Oh god he left me…he doesn't love me…he said he doesn't love me…how…I…he deserves more…he…oh god…what am I supposed to do…how can I survive…why…he was always too good to be true…why now…why …GOD WHY……………………………"\

Warm arms picked me up, I hadn't realized it had been raining until that point, I stared at the darkness saying nothing to my rescuer as he said nothing to me. My body was shaking so hard, I couldn't move, my joints were frozen despite the warm body carrying me. And his jacket rapped securely around me, darkness surrounded me an I surrendered…

I woke in a white room, attached to my left arm was an iv, and the machine to my right was a heart monitor showing my steady heart beat. I surrendered again to the darkness…

Charlie sat by my side the next time I woke, his stubble telling me I had been out for a very, very long time.

"Bella, Bella baby are you really awake?"

I tried to respond, but my throat hurt, I pointed to it and Charlie ran to get a doctor. When he returned it was with an unfamiliar face, which in its self is very unusual in Forks.

"Good evening Ms. Swan my name is Dr. Richards, two weeks ago you wondered into the woods getting lost. You seemed to have tripped falling onto a tree branch which then punctured your neck, I'm afraid that the damage will be difficult to overcome and speaking will be very difficult; if at all possible. You also experienced extreme hypothermia from the elements, that along with your blood loss has caused you to be In a coma the past two weeks. You were shipped to a larger hospital here in Seattle so that we could better take care of your special needs. You are now stable and will be allowed to go home within the next week if no complications occur."

I stared at the doctor in horror as he told me that I may never be able to speak again. Charlie was holding my hand throughout the doctors long speech after Dr. Richards finally left the room my dad turned to me.

"Oh Bella I'm so happy that you are finally awake, the doctors here were not sure that you would ever wake Up"

Then my dad did something I had never seen before, he cried. I held my father close to me petting his head and attempting to make comforting sounds to tell him that I was ok. After collecting himself he looked at me with determination in his eyes.

"When we get home you and I are taking a signing course, and you will begin speech therapy.'

I nodded my agreement and gave him a smile. A nice nurse came in with a notepad and in and I gave her a grateful look and asked the one question on my mind, dominating even my muteness.

Dad, are they really gone?, did the Cullen's leave Forks?

Charlie nodded his head with a grim expression on his face so I kept my thoughts to myself, not a very hard thing to do anymore.

As we left the hospital six days later we ran into our neighbor Elaine with her eight year old daughter Tiffany, Charlie made small talk as I played with the little girl. I wondered silently where Elaine's youngest two children where. Charlie took me home.

When I entered my bedroom for the first time in over three weeks I noticed how nothing had changed in this place yet everything was different. I went to my photo album to look at his pictures but they were gone, I slowly made my way to my stereo and it was empty. My eyes snapped, as my soul did.
