RECAP OF WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME!
"What?"
I mumbled confused.
"Let me tell you?" He said caressing
my cheek, and I shrunk back. He let
out a frustrated sigh and
began his story.

Flashback
"I think you should go back Edward, just to get some
closure. But be sure
to stay away from her, we don't need her
being driven crazy." Alice said.
"I know Alice." I whispered.
I was out of the house in a moment, running faster
than I ever had, I was
going to see her, after five years, and I
was going to see my Bella again.
I reached the outside of Forks,
and sniffed the air. I was always able to
smell her in this town,
but I wasn't getting anything. Worried I ran, down
to her house
hoping to find her there. But I didn't all I found was a
solemn
Charlie and Billy Black sitting in silence watching a game.
"What
in the??" Then it dawned on me that she may have moved out, left
the
city, it had been five years, perhaps she was in college, and
happy.
"Five years Billy." Charlie whispered. "Five
years since I lost my Bella."
He was crying.
"It's
alright Charlie. It's alright." Billy's knowing eyes were
sweeping
the room, no doubt the werewolf in him had snooped me
out.
But what did he mean 'since he lost her?'
"Charlie,
she's in a better place now." Billy said gritting his
teeth.
"She was too good for this earth, Bella always
was...too good to ever be
brought into this disgusting world."
Charlie sobbed.
Oh god, please no.
"Charlie, you'll be
together again, soon. When she can meet you in
heaven." Billy
said.
"I know." Charlie said.
I didn't listen to
anymore, I ran back up into the forest, far away before
I let out
a throat stinging roar. She was gone. My Bella.
"NO!" I
screamed to no one. "NO! No! No." I was dry sobbing, broken
on the
ground. This was my entire fault.
"No, my Bella.
No."

"I'm
sorry, but Edward none of that would have happened if you
never
left." I said.
"No, it's all Damon's fault. He
should have left you alone. You'd have
never?" He looked
away.
"Edward. I don't want to hurt you, but I don't know
what else to say. I
love Damon. So, so much, Edward." My back
to him.
"You used to love me." He said hoarsely.
"And
I used to love eating food once too, Edward." I said tired of
this
conversation.
"Bella, please-"
"Riley."
I said shortly. "My name is Riley. And I have to get home."
I
said. I turned back to look at him one last time before I took
off. Back
towards my home.
I rushed through the forest, faster
than Edward even, until I was on the
front porch of my
house.
"Damon!" I screeched.
"Riley!" I
heard him call from inside the house, funny why he wasn't out
here,
and I just got back.
"Damon, what the hell?" I yelled
darting in the house. Then I saw what had
stopped him from
chasing. Emmett and Jasper were holding him to the ground.
Aiden
was held by Carlisle and Alice. Esme and Rosalie were taking care
of
the weaker one, Sam.
"Riley!" They all shouted
upon seeing me.
"Emmett! Jasper! You let him go right now!"
I screamed. They seemed to
share a glance with Carlisle before
releasing him. He slumped to the ground
almost instantly, all of
a sudden I felt a wave of anger wash over me, and
then I was on
Emmett. Punching, scratching, hitting, I even tried to bite
him,
but that didn't really work.
"Rie! Rie! Calm down, we're
okay!" Aiden said, him and Damon prying me off
Emmett
shocked body. Once I was in Damon's arms I stayed there, grabbing
his
shirt in my hands, and just cried.
"Shh, Rie, I'm okay,
we're okay." He cooed in my ear. I knew that, I knew
he was
okay, I made sure of that. I, on the other hand, was being ripped in
two. I couldn't have my families fighting over me. It was just
all too
much.
"Damon. Damon-" I choked.
"Shh,
just breathe Rie, breath." He said.
"I'm leaving."
I said tears streaming down my face. The Cullen's seemed to
perk
up a little. "Not with you." I glared at them.
"Rie,
I don't understand. You just got back, please don't leave
me-us
again." He pleaded.
I pulled him into a hug real
quick.
"I love you." I whispered in his ear. "Only
you, forever." My voice broke
again, making it louder, it
didn't matter that they could hear me, and I
didn't
care.
"Wait...Bella...where's Edward?" Alice asked,
shifting uncomfortably.
"In the forest somewhere, probably
crying." I said. Sam stifled a laugh
and I glared at
him.
"I'm sorry Esme, Carlisle; I can no longer be a part of
your family. It
would be best if you just forgot about me
entirely. Sam, Aiden, Damon." I
looked at them all for a
second my eyes lingering on Damon's brown hair.
"I'll see you
soon." I said.
"What do you mean forget about you? Even
when we thought you were dead we
all thought about you, every
second...it tore Edward apart. We never wanted
to see that look
in his eyes, but for the last 60 years...it was there.
Bel-Riley,
he loves you. So, so very much." Alice begged.
"So, you
think just because he loves me, that I should just be okay with
it?
That I should just jump back into his arms? I don't think
so."
"Bella, but...you love Edward." Alice
chirped.
"No Alice, I don't. I love Damon. With all of my
undead heart, I love
him." I said.
This had to end for me.
I knew what I was going to do, I had made the
choice. Volturi, you
better have a nice fire ready for me. I'm ready to die.
"BELLA
NO!" Alice screamed and threw herself on me, as Edward walked in
the
door. At first his face was confused, and then it was sad,
then pissed.
"Alice what is going on?" Carlisle
asked.
"B-Bella, she...she wants to go to the Volturi, she
already made the choice,
th-they are going to kill her unless she
changes her mind." Alice was
crying tearlessly over me as she
said this.
I struggled against her grasp before finally giving
up. She wasn't going
to let me up.
"Damon?" I
said.
"Yeah...R-Riley." He replied taking a step
closer.
"Please, can you...uh help me up?" I asked
calmly. Now, Damon wasn't
stronger than Emmett, but Alice I knew
he could handle. "Please." I said.
"Of course."
He said and took a step closer.
Alice's' head shot up to glare at
him. "If you value her at all, you will
not let her get up."
Alice said.
"Rie, what is she talking about?" Damon
asked.
"She's going to kill herself!" Alice cried. "My
little sister...I saw
her...gone." She was sobbing
again.
"Riley...is that true?" He turned his eyes to
me. I couldn't look I had to
fix my gaze on something else in the
room. Funny that something else turned
out to be Edward.
"Bella,
please. Don't do this." Edward said. "Please, we can
help
you...we...we all love you...so much." Edward was
practically sobbing.
"None of you cared; the only ones who
cared are the ones that saved me,
the ones that loved me enough
to give me what I wanted." I began thrashing
against her
hold.
"GET OFF OF ME!" I screeched.
"Rie, if
you can look me in the eyes, and tell me that what she is
saying
isn't true, I'll help you Rie. I never want to lose you.
And if letting you
go with them is the only way that I'll be able
to be with you again?" Damon
lowered his eyes to the
ground.
"DAMON! PLEASE, IF YOU LOVE ME YOU'LL HELP ME! Alice
let me go! Let me
go!" I said, I was using every bit of my
strength and I could see Alice
starting to falter.
"Emmett!"
Alice cried. And instantly I was being held down with more force
than I had ever experienced. Things started going hazy...I wasn't
sure why.
It was just getting blacker.
"Damon?" I
said into the blackness.
"Riley!" I heard him scream,
as the pressure was lifted off me, but the
darkness never let
up.
"Damon...I...I...love you...Damon." Then I was
gone.
