Here's the last chapter. I told you it was short. Please review and tell me if it was worth my time to write this. I don't know if it was or not...

Shout out to everybody!
I love you all!


Forever in Your Memories

Lisa cried herself to sleep in my car on the way back to Chicago. I stayed quiet and brooding like Claire told me not to. How did she expect me not to blame myself? It was all my fault. There's no other way to look at it. The worst part was knowing that if I never came back to Bella, she would have lived the same way.

I pulled up to Lisa's house and carried her sleeping body to the door. A woman answered. First she saw me, then her eyes fell to Lisa.

"May I?" I asked indicating to the couch.

She opened the door wider for me to get through. I lay her on the couch and placed a blanket on top of her.

The lady was still standing in the doorway. You're Edward Mason, aren't you?

I nodded.

Her eyes grew wide. But that can't be...it's not possible. I stayed silent as she thought through everything. You went to visit my mom...

I looked you down. She knew what that meant. I didn't know what to say.

"Tell Lisa I'll keep in touch. Goodbye."

She nodded speechless. I left without another word.

Back in the car, I called Bella. "Hello?"

"Bella, I'm coming home."

"...Alice told us what happened. Edward, I'm so sorry. I can't even begin to imagine what you must be feeling."

"I'm okay. I just need to come home. It was a bad idea coming here. I'll see you in a few days."

"Okay, I love you."

"Love you, too Bella." I hung up and sat there for a long time. I sighed and finally moved. I found a notepad and pen in my glove compartment. I couldn't just leave like I did with Claire. So I started to write:

Lisa,
I couldn't stay in Chicago. I don't want to interfere
with your lives anymore. I'm sorry for any pain I've
caused you. I hope this helps a little. Claire made
me promise to take care of you. So that's what I
intend to do. Please don't search for me.
forever watching,
Edward

I signed it and put it in an envelope. I grabbed my duffel bag from the back seat. In it was a my money for emergencies; I took a wad of cash out and placed it in the envelope. I walked back to the house and put it in the mailbox. I didn't know what else I could do.

The road home seemed even longer...lonelier somehow. Bella was waiting on the porch with Alice. Neither one smiled or welcomed me home. Bella walked quietly to my side. Her forehead was creased with worry.

"I'm fine, Bella. Really. I just didn't expect that. I went out of curiousity. I wanted to see if I could find any familiar landmarks. Instead, I find a person." I laughed dryly.

Bella squeezed me tighter.

"If I had known it was her dying wish..."

"Edward, don't focus on the negatives." She whispered.

I groaned. "You won't believe how much she reminded me of you. She said those exact words. Ugh, I'll never forgive myself."

"For what? For becoming a vampire? Or for going to Chicago? Either way, it happened. Being all moody and depressed isn't going to help anything." Bella scolded.

"I know." I did know, but it didn't help lessen the guilt.

"You don't have to get over it." Bella said quietly again. "Just don't blame yourself. You can't help you perfectness. People can't forget you like you wish they would. You touch people's lives. You leave a mark on everyone's heart."

"Daddy!"

I looked up to see Renesmee standing in the door waiting for me. I opened my arms and embraced her.

"I missed you," I whispered.


Sorry, it was so short. That's all I have left. I couldn't end it on a happy note, but I warned you.

Review please.
