I didn't have time to stop it, but it was like a movie projector was shoved in front of my eye and time was slowed down, like in the movies. Edward frozen, the car swerving into the other lane. The double white lines of the road closed in around us as we crossed paths with the approaching cars. My gaze slowly moved from Edward's to the green truck that was barreling towards us. I could see the horror stricken faces of the passengers and driver, but my mind was unable to make a clear image of who they were. They were just darkened figures, their faces stricken with a kind of horror that could only truly come in the moment you know that you might die. I couldn't tell if I looked the same way or worse, but I didn't have time to find out as slowly the front ends of the car met.
I could hear the scraping and grinding of the metal hitting one another, as pieces from both cars flew in the air, glass shattering like a hurricane wind around us. I felt for a brief second the pain of the glass gliding delicately and quickly against my skin, the smell of blood, I wasn't sure if it were mine or the others, hit my nose. Then briefly, as fast as it came, the pain dulled, my mind on over drive as Edward's car swerved to a hard right, back into the lane we were in, hitting the guard rail, and crashing into its side.
This time the glass and metal other pieces of the car hitting me, didn't cause any pain. I was completely numbed, but almost in a semi conscious reasoning completely aware of what was going on. I faintly looked down, ignoring the dull ache in my neck and back to stare at the metal piece, part of the guard rail that had broken off in impact, come through the car door, on my side, and now was protruding directly in the middle of my abdomen.
There was so much red, so much shiny glass coated, soaked with my blood. It hadn't even occurred to me this whole time, that I was going to die, that there was no way I was going to live through this. No way…not going to happen.. My mind began to get fuzzy, little black dots popping around the outside of my vision. Oh god, it was happening. My mind ached, wondering if the others in the other car were alright, even alive. Charlie and my mom. I wondered what they were going to do after the found out that their only child was dead. That I was never going to come back.
Or the Cullen's, or Jacob…my class mates. My mind hazily swirled around these questions and images, like a movie of my life was playing before my eyes, until they came on Edward. I knew he was going to be alright…maybe…hopefully, but I wondered what he was going to do, how he was going to respond to my death. Even now as I was dying, I found it ironic how much I was worrying about others, rather than myself, but even as much as that were true, I am selfish. I have always been selfish thinking I could accuracy do that things that I have and be able to live with it.
But my selfish part, screamed somewhere in the back of my mind, growing louder with each second, begging and pleading like a child wanting attention. It wanted, I wanted more time. Why did it have to be so hard to love? Did God really not want Edward and I together and found that the only way for that to happen was to grasp me by the hand and drag me out of existence. Why couldn't I just have a little more time to tell everyone how much I loved them. To tell Charlie how wonderful he had been to me, how great of a father he was, despite what he may or may not think. To tell my mom to be brave and that I was so proud to be able to call her mom and have a mother like her. To tell both my parents not to worry to much, that they did alright, that I turned out alright and let them know how much they mean to me, how much I loved them. I want to tell Phil how happy I am to one day hopefully call him my step father and how happy I am that he is there to make my mother happy, like she deserves.
I want to be able to tell Jacob that he was the greatest friend I could ever hope for and that I hope he one day finds someone as special as he was. I wanted to tell the Cullen's how much they mean to me. How much I loved every last one of them, to be able to thank them for welcoming me to their family and giving me the chance to meet Edward. I just wanted more than anything else in the world was just the chance to tell Edward how much he has impacted my life and that every moment with him was heaven, and there was nothing I would change. Every minute, second that he was near me, holding me, singing to me, kissing me, that his love for me was the greatest thing to ever come into my life. I want to tell him how much I loved him and be able to say yes, yes that I wanted to be his wife and be with him forever. Yes to life, yes to our love, yes to an us. God I just wished I had the time to do all that, any part of it.
My mind was darkening, the fading images of my life dimming, as the light got farther and farther away. I just wished I had the time.
Edward…. I just wish..
"I promise." I heard a faint whisper say, echoing through the darkness. Edward……..I just wish I had more time.
"I promise I'm going to save you this time, just please hang on. I promise."
I wish I could hang on Edward. I tried, really I tried my best, but it isn't your fault, please don't think it is. Nothing was ever your fault. I love you Edward, I have and always will love you.
"Your going to be fine Bella. It's all going to be alright now. You'll see. Just wait."
What do you mean Edward? How can it all be alright, it will never be alright. I know your going to hurt, and I'm sorry, I really truly deeply am, but you have to let me go Edward, you have to let go and move on. I promise I'm not mad. I promise I will never be, I love you to much, but please I beg, let me go.
"Just hold on Bella. Your going to pull through, I wasn't to late this time, just please don't stop fighting. Please just a little longer Bella."
Oh, Edward. I know, I know, I wish, I really wish I could still hang on, but I don't know if I can. But I will try, if that is what you want, I promise I will try to hold on as long as I can. I will fight for you. I will hang on for you. Our love, will help me, I just hope I can keep that promise to you.
"I promise." I know we say at the same time. Just a little more time.
Sorry for the cliffy I really am, but I had to do it. Dont kill me -runs away- Hope you all liked it
If you have time feel free to review, even if it is to yell at me for the delay. HAHA
