It wasn't until I had the tickets in my hands that I realized I was doing the wrong thing.
I was about to board the plane with Alice and Jasper behind me (Jasper would not let Alice come with me alone, but I told him he should not tell the rest of the family - I didn't want to throw the whole bunch of us on Bella). I suddenly stopped before the flight attendant.
I ignored her thoughts, which mostly revolved around the beautiful threesome before her, and slipped out of the line without a word.
"Edward?" Alice and Jasper followed me to the plastic seats that lined the airport.
"Edward, the plane's about to leave!"
"I shouldn't go," I whispered. "We shouldn't go."
Jasper and Alice exchanged looks.
"What do you mean?" Alice was eyeing the clock.
"I meant I told her I would let her have the life she deserved. It would be wrong to go back on my word. Bella deserves better than that."
"You're right Edward, she does," Alice agreed. "But right now better would be to interfere."
"How is that so?" I questioned. The last of the people were boarding, they were going to close the doors.
Alice gave me a sharp look and flashed her vision through her head.
...
It was a large room where loud music was playing. There were way too many lights that could possibly be necessary, and the shadows bounced across the walls.
There was a bar with some tacky looking stools; the bartender looked like he was about forty.
Two people were leaning over the counter. The first was a man. He was wearing a large sports jacket over a white T-shirt that was too small for him, and his hair was in disarray. His eyes looked groggy and tired, there were dark circles under his eyes, and his mouth was open in a lazy smile.
His partner looked just as bad, if not worse. Her hair was past her waist, tangled at the ends, her outfit was too revealing for her young body, for she wore a skin tight tank that dropped down almost as low as her hair. Her skirt reached her high thigh and she was leaning way too far over the counter....
She whispered something in the bartender's ear and he smiled, handing her a bottle of beer. She drank it down in two gulps and collapsed into a chair, giggling uncontrollably.
The man beside her leaned down to kiss her on the lips.
...
I gasped, my hand grasping onto the plastic chair arms.
"Edward," Alice looked at me, the pain was purely visible in her eyes. "You'll be doing more damage if you don't go."
Jasper nodded, his mouth was clamped shut, my emotions were becoming too much for him.
"That can't be Bella," I whispered. But of course it was.
I knew that face, even as out of it as she was. I knew those eyes, though they didn't shine the way I remembered.
Alice was right. Of course, Alice was right.
I couldn't let that happen to Bella. How had she let that happen to herself?
Jasper felt my change of heart and helped my up. Alice handed the flight attendant out tickets, who wished us a good flight with a little too much enthusiasm, and I followed her onto the plane.
Looking out the window as the plane began to climb. Alice's vision replayed in my mind.
What had Bella become? What was she doing to herself? She was drinking? She was underage, who was passing her these drinks? And what about Charlie? Hadn't he raised her better than that?
And why had she left Forks? What happened to make her leave?
I couldn't answer any of those questions and that brought me deeper into my depression.
Who was this Bella I was chasing after?

So, what happened to Bella?........
