug and try and comfort him.
"I just don't understand. I thought she was happy. I would have done anything for her, she was my everything." By now everyone had huddled around Carlisle.
"I'm so sorry Carlisle. There was nothing you could have done, you gave Esme everything she could want that was a possibility. Esme had some inner demon that she hid from all of us. And…I'm going to shut up before I make you feel any more worse." I smile weakly.
"There were rare moments where I felt a deep sadness and depression from Esme but as soon as she noticed I felt it, she'd cover it up and say it was just one of those days. I believed her. I mean…I just thought it was normal for everyone to have down days. I'm sorry." Jasper whispered despairingly.
"I still can't believe it, everything already feels worse or emptier without her. Esme kept us anchored in a way I never realized before. It's just…." Edward broke off unable to finish. A sob escaped him and without further notice he took off upstairs. It was almost as if he was taking Esme's death harder than even Carlisle. Giving our attention back to Carlisle, he is overwhelmed.
"This is one tunnel that I just can't see to the end of. I think I just need some time alone." Carlisle moved to get up. Hugging him one more time I smile reassuringly at him.
"I know it seems impossible, but everything will be better. It may not be tomorrow or even next month, but we are all here for you Carlisle." Everyone nodded. Pushing my own feelings aside, I go upstairs to talk with Edward. I know it was hard losing my dad and if anyone, I could relate with Edward and help him the most.
((AN: Next chapter will be more detailed and hopefully better. Review please? Well that's if you want me to continue…I won't update unless I get 10 reviews.)
