Summary: Set in New Moon, Edward's plan to tell Bella he doesn't love her anymore is immediately shut down by Alice who thinks that instead Edward should write Bella a song that tells her how he's feeling and gives her a momentum to remember him by. What she doesn't expect is for him to simply leave it in her car and not look back.
A/N So, I got an idea for a new story! It's going to be a little mini story and then after its done I'll get back to Law and Order: Cullen Style and Comfortable In Your Own Skin hopefully. No need to fear I'll finish the other two stories.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, including any of its characters, settings or plot; nor, do I own Already Gone by the amazing Kelly Clarkson, no matter how much I wish it.
Enjoy!

As I was waiting for Edward outside the Gym, I knew that today was going to be the last day of this awkward, silent-treatment he was giving me. He was going to talk to me about what was going through his head and we were going to work through it, together, like we always do, just as soon as he got here to walk me to my car.
Where is that guy?
He was never late, ever. Every day like clockwork he would be here waiting to walk me to my car. Today, he was nowhere in sight. That's odd. I hope nothing's wrong.
Well I'm not going to find out anything by just standing around waiting for him to show up. Once I get home, I'll call the house and see what's going on. It must be serious if Edward forgot to tell me he wasn't going to be here. I hope everyone's okay.
Walking out to the parking lot, I looked both ways to check my surroundings. It would after all be just like me to get hit by a car or attacked by some creature at the exact time that Edward isn't with me. I snorted, it's not like that hasn't already happened countless times.
I opened the door to my truck and climbed in, throwing my backpack and books onto the passenger seat without a second glance. Maybe instead of going home I should just go straight to the house. Charlie won't be home for a while and I can actually see what's going on instead of getting the kiddie version.
Driving out of the parking lot, I drove to the mansion, to my family. I sincerely hope nothing's wrong, mainly because if something is wrong I'm going to be incredibly pissed off that they didn't think to tell me anything.

The first thing I noticed when I pulled into the driveway was that none of the other cars were anywhere in sight. No doubt they're in the garage. I smiled, I really am becoming paranoid. I should've realized hanging out with so many vampires would have side effects. Damn and here I thought the side effects would be that I started to hate garlic or my aversion to blood would go away. Nope, just paranoid… who would've guessed.
Laughing at myself I got out of the car and headed inside. I had no doubt they already knew I was here, so I didn't bother knocking. Walking right in, I called out, "Hello? It's Bella, where are you guys?"
I shrugged when I got no response. I'll probably walk in on something I'll regret later when I go upstairs… I thought as I took the stairs two at a time.
First I checked Edward's room, everything was in its place, but there was no Edward. Maybe he went hunting? Next I checked Alice and Jaspers, the whole room was stripped, nothing left but a mattress and bed frame. Did Alice decide to go with Jasper? Pain gripped my heart, I knew I would do the same thing for Edward, but the fact that she didn't say goodbye stung.
I was about to check Rosalie and Emmett's room when I realized that if I went in there Rosalie would probably kill me, literally. I wasn't close to her like I was Alice and Edward and I don't want to invade her space. Instead I walk up to Carlisle and Esme's room, they won't mind. I'm at their door faster than you can say Vampire Speed, I chuckle. Opening the door a crack I take a look inside. Everything's gone, not even the mattress and bed frame are there. The room is completely bare of everything.
Panic. I can't feel anything. Just panic. I race back to Emmett and Rosalie's room. The door opens. It's bare. Pure panic. My breathing becomes shallow. Where are they? Edward's room is still here! Edward is still here! They abandoned him. They abandoned me. Where are they? Panic.
I race downstairs. I check every room. Everything's there. Nothings out of place. Maybe I'm wrong. I check the garage. All gone. All the cars, gone. Where? When? How?
Why?!
"Where is everyone?!" I scream at the top of my lungs. Edward must have gone to find them and bring them back. Why didn't he tell me? He panicked. That's it. He panicked just like I am now. I need to calm down. They'll be back. They have to be back.
Was it me? Did I drive them out? Edward needs me. He must be so sad right now. I have to find Edward.
I run back to my car and start the engine. My breathing is erratic. I need to calm down before I drive. Sensible me kicks in. Deep breaths. Breathe in. Breathe out. Music. I need music.
My hand fumbles with the stereo. The one Emmett installed. Panic. I hit play. Not bothering to put in any particular music.
"A song to my Bella," Edward's voice fills the car and my heart stops for a moment. "I'm sorry, love."
I know. Before he even starts. I know.
It's over.
Remember all the things we
wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always
meant to say goodbye
Even with our fists held high
It never
would've worked out right
We were never meant for do or die
I
didn't want us to burn out
I didn't come here to hurt you, now I
can't stop
I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where
we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you
couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm
already gone
Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that
you'll find another
That doesn't always make you want to
cry
Started with a perfect kiss then we could feel the poison
set in
Perfect couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I
love you so, I love you enough to let you go
I want you to
know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's
gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me
better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone
I'm
already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you
know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no
moving on so I'm already gone
Already gone, already gone,
already gone
Already gone, already gone, already gone,
yeah
Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories
they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
I want
you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road
someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved
me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone
I'm
already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you
know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no
moving on so I'm already gone
Sobs wracked through my body. It's over and I don't even get a say in it. He's already gone. There's no way I can possibly catch him.
There's no up, no down. There's no today, no tomorrow. I'm stuck in a single moment of time. All I can feel is pain. This is hell. Edward was always so worried he would condemn me to hell if he turned me, but he condemned me anyway. Eternity in just this. My eternity is only pain. I can't breathe. I think I've forgotten how. I can't see anything through the river coming out of my eyes.
I love you too Edward. So much. Why'd you have to go? In all my life I had never wished for anything more than for him to be here. With me, holding me. Drying my tears. Telling me that it'll be okay, he's changed his mind. He's not going anywhere. Of course he's not. He's not a coward. He's loves me enough to stick it out with me. To work through all of our obstacles.
My head pans back and forth. Looking for him, waiting for him to come out of the shadows and comfort me. But he's not there. He's already gone.
"You coward!" I wail, "You jerk, you inconsiderate bastard! Come back!" Come back. Come back. Come back. Come back.
"COME BACK!"
Remember all the things we wanted
It starts playing again
Now all our memories they're
haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye
"LIKE FUCK, EDWARD CULLEN!" I screamed, tuning out the rest of the song and pulling the car into drive. I'm going to find you and when I do you're going to wish you had said "I'm already back."
Denali Coven, here I come.
I am going to kill Edward Cullen.
At that moment a kid passed by on his bike and nearly fell off as he looked at the girl in the big, red truck. There was fire in her eyes. He had never believed in monsters more than he did at that moment.
"MOMMY!"
A/N So as always review and tell me what you think. That was just like a preface. The rest of the chapters will be longer than that, I have an outline and I'm thinking the story is going to be somewhere between seven and ten chapters.
