Prologue
Bella was getting ready for Edward to pick her up for a day at the Cullen house, she was spending the day with Alice today as Edward went hunting with Jasper and Emmett. She had no reason to suspect anything out of the ordinary, yet when Edward picked her up he was acting strangely, nothing happened any differently, he kissed her on the check and held her door for her, but otherwise he didn't say a word. As they pulled up to the house, Bella noticed that Alice hadn't come to get her yet, this made her eyebrows raise slightly because Alice was always quick to get her into the house for Bella barbie as they liked to call it, she walked slowly with Edward towards the house before she stopped him pulling on his arm to get him to turn around, "Edward?" she paused not sure what to ask, "where's Alice and everyone else?" he looked at her briefly before looking out at the forest that surrounded their home. "She's in the house. Where else would she be?" "Well she always comes to get me, I don't normally get chance to breathe properly when we have a day planned together". With that he just turns and goes into the house leaving Bella standing there looking confused, as she walks up the front steps she feels a heavy dose of calm hit her and wonders why Jasper would be sending out calm.
Walking in the front door Bella wonders why everyone is just standing around seemingly staring into space, no-one says a word when she enters, which is strange in itself, the only person that seems to be showing any sort of reaction to my entrance is Jasper who is staring at me like I have just come back from the dead or near enough anyway. "What is wrong Jasper?" "Bella? Why did you come? I don't understand why you would come over now after Edward told you." Bella looked at him confused, "Tell me what Jasper? Edward hasn't even spoken to me really, except a minute ago about Alice not meeting me" turning she looks at Edward "what is going on Edward? What were you supposed to tell me?" He looked at her before staring at the floor, before she could blink he was running out of the house and he was gone, with everyone else following him. She looked at the door where everyone had disappeared, wondering and curious as to why she shouldn't be here, she then started thinking about how she was going to get home when Carlisle appeared next to her, as though he knew what she was thinking, "I'll drive you home Bella, they won't be back for a while" and with that he walked out to his car and Bella followed.
The drive back to her house was quiet, but when they arrived, Carlisle turned in his seat to her, "I'm leaving Bella, me and Esme are getting a divorce, they will be staying and I'm going on my own." Bella was dumbstruck, "But..But.." She didn't know what to say, he was the father of the family, he couldn't leave he just couldn't, they weren't a family without Carlisle to hold them all together. "Why?" Was all Bella could say, she just couldn't understand it they were happy when she was over there just yesterday. "Well, you see Bella, me and Esme haven't been happy for a while now, we just didn't want to admit it out loud to the family, that would have meant we had given up. But eventually you just have to say enough is enough." he looked out the window when he said all this, but when he finished he turned to Bella."So this is goodbye Bella, maybe one day we will see each other again." Once Bella was out of the car he turned the car around and drove away.
