Ending 2
Bella
Esme pulled me close to her. Her sobs racking her chest.
"Alice slipped away in the night."
Oh no, that would explain everything! I couldnt help but share her grief. I started to cry with her. After a short time she pulled away. Her make up running down her face.
"Edward took it very hard. He was hoping that she would recover some how. That we would find a cure someday."
"There is always hope." I say weakly.
"Yes dear, there is. It happened so fast, she passed away peacefully in her sleep. Edward has been locked away in her room ever since. They came to take her body this morning. Its just been so hard to accept."
I hugged her close to me and let her cry until she was done. I felt bad for her and for this family. I wished that things had been different. That this family could be whole again. When at last Esme was done crying she turned to me and said, "Go talk to him. See if maybe you can help him with his grief."
I hugged her once more and did as she asked. I walked up the stairs and stopped at the landing. Alice's pink door with the peeling flower stickers seemed to mock me. I wanted to go comfort Edward but i also was afraid. I was afraid that i would make things worse. That i wouldn't be able to handle his grief. I took a few deep breaths and opened the door.
I found Edward hunched over at the foot of Alice's now empty bed. His silent sobs were making his body heave. I walked closer to him and put my hand on his back. I let him cry in peace. I waited patiently for it to end. It took a long time before he spoke to me.
"Shes gone."
I knelt down beside him and comforted him the best i could. His breaths were coming out loud and uneven. It pained me to see him like this.
"She slipped away late last night. I never even got to say good bye." he said weakly. "I just hope she knows how much i loved her. And how sorry that i was for what i did."
"She knows Edward. She knows..."
It took some time before Edward pulled away from his grief. He loved his sister with all that he had. I was the only reason he pulled out of his depression once again. Side by side, me and Edward made it through. It has been a few years since then and we are doing fine. I go to college up in Tucson and Edward is going there too. We never forget the people we left behind. Every Christmas we revisit to see our families. We always make sure to make a stop at the town Cemetery. Edward likes to talk to Alice in the same way he used too.
I was the strength that held Edward up, he was the strength that held me up. Together we had it all, together we survived it all. He had shown me things about myself that would have forever been hidden. He had shown me the true beauty that i held inside. Every time i seen him smile, i knew that was where my heart was. I will always remember the boy who i met that one fall years ago. That boy who stole my heart in that same moment he stole a kiss.
