"He doesn't want me anymore, it's time to move on." I had told myself this over and over as I made the 15 minute drive out past Forks. I still needed to see that he wasn't just some dream, that turned into a nightmare. I drove to his house nearly every day after I performed my daily tasks. Charlie wasn't like he use to be when THEY were around, I was usually home by myself, Charlie wasn't worried for my safty then, which come to think about it he should have been more worried then. I was in no danger here in Forks, not anything that I couldn't deal with anyway. Pain was just giving up on something I believed in. And I wasn't giving up yet.

The funny thing about them, is they never really knew how much I could take. I believe that there is a large difference in what you will take and how much you can take. I had been pushed to my limits the day they left, and I never wanted to go back to that, but I would never let them go like they wanted me too. It hurt to much to think about them, but hurt even more to think that they didn't care.

Today started like every other day. I woke up, made breakfast, went to school, worked out, then came here. When I first moved here me and working out weren't really acquainted, we never really got a long because of my clumsiness but I have gotten over that. I forced myself to work out at least once a day, not only had I lost weight after the first initial shock, but I knew after that, that if they were to return one day I didn't want to be the same person. I wanted to be a new Bella, one that they couldn't live without, one that he wouldn't leave.

As I turned onto that oh so familiar drive way, my stomach turned into knots, as it usually did. I hoped everyday that the familiar Mercedes or Sliver Volvo would be there, but everyday it wasn't. You would think that after almost 7 months of mourning that the shock of them not being here wouldn't turn my stomach. I looked at the beautiful house which I called home many months ago, and I realized that something had changed. . . someone was there. Someone that I didn't know, or at least I didn't think I knew.

"Hello Isabella" a velvety voice echoed through the yard. His voice was too smooth, too much like theirs. I couldn't see his face, just his silhouette. But I knew that he couldn't be like me; not there was much of me left anymore, just on auto pilot till they returned. Because I knew deep down iside that they would return and everything would be ok.

"Uhm. . .He..Hello?" I replied not knowing if I should turn around and leave or if I should stay and stare like I already was "it is impolite to stare silly, you have been around vampires enough to know that they are all beautiful!!!" My mind was screaming at me, I didn't know who this voice belonged to but I knew that I wanted it.

"I have heard a great deal about you. I just wanted to see if it all was true; apparently you weren't given justice." I blushed, stupid human reactions, blushing in front of a vampire could cost me my life but he didn't seem thirsty. But I was curious to who he was talking with about me.

"Uhm. . .Thank y. .you." I needed to relax, it wasn't like my life was in danger, if it was I would have known, I would have sensed it, the whole "life flashing before your eyes deal" but that deffinantly wasn't happening right now all I could think about was this velvety voice.

"Who are you?" I managed to spit out. My thoughts were running away with me. Maybe they had sent him to protect me, or maybe he was just stopping by to let me know they were coming back, or worse maybe he was here to break bad news to me.

I prepared myself for the worst, I knew that things were finally looking up and everytime that happens something bad occurs to mess it up. It is a balance thing, and I just haven't mastered balancing it all out.

"I am a great friend of The Cullen's *wince* and I have been talking to them lately and the young male seems to bring you up a lot. I just wanted to see what all the commotion is about." He said that with a smile. I have seen that smile before; it was so close to his smile. This was the first time since they left that I have heard their name, I won't use it until I know that they are coming back, it doesn't hurt as bad if I don't say it.

"Well I am flattered by your curiousness. I am glad that you have found me interesting." I said with as much of a fake smile as I could put on. I was never good at lying, and they knew that; maybe they had warned him about that. I didn't care, he most likely wouldn't be staying long, just enough to check up on me as I assumed.

There was something different about him, there was this draw that I have never encountered before. I wanted to talk to him, to please him and make him happy. I should not be thinking about another guy like this. But what would that matter, "he left you, he left you without any intention of returning" I hated when my mind was right but they did leave. The more I looked into the dark of the house, the more I wanted to see this man's face, to know that I was in no danger.

"My name is Eliot, and I am what you would call a "vegetarian" as they put it I suppose. I have found a life without having to kill people to survive. No I am not hungry, and no I am not checking up on you for them." Wait a second, did I say that out loud?? I swear it was in my head, I didn't think I had said anything out loud except for the few responses. "You are not going crazy dear Isabella, I am not like your friend Edward *double wince*" He responded to my thoughts, he could hear me, I didn't think that was possible.

"Yes it is very much possible, but I have different abilities that are helping me do that, it is actually quite complicated, I have never had to put this much effort into it, it really fascinates me, you really fascinate me." He said with a familiar crooked smile, that I loved. I could hardly make out his face, but I could see that, I knew that smile He use to wear it when he was happy. Is it possible that two people have the same smile? My mind needed to stop thinking or else he would catch on soon enough.

"Uhm, I have to go now. It. . .uh. . .it was nice meeting you." I spat with a wary smile, I really wanted to see him, but I would not step any closer to him. I just wanted to see why I was drawn to him so much, there was this pull that I was not use to. It was kinda like when you see your favorite book on the shelf and you are just drawn to it, and can't see any other book. I didn't want to see anyone else, I wanted to see him. "what are you doing?????? You don't know him, he can read your mind how do you you that he isn't just waiting for you to make the next move before attacking. . . ." ". . . .Isabella, I will not attack you. But your mind is right, you do not know me, but I would really like it if you wanted to try." He said as he walked into the light.
