--------------------
It had been 3 days since Charlie had told me the news. Alice had talked to Billy and he'd agree that she should and could accompany me onto the reservation for my sanity and safety.

"Bella are you ready?" Alice said cracking my door and peaking in.

"No." I said dully from my bed.

"Well it's time to go." she stepped into the rooming looking as elegant as ever. I sighed in frustratin and dread as pulled my hand pulling me up from the bed and down the stairs. I hadn't been out of my room in days. Alice brought me food and drink up so I didn't die up there, but I didn't really care either way.

"We'll see you there, Charlie. Billy wants Bella and I to stop by his house before we go to the funeral home." Alice said waving him goodbye and me out the door.

"And Charlie," She paused for a moment forming her words "be careful. Please?"

He smiled and agreed and we shuffled out the door and to the care.

"So, have you decided you're never going to speak again?" Alice said once we had pulled out of the driveway. I knew she was only trying to help but it didn't.

"You do know you're going to have to talk to Billy. Even if I have to make you."
In the past 3 days the only thing I'd said was 'no' and I'd only said it once. Who's to say I could even talk anymore. I probably could, but why test it. Why ruin such perfect silence.

'Bella' I heard Jacob say clear as Alice's word.

"Jacob?" I said alertly looking around, but he wasn't there. My mind was tricking me again.
Torturing me for what I could have prevented.

"Well, that's not what I had in mind. But it's a start" Alice joked trying to perk me up "It's going to be okay, Bella. It's just going to take time."

I curled back into a ball, my feet on the dashboard and my knees to my chest. I let myself cry again till we crossed over onto the reservation. I knew I had to pull myself together as best I could, if no one else but for Billy.

I watched him anxiously as he wheeled out into the yard. I felt the car stop and worked to get my legs to moving again. Alice opened the door and held her hand out to me. I grasped it and stepped onto the grass, my legs spilling me onto the ground moments later.

"I'm sorry" I said looking up at Billy from the ground. I don't know why I'd said it but it just seemed right.

"You've never been that coordinated Bella" He smiled. I felt awkward and unsure. I'd known Billy most of my life but nothing I could think of seemed like something he'd want to hear.

"So, what's the news chief!" Alice said breaking our awkward silence.

"Well, the" he choked on the word 'funeral', "is going to have maximum protection."

"Billy, I know this might be hard to talk about but," She paused biting her lip lightly "what did he look like?"

I shot a glare at her, angry she'd ask him something like that. We already knew what he looked like, how dare she ask him that.

"I understand." Billy said calmly "He had long dark hair, red eyes, and was about 6 foot 4 inches"

"What?" I asked surprised "You're sure?"

I saw pain wear across his face for a moment

"As sure as I'm breathing, Bells" He said after a moment of contemplation "I was on the porch, watching some birds when he dropped from one of the trees. He asked me where Jacob was and I told him I didn't know. He told me not to lie and struck me. I fell out of my chair, then I heard the boys. Paul, Jacob, and Embry had been in the garage working on Embry's car."

Billy let out a heavy sigh looking to the ground. Alice and I both hanging on his every word, as if he were painting a fairytale picture of a foreign land.

"I heard them fighting and shouting. Jacob was only worried about protecting me. Thinking he'd come for me, I suppose. I heard it as Embry was injured first. Then Paul. Finally everything was quiet. I guess I knew then what had happened. All at once everything went dark and I woke up several hours later in the hospital."

My gut wrenched as I played it out in my mind, imagining the things Billy didn't see.

"I need to go make a call" Alice said walking to the car. We were both silent for a moment, before I couldn't stand it anymore. I needed to say something before my thoughts killed me.

"I'm so sorry, Billy. If there's any-" He stopped me mid-sentence.

"There isn't anything to do, Bella. I know that I won't have to live with this pain for much longer.

But you. You and the wolf pack will have to endure this much longer. And I know just how hopeless it may feel sometimes, but you can't blame yourself. I know you, and I know how you think. If anything I'm sorry for your lose. I know you loved him"

My mind reeled at his words. He could have said anything else. He could have blamed me. He could hate me. None of that could have hurt worse then this. I didn't deserve his sympathy.

"We need to be getting to the funeral home now. The service is starting in a hour and I know you both want your private time with him" Alice said from over my shoulder.

When had she come up behind me, I wondered. Would it be that easy for James when he came for me? I knew I would deserve what he gave me when he came for me.
