The picture was one of my favorites. It was black and white, and James was smiling. It was taken not long after we got married. I remember when I took it. He hated me taking his picture, and it was the one time I was able to surprise him with the candid.
“You had to have sent him to me. There's no other way to explain it. He gets me. The same way that you used to.” I could feel the tears prickling in my eyes. For the first time in a very long time, I was pissed that James killed himself.
“This isn't easy. You took everything away from me for so long. You took my heart, my soul, my drive, and my will to live. The only thing that kept me going was the little boy you left. Fuck you! You took the easy way out. You didn't even know about him. How could you?” I yelled. I chucked the picture across the room and I heard the breaking of the glass. I cringed and slid down the wall. I could hear my phone going off, but I decided to ignore it. I turned my iPod up as loud as it would go and just lost myself in the music.
One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men started and I broke down. I got up, walked out of the playroom, and went to my room. I sat on the bed and picked up my phone. I looked at it for a minute before calling Emmett. I knew he would probably have a hangover, but it was something I was risking. I needed him at this moment and there was nothing that could stop me. I pressed two and waited.
“Bells,” Emmett said. I could hear the hangover in his voice. I sniffled a little bit.
“Em, I need you. I can't. I just. I don't know.” I started sobbing and couldn't stop.
“Bella, what's wrong? Did Jasper hurt you?” He was going into brother bear mode. I knew if I didn't say anything, then Emmett would be going after Jasper. I whispered the only thing to get him to stop.
“James.”
I also posted a really good one on Twitter. It said I'm just attached to his penis and a warm body in my bed.
Like I said in many reviews, I'm working very hard on Chapter 3. I would love to get it posted ASAP. Outside circumstances may change that. But for now, we're gold. I'm going back to working on Chapter 3 right now. Hope you enjoyed the teaser.
