I got up from another sleepless night. I woke up in the middle of the night screaming, and after that I couldn't get back to sleep. I got dressed and went down to eat breakfast.

"Bella, we need to talk."

I figured Charlie would have been at work already. I wonder what he wanted.

"Ever since the Cullens left, you have had no life in you. Now I know you loved him, but you need to move on. I didn't expect you to be so lifeless."

What did he mean lifeless. I might not be very social but I still did everything I was asked of. I still cooked all his meals, I still went to school, and I still did homework.

"I'm not lifeless dad. I do everything I'm asked. I go to school and get good grades."

"That's what I'm talking about Bella. You only do whatever you told. You never hang out with friends anymore and you never do anything for fun."

I'm sorry that my life had ended already. When Edward left me and told me he didn't love me, there was no reason to live. Edward was my life now, and that was now over.

"Dad, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'll ask some friends to see a movie or something tonight."

Charlie looked at me, the sadness growing in his eyes.

"That's not what I mean Bella. I don't want you to go out just because I asked you to."

That was enough of this talk. I got up and grabbed my coat. I opened the door and yelled behind me.

"I'll be going to a movie tonight, I'll be home late."

With that I closed the door and went out to my truck. I turned the key and the earsplitting engine roared to life. I hurried off to school, not that I wanted to be there. I just didn't want to listen to Charlie anymore.

My morning classes went by fast as I tried to think of a way to ask Jessica or Angela if they wanted to go to a movie. Finally, it was time for lunch. I had been sitting by myself, but today I was going to force myself to sit at the old table. I really didn't want to, but I really wanted to get Charlie off my back.

"Hey guys, can I sit with you?"

Everyone's eyes jumped up to look at me confused.

"Sure thing Bella, it's been a while."

Mike offered me a seat by him, and everyone dropped their stares. Jessica kept looking at me though. I could pretty much tell that she hated me now. Who cares though?

"I was just wondering if anyone wanted to see a movie tonight. I really want to get out of Forks for a little bit."

Everyone was now confused. I hadn't talked to them in months and now I was asking them out for a movie,

"Sorry Bella, I'm busy."

Jessica was the first to answer. Then one after another came up with their own excuses. I guess I would be going alone.

"All right Bella, I'll take you to the movies."

Mike must have thought this was his chance to get with me. He can think whatever he wants, as long as Charlie thinks I'm enjoying myself. The next bell rang and Mike walked m e to class explaining his plans. He agreed to pick me up at six, and that was that.

After school was out, I hurried home. I wrote Charlie a note to remind him he was on his own for dinner. I went upstairs and lied down on my bed. I was really tired from not sleeping the night before, but there was no way I was going to let the nightmares start up at this time of the day.

The time quickly past and Mike pulled up outside. I jumped out of my bed and down the stairs. I opened the door just as Mike was getting ready to knock.

"You ready to go Bella?"

"Yes, let's get going."

I hurried out to his car and we were off. The whole trip he was talking and I was just responding enough to be polite. It didn't discourage him though, he must have thought I was actually interested in what he was saying.

We got to the movie and it went by in a flash. I didn't even pay attention to it, so when Mike asked me how it was I didn't know how to reply. As we were walking back to his car, I saw a strange group of people. Their skin was pale, and they were beautiful.

"Don't Bella!"

I could swear that I heard Edward's voice. I decided to test this and walk closer to them.

"Bella! What do you think you are doing?"

It was the voice I loved so much. I couldn't get enough of it so I kept walking toward the strange group of people.

"Bella, where are you going? I parked over here?"

The group looked up at me now, all of them grinning. I knew what they were now by the crimson color of their eyes. I kept walking closer to them, waiting for the voice again.

"Bella, that's enough!"

I was close enough now that one of the people in the group grabbed me and ran into the alley. I could hear Mike screaming at them to stop. There wasn't anything he could do now. I am as good as dead.
