The nights were long, the days: endless. Bella was miserable. Edward had left her with no explanation. He just vanished! Alice told her that he needed some "alone time"

Bella lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling. She could no longer sleep. Sleep was impossible now that he wasn't there to hold her, and sing her lullaby. Every time the door opened, or a twig snapped, she would look. But he was never there. She feared she would never gaze into his topaz colored eyes. Never feel his cold touch. Never be dazzled again. When she was just about to fall asleep, she heard a noise. She jumped out of bed, and ran to the window. She opened it and stuck her head out. Nothing. A tear ran down her face.

"You would think I would have learned my lesson by now."

Bella whispered to herself as she slipped back under her covers.

"Now, I just have to sleep."

She closed her eyes, and dozed off.

Bella was standing in the middle of a meadow. There were beautiful flowers all around. She sat down on the grass and looked up at the clouds, when she heard someone approaching. She looked around and she saw something brush through the bushes.

"Hello?"

she called to whatever was there. And just then, Edward emerged from the bushes.

"Edward!"

she screamed, rushing into his embrace.

"Oh Edward. I missed you so much."

'I missed you to Bella. I love you."

"I love you to. Forever."

"Yes. Forever."

Then, Edward whispered in her ear

"I won't leave you ever again"

Bella shivered, as his cool lips brushed against her ear as he pulled away. She held him tighter. It was wonderful. Then, the ground began to shake.

"Edward! What is happening?"

"I don't know!"

Then the ground beneath them started to crack! Edward slipped and fell through, but Bella held on to him.

"Edward! Edward please don't fall!"

"Isabella!"

She loved it when he said her name. A tear trickled down her face.

"I love you."

Edward whispered as he let go of her, falling into the blackness.

"No!!quot;

Bella woke up then, sweat pouring down her pale skin. She started sobbing. She couldn't bear it any longer. Bella climbed out of the window, and started making her way toward the Cullen house.

It took her longer than usual to reach the Cullen's house, because she wasn't being carried by Edward. But in the end she made it. It had started to rain when she was about half way there, so naturally she was soaking wet. She grasped the brass knocker, trembling, and slammed it against the large, antique, door. Esme answered the door.

"Bella! What on earth, Oh! Come in side!"

Esme guided her into the house, when Alice was coming their way.

"Bella! What are you doing he-, oh."

Bella looked down at the floor.

"Come here Bells. Let's get you some clothes."

Bella and Alice walked through the house. On the way up the stairs to Alice's room, they passed Carlisle.

"Alice? Why is-"

Alice stared at Carlisle, and he figured out the reason. They kept on walking.

When they reached Alice's room, she grabbed a t-shirt and a pair of jeans.

"These are a bit small for me so you can keep them if you like."

Bella took the clothes and went into the bathroom to change. When she was finished she looked into the mirror. She just stared and then began to cry. She just wanted to cry and cry.

"Bella? Are you okay?"

Bella rubbed her eyes and tried to stop.

"Yes."

Bella left the bathroom and Alice was standing there waiting for her.

"Bells."

Alice came towards Bella and hugged her. Bella started to cry again.

"It's okay Bella. You'll see him again. It's okay. We all miss him."

Bella sniffled and stopped crying.

"Thanks Alice. Do you mind if I stay over."

"Sure. Of course. The guest bedroom is down this way."

"Actually, do you mind if I-"

"Sure."

She knew her way to Edward's room. She opened the door and stood in the middle of the room that was so familiar. She sat down on the bed and laid down. Staring at the ceiling like before. Only this time, Bella fell asleep easier, since it was his room. His smell covered everything. She slept peacefully that night.
