A/N:

Chapter 225. Romeo, away, be gone!

Alice came running past the news crew, Laurent having released her as soon as James had fallen, and straight to Peter's side. "It's my fault," she sobbed over and over, her tears falling on the drop sheet covering his motionless body.

Edward made to go to her, but Jasper pulled him back as he heard the cacophony of sirens. "Edward, I think you should go before the police arrive," he said to his shaking brother.

"What? I can't leave now."

"Edward, I'm worried for you if you stay. Even though shooting James was self-defense, the police will take you in."
