(Bella's POV)

I stood in front of the stone slap, letting the tears slip down my face. Wind blew my hair all around in a blur of brown. I hugged my arms close to me and faced the ground.

"I miss you." I whispered into the wind.

R.I.P

Here lies Renee Dwyer,

A beloved mother, wife, and friend.

Today was the anniversary of the crash. Today was the anniversary of her death.

Crouching, I pulled my coat sleeve down over my hand and covered my mouth. Silencing my cries, the tears fell heavily.

"So many great things have been happening. In January, I'm going to start school at Juliard. They've even made it so where I can keep the club open. My dancing has really improved Mom. You should see me on stage. Everyone says I'm really good. I've met this great guy and his family loves me. Charlie even likes him. I really wish you could meet him." The tears came faster and soon I was fully out balling. I let myself fall to the ground and weep. Suddenly, from behind, I felt arms wrap around my waist and pulled me close to a warm body. Looking up, I saw Evan's familiar face. I waited until my crying was down to a sniffle to try to speak.

"What are you doing here?" I whispered.

"When I saw the date, I knew where you would be. I figured you could use some comforting." I nodded and leaned back against him.

"Thanks, I really could."

"Why don't we go get some ice cream then?"

"In this weather? I feel like I'm about to freeze."

"Then hot chocolate? We could go to your house and watch some movies."

"That sounds great." I smiled and started to get up.

"How did you get here?" He asked me.

"I walked. Why?"

"My cars at the exit. I'll go wait there while you say some more words." He helped me up.

"I think I've said all I could." I grabbed his hand when he started to pull away.

"Are you sure?" An unsure look passed over my face.

"Give me a second." He nodded and let go of my hand. I turned back to the grave and planted the fake red rose in the container. Bringing my fingers to my lips, I kissed them before placing them on the cold stone. I love you. I always will.

Then I took my fingers off the headstone and grabbed Evan's hand again. We walked until we got to his car. He paused outside the passenger door. Suddenly he brought me into a hug.

"It will be alright Bella. It'll get easier." I nodded. Then Evan lifted my chin and kissed me on the cheek.

"Evan." I groaned while blushing. I thought we had established this.

"I know Bella, but it's not like that. I still love you, but as a sister. In fact, I have a girlfriend." He grinned proudly.

"Really? Who?" I asked, curious.

"It's someone you know…" Evan dragged the word out, waiting for me to take the hint.

"I know a lot of people Evan. Why don't you just tell me?"

"Ok, ok. It's Jessica." I squealed and hugged him.

"Yay! This is perfect. My two best friends together. When did you guys start going out?"

"About a week after I came back from Forks."

"That's great, I'm glad you guys are happy. I just wish you could have told me before hand." I shook my head and hugged him once more. Evan smiled and open the door for me to get in.

Ok, I know it's a really short chapter and the next one probably will be too. I had planned for this one to be a bit longer but I think I got everything in it that I wanted to explain. Basically, evan's over her and on to Jessica. I figured I'd clear that up a little bit since this is the last of the series. Please Review!
