APOV

I silently slipped into Bella's room. Edward was kneeling on the floor. For a moment, I was glad vampires die how they die. But then I realized it was Edward I was thinking about. He could get creative. Even though this girl hadn't won over his heart yet, Edward would surely kill himself soon. He would feel it his duty or something.

"Edward?" I whispered, getting down and kneeling next to him. "C'mon, we should go home."

He looked up at me, the look of crying on his face. "Alice, what have I done? WHAT THE HELL HAVE I DONE?!?" He had gotten up but stumbled over to where Bella laid. He gripped the railings on the bed, turning his knuckles whiter than usual. "If I hadn't gotten next to her sooner, I could have stopped that fucking car from killing her. If I hadn't seen this coming sooner, she would still be alive and I wouldn't have blame trailing behind me and over my head. If I had…" He gave an anguised cry. "WHY?!?"

I cautiously moved over to him, wrapping my arms around his shoulder's in a comforting way. "I know it doesn't hold much hope but, it's gonna be okay, Edward. No normal human could have saved her. You're lucky you did all that you did, saving wise."

He turned towards me. "Alice, you don't get it. I'm NOT a normal human, I'm a VAMPIRE. I'm not SUPPOSED to be normal. You don't have the blame of an innocent girl's death on your shoulders. So just…stop trying to help."

"Your right Edward. But, I'm here for you. I'm trying to understand, to help. I'm not going to let you go through this on your own.

"Alice."

"Hmm?" I looked up at him questioningly.

"Do you remember those first few years when you were blood crazy?"

"Kind of… Why? How does this remind you of that?"

"Well, it kind of does and doesn't."

"How so?" I prodded him.

"Well, I've killed an innocent person who didn't do a thing to me except start the fire of blood longing—that's that does part—but…this time it feels different. It doesn't feel like I've killed some girl I hardly know. It feels like I've killed…someone else. Someone I had loved and known well."

"Um…Edward?" How to tell him this without hurting him… "Um…Well, you know when I had that vision of Bella becoming one of us?" I looked at him expectantly, prolonging the news.

"Yes…What?"

"Well, um…do you know WHO turned her? Did you ever figure that out?"

"I always figured it was you; you were always going around telling us how good of friends you would be."

"I didn't do that THAT much."

"Yes you did."

"No, I didn't."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Ye—"

"Alice?"

"Yes?"

"Get to the point."

I sighed. "I don't want to tell you, really."

"Then why did you start it?"

"I didn't."

"ALICE!"

"Fine, fine." I stood there, looking at him.

"Well?"

I turned away. "She was your soul mate," I whisper-murmured. I didn't hear anything so I shut my eyes and slowly turned around.


Hi. I updated. I made a cliffie. I started the next chapter. I have school for less than two weeks. I'm going to a funeral this weekend. I'm taking my laptop. I'm going to do my best to write. I'm really cold. And most of all...Well, there isn't really one. I almost went a whole year without updating. Enjoy. Cherish it. I'll probably end up staying up late and typing, just for you. Enjoy, MonstaaMaggsHale. (And everyone else.) Sorry it took so long to update.
