Truth

“What do you mean?” He looked in my eyes.

“I see them. Walking, cooking, playing with their children,…It’s so confusing.” I buried my head against his chest. If I could cry, tears would be rolling over my cheeks now.

“Ssst, my love. It’s going to be fine.”

“No, Edward. I can’t manage it! It’s unbearable. I see them, Edward. I see Charlie and Renée, they are both crying ‘cause I’m gone! What have I done to them.”

“You’ve done nothing wrong.” He said to calm me down –Jasper was calling my family to come over again –but I knew I did something that ruined my life and theirs. I knew they would cry. But this was what I wanted, who I wanted to be, what I wanted to be.

“Edward, Bella?” Esme called.

“In the living room!.”

“What’s going on? Jasper was so confused.”

“It’s Bella…” Edward said without looking away from me.

“First blood, huh..” Carlisle said, it didn’t sound as a question.
I looked at his face. He knew he was wrong about that.

“No, Carlisle. It’s not the blood.”

“What is it then?” Esme came closer, took my trembling hand.
I wasn’t really aware of it, I could only see the people.
Alice was on her way too, I saw her running through the forest. Fast. She probably saw me in another vision.

“Alice is coming…” I managed to say.
Carlisle and Esme looked at me with confusion.

“How…What…” Carlisle whispered.
There was a pause, there was silence in the house. I could only hear the sound of the soft breaths stopping now and then.

“She sees people, Carlisle. She has a gift.”
Carlisle too came closer now.

“Is everything alright, Bella?” I heard him, but I couldn’t find my voice. I thought about my visions. What did they mean.

“Bella?” My angel’s voice called.

“I’m…fine…” My voice was only a whisper.

“Bella?” Carlisle asked.

“Yes?”

“Do you want to talk about it?”

“Hi Alice…” I didn’t answer to his question.

“Hi…Bella.”Why was everybody so confused. “What’s going on.” Though she knew I wouldn’t answer, she looked at me. Five pairs of eyes looked at me. All the same confused gaze.

“Let’s give her a rest.” Edward said.

“Edward, stay!” I panicked. “Don’t leave me alone!”
