The sound of the gun as it dropped on the ground, sounded through the room. It was like time was standing still. I couldn't breathe as I prayed my eyes were playing tricks on me. The smoke from the gun slowed to a stop. I watched as the blood oozed. Edward's eyes wide in fear as it never left mines. My heart broke as I watch a single tear fell from his eyes. Edward's light blue shirt ruined as the blood soaked through the hole in his shirt. His chest leaked of blood as my body froze in its spot.

Edward's shot.

He exhaled before dropping to his knees. "Edward, no!" I rushed over to him, applying pressure on the wound, trying to stop the bleeding.

What the hell just happened?!

"Are you okay?" I looked up at the voice to see Sam walking over to Alice pulling her up off the floor.

"Sam?" I cried looking down at Edward.

I firmly clutched his hand scared to move him any more. "Edward please hang on," His breath became raspy and quickened in pace as it became difficult and difficult to breathe. "I'll try to get you some help."

"Oh Bella, I'll like for you to meet Sam. My lover." Jacob's best friend, for ten plus years, was standing in front of me, pointing a gun at me.

"Sam what did you do?!" I cried as I look into Edward's eyes.

"Shut the fuck up!" Sam spat. He turned to face Alice. He pulled her closer into a kiss. "I miss you, babe,"

"Mmm," Alice said as she moaned into his mouth.

"Why are you doing this?" I cried.

Sam looked down at me with a look of pure disgust. "I don't like you."

Before cocking the gun and pointed it at me.

"Wait!" Alice yelled causing us both to look at her. "I want to kill her." She said looking directly into my eyes.

"Sure thing babe," Sam said as he handed the gun to Alice. She grabbed the gun before pointing it at me.

My body froze as I was unable to look away from Alice's face. Alice's dark blue eyes glistened with evil. She smirked before showing her perfect white teeth.

Before I can register Alice's movements, she turned the gun toward Sam's face.

"What the-"

POW!

"Ahh!" I screamed as chunks of Sam's head scattered across the wall behind him. His body fell with a loud thud as it hit the ground. The blood flowed from Sam's head as it felt like I will vomit.

"You're fucking crazy!" I screamed.

Alice looked at me with an insane look on her face. Specks of Sam's blood was all over her face and clothes. She wiped her face with the palm of her hands which caused the blood to smear over her face.

"I told you," Alice said. "I am in love with Jacob, and no one will stand in my way to get what I want,"

A gargling sound from Edward caught my attention. I look down at Edward just in time to see a single tear flow down his face. My heart broke as I watch my first love fight for his life.

Tears flowed down Edward's face as he tried desperately to catch his breath. His eyes told me everything I was already thinking.

We are not making it out of this room alive. This is the end.

I squeezed my eyes shut as the tears rolled down also. I never picture I will die like this.

I squeezed Edward's hand in mines. I watched Edward as his chest raised for the last time as he took his last breath. He's gone. He's dead.

I screamed in agony as I hugged Edward's lifeless body in my arms. My face buried in his bloody shirt as I cried. His heart is no longer beating.

I can't believe he's gone.

"Don't worry," Alice said. My body numb. Edward's dead.

The sound of the gun being cocked sounded off in the room.

I never thought my life would end at the hands of Alice.

I looked up at Alice to see the gun pointing at my face yet again. "You will be joining him soon."

I closed my eyes looking away, accepting the fact I will no longer see my boys again, and I didn't even get to say goodbye.

"I love you,"

"FREEZE!"

POW!

POW!POW!POW!THATHAT!

I found myself buried in Edward's lifeless body as the shots where fired.

Slowly I looked up. Alice's body was laying on the floor with the gun still in her hand. Blood oozed from the multiple bullet holes in her body.

I vomited.

"Bella!?" I looked up at the familiar voice. Jacob rushed through the door of the room. The relief on his face when he saw me made the tears come down my face harder.

"Jacob," I said. I couldn't move. Jacob walked up to me slowly as he looked at Edward's motionless body laid next to me. I can't believe he's gone. I cried into Edward's shirt as I said goodbye.

"Baby?" I looked up at Jacob to see he kneeled next to me. His eyes held this apologetic look as he grabbed my hand. "I am soo sorry,"

I cried as I threw myself against him. I sobbed into his shirt as he hugged me closer. "Alice was behind it all," I cried. "She had a video."

"I know," Jacob soothed as he rubbed comforting circles on my back.

"She was in love with you. She wanted to be with you." I cried.

"Shh," Jacob said as he looked me into the eyes. "It's over,"

"Is it really over?" I asked as I allowed him to pull me up.

"She will not hurt you anymore," Jacob said as he placed his hands on my face. I cried throwing myself into his arms again. I look down at Alice's body one last time.

"I hope you burn in hell."

"So whatever happened to the twins?" Sixteen-year-old Jennifer Weber said. Her along with two other teenagers, where sitting in the back of the salon, Belle's Salon, surrounding a senior woman. The sun was setting, and it was moments until the salon would be closing.

"Thanks to Isabella's cop friend they were able to set up a roadblock in time before Dr. Platt could get too far."

"That's great!" Peyton Stanley said.

"Yea, I'm glad they reunited with their parents?" Peyton's boyfriend, Aiden Crowley, said.

"Wait, so did Jacob and Bella stay together?" Jennifer asked.

"I sure hope so," Peyton said intertwining her fingers between's Aiden's. "Clearly they're perfect for each other!"

The woman laughed. "Now that my child is something I do believe so myself."

"Mom, please stop with those ridiculous stories." A middle-aged woman said to the senior woman. "Please don't listen to her. She is delusional."

The teens laughed at the woman before standing up. "We have to go anyway," Aiden said placing his arm around Peyton's shoulder, pulling her closer. "Thanks for that awesome story!" He turned to face Peyton pulling her in a kiss. "It made up for having to wait for you to get your hair done."

"I'll say," Peyton said. "Best Salon ever." They both walked out leaving Jennifer with the elder.

"See you later, Mrs. Swan."

The elder woman smiled as the crow feet on her face deepened. "Goodbye, Jennifer."

Once all the teens where gone, the middle age woman approached the elder.

"Mom, what did I tell you about telling people that disturbing story. It will run off the customers."

The elder woman waved her off before grabbing her walker to stand up. "Girl no one even believes its a true story. You tell them I'm delusional so much; they are starting to buy it."

"Well, I'm sorry mom. I don't want to relive that frightening experience." She said as she walked toward the salon door. She closed the door locking it.

"Yea, I know baby." The elder said. She grabbed the broom, attempting the help clean the salon. "I'm sorry, Bella."

Bella sighed as she walked over to Renee. "It's ok mom," She said as she grabbed the broom from her. "I got it, mom; you should rest."

Renee nodded as she walked toward the room we held in the shop. Bella started to sweep the cut hair on the floor.

"Hey mom," Bella looked up to see two young men, walking toward her.

"Hey babies!" she put the broom down, rushing to hug Jayden and Dylen. The twins have grown into handsome young men. Jayden is pursuing his dreams to become a lawyer, just like his father. Dylen, on the other hand, he is trying to become a musician. He's currently enrolled in Juilliard.

"Happy Birthday, mom," Jayden said as hugging her first. He handed her a huge box poorly wrapped.

"Thank you, baby," She said grabbing the box.

"Happy birthday," Dylen said pulling his mother into a tight hug as well. He handed her a thin gift wrapped in white gifting paper with musical notes all over.

"Thanks, Baby," Bella said looking at Dylen's gift. "Let me find out this is your album."

A huge smile spread across his face. "The label gave my album a release date,"

"What! Oh my God baby, that's great!"

"Congrats mane," Jayden said as he smacked Dylen on the shoulder.

"Thanks," Dylen said.

"This is the greatest gift ever!" Bella said hugging Dylen again.

"What about me?" All head turned toward the voice. A young boy walked into the room with a small white gift bag in his hands.

"Oh," Bella said as she walked toward him. "I don't think you can top that Masen,"

"Oh really," Masen said, holding up the bag toward Bella. "I think my gift is pretty great."

"Great enough to beat your brother's album getting released?" Bella asked placing her hands on her hips.

Masen is Bella's fourteen-year-old son. It turns out, Alice was lying about the pregnancy. Bella was in fact pregnant. Four months after her kidnapping, Bella gave birth to a very preemie baby boy. Weighing at only two pounds, Masen Black was born. It was a rough journey, but here he is. When Bella decided to name him after Edward, no one was surprised. If it weren't for Edward, Bella would be gone. She wouldn't have watched Jayden and Dylen grow up, and she wouldn't have given birth to Masen.

"Mmm," Masen said as he placed his hand on his chin. "Why don't you open it and see." He handed her the small bag.

"Fine," she said as she grabbed the bag, pulling out a small box. She opened it to see a small diamond wedding band. "What is this?"

"Here mom, Open mines," Jayden said, bringing attention to his gift.

Bella ripped open the gift. Inside was a creme silky spaghetti strap cocktail dress. It is beautiful.

"Jayden,"

"Read the note, Mom,"

She picked up the note inside the box. Put this on, and meet us in the backyard of the salon.

"What is going on?"

"Mom put on the dress," Masen said.

Bella shook her head before heading to the bathroom. She quickly put on the dress before admiring herself in the mirror. The dress is beautiful. It fit her amazingly.

She walked out of the bathroom to see her boys were no longer here. Instead was replaced by her best friend, Rose. She's dressed in a light pink strapless dress, with beautiful flowers detail designs.

"What are you guys doing?" Bella asked as she approached Rose.

She handed her a pair of silver pumps before making her sit down in one of the chairs. "Jacob came up with the perfect birthday gift," Rose said as she started to pin Bella's hair up.

"Really, and what's that?"

"You'll see," Rose said as she finished the hair.

"So, who is all at this little surprise?" Bella asked as she started to put on the heels Rose gave here.

"You'll see," Rose said as she led her to the back door of the salon.

"What can you tell me?"

Rose opened the door. When Bella stepped outside, he heart started pounding frantically.

Several of chairs crowded the yard. Each chair occupied by someone she knew. Everyone was standing as they watch Bella and Rose walk out the door. Ed Sherman's 'Thinking out loud" played loudly on the stereo. At the end of the aisle stood Jacob. He had on a pair of dark blue jeans and a black blazer with a white flower pinned to the jacket. Next to him was Dylen, Jayden, and Masen. The smile Jacob sported caused Bella's heart to swell with happiness.

When she finally made it to Jacob, she couldn't stop the tears from falling. "Oh my god Jacob," Bella cried as Jacob grabbed her hand in his. "What the hell?"

Everyone laughed at Bella's outburst. "I love you, Bella."

"I love you too," Bella cried, unable to hide the tears. Jacob wiped the tears from her face.

"Will you marry me again?" Jacob asked, never looking away from Bella's eyes.

"Yes," Bella said.

Everyone cheered. Bella's heart soared with glee.

Jacob looked at the pastor. "She said yes," Everyone laughed. "Ready,"

The pastor nodded before looking at the crowd. "Today is a celebration. A celebration of love, of commitment, of friendship, of family, and of two people who are in it for forever.

"You don't have to have a ceremony to have a marriage. And when you think about it, the whole thing is weird, right? You're standing in front of a lot of people, looking fancy, and being stared at by pretty much everyone who has meant anything to you."

"So why do we do it? Why this moment?"

"Because despite all of our differences, love is what we all share. It's the great unifier — our one universal truth. That no matter who we are, where we've come from, what we believe, we know this one thing: love is what we're doing right. That's why you are both standing here."

Jacob squeezed Bella's hand.

"And that's why you all are here to watch them stand up here. I'm here — we're all here — because we want those moments for you. We're here to hope with you, to support you, to be proud of you, and to remind you that love isn't happily ever after, love is the experience of writing your story.

"It's not one moment — not even this moment. It's every moment. Big ones like saying "I love you," moving in together, getting engaged, starting a beautiful family — but mostly a million little ones that come in between the big moments. Falling asleep next to one another, making dinner together, spending holidays with your families, getting a big hug when you get home from work.

"These everyday moments fuse together into one significant experience. And even though this experience is so incredible, words fail us when we try and explain it. That's just the way it is with love — it's meant to be felt, not described.

"But trying to describe love is one of our favorite pastimes. We use the words we have to write stories, and poems, and songs about love. And even though we describe love in different ways and love can look different from one person to the next — we all know it when we see it.

"And we see it here."

Jacob smiled lovingly at Bella as he wiped tears from her eyes.

"Jacob and Isabella-" The pastor started.

"Bella!" The entire crowd said. Bella laughed through the tears.

"My apologies, Bella. They are here to marry each other. So I call upon them now to state their promise before this group: the pledges that will bind them together.

"Jacob, as you look into Bella's eyes, please say your vows."

Jacob looks into Bella's eyes, as he squeezed her hands. "I'm here today in front of our family, our friends and you, my wife, to reaffirm my marriage vows. 20 years ago we stood in our church and said words written for us. Today I am not merely taking a vow; I am giving you a vow and a promise in words that are my own. My love for you has grown over the last 20 years. There have been times when I believed the problems before us, were too big to overcome, too painful to forgive, and was ready to give up your love.

"I have since learned that I love you more than I could ever have imagined and that it is enough to overcome and forgive the broken promises in our past. Today I give in to that love and the overwhelming desire to recommit myself to you. I love you more today because of all that we have been through and because of your willingness to move forward with renewed commitment. I promise, from this day forward, to love and trust you even more as time passes. I promise to be there for you when you are sick, hurt, in need of comfort or when you just want to share your day. I promise to make you feel needed and appreciated for all that you bring to my life. Today I stand in front of our family, our friends and you, my wife and promise to give you all of the best of me for as long as we both live."

Not a single eye in the yard was dry.

"Bella, as you look into Jacob's eyes, please say your vows."

"I'm sorry, I didn't write anything," Bella said as she wiped her eyes.

"Speak from the heart."

Bella let out a deep breath before looking into Jacob's eyes. He smiled slightly squeezing my hands again. I found myself getting lost in his eyes.

"Jacob, I love you, so much. Words can't explain it.

"In the past, I have taken you for granted. I have put others before you. I have done things I am not proud of. And I have often been wrong. On the other hand, I have always loved you and stood beside you. I look at you and see the rest of my life in front of my eyes. I believe in this marriage more strongly than ever. I am here today to move forward with a renewed commitment to you, our love, and our lives together. I pledge that from this day forward you will be my number one priority. I promise to be there for you in all that life brings our way. It is because of you that I am here today and I vow to give you all that I am and all that I have for the rest of our lives together. This is my solemn promise.

"I give you a new promise, a new wife, yet not so new; and a new love from the heart that has loved you for 20 years and will love you for as many more.

"Once before I have stood with you before family and friends; once again I take your hand as my partner. I commit myself to you again as YOUR wife and Jacob I take you this day and for all days as my husband. I love you."

"Jacob, please place the ring on her finger." Bella placed her hand in Jacob's, and he placed the ring on her finger. "That is the official ceremony of Mr. And Mrs. Black, Jacob you may kiss your wife."

Jacob didn't hesitate to pull Bella into a passionate kiss. Everyone cheered.

When I say I love you, please believe it's true.
When I say forever, know I'll never leave you.
When I say goodbye, promise me you won't cry,
Because the day I'll be saying that will be the day I die.
