Esme's POV
I couldn't believe what Bella was suffering through. She was in so much emotional pain that it was literally causing physical pain. I'd never seen something so heartbreaking in my existence. And as I gazed upon this pain's devastation I almost cried out from the sight of it.
My daughter, because that's what she is, tried to take her life. It reminded me of my attempt to end my life. I knew the pain that would lead to measures this drastic, but this seemed different. She seemed like she had already died. The part of her that everyone loved was gone. Edward had stolen it from her when he left.
I just hoped that Alice and Jasper would find Edward and make him see reason. If they didn't I don't think Bella would ever survive. Even now I can see the pain rippling through her body and the look of desperation in her eyes. The look that told me that Bella was contemplating her situation and if I wasn't careful she might not make it out alive.
Bella's POV
I can't take this. It's too much. The pain is tearing me apart. It's burning me from the inside out. I can't breathe. I just want to die. Why don't they understand? Can't they see what it's doing to me?
I can't just lie here anymore. I have to find some way to end this pain. I have to stop it. I'm in a hospital too. There has to be a million different options. I only need to find one.
Alice's POV
I was suddenly struck with visions of Bella taking her life. I tried to head them off before Edward noticed, but I was too late. I heard Edward cry out, but he stayed on his feet. Jasper stumbled as Edward's emotions bombarded him, but he kept going.
I pulled out my cell and dialed Carlisle's number. When he finally answered I tried my best to warn him of Bella's actions.
"Carlisle, I don't care what you have to do. Strap her down, put her in an isolated room, whatever, just make sure she isn't able to be by herself."
Carlisle heeded my warning and I could see Bella sitting in a room by herself. It almost looked like a room you would see in a psychiatric hospital. She looked like she was in the same condition, but at least she wouldn't be able to try anything again.
Sorry about the POV changes. Hope I didn't make you dizzy, lol. Please review.
