BPOV
I've always been surrounded by a wall.
Barring myself away from friendship, light and warmth.
My world has always been so very dark.
And it always will be.
Even Edward, the only reason for my heart to beat. Even he can't illuminate the musty sheen of black emptiness, embedded in my translucent skin.
There's no escape, there's no feeling, there's no way...and it's not like meeting Jacob helped. Jacob took my last figment of hope.
He stole my heart.
So if you're wondering why I want to end that... that... monster, there are two simple explanations.
1. The Cullens. They have no reason to die for my faults.
2. I'm finally going to take back what's mine.
My eyes flashed open, bright with determination. The first thing I saw was Carlisle's golden face, beaming down like the sun. I was lying on the Cullen's ever useful couch.
"Are you ready Bella? We're going to inject the morphine now." He murmured. His eyes were lifeless.
Alice had seen what happened to Charlie before I'd returned. Esme had bundled me into a much needed hug before I even reached the door. Then Edward prised her away from me, and wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Bella I'm so sorry..." He began, before I broke away from him.
"Don't say it Edward. Just don't." I paused, assessing his reaction. "Please?" He silently complied with my plea before leading me back into the house.
"Wait!" I yelled, sitting upright. I found Edward's eyes. I leaned over and touched his cheek.
"Will you do it Edward? ... Will you ... bite me?" Edward gaped at me, horror flashing through amber eyes. Carlisle was the first to find his voice.
"If that's what you really want Bella. I'm sure Edward can control himself. It's just a matter of..."
"No!" Edward yelled, standing upright, his eyes were flashing and his hands were clenched. His knuckles were white, the skin straining to stretch over the bone.
"No fucking way Bella!" Anger slipped away from him as quickly as it came, and was replaced with a look of trauma.
"Please Edward I'm begging you, just this one thing. It feels so right, it'll prove it to me once and for all." I felt the tears sliding slowly down my flushed cheeks, although I could also feel myself smiling widely.
"Prove what?" He whispered his face exhausted and grey.
"Our love."
"Edward?" I whispered, gasping for breath.
"What?"
"Is this real?" I sighed. It seemed too mind blowing to be true.
"Bella, oh Bella." He moaned. "It couldn't be any more real. I cannot believe how much love pulses through my veins. I love you."
That was the first time he told me he loved me.
Joy overcame the many emotions inside me. I laughed with pure happiness.
"Say it again, say it over and over!" I cried.
"I love you. I love you. I LOVE YOU ISABELLA SWAN" He kissed me every time he said it.
"I love you too Edward."
How could something that seems so impossible, be so perfect?
This is it.
Carlisle had injected a vast amount of morphine into my system. Edward and I were alone in his bedroom. I looked at Edward and saw his haggard expression. I grasped his hands into mine. He looked up and stared me desperately in the eye.
"Bella. I don't want to do this. I can't do this." He moaned. I placed my hands on either side of his face and stared straight into his agonised eyes.
"It's the only way you can set me free. Free from the pain. Free from...Him." He stared back for sometime, his eyes stabbing mine with his pain. A tear slowly glided down his cheek.
"If I do this. There's no going back." He whispered, his voice desperate, cracking.
"I don't want to go back." I murmured. I hovered my lips beside his ear.
"I want to go forward."
And with that, he leaned forward, and sank his teeth into my neck.
"I love you. I love you. I LOVE YOU ISABELLA SWAN"
"Bells?"
"Yes dad?"
"Be careful."
"Yes dad."
I tiny smile played on my lips as I made my way back up the stairs. Maybe it wasn't that bad to be loved.
"I want to Jacob. I want to love you but I can't - not in the way that will make you happy. I did once, I really did love you once. But that's gone Jake, someone took it away from me." Tears danced freely down my cheeks. He asked a question he already knew the answer to.
"Who, who took it?" He asked in a broken whisper.
"You Jake. You took it away from me. And I don't think it's coming back. I can't live without my heart Jacob, and you stole it from me. You abused it, and hurt it." He shook his head, his tears gushing like waterfalls.
"I won't let you Bella. I will always fight for you."
Love is a strong thing.
Love is a right and wrong thing.
Love can be stretched and twisted.
Or Love can just be left the way it is.
Love can be anything you want it to be.
You just have to believe it's there.
And when you do, you have the fate of the world in your hands.

I pulled myself away. My breath was ragged and uneven.
I felt her sweet, thick blood trickle slowly down my chin. I wiped my mouth ferociously, my eyes never leaving her closed ones. She was so still, yet her heart so was so strong, so forceful.
That was when I heard it.
Although he lived all the way over in La Push, I could still hear it. Who couldn't?
The most bloodcurdling, ear splitting howl belonging to someone, oh so familiar. My eyes widened before returning to Bella's still form. My eyes traced the deep scar prominent on her beautiful face. I then replayed the sound of Jacob's on-going agony in my mind.
I laughed for the first time in fifty years.
