{THIRTY EIGHT}


EDWARD CULLEN
Blue skies green grass. That's what it was like right now. Everything looked so happy but me...I wasn't. I wasn't happy. I felt as if I was broken and couldn't be fixed. I was like some broken toy. I felt used. Empty. Gone...

I sat there on a log looking down at a picture of Aurora in my hands. I smiled sadly as it was a picture of her laying on my bed fast asleep. It was when I laid there with her cuddled into me but in the picture, she looked peaceful. For once, she looked happy. She looked happy and that made me happy. So so fucking happy but now, I couldn't feel any more useless than I do right now.

I let out a sigh as I got up putting the picture away and wiped the tears that were streaming past my cheeks. Never have I ever cried over someone. Not even with Bella.

"Dad" I heard Renesmee speak behind me. Of course ,she followed.

"What" I spoke softly. I didn't want to be harsh anymore. All I wanted was to be dead. Dead and gone. It was for the best.

"Why are you going to Volterra" she spoke as I let out a breathy dry laugh. Why else would I go? Of course, I'm going to die.

"To die" I replied blankly as before she could say anything else I ran off as I left everything behind and as I ran all I could think about was Aurora.

I smiled to myself running to my final destination as I thought about her and everything about her. Her smell, her touch, how she sounded, her.

I smiled as during the whole short trip to Italy I couldn't help but think about her. I couldn't help but think about everything. About how she made me feel. How she made me be...how with her I felt more...alive. It was just...amazing.

I smiled as I ran thinking all about her. Thinking about everything I love about her. How much I loved to see her hair sprawled out underneath her. How I loved to see her cuddled up close into me late at nights. I loved to see her just being her. I smiled thinking all about it. All about her. Then not soon after I couldn't stop thinking on how much I loved the taste of her lips. The sweet peachy taste of her lips. How much I loved the taste of her kiss. I smiled as I knew I loved her touch. How much I loved her arms wrapping around my neck as I pulled her close. The feeling of her breath on my chest. The feeling of her chest rising and falling. The feeling of her warmth which contradicted my coldness. The feeling of her hands in mine. How much I loved that. But even then, with all that I loved the sweet smell of her peach hair. The summer smell of her. I loved the smell of her blood that would fill the air. The smell that overpowered everything but my love for her was much more. But most of all, even though I would loved every bit of her there was one thing that overpowered it all. It was her voice. The sweet honey like tone of her voice which would always calm me down. She was never harsh but always calm cool and soft. It was always peaceful with her. She was just perfect. Perfect and I couldn't ask for anything more or anything better because there was no more I could have as there was no better.

I smiled knowing these are the reasons I had to leave. With her in that coma she won't ever wake up...and she never wakes up...I would never ever see, hear, taste, smell, or feel these things that form the woman I love...and without these things...I couldn't live...so that's what I was going to do. I was going to kill myself so that way I couldn't be in a world without her. That way, maybe, maybe I could see her again...in the afterlife. If there ever was one for me...

I let a tear slip just thinking about her when I noticed I was approaching Volterra. I sighed softly as I walked past the front seeing a bunch of people dressed in red for the festival. I sighed and quickly went through the back door to the chambers of the Volturi. Slowly I walked in going through the halls watching as everyone was staring at me. It was like they expected but didn't expect me.

"That's Edward Cullen" I heard someone whisper as I heard a small chuckle.

"Yes darling, yes it is" another voice spoke as the other voice laughed. It was like they were getting joy out of my presence.

"Is he going to die?" another voice spoke as I laughed to myself softly. That was the plan.

Soon enough I reached their chambers. Once I walked inside Aro gave me this grin. He knew what I was going to ask. He knew everything.

"Kill me. I want you to kill me" I spoke bluntly as Aro just laughed...or more giggled.

"I can't do that. You should know that. Your powers are too special to be wasted" he grinned as I let out a small grumble in annoyance. He knew I've been here once before. He knew that I would do what I did last time again. But, this time, I would get what I wanted. There was no one to help me. Aurora was gone and none of my family could get here in time without me knowing.

"You know I'll get what I want one way or another" I spoke bitterly as he chuckled and watched as I left. He didn't even bother saying it was a waste. It was like he thought I wasn't going to do it but I was. I was going to die.

Once I walked out of that place I immediately went to the clock tower. I wanted to do this as quickly as possible. I needed to die.

Quickly I opened the doors as I saw the sun was rising to its highest point. I smiled as all I could think about was her. Aurora. I smiled thinking about her laughter and smiles as I unbuttoned my shirt and walked closer into the light. I smiled more imagining her close to me. Cuddling. Both of us madly in love even though I knew it would never happen but that was okay. I smiled knowing I would see her again...maybe. Maybe in 100 years from now I'll see her again but, from above or below I'll see her again. One way or another...but, she needed to live her life and I was going to do that. Let her live her life and have children and a husband who isn't a monster. Who isn't...me.

I smiled more as I continued to think about her and felt my foot going down the steps of the tower. I smiled as I was now halfway into the sunlight. I smiled dropping my shirt as I stepped fully into the sun letting it shine on me as I waited for people to notice. I smiled hearing a little girl speaking trying to get her mothers attention and that's when suddenly, I felt a small push against me and soft tears on my bare chest as I stumbled back and the doors of the clock tower were now shut.

AURORA FROST
I was in Alice's car as we were speeding through Volterra. It was a big huge city as I felt this feeling that I've never felt before...it was a mixture of anxiety, worry, fear, and...love? I didn't really know...I never really FELT love or have been loved...or well, loved by someone other than family.

I felt myself cling onto the seat as panic finally sank in as all I could feel was overwhelmed...after all, I just woke up and now I find out Edward wants to kill himself?! This is all my fault...

Suddenly I was broken from my thoughts as the car sprung to a halt as there were people going around the car and we were parked or well...not moving.

"A-Alice! Why aren't we moving?!" I found myself speaking quickly as she was looking around also panicked.

"Aurora, you have to go look for him. He's by the big clock tower. You have to hurry. Don't let him in. If he knows you're here he'll hurry up and expose himself" she spoke quickly and I nodded getting out of the car and instantly ran looking for him. For that big giant clock tower.

I ran and ran as I pushed people aside and away as I suddenly felt someone pull me back. It was an officer.

"Let me go! Let me go!" I screamed as he refused to and his grip got tighter. I panicked and looked around as I saw the clock tower was right in front of me. I saw as the doors opened and he was stepping out.

"Let go!" I screamed and quickly pushed him off as I heard a thud but I didn't care and before he could get up I ran over and through the fountain as I pushed more people away.

I saw as he was now fully out in the sun as his skin was sparkling. A little girl was looking and I noticed she was trying to get her mum's attention.

Quickly I got over to him and pushed him out of the way and into the shade as the coldness of his skin was against my warm skin. I sobbed silently as I wrapped my arm around him as the doors shut. I didn't care on how they shut but all that mattered was him. All I needed was him.

"E-Edward. Please. Please" I choked out softly and looked up at him with tears streaming down my face. He looked down at me with a pained look and a blank one on top of that.

"E-Edward, look. I'm awake. I'm awake. I'm okay. I'm okay" I whispered as I cupped his cheeks into my hands as I trailed my fingers up his face and into his hair.

"E-Edward" I whispered once more as I saw him smile weakly as his hands snaked up between the small space between us and stroke my cheek making me let out a small happy silent laugh that was a little breathy.

"Mi amore" he whispered and closed his eyes as my face fell and I quickly jumped up wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his torso. He needed to see me. He needed to realize I was here.

"Edward! Look at me! I'm right here. Open your eyes. Please. Please. Look at me. Please" I spoke with a slight stutter and a slight sob.

"per sempre e sempre vampiro mio" I whispered not really knowing what I said. I didn't speak Italian but I knew what the last part was because Alice told me how to say 'my vampire' other than that I had no idea but I hoped it would work as that was all I knew.

"Aurora?" he whispered finally and opened his eyes looking at me. I nodded with a smile as his face fell more and he pushed me away and looked down.

"Go away..." he spoke in a harsh tone which made my heart break.

"B-But. I-I love you" I choked out as everything felt like it was falling apart.

"I don't love you. Now leave me alone" he spoke as I shook my head and walked closer into him and looked up at him as he towered over me.

"Y-You told me you love me. You said you were going to 'set me free' but no. I don't want to be 'free'. I don't want anyone else. I want you" I spoke softly as he looked away and stepped back.

I inhaled sharply as I took off the necklace off my neck and grabbed his hand and opened it placing it inside and then closed it.

"You said to never forget you. I heard every little thing you said. To me, to my dad, to everyone. I heard what you said to James too. I know you feel guilty and I know you don't love me but don't do this. Don't kill yourself over me because of my annoying self. If you want me to leave I'll leave because what's the point. I was never meant to be loved. After all, I loved Evan but with him, he broke my heart when he hurt me physically but you don't know how much you mean to me. He may have broke my heart but you shattered it. You're still shattering it right n-now as I'm speaking and you're just standing there saying I mean nothing to you. If I didn't why did you say all those things. Why did I bother even waking up? I woke up for you because I LOVE you but you know what, I'll move on...won't I?" I spoke calmly as I pulled away and turned away as I saw the door open and Alice walk in. Confused.

"Aurora? Edward? What's going on?" she asked as suddenly I heard footsteps and turned around seeing three people walking over in hoods. Once they removed their hoods I saw a girl and two guys...with red eyes. Vampires.

"Come with us" the girl spoke as Edward walked forward as Alice did too but for me...I was confused.

"Aurora, come on. You have to come with too" Alice spoke and I nodded and walked over and next to Edward as Alice was right behind us. I looked up at him then at his hand as inside was the necklace. Not even once did he look at me as we descended down the stairs and into a place that was unknown to me...a place where I felt...scared.
