Bella POV

So here I stand on the very edge of the tallest cliff overlooking the ocean. My eyes drifting upon the gray storm clouds building up upon the horizon until they met the inkish black water. Although I truly saw none of this. My eyes and mind were too filled with images of him; even in my mind it hurt to think of his name, as the images passed through my mind I could feel the hole in my heart ripping open once again.

I knew that I was starting to lose my grip on reality when I started seeing the ghostly image of him whenever I would do something dangerous. Now I could not stop. It was as if it was the only thing keeping me sane but at the same time somewhere deep down I knew it was insane. So I kept upping the ante, doing more and more dangerous things. At first it was a relief to see his face, even for a few fleeting moments. But it was not working any more, the more I saw his ghostly face the worse I felt. I could not go on any longer.

So now; after having a huge fight with Jacob and feeling so alone, I decided to end it all. So here I stood; taking in what in my mind were my last few breaths and whispering a silent goodbye to my mom and dad, all the while the ghostly image of Edward pleads with me not to do what I am about to do. "You wanted me to be human, you would not be with me any other way...then watch me be human" I whisper to his ghostly self, more for my own satisfaction than anything else.

I took one last look at his ghostly angelic face and say "Goodbye Alice, Jasper, Esme, Carlisle, Emmett, Rosalie, Edward…I will always love all of you, even if you could no longer love me" Taking one last step forward I began to free-fall off the edge of the cliff. I fell for what seemed like an eternity until my body collided with the freezing, churning black waters of the North Pacific Ocean. As I slipped below the dark surface I felt oddly at peace.
