Bella's pov
He left….They all left. I missed them all. I missed the way he kissed me, the way he whispered my name. I lost them all in no less than five minutes. I waited and waited for them to come back for him to come back. But he never did. They never did.
When they left I couldn't function. I didn't eat, sleep, or talk hell I barely moved. It was like that for months. Charlie did everything he could but nothing ever worked. He threatened to send me to Jacksonville but I couldn't leave.
That was the day I decided to be normal again. I told myself that I wouldn't leave like he did. I was going to live my life like he wanted me to. I knew it wasn't going to be easy but I was going to try for Charlie.
"Morning Dad" I announced. He looked up from his paper shocked.
"Umm…Morning Bells" He mumbled. I grabbed a bowl of cereal and ate breakfast. Something I haven't done in a longtime.
"What are your plans for the weekend Dad?" I asked already knowing that he was going fishing with Billy but hey we needed something to talk about.
"Fishing with Billy but I can stay if you want" He stated
"No you go fishing" I told him
"Are…are you feeling ok Bells?" He asked
"Yeah. Why?" I asked
"Oh Ok. I was just asking." He said
"Well you have fun with Billy today." I said while getting up to clean out my bowl
"What are you going to do?" He asked sounding kind of worried
"I think I might go for a little walk." I told him truthfully
"Bells…"
"Dad it's ok. I need this I need to get out. I'll be back I promise." I interrupted him knowing that he was worried because the last time I went for a walk Ed…he left.
"Ok Bella. I trust you" He sighed
I went up to my room and packed a small bag that I was going to take with me. I needed to find the meadow. I needed to accept that he that they weren't coming back. I felt that I would find whatever it was that I needed to move on there at our meadow.
With Charlie long gone I got in my truck and made my way to the forest where the meadow would be at. I walked the familiar path. I tripped a couple of times but nothing I couldn't handle. Just when I was about to give up my search I found it.
It was as beautiful as I remembered it. The flowers were growing and the little bit of sunlight was shinning threw the clouds. I took a deep breath and made my way to the center of the meadow. I pulled out the blanket from my bag and set it on the wet ground.
This was it. I found it. Whatever it was that I needed. I felt calm here. Content even.
"It's over. It's all finally over." I whispered to myself. I didn't feel that sadness that came along with remembering them. I sighed happily.
"Isabella" I hear my name. I got up and turned around. There he stood. There stood Laurent.
"Laurent" I whispered softly knowing that he would hear me
"Isabella what are you doing out here all alone?" He asked.
He came closer to me and that was when I got a good look at him. His eyes weren't bloody red as that night in the baseball clearing. They were golden like the Cullens.
"Your eyes" I stated ignoring his question
"Yes. After that terrible night in the clearing I realized that I didn't want to be like that. Like James. I meet up with the Denali coven and switched to their diet." He told me
I wasn't scared to be with him. I relaxed a bit. He was now standing next to me.
"What happened Isabella?" He asked softly
"Please call me Bella" I said
"Bella..." He whispered
I sighed. What's the point in lying? I began telling him what happened after he left. James. My eighteenth birthday. The forest behind my house. Them leaving me. Everything. He listened carefully.
"Oh Bella that's horrible. I'm sorry." He said. I nodded. He got up quickly he stood in front of me.
"What's wrong?" I asked
"Shhh"
Laurent growled at the trees. He crouched down. I didn't no what was happening and I was about to ask him again when I saw something moving in the trees. A figure. Someone was coming towards us.
Next thing I knew she came out of the trees…
