{THIRTY SIX}


EDWARD CULLEN
I got up and out of the bathroom looking around. Worried. I didn't want anyone to stop me. I needed to die. I needed to go. I had to.

"Edward, you okay?" Jasper spoke as I looked over to see him alone. He must be calming down Alice.

"Edward?" he asked again as I looked at him with a nod. That's when Alice came over and kissed his cheek.

"Hi Jaz" she smiled as suddenly Emmett and Rosalie came down together. They looked happy. They all did.

"Edward? You seem...off. You alright?" Emmett spoke as for once he didn't say anything stupid or make a smart remark. I sort of let it just sit there as I didn't respond.

"Edward are y-" he started again but before he could finish I ran. I ran away and to the hospital. I meant it. I was going to see her one last time.

I found myself running to the mountains instead of the hospital. I came here to think often times. I came here to calm down. I needed to think...I needed...space.

I looked out at the snow falling around me. I smiled watching as it stuck to the ground. I sat here thinking about Aurora. I started to think about her. How much I loved her. How much I love her. How much she means to me. How much I need her. That's when I realized...I love Aurora. I love her yet I love Bella...I love Bella yet hate her. Maybe hate more than love...

I let out a small sigh as I sat there with my knees to my chest. Thinking. What was I going to do? The only way out of this reckoning is to die. And if Aurora passed on I would too. I know she would be in heaven and me hell but that was okay. I deserved to be alone. I couldn't keep messing with her. I couldn't keep leading her on. I couldn't keep hurting her.

I got up knowing what I was going to do. I knew I was going to die and I know this time I was going to succeed. No one would be able to stop me. No one would help me because no one would know. Only Aurora could help me but even then, I killed her. I hurt her.

I looked up at the sky seeing the snow falling as all I couldn't think about was her. She would be free of me. She would be free of a monster. Then and only then, when she wakes up, she would be free.

Quickly I ran to the hospital to see her. I needed one more look of her before I leave forever. I smiled as all I found myself thinking about was her. That's how I knew I loved Aurora. There was no Bella. There was no more Bella. Aurora was mine. I didn't need Bella. Aurora. I picked Aurora.

When I finally reached the hospital I walked in with a sad smile on my face as I looked at the lady on the front desk.

"Hello, do you need any help?" she asked as I nodded.

"Aurora Cullen. Do you know what room she's in?" I asked with a smile as I noticed the confused look on her face.

"Um sir, we don't have an Aurora Cullen" she spoke as I realized what I said which only made me sad. I wanted her. I knew that now...but, I can't have her.

"Sorry, I meant Aurora Frost..." I whispered feeling my face fall. I wanted to marry her but I knew she wouldn't like me. Plus...it was too soon.

"Oh. Yeah, she's the coma girl isn't she?" she asked as I nodded.

"She's in Room 226" she spoke as I nodded with a small sad smile and went to walk off when she said something else.

"Wait a minute, aren't you Dr. Cullen's son?" she asked as I nodded. It hurt to talk. "I see the way you look at her. You love her. This may be very hard on you" she spoke as I weakly smiled thinking about her then frowned thinking about her situation.

"Yes. I do love her. I love her so much and it is hard but it's harder on her. She lost her mom and brother. Now she's a mess and I caused it but it's okay, she's going to be okay" I smiled as the lady nodded.

"You two are perfect for each other. You should see her much more. She'd be thrilled to see you even though she can't see you she can hear you"

I only nodded in response as I walked over to her room with a smile on my face. After this, she would never have to see me again. See or hear me.

I looked around as I saw her room. 226. I smiled thinking about her. As I was about to walk in I saw James walk by with a look. Once he saw me that look darkened.

"Why are you here? Haven't you done enough?" he snapped as I looked down. He's right, I shouldn't be here.

"James, he's here to see Aurora" I heard someone say as I saw Renesmee who walked over and held his hand.

"Give him some space. Let him and Aurora be for a bit. I know you're upset but he is too" she spoke softly as he nodded kissing her cheek making me roll my eyes a bit.

"Just go in before I change my mind" James spat as I nodded walking in without any hesitation. I watched as I saw her dad sitting there by the side of her bed. He looked in pain. He looked depressed. Another girl was sitting there. She looked between 30 and 40. Probably around the same age as Aurora's dad.

"Lannan, we should go" the girl spoke as she lightly held his hand.

Her dad then looked up and saw me. He looked angry.

"Why. Why didn't you stop her! I trusted you with her! I thought she would be happy with you! I thought you loved her! I let you near her and I let you be with her! Because of you, she's missing school and because she decided to stay with you both my son and my daughter are gone! My wife is dead and now I have no one!" he snapped as all I could do was look down. I heard the thoughts of the woman next to him. She was heartbroken. She felt like nothing. She was Aurora's Dad's girlfriend. She knew he was going through a lot but had her. And him not realizing that sort of hurt.

"And now you have the guts to come in here after a month! You cause this and you claim to have loved her! You claimed that you were going to protect her and now because of you she's dead! How dare you even come to this damn hospital! You killed the last two people who mattered to me!" he snapped as suddenly the woman next to him got up and walked off. She was thinking so much hateful things. So much painful things. She hurts herself too.

I sucked in sharply as I looked at him letting it all out. "I do love your daughter. I love her so much. I love her beyond anything. Without her, I would've died. I know how it feels to lose someone. Aurora does too. She's been through a lot. We all have. I know you're hurting but you need to stop. She will wake up and I came here to say goodbye. I know I don't deserve her because you're right. I did cause this and I'm sorry. It won't bring them back but they won't be fully gone. Think about it, she's up there looking down at you with your son and wife waiting for when the time comes for you to be with them again. But right now, you have that woman who left just moments ago. You're in pain and she knows that too but having to sit here hearing you say you have no one kills her. She loves you and I suggest you don't let her go. You have something with her. Also, when you go after her, show her how much she means to you. You only have one shot like I did. I had one shot to be with the most beautiful girl in the world but I don't deserve her. I don't deserve her love and I don't deserve her smile. I wanted to get her to be happy. I thought I could do that. I thought I could love her enough to show her what love really is but I ruined that. I caused her to kill herself and trust me, I have forever to live with that but for right now, I'm going to live in this moment that I have. Right now. The feeling of being in the same room with your daughter is such a lucky feeling. Just knowing she's here is just the greatest" I spoke and looked at her lying in that hospital bed. Peaceful and calm. She looked...happy.

"And looking at her. She's beautiful. I love her more than words can describe. You know, I tried killing myself. I tried that so I could be with her because it truly hurts to live in a world she does not exist. She means everything to me and I wanted to apologize to her and I'll be on my way. I'm letting her go. I'm letting her be free. And hopefully, with me gone, she'll wake up. And when she wakes up she'll find another. She'll find someone else to love like you found that woman who left. People move on but I hope she never forgets the small amount of time I had with her" I spoke with a bigger smile and sat on the bedside right next to her as I held her warm hand in my cold ones. I loved the feeling of her warmth. It made me feel more human and less like a monster.

"Your daughter was the best thing that ever happened to me and this...this tragedy is what made me realize that." I spoke and all was silent. No one made a sound as I continued to stare at her getting lost in her everything. She had a small smile on her lips which made me smile too.

"I love you" I whispered and kissed her head and closed my eyes tightly not ever wanting to let go but I had to.

"You'll never see me again. You'll be free. I love you. So much. So so much Aurora. My love, my darling, my Auri, mi amore. When you wake up I'll be long gone. But for now, I want you to know I love you. Forever and always. Please don't forget me" I whispered as I pulled away cupping her cheek gently as I rubbed it with my thumb. Smiling sadly as I knew this was it. This was my last time seeing her...forever.

Gently I held her hand again opening it to place something in her palm. I smiled closing her hand around it and kissed her hand with a sad smile. "Don't forget me" I whispered once more and stood up walking over to the door knowing if I stopped I would never leave.

"When she wakes up tell her she's free. Tell her I miss her so much. And you too. Move on. That woman, don't let her go. And check her wrists. You'd be surprised what people hide behind a smile" I spoke as I walked with a smile on my face leaving her behind with the small gift in her hand. A small gift I hoped she kept. For now and forever...

And finally, just like that, I was gone.
