Thanks for all the reviews. I was thinking of creating this story from Edward's POV. What do you think? I don't own Twilight, New Moon, or Eclipse. This is two days after chapter 4.
Chapter 5: Return
I waited until 3:00 to go to the edge of the cliff. Once I got there, I looked down. Some how the water looked so much angrier last time I was here. I walked as far as I could, then I jumped. I seemed to slowly fall, until I smacked the water. The air in my lungs was pushed out. I was gasping for air, but I was ten feet below the surface. I swam towards the surface, but the current kept pulling me down. It reminded me of the last time I here.
"I'm going to die, and Edward will be so hurt. I hope the rest of his family will keep him from going to Italy." This was my last thought, before everything went black. I felt something smack hard into me. It was as cold as the water I was in. I was dragged up the beach, against the ruff stones. It made me uncomfortable. Then I heard something only dead people would here, an angel calling their name, wanting them to come to heaven.
"Bella, can you hear me? Please don't be dead. I can't live without you," he cried.
"Why would Bella jump off a cliff? And why would you leave her, Edward?" another voice asked. I recognized it to be Charlie. Why would Charlie be in heaven? I wondered.
"Something came up with the church that's holding the wedding. Carlisle and I needed to straighten it out." I felt cold hands pressing on to my face. My eyes fluttered open.
"Bella," Edward said relief saturating his voice.
"You came back!"
"Of course I did.
Didn't Alice tell you we had to straighten some things out?"
"Yeah.
Can we go home now?"
"Bella, I have to take you to the
hospital, just to make sure everything's okay," Charlie said.
"Dad, that's embarrassing and unnecessary. Can't Carlisle just check me over?"
"I'm sure he wouldn't mind. His shift is over," Edward added.
"Fine, Edward can
drive you to his house, but then you have to come right back home."
Edward picked be up, and cradled his arms around me. He kissed my
forehead and my hair. "You have no idea how you just tortured me.
When Alice had a vision of you jumping off a cliff, I panicked. It
looked like it would be in a couple of days, and hopefully you would
change your mind. She had the same one about a day later, but it
looked definite at that point. I almost had a heart attack."
"I'm
sorry. Once the rest of your family disappeared, I thought something
drastically happened. She said there was little chance of you not
coming back, but when they left, what was I supposed to think? I just
hopped jumping off a cliff would get you back."
"So you mean you wanted me to have a heart attack? The reason the rest of my family came was that Carlisle and I had a hard time of convincing the Voultri to let us have more time. I told them that we wanted to get married, but they were getting testy. I could tell that Jane and Felix were going to secretly follow us back. They would wait a few days, but then if you weren't changed, they would take you away."
Edward took one look at my horrified face. "Don't worry, they agreed to give us some more time."
