APOV
Driving on the open road.
Music coming from the radio.
Tapping on the wheel.
Deer running out into the road.
Tyres screeching.
Deer running towards car.
Car swerves, hits tree.
Blood, broken bones, pain.
Bella, tears, wearing black.
I kept getting these flashes of something, but I didn't know what. I wasn't even sure if they were all connected, but they always came in that order. I didn't know what they meant, but I knew Bella needed me.
Bella was more important than me. If she needed me, I had to be there for her. I had to find her.
I doubted she still lived in Forks. She couldn't handle that much heartbreak and want to live in the same place. She was only human after all.
Human...
If I wanted to be any use to Bella, I had to feed.
For the first time in a long time, I took in my surroundings. I had no idea where I was.
"Bella," I moaned.
Emmett was at my side at once. He looked worried and happy. I laughed. It was small, but it felt good. I looked up at him and he took that as his cue to pick me up and embrace me.
I felt so safe in his arms. I clung to him as if my life depended on it...
Maybe it did. Maybe Rosalie, Emmett, Esme and Carlisle were my last hope at life.
I felt Rosalie's arms around Emmett and I. Everything was going to be right again. But first I had to find Bella.
