As you flick through the pictures in an album, they tell a story. In Bella's album, it's the same, though there are very few pictures.

The album lies discarded at the bottom of her wardrobe, underneath everything else that she doesn't want to remember. There are only two pictures. One is of a young Charlie and Renee, and the other is of baby Bella.

There is one caption though, on the first page. The little metal corners do not hold a picture, but that one line of script gives the impression that they might once have.

Edward Cullen, Charlie's kitchen, Sept. 13th.

To an outside observer, it might appear as if Bella Swan hated this person, for the picture is missing, and the caption has been scribbled over hundreds of times. To someone who knows, the empty page tells of heartbreak and loss and pain.

It's strange to think, then, that the picture in question lies only a few inches from the album in which it once sat.
