Summary:

What if Jacob hadn't heard Bella scream? What if Edward had been successful when tracking Victoria? What will happen when Bella and Edward reunite more than a century after he left her?

Edward held me, rubbing my arm soothingly, whispering things I no longer remembered in my ear. He leaned down to quickly place his lips against mine.

That was it! That was all I could take! I sank to the floor, tearless sobs erupting from deep within me.

"Bella? Bella! What's wrong?" Cole bursted into my room, having heard my chokes and gasps.

Cole was slightly shorter than I, with shaggy blonde hair. He, of course had bright golden eyes, I had told him about Edward and the rest of the Cullen family and their "vegetarianism" in my earlier years.

I was part of Coles three person coven. Cole, Heather and I were close, very close. We told each other everything and anything, which explained Cole's next words,

"Bella, is it Edward? Were you remembering him?" he crouched down to my level, draping his arm over my shoulders.

"Cole. I'm. Fine" I gasped between sobs. I couldn't speak properly. Even as a vampire, with my human memories fading swiftly, I would never forget Edward Cullen, the love of my existence.

"Cole? You there?" Heather called from the other side of the door.

"Yeah," he answered. "You can come in." Cole and Heather were mates. They had been since way before I was even born. Sometimes it sickened me to be around them. I couldn't stand seeing what could have been. If I hadn't cut my stupid finger, that is.

Heather crept into the room slowly, being careful to not set me off again, I guessed.

"I'm fine, Heather." I assured her, clearing my voice up a little bit. "Listen, I know I've been hard to live with. Maybe it's because of this place. I don't know." We were currently settled in Forks, Washington. Every place I went reminded me of him. Heather was the one who wanted to live here. When I explained her about the Cullen's being able to go outside during the daytime, she just had to try it out.

"We can move again, if you want. If Forks is making you remember Edward more thoroughly, we'll leave." Cole muttered, carefully choosing his words.

"No, I'm fine. It's fine." I assured them. "I know Heather likes it here and besides, school is about to start back up again."

"Bella, I have a feeling that something good is going to happen soon." Heather informed me. That was her talent. She could tell when something good or bad was going to happen. It wasn't certain but it worked most of the time.

Cole looked up at her. "What? What's going to happen, Heather?"

"I don't know, Cole." She murmured under her breath, looking down at her hands. Of course she didn't know. That was the other problem with her talent; she knew something good was going to happen, she just didn't know what. She was tough on herself for that.

"It's okay Heather." Cole reached around my back and pulled her chin up with his finger. "At least we know something good will happen." And with that, he leaned across my lap and kissed her passionately.

I couldn't take it! "Please! Stop!" I sobbed. "Don't…" I whispered.

"Sorry." Heather mumbled against Cole's lips before pushing him away. "Bella, you have to forget him. I don't mean to be mean, but, Bella, it's killing me to watch you like this. I've never even seen you happy, once! He left you over a century ago, when you were… human." She sneered the last word.

That brought back several bad memories, one of them more prominent than the others.

During the dreaded year that Edward had left me, I had jumped off a cliff. I of course, being stupid Bella, did it for amusement purposes only.

I was drowning. I saw the every face of every Cullen flash before my eyes, resting on Edward, before I sank into the darkness.

It was Heather who saved me. I was practically dead when she found me.

'This will hurt' she warned me before sinking her pearly white teeth into my neck.

In three very long days, I was a newborn vampire.

Heather attempted to explain to me several times what I was. Each time I interrupted too tell her I knew what I was.

"Heather, you don't understand!" I cried. "Imagine if Cole left you. Now imagine he did while human emotions were running through your body. Do you not think you would get a little depressed?" I questioned.

"Bella, of course I would be sad, and, yeah, a little depressed as well. But I know I would get over it. I would hate myself for awhile but I would force him out of my mind. Like you should be doing." She ranted.

"Heather, drop it!" I stood with rage.

"Bella, I will not drop it!" Heather rose to my height.

"Heather…!" Cole warned her.

"Stay out of it, Cole!" Heather hissed at him, still looking me straight in the eye.

"I'm going for a run. Do not follow me, or so help me god!" I screamed at her, making a run for it.

"Bella! Bella! I'm sorry! Bella I…" She trailed off, realizing I wasn't turning around.

So in the past three minutes, I had managed to cry a tearless river—wait, make it a lake—fight with my sister—let alone best friend—and, best of all, learned something good was going to happen.

I couldn't help but wonder what it was that was going to happen. Heather was almost never wrong about her "feelings".

"Bella!" called a distantly familiar voice. I wasn't sure who it was, all I knew was it wasn't Heather or Cole and whoever it was, was definitely a vampire.

So, sorry for the cliffy, just had to. I already have Chapter 2 done; I just won't have it posted for another week or so. For anyone wondering, my other fan fiction: School Year, I just don't see going anywhere's but Drama Lane. I hope you like this one.
