Sorry my last chapter was kind of random….I cannot help that I am easily amused by fire….and explosions and giant lakes that cross into Canada. I am truly sorry for my mental illness….on with the chappy! I am going to be co-writing (I think) a very funny fan fiction with my friend who you all know as 'Alice' titled 'Bella and Alice go camping' more of that to come.

Chapter 10

Carlisle's POV

The drive back to Forks wasn't long at all. We got there more quickly this time because we drove a lot faster. The kids decided to stay behind and travel with Bella and Edward the rest of the way to Pennsylvania. What Esme and I were about to do was very hard. It was going to be hard on us I couldn't believe that we just might ruin the lives of two people. I was torn between my son and the compassion I felt for two parents who lost a child. Esme knew well the pain of loosing a child, but it had lead her to me, so I was grateful, although, that was very selfish of me.

When I pulled into the driveway of the Swan home, I braced myself for what I was going to do. I got out of the car and opened the door for Esme. I took her by the hand. She knew that this was hard for me, but it was just as hard for her. She squeezed my hand and looked into my eyes but didn't say anything. She took a step forward and we were marching up the steps.

We rang the doorbell, and Charlie answered the door, I could hear the television on in the background, and there was some sort of game on, but I had no idea.

"Doctor Cullen? What a surprise. What can I do for you?"

"Chief Swan-"

"Please, call me Charlie."

"Alright then, Charlie, I'm afraid I have some bad news, can we come in?"

"Er…Sure."

"Charlie, I think you might want to sit down for this."

He complied with my demands and took a seat at the kitchen table.

"Charlie, Bella and Edward," I began. "They were in a car accident, they didn't make it."

A play of emotions were written across his face. First shock, and disgust, then sadness, despair and now he was distraught. He was on the verge of crying.

"My baby is…" he trailed off. "I guess I should go claim her body, then" He sobbed.

"Charlie they're bodies were engulfed in flames, it was due to a drunk driver."

"Oh." Was all he could get out. He was sobbing now. I couldn't have felt worse.

"Charlie, should we tell Renee or do you want to do it?"

"I will do it, but thank you for the offer."

"Your welcome Charlie, and about the funeral, we'll stick around until the burial, but our family is going to be moving away, the memories that fill this town, we just won't be able to bare it."

"I understand. When will the service be?"

"August 28th"

"We'll burry them at Forks Cemetery, is that okay?"

"Yes." His voice was weak, barely auditable to the human ear.

"I guess we'll be going then, we're very sorry."

"And I to you" He said.

With that, we were on our way back to Lake Michigan to round up the others.

Charlie's POV

After Doctor Cullen was gone, I cried, for a long time. I couldn't bare it. I wanted my baby back, my sunshine. I missed her. After my depression had subsided, I had to call Renee.

"Hello?"

"Renee, it's Charlie, I had some bad news" My voice cracked.

"What is it Charlie?"

"Bella-"

"What happened to her, did she fall down again?"

"No, she's dead."

There was a long pause, silence, utter silence.

"Charlie!" She screamed. "How dare you play a sick trick on me like that!"

"Renee! I'm not tricking you, that's a horrible joke! She and Edward were in a car accident!"

"NO! She can't be dead! After all those mean things I said?! NO! She's not dead!"

I sank to the floor and began to sob. I heard the phone went dead and I went to my room and lied on the bed, drowning in my sorrow. I now knew what it was like when Edward has left Bella. No other pain could describe it, you just didn't want to live anymore. Everything that was important, isn't. Everything you loved, you don't. A sinking feeling began in the pit of my stomach, I drifted to sleep praying that this was a nightmare.

Renee's POV

I had just gotten the worst news of my life. Bella, my only daughter, was gone. I had been such a bitch to her. My daughter was just staring a new life, with her husband and now they were both dead, worse yet, my grandchild was gone too. I heard a loud noise and I realized it was me. I was screaming, loudly. I kept repeating "NO! NO! NO! She can't be dead, she's not dead." Phil was comforting me. I had guessed he'd already known what had happened. I sulked to my room to have cry and cry and cry some more.

Esme's POV

Poor Charlie and Renee. They were so heartbroken. It reminded me of when I lost my son. I just hoped they didn't do anything that drastic though, but Alice hadn't said anything so I was pretty sure that they'd be okay. The drive took longer this time, traffic. Just because we can drive fast, doesn't mean humans do. When we finally reach the little hotel near Lake Michigan, where everyone was checked in, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie were already in the parking lot, ready to drive back to Forks. We left the Audi there for Edward and Bella, to take to Pennsylvania.

Edward was standing with his arm around Bella. I was so happy she was finally going be apart of our family. Edward was so happy. Happier than any of us had seen in a long time. I loved Bella as my own daughter, and she was the final piece to our family. She wanted this just as much as we did, but we knew it was going to be hard for her.

"So you told Charlie?" Bella asked.

"Yes, we did honey."

"How did he take it?"

"He was a mess."

"This is my fault, I shouldn't be doing this…"

"Bella," Carlisle's voice spoke calmly. "We know this is hard, but this cannot be both way, this unfortunately, had only one outcome, since you wanted you choose our family, this is the only way to make a clean break. I wish there was a way for you to not have to choose, but this is the way it has to be." Bella's face was expressionless, hurt, somehow, in a twist of emotions, placed across her face, like she was remembering something, but she can back soon.

"Yes, I know, I just…ugh…I don't want to see them hurt." Bella said.

"We know dear, they'll forgive you, somehow, even if they don't know what happened."

I kissed Bella swiftly on the cheek, and hugged Edward.

Edward, we'll be in Pennsylvania in about a week, take care of Bella.

"I always do." He smiled.

I turned an ran towards the car.
