A/N: I am so sorry for pulling a disappearing act for so long. I kind of hit a road block and then I had an unexpected turn of events in my life that has occupied a majorly large part of my time. I will do my best to keep writing and updating. I think I've been hit with my inspiration again.
Disclaimer: I own nothing except the plot.
Chapter 5: A Tentative Plan
She's going to get what she wants. One way. Or another.
Hours later, after Jacob and I had parted with a reluctant agreement to remain in contact about the Bella situation, I paced the ground floor of the house. How was I going to help Bella? This woman was fucking suicidal. Not distressed or heartbroken, she actually wanted to die. She was trying to die.
How do you convince someone that life is worth living? That sounds stupid coming from an undead vampire. I didn't even know if she would want to see me. Would my presence just make everything worse or would it make it better? There were too many what ifs I had no way of knowing how this would pan out.
As if on cue, my phone ran shrilly. I rolled my eyes in irritation as I flipped it open. "What?" I growled.
"Her future is sketchy. She's either dead or deliriously happy. I think the best thing to do would be for you to start by just talking to her. Don't fly in there like Superman to save the day. Slowly incorporate yourself back into her life. And then once she's used to it and trusts you then you can try to help her. But not until then. That could create some disastrous effects," my bitch of an e-wife spit out all at once.
'Fuck off, Alice. This is none of your concern anymore. You left, remember?" I snarled. I was sick of her meddling into things that she shouldn't.
"You left too!" she protested. "Yeah, I did. So I wouldn't fucking kill her!" I spat, "Look just stay the fuck away. Don't look for my future and don't look for hers. I'll take care of this, of her."
I crushed the phone in my hand and hurled the pieces at the wall, fuming. That little bitch. I hated her…
But she was right. I couldn't just swoop in and try to save her from herself like some sparkly-assed superhero. I had to get closer to her, find out if she would even let me near her. Honestly, at the moment I didn't have very high expectations. From what I could tell she had completely cut herself off from everyone.
I had to try. I didn't have a choice. And I couldn't wait. I couldn't give her another chance to try and end her life. The time was now.
I took off out the front door like a bat out of hell. I was going to see her now. I needed to get started now. I needed to save her from herself. Now.
