Time no longer held meaning to me. Everything blurred together. When I was aware of time passing, I longed for those blissful times when I would black out.

I tried to stop, but with sobriety came feeling and I just couldn't handle it. In one of my sober moments, I ran across one of Bella's scarves. A faint trace of her scent lingered and I raged. I ripped apart my room and then took solace in my den. There I stayed; there I sunk deep into myself and the bottles that littered the room around me.

Each second that passed I was fighting with myself.

Did I go back to Bella and grovel for her forgiveness?

Did I stay away so I didn't have to bury another person I cared for?

Over and over those choices ran through my head, mocking me.

Tears flowed when I was conscious enough to feel pain and I cursed myself for being so weak.

At one point I'm aware enough to know that someone is in the house, but I cann't drag up the energy to give a fuck.

I hear a gasp from the doorway and when I look up through my blurry eyes, I see Maggie looking at me in shock.

"Edward!" I hear the sadness and the pity and it's too much for me to bear.

"Get out, now!" I roar at her.

I can't take it, I don't deserve her pity.

"Edward, what's wrong?" She takes a step towards me and I react.

My hands wrap around one of the empty bottles and I throw it against the wall behind her. She flinches and cowers.

"Get the fuck out," I hiss at her.

She turns and runs.

Blindly I reach for the half full bottle of vodka and down the entire thing. Moments later I feel the blackness seeping around me and I gracefully allow it to claim me.

I don't know how much time had passed when I feel a sting to my face.

Muffled, I hear something. More stings come to face and I slowly blink my eyes open.

"Emmett?"

A/N: Ohh snap.. big brother coming... whats he gonna do?
