I DIDN¨T GET VERY FAR BEFORE DRIVING BECAME IMPOSsible。 
    When I couldn¨t see anymore�察�I let my tires find the rough shoulder and rolled slowly to a stop。 I slumped 
over on the seat and allowed the weakness I¨d fought in Jacob¨s room crush me。 It was worse that I¨d thought 
! the force of it took me by surprise。 Yes�察�I had been right to hide this from Jacob。 No one should ever see 
this。 
    But I wasn¨t alone for very long ! just exactly long enough for Alice to see me here�察�and then the few 
minutes it took him to arrive。 The door creaked open�察�and he pulled me into his arms。 
    At first it was worse。 Because there was that smaller part of me ! smaller�察�but getting louder and angrier 
every minute�察�screaming at the rest of me ! that craved a different set of arms。 So then there was fresh guilt 
to season the pain。 
    He didn¨t say anything�察�he just let me sob until I began to blubber out Charlie¨s name。 
    ^Are you really ready to go home�拭院�he asked doubtfully。 
    I managed to convey�察�after several attempts�察�that it wasn¨t going to get any better anytime soon。 I needed 
to get past Charlie before it got late enough for him to call Billy。 
    So he drove me home ! for once not even getting close to my truck¨s internal speed limit ! keeping one 
arm wrapped tightly around me。 The whole way�察�I fought for control。 It seemed to be a doomed effort at first�察�
but I didn¨t give up。 Just a few seconds�察�I told myself。 Just time for a few excuses�察�or a few lies�察�and then I 
could break down again。 I had to be able to do that much。 I scrambled around in my head�察�searching 
desperately for a reserve of strength。 
    There was just enough for me to quiet the sobs ! hold them back but not end them。 The tears didn¨t 
slow。 I couldn¨t seem to find any handle to even begin to work with those。 
    ^Wait for me upstairs�察院�I mumbled when we were in front of the house。 
    He hugged me closer for one minute�察�and then he was gone。 
    Once inside�察�I headed straight for the stairs。 
    ^Bella�拭院�Charlie called after me from his usual place on the sofa as I walked by。 
    I turned to look at him without speaking。 His eyes bugged wide�察�and he lurched to his feet。 
    ^What happened�拭�Is Jacob 。 。 。 �拭院�he demanded。 
    I shook my head furiously�察�trying to find my voice。 ^He¨s fine�察�he¨s fine�察院�I promised�察�my voice low and 
husky。 And Jacob was fine�察�physically�察�which is all Charlie was worried about at the moment。 
    ^But what happened�拭院�He grabbed my shoulders�察�his eyes still anxious and wide。 ^What happened to 
you�拭院�
    I must look worse than I¨d imagined。 
    ^Nothing�察�Dad。 I 。 。 。 just had to talk to Jacob about 。 。 。 some things that were hard。 I¨m fine。 ̄ 
    The anxiety calmed�察�and was replaced by disapproval。 
    ^Was this really the best time�拭院�he asked。 
    ^Probably not�察�Dad�察�but I didn¨t have any alternatives ! it just got to the point where I had to choose。 。 。 
。 Sometimes�察�there isn¨t any way to compromise。 ̄ 
    He shook his head slowly。 ^How did he handle it�拭院�
    I didn¨t answer。 
    He looked at my face for a minute�察�and then nodded。 That must have been answer enough。 
    ^I hope you didn¨t mess up his recovery。 ̄ 
    ^He¨s a quick healer�察院�I mumbled。 
    Charlie sighed。 
    I could feel the control slipping。 
    ^I¨ll be in my room�察院�I told him�察�shrugging out from underneath his hands。 
    ^¨Kay�察院�Charlie agreed。 He could probably see the waterworks starting to escalate。 Nothing scared 
Charlie worse than tears。 

     I made my way to my room�察�blind and stumbling。 
     Once inside�察�I fought with the clasp on my bracelet�察�trying to undo it with shaking fingers。 
     ^No�察�Bella�察院�Edward whispered�察�capturing my hands。 ^It¨s part of who you are。 ̄ 
     He pulled me into the cradle of his arms as the sobs broke free again。 
     This longest of days seemed to stretch on and on and on。 I wondered if it would ever end。 
     But�察�though the night dragged relentlessly�察�it was not the worst night of my life。 I took comfort from that。 
And I was not alone。 There was a great deal of comfort in that�察�too。 
     Charlie¨s fear of emotional outbursts kept him from checking on me�察�though I was not quiet ! he 
probably got no more sleep than I did。 
     My hindsight seemed unbearably clear tonight。 I could see every mistake I¨d made�察�every bit of harm I¨d 
done�察�the small things and the big things。 Each pain I¨d caused Jacob�察�each wound I¨d given Edward�察�stacked 
up into neat piles that I could not ignore or deny。 
     And I realized that I¨d been wrong all along about the magnets。 It had not been Edward and Jacob that 
I¨d been trying to force together�察�it was the two parts of myself�察�Edward¨s Bella and Jacob¨s Bella。 But they 
could not exist together�察�and I never should have tried。 
     I¨d done so much damage。 
     At some point in the night�察�I remembered the promise I¨d made to myself early this morning ! that I 
would never make Edward see me shed another tear for Jacob Black。 The thought brought on a round of 
hysteria which frightened Edward more than the weeping。 But it passed�察�too�察�when it had run its course。 
     Edward said little�察�he just held me on the bed and let me ruin his shirt�察�staining it with salt water。 
     It took longer than I thought it would for that smaller�察�broken part of me to cry herself out。 It happened�察�
though�察�and I was eventually exhausted enough to sleep。 Unconsciousness did not bring full relief from the 
pain�察�just a numbing�察�dulling ease�察�like medicine。 Made it more bearable。 But it was still there�察�I was aware of 
it�察�even asleep�察�and that helped me to make the adjustments I needed to make。 
     The morning brought with it�察�if not a brighter outlook�察�as least a measure of control�察�some acceptance。 
Instinctively�察�I knew that the new tear in my heart would always ache。 That was just going to be a part of me 
now。 Time would make it easier ! that¨s what everyone always said。 But I didn¨t care if time healed me or 
not�察�so long as Jacob could get better。 Could be happy again。 
     When I woke up�察�there was no disorientation。 I opened my eyes ! finally dry ! and met his anxious 
gaze。 
     ^Hey�察院�I said。 My voice was hoarse。 I cleared my throat。 
     He didn¨t answer。 He watched me�察�waiting for it to start。 
     ^No�察�I¨m fine�察院�I promised。 ^That won¨t happen again。 ̄ 
     His eyes tightened at my words。 
     ^I¨m sorry that you had to see that�察院�I said。 ^That wasn¨t fair to you。 ̄ 
     He put his hands on either side of my face。 
     ^Bella 。 。 。 are you sure�拭�Did you make the right choice�拭�I¨ve never seen you in so much pain ! ̄ His 
voice broke on the last word。 
     But I had known worse pain。 
     I touched his lips。 ^Yes。 ̄ 
     ^I don¨t know。 。 。 。 ̄ His brow creased。 ^If it hurts you so much�察�how can it possibly be the right thing for 
you�拭院�
     ^Edward�察�I know who I can¨t live without。 ̄ 
     ^But 。 。 。 ̄ 
     I shook my head。 ^You don¨t understand。 You may be brave enough or strong enough to live without me�察�
if that¨s what¨s best。 But I could never be that self´sacrificing。 I have to be with you。 It¨s the only way I can 
live。 ̄ 
     He still looked dubious。 I should never have let him stay with me last night。 But I had needed him so much。 
。 。 。 
     ^Hand me that book�察�will you�拭院�I asked�察�pointing over his shoulder。 
     His eyebrows pulled together in confusion�察�but he gave it to me quickly。 
     ^This again�拭院�he asked。 

    ^I just wanted to find this one part I remembered 。 。 。 to see how she said it。 。 。 。 ̄ I flipped through the 
book�察�finding the page I wanted easily。 The corner was dog´eared from the many times I¨d stopped here。 
^Cathy¨s a monster�察�but there were a few things she got right�察院�I muttered。 I read the lines quietly�察�mostly to 
myself。 ^`If all else perished�察�and he remained�察�I should still continue to be�察�and ifall else remained�察�and he 
were annihilated�察�the universe would turn to a mighty stranger。¨ ̄ I nodded�察�again to myself。 ^I know exactly 
what she means。 And I know who I can¨t live without。 ̄ 
    Edward took the book from my hands and flipped it across the room ! it landed with a light thud on my 
desk。 He wrapped his arms around my waist。 
    A small smile lit his perfect face�察�though worry still lined his forehead。 ^Heathcliff had his moments�察�too�察院�
he said。 He didn¨t need the book to get it word perfect。 He pulled me closer and whispered inmy ear�察 亜�I 
cannot live without my life� �I cannot live without my soul� � ̄ 
    ^Yes�察院�I said quietly。 ^That¨s my point。 ̄ 
    ^Bella�察�I can¨t stand for you to be miserable。 Maybe 。 。 。 ̄ 
    ^No�察�Edward。 I¨ve made a real mess of things�察�and I¨m going to have to live with that。 But I know what I 
want and what I need 。 。 。 and what I¨m going to do now。 ̄ 
    ^What are we going to do now�拭院�
    I smiled just a bit at his correction�察�and then I sighed。 ^We are going to go see Alice。 ̄ 


Alice was on the bottom porch step�察�too hyper to wait for us inside。 She looked about to break into a 
celebration dance��
