I heard a car pull up behind me but I didn't care to look.
"I have to go after him!" I yelled to myself.
"No Bella!" It was Emmett and he ran over and grabbed me. "What happened?!"
"Edward…tackled James… off cliff!" My words slurred out incoherently. "I have to go get him!" I tried squirming from his grip but he wouldn't let go of me.
"Bella, let's go around to the other side where the beach is. We'll look for him there."
Emmett didn't sound as upset as I thought he would. But my mind was filled with too many other things to ask why.
I stood up and started running towards where Emmett had pointed out the beach.
"Bella! Get in the car!" That time it was Jasper.
Before I could respond Emmett and picked me up and carried me to what I found out was a jeep.
I was shaking uncontrollably as Emmett put me inside. I screamed and cried for Edward while Jasper tried to calm me down.
It was Pierce who was driving and he eventually got to the beach. I jumped out and ran towards the edge of the ocean. I couldn't see Edward or even James anywhere.
"How long as it been?! Where is he?!" I shouted out but no one answered.
When I couldn't seen him anywhere I collapsed onto the beach and let my heart fall apart into the sea. "No! Edward no!" I kept crying out.
I couldn't take it, if no one was going to go after him...I would.
I stood up and started running into the ocean. The waves started to crash against my legs making it hard for me to go fast causing me to fall multiple times.
"Bella NO!" I heard them call behind me. "Bella get back here!"
I didn't turn around to face them, I had to go find Edward.
When I could no longer feel the sandy bottom of the floor I took off paddling as hard as I could towards where Edward fell in. The waves continued to crash into me, only this time going into my eyes burning them and making my throat too dry to yell for Edward, but I tried anyway.
"ED--EDWARDD!"
I didn't hear an answer and then panic kicked in. I realized I was too far out and had no idea how to look for Edward. I tried to float in one spot to catch my breath but the waves wouldn't allow it. I had no other choice but to keep swimming.
I wasn't quite sure where to swim to, or if it was even worth it but I had to try. I could faintly hear everyone back on the beach still calling my name. What were you thinking Bella?!
I was now so far out to where I couldn't see the beach at all. The waves violently crashed against my body throwing me under. I kept trying to spit the water back out but it was soon going down my throat. I wanted to call out for Edward again but I couldn't speak.
I shut my eyes to protect them from the salt water but they still burned liked crazy.
The water suddenly became even more violent and I couldn't keep my head above it.
I was dragged under for a second until I reached the surface, but just to be dragged back down once again. I opened my mouth again to call out for Edward but a big gush of water poured down my throat and I couldn't breath. I felt my self struggling underneath the water and then it went black.

I felt the sun pounding down on my face. There wasn't anymore water surrounding me and I wondered if this was either a dream, or if I was dead. Hopefully I was dreaming and was going to wake up at any moment right now in my big comfy bed at the palace. But my body ached too much for it to be fake.
