This is my first story ever, so I do hope that someone (hopefully a few of you) will like this story and if not, I will be happy to read your criticism. I also wrote Charlie and Renee as a married couple, simple because it's easier for me. Also please bear in mind that this is my first story ever, and please do not be completely harsh.

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, as much as I wish I did.

I always thought that everything will work out.

I always thought that we would be together forever.

I guess there's a higher being that won't allow my happiness to transpire.

You could say I loved him, but who knows if I'll have the chance to tell him that?

Especially since I'm with another.

"I won!" I shouted out in glee.

"What the-"Emmett sputtered, "that's not fair, you cheated!"

"Well I digress," I replied smugly. Finally was I able to beat Emmett in Twister.

"But, but," stuttered Emmett, "Rose! You saw her, didn't she cheat?"

Rose sat on the couch reading the newest issue of Vogue. "Stop being such a baby Emmett, you can't help it if you lost to your little sister. Although, it IS pretty funny. I thought you were more flexible than that."

And there came the mental image that I tried unsuccessfully to squash from my mind. "Ew Rose! I do NOT need to have mental images of my brother and you "getting it on." That is just wrong!" I cried out, however the damage was done.

Emmett decided to prolong my torture by walking over to Rose and tried to start a huge make-out session with her. Thankfully Rose decided to be nice to me, and slapped Emmett on his head; all the while muttering to herself about "preserving your little sister's innocence…"

"Honestly, must you two act so immature?" my mother called from the kitchen.

"We're sorry," Emmett and I replied simultaneously. No matter what, we loved to annoy the living hell out of each other. We can't help it, it's part of the big brother and little sister unspoken contract.

"Alright everyone, enough playing games. Come on in and eat!" my mom replied.

Emmett, Rose, and I rose from our spots and walked to the kitchen table; there my mom laid out our favorite meal: lasagna, garlic breadsticks and green salad.

"Mom, no way! Lasagna for real? You're the best!" Emmett shouted and ran up to my mom and wrapped his arms around her in a bear hug. I'm surprised she was still able to breathe, Emmett likes to have his hugs crush the persons bones.

"Charlie, dinner's ready!" my mom called out to my dad in his study.

"All right, I'm coming. I just had to finish looking over a few reports." I heard the click of the study door and footsteps walking closer to the kitchen. Once my dad walked in, he sat at the table and we all followed suit. There we proceeded on eating our dinner. Emmett was telling a boisterous story that happened about a kid in one of his classes; while Rose and I were discussing our plans for the summer. At that moment the phone rang and all conversation ceased.

"I wonder who that could be…" my dad asked to himself somewhat absentmindedly. He picked up the ringing telephone and answered. Emmett, my mom and I knew we weren't supposed to talk while my dad was on the phone, because most of his calls were from work, and sometimes he would have to leave dinner and go to his study to work. However, the call didn't sound like it came from work. All I could hear was a bunch of mumblings. I looked questioningly to my mom, but she was just as clueless as I was. Then we heard my dad say, "Alright, I'll tell them. Ok thank you, goodbye. I'll talk to you soon." There my dad clicked the end button and set the phone on the countertop. I noticed that once he sat at the table, he looked weary and somewhat anxious.

"Charlie? Sweetie, who was it?" my mom questioned.

"It was from England."

My mom gasped loudly and went around her chair to hug me, Emmett looked frightened as I sat there numbly.

I swallowed loudly and asked shakily, "It was for me, wasn't it?"

"Yes Bella, it was," my dad answered, he and Emmett got up from their chairs and came over to my other side to hug me. I finally noticed that I was silently crying. I tried to wipe the tears away but it only made me cry more. I finally let myself sob into my mother's shoulder, all the while hearing her whisper in my ear, "Shh sweetie, everything will be fine. We'll make sure of it."

"Emmett? Bella? What's going on?" Rose replied somewhat hysterically. It seemed that we ignored her very presence in the room, but I wasn't able to concentrate on her before. I was only able to focus on my impeding future.

"Bella, are you ok? You don't have cancer or something do you?" Rose asked me quietly.

"No, she doesn't," Emmett replied assuringly

"Bella, I think it's time that we tell her," my mom said. My dad agreed and he proceeded on helping me walk to the living room, all traces of dinner and laughter forgotten.

Emmett sat with Rose on the loveseat, and I sat in between my parents on the couch. I hadn't noticed that my mom had a box of tissues in her hands and was attempting to wipe the trail of tears from my eyes.

"Will someone finally tell me what's going on?" Rose demanded angrily. Emmett tried to soothe her, all while shooting sad glances my way.

That was when I told Rosalie, my brother's girlfriend, and the only other person besides my family, my secret. I told her from the beginning days of my father's company and the days of when he hit trouble. I confessed the time when the company was barely surviving and needed another company to help them stay afloat. I described the contract that I am bound to, and how I thought that I would have a chance at not having to follow it. But it seemed as if the heavens decided against my happiness, and wanted me to be miserable. I could sense the sadness, the anger and the shock radiating from her body. Once I was done, she was enraged at my father for letting this happen.

"He never decided on it, he had a decision to make and asked me for my opinion. Granted I was a child, but I knew I had to do something. I couldn't stand to see my family be turned out on the streets, barely surviving because I wouldn't help them!" by then I was screaming like a madwoman. My parents held me back and forced me to the couch. Rose was dumbstruck, but once she got over the initial reaction, she jumped from her seat and hugged me as tight as she could.

"I'm so sorry Bella, I shouldn't have said those things. Please forgive me."

As she was sobbing on me I replied with, "I forgive you."

My parents were silent during the whole transaction, but once Rose let me go, I asked my parents as bravely as I could, "When are we going there?"

"June," my father said simply. I nodded my head in understanding.

"I'm coming with," Rose said suddenly. "Because you told me, I can't walk away from this, you need me there Bella. All of you do, you need someone whom you can trust in. Please let me go with you."

Before I could reply, my mom replied with a sad smile, "Yes, you can come. We will need some support while there." My family, including Rose, sat around me and smiled at me; I knew then that I finally had people to help me through this. That I wouldn't be alone.

"Thank you," I whispered silently crying again, "Thank you so much."

"We're a family Bells, we're always going to be here," my dad replied gruffly.

I just hoped that would be true.

"Ready to go?" Emmett asked me, trying to be heard over the roar of the various airplanes in the airstrip.

"I think so," I replied nervously, "Emmett, no matter what happens, do you promise me that you won't tell anybody about this? I mean, you won't tell any of your friends where you're going, or why?"

"I assure you, I didn't and won't tell anybody, and neither will Rose or mom or dad. Everything will work out, you'll see," Emmett replied pulling me into one of his famous bear hugs. As he walked with me to the airplane where our parents and Rose sat waiting, I decided that I had to leave one last message for him. I pulled out the temporary phone that I had, sending the last, and most heart wrenching text message that I would ever send.

As we sat in our seats, seatbelts buckled, I remembered Emmett's words from before.

Everything will work you, you'll see.

I thought to myself, I hope you're right, I truly hope so.

June 2008

EPOV

As I drove to Bella's house, I let my mind wander to the past couple of weeks. She seemed unusually distant; perhaps it was because of finals? But that couldn't be, Bella always did good on them, no matter what she said. It was strange, even Emmett and Rosalie were being different; but then again, its Rose and Emmett, they were always acting strange.

As I started to concentrate on the road again, I noticed I was almost at her house. I pulled into the driveway, turned off my ignition and opened the car door to walk to the front door. I rang the doorbell but nobody answered. I decided on calling Bella' house number, but nobody picked up. I started getting worried and called her cell. But for some reason, the operator announced that Bella's number was no longer in service. That was when I felt my blood run cold. What could have happened to her?

I started feeling panicky and decided to call Alice. It was only logical that Alice would know, I mean they ARE best friends and they know everything about each other. But once I started dialing my sister's number, I noticed that she was calling me. When I pressed open, I heard Alice's worried voice.

"Edward? Did you hear anything from Bella? I tried calling her cell but it said something about the number being disconnected."

"I'm at her house right now, and nobody's answering the door and I hear the same from her number. I have no idea what's going on. Alice, I'm really scared, what if something happened to her?" I couldn't help but let a trace of fear slip in. I was having a difficult time trying to control my emotions, especially when I wanted to go about screaming Bella's name until I found her.

"Don't worry Edward, we'll find her-"Alice suddenly stopped. "Edward? Did you just get a text message?" her voice quavered.

"What? No I didn't, oh wait, I did," I replied. It was from an unknown number. When I clicked open, I read the message hungrily.

Edward, I'm sorry but I couldn't let you know that I disconnected my service.

I need you to do everything you can to stop thinking of me.

Please go on with you're life this summer.

Please forget me, do anything you can.

You don't need me, for I do not love you.

Please don't try to find me, go on with your life

-B

I couldn't believe it, it felt as if my world was crashing down around me.

I do not love you.

I do not love you.

I do not love you.

That same saying repeating over a million times in my head, I couldn't see anything else, but those words.

The sound of Alice's voice broke me from my stupor.

"I tried calling the number Edward, but it's disconnected! Do you know why she left?"

"No," I replied with no emotion used. "All I know is that she doesn't love me."

"What? That can't be true, she loves you Edward. You know that!"

"She told me so herself in her text. I don't know where she is, I don't know what happened to her. All I know is that she doesn't want me to follow her."

Alice was quiet all during my rant, "Do you want me to pick you up from her house? Or should I get Jasper…?" She sounded so concerned for me.

But I ignored her questions and decided to just go for a drive. "Alice, I don't know what time I'll be home, but I'll see you soon. Bye."

Right before I hung up, I heard her quietly say, "I love you. Please don't forget that you still have you're family."

As I gazed at the phone, I felt the force of Bella's departure.

I sank to the porch steps and sobbed helplessly, clutching the one last remnant I had of Bella before she left. The next thing I remembered was twilight taking over the sky of Forks, Washington: the place where I grew up, shared all of my fondest memories, and loved a girl who doesn't feel the same.

AN: This is just the prologue and I wasn't sure if anybody else wrote something similar to this storyline. If anybody does like it, I will continue with the story. But if someone did write something like this, I will take it off the site.

P.S. I will explain the contract further along in the story, but I just wanted to show a glimpse of how Bella and her family went to England.
