{After Allison's Death,A Week Later}

{Bella's POV}

I didn't go to Allison's funeral. I killed her. And it's all my fault. I stood in my room,I looked out the window. In my defense she messed with my head.

"Bella,you have to eat."says Alec

"No."I said

"It wasn't your fault,it was self-defense."He says

"Just leave me,alone. Alec."I sighed

He slammed the door,I caused Allison to die. My fault or not,I took a life. It was different with Barrow. He tried to kill me. Scott walked in.

"Bella,your wasting away."He says

"Good."I said

"No it's not. It was an accident,it happens."He says

"Scott,it was different when I killed Barrow. But I took a life. And I should die."I said

"No,Bella."He begs

He held my hand.

"Scott,why are you fighting so hard?"I asked him

"Because,you deserve a second chance."He says

"Fine."I groaned

I went downstairs and grabbed some food,and ate. And I was better.

"Bella,it wasn't your fault."Dad says

"But then why does it feel like it?"I asked him

"Because,your instincts took over."He answers

Scott and I were at the preserve.

"Why are we walking through here?"I asked him

"There's a lake nearby."He says

"And it's okay to swim in?"I asked

"Have you swam in a lake before?"He asked me

"Once. When I was twelve."I sighed

"Well then,I guess this is gonna be interesting."He grins

I sighed,when we got to the lake,it was absolutely beautiful. And clean..not that I was that worried.

Scott took off his shirt and dived right it.

"C'mon,get in."He grins

"Nah,I'm gonna.."I stammered

He splashed water at me..I took off my shirt and jeans and laid them to dry. I stepped in the water and it was warm. Scott pulled me close to him. It wasn't the bests thing to be standing in a lake in my black bra and underwear.

"What?"I asked him

"Nothing."He grins

He kissed me,and then we went underwater. I smiled,and so did he.
