• Bella let out a coarse sob, she felt the hole in her heart ache. Jacob, her best friend, the one who had helped her overcome her depression was, dead. Edward rapped his arms around Bella comforting her.

    "W-What happened?" Bella stuttered looking up at Edwards pale beautiful face, he looked away ashamed. She starred at him expressionless tears spreading across her face. She knew what happened but didn't know what to say but, she knew how she felt. Bella backed away shacking her head. "You didn't!" She said in disbelief. Edwards attempts for showing no emotion were terrible, Bella saw right through him.

    "Bella, I'm sorry. If I had known he was your friend I would have tried harder but..." Edward turned his head in the other direction hiding any evidence of pain.

    He was my best friend and know he's gone! These words repeatedly played in her mind like a broken record. This could't be happening! Edward wasn't a killer, he couldn't be, the treaty would be off! Bella ran through explanations of what might be happening here.

    Option one; Edward is a killer and killed her best friend Jacob resulting in a depressed Bella once again.
    Option two; This is all another horrible nightmare and soon she will be awoken by Charlie and be back with Jacob once again, dreading everyday away from Edward.
    Option three; A part of Bella wants to love Jacob but she is irrevocably in love with Edward. Edward killed Jacob for reason unknown, and some part of Bella is well... relived?

    Bella came to the conclusion that option three seemed quite relevant but didn't understand why. She loved Jacob but why did she feel this way because he was gone. She should feel saddened but instead she feels relived. Edward reached over grasping his hands around Bella's waist.

    "Why? Why did you do this?" Bella asked with the wrong tone. For some reason she sounded glad.

    "It was accidental, you know how I can get. He was in with the wrong crowd, Sam would have done it himself if I wasn't there. Bella I was trying to protect him." Edward justified.

    "What you can't kill someone then say you were protecting them that's, that's immoral!"

    Emotions in the room started to alter, that's when Bella and Edward realized Alice, Carlisle and Jasper had been standing there through the whole argument.

    "I better take you home Bella, You'll need to sleep if you want to make the funeral tomorrow night." Alice said. She seemed less enthusiastic then before, I could only imagine it was because of the things she had just witnessed.

    It was a long ride to Bella's house she was more lethargic then ever. Bella opened her eyes to her house Charlie's car was sitting in the drive way as usual and her truck was there too. Edward or Carlisle must have dropped it off or... Jacob flashed through her mind and she winced.

    "Bella you know it was an accident. Sam got mad at Jacob, they were fighting so Edward stepped in, but the moment Sam attacked him he became..." Alice stopped assuming she got what she meant. She assumed correctly. Bella starred out the window, she felt Alice rap her arms around her and whisper in her ear "I'm sorry Bella. Just please don't balm Edward for this."

    Bella got out of the Volvo and made her way to the door. She reached her hand out and placed it on the door handle. She turned around to give Alice the okay but she had already left. She had been so used to her loud truck she almost forgot how much of a soft hum the Cullen's car made. Bella opened the door to see Charlie and Billy sitting in the same room.
