A/N: Okay here's my latest story, I have up to Chapter 2 done and edited, and if you like what you see I'll post these quickly... R&R please... they help me write better!

Preface:

How hard could it be to sleep without Edward? Oh who am I kidding? Its impossible. Which is why instead of sleeping, as I should be doing, I'm reading Pride and Prejudice, or maybe I'll read Wuthering Heights in a little bit... Well shit, I've got enough time to read both. Edward was gone for the night, hunting with his family because Alice saw it would be sunny tomorrow. These were the days I hated most, but I'll deal with it because I'll see Edward soon enough.

The shrill ring of my phone wakes me from my reverie. I actually have a cell phone now, the product of Edward wanting to be able to always keep in contact with me. And so of course, all of my friend's in Phoenix now had my number as well, something I'm very happy about, especially when I see the caller ID flash the name Chris across the screen, he could make me forget about Edward being gone for a little while.

"Hello?" I answer the phone.

"Bella?" A woman's voice asks from the phone. "Bella is that you?" Her voice is strangled, as if she's trying not to cry.

"Yes Gus, it's me." I answer. I immediately recognize the voice as Gus, Chris's mom. Then my stomach drops, if Gus was calling from Chris's phone, then something must have happened to Chris. "Gus what's wrong?" I ask. I hear a whimper over the phone and I feel the blood drain from my face.

"Chris is in the hospital," she whispers, "and so is... Emily...or..." My heart speeds up and I put my hand over my heart.

"Are they alright?" I ask hopefully.

"Chris is physically, but Em... She didn't make it Bella, she's gone." I can't say anything, too shocked to produce words. "Chris needs you here Bella, that's why I'm calling. I have a feeling he won't talk to anyone but you." That wakes me up, Chris needs me, so I have to go.

"I'll be there as soon as I can," I tell her. After a few more exchanges we say goodbye and I hang up the phone. The plane ticket would be easy enough to get, as well as convincing Charlie to let me go, but what about Edward?

I can't wait until he comes back, it could be two days. No, I need to go now. Grabbing a piece of paper I write him a note.

Edward,

I am so sorry but I have to go, something has happened to my friends in Phoenix and they need me. I couldn't wait for you to come home because they need me now. Just know that I am safe and I'll be with people who really do care about me. I'll be home when I can, please don't come after me, I need to do this on my own.

I love you,

Bella

After leaving the note on my bed I get my things together and start to arrange a plane ticket, it's going to be a long night.
