"D-dead?" I stuttered, not believing what I had just heard. He couldn't be dead. There was no way. That was impossible. He was indestructible…

"Yes, Bella. I'm so sorry," she told me and I shook my head, fighting tears. Seth's arms wrapped around me from behind but I was stunned.

"How?" I squeaked out, my voice failing for the most part. "Not the Volturi… please, not the Volturi!"

"No, not the Volturi. But he burned down the house in Forks while he was still inside on purpose. He left you a note," Alice explained and I shook my head faster. She pressed paper into my palm and I slowly uncrumpled it.

Bella,

Over these past seven years, I have always loved you. I always will, hopefully. I'm sorry I did not even stop by to tell you myself but I knew you would try to convince otherwise and you don't know how persuading you can be. You do mean a lot to me and I hope you will be happy for the rest of your days, even if that means living forever. I've searched far and wide for someone else but no one is as special as you.

Tell Alice that I love her and that I am sorry. Ask her how hard it would be to live without Jasper. Tell Jasper and Emmett no one could ask for better brothers. Tell Rosalie that she is beautiful no matter what. You know how angry she got at you for catching my eye. Did I tell you that? I'm not sure. I can't remember. Tell Esme and Carlisle that they were great parents. I'm sure there are other kids who need their help. The ones in orphanages who need to get out. Tell Seth that he better take perfect care of you no matter what.

I remember when you told me you married Seth. I asked if you were happy. You said you thought that you were and that's all that mattered to me. Though, you never told me you were imprints. I found that out from Jacob's thoughts as he passed by the house today. Obviously, he didn't think anyone was here. Too bad I was crisping inside.

And finally, I have one last thing to say to the person I hate the most: Jacob Black. I've always hated him but I pity him. I saw his thoughts of you and Seth as he passed and I couldn't help but hurt from his pain. Especially with the replay of Sam's words about not being able to break the imprint. Though, Jacob found a way out of it. Good job, Jacob.

One last thing to my beloved Bella.

Will you take it?

Edward

"Bella?" Alice asked as I read the letter over and over again. Would I take it?

"I-I need to talk to Jacob," I mumbled, standing up and knocking the chair into Seth's legs. Alice looked up at me, worried.

"Bella, what did it say? I couldn't see it in my vision and I didn't want to invade your privacy," Alice mentioned and I nodded, handing her the note before heading to the front door. Seth grabbed my wrist.

"Is this your choice?" Seth asked, pain running across his face. I shook my head, yanking away as I pulled open the door.

"I need to see Jacob, first," I stated and Seth nodded slowly and I stormed out of the house. I noticed two dark figures dart into the forest and I transformed wolf. I knew it was Alice and Emmett leaving. Emmett had barely even spoken.

Jacob: B-Bella? Is that you?

I smiled; glad I didn't have to go searching for him. I looked around the forest, wondering where he was. All I saw through his head were tree.

Jacob: I'll come to you.

In a matter of moments, Jacob was standing next to me and I stood frozen to the spot I stood.

Bella: Can we talk away from here? The kids don't know about werewolves, you know?

Jacob: Yea, sure. Follow me.

I did as I was told, trying to out run him but I wasn't too fast compared to him anymore. He slid to a stop and I did the same. We were looking out over the water; standing at the spot I had gone cliff diving. There was a sliver of moon out.

Jacob: Is this far enough away?

I nodded and then took in his full appearance. He was beautiful. Then again, I had always thought that.

Jacob: Thanks.

Bella: J-jacob…

I felt tears hit my wolf eyes and I turned, heading into the forest and quickly pulling on clothes. When I came back, he was there in human form as well. A tear slipped down my cheek and Jacob quickly closed the gap between us to wipe my tear. I threw my arms around his neck, yanking him close to me.

"Bella… Bella…" he murmured. I took in his musky, woodsy scent and I loved it.

"E-Edward's dead," I told him and he pulled away slightly.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry," he repeated several times. I shook my head, laying my hands on his chest.

"He said to tell you good job… for finding a way," I recited and Jacob's arms tightened around my waist. I laid my head on his chest and listened to the heartbeat. It was strong. I pulled back to look up at his eyes again and I noticed the pain and sorrow in his eyes. It pained me to see him hurt.

"Bella… Bells…" he breathed out and I felt tears escape my eyes again. "I did find a way, you know. It works. That's how I know."

"I know," I answered and he sighed, pushing our lips slightly together and making my whole body tingle and shiver. He smiled, pulling away.

"Will you take it, though?"
