I was standing in my room almost done packing up. I had my first plane ticket in hand. I was going to Athens, Greece. Something about the fact of Greek mythology fascinated me.

I had just finished packing up the last of my books when Charlie walked in. He had a letter in his hand.

"Here. This is for you. I'm going to miss you kid." His voice was gruff. I fought back tears.

"I'll call once every week. At the least." I tried to smile through my tears. I don't think it worked. Charlie pulled me into a hug. I pulled back first, and grabbed the letter. We walked out the front door to my truck. My new car had been sent over a couple days in advance so that it would be there when I got there too.

I hugged my dad one more time, and said "I Love you." before I drove off to the airport.

Once I got to the airport I checked my bags in, and grabbed something to eat before my plane took off. As I got on the plane I remembered the letter I got that day.

I opened the letter as the plane took off. Inside was a wad of cash I was too scared to look at yet, a very large list, and a small letter. I wondered how it all fit in the envelope.

I read the letter first.

Dear Bella,

I know how much pain you are in. you cover it up with a brave front and fake smiles but you can't hide it from me. I know you want to see him, but you can't. Not at first. In this envelope are $1 million euros, and a list of the Cullens' addresses. They will move after every letter you send them. I hope you send letters to them. They need to know what you are going through. It's ok. I understand.

$1 million euros? This lady must think I'm going to be here for a year or two! I can't believe she gave me this much! A list of the Cullens' addresses? Maybe I will write to them. It would be nice, but what if they tried to follow me and tell me to stop? I know. I'll send them at the end of each trip to a new country. Then they can't find me and tell me to stop! I smiled, excited for my trip even more now.

~19 hours later~

I got my stuff and walked to the dude with my name on his card.

"Your car is this way ma'am." He said as he led me to my car. Once I got there I thanked the man and drove off. I got the hotel where I had booked reservations, went to my room and cried.

She said I held up a brave front, and I did. It still hurt. He left a while ago, but the pain was still fresh. I wondered if it would ever go away. No. You know it won't Bella. He was your soul mate. No, is your soul mate.

I changed into pajamas and crawled into bed. It was a long flight even with the time difference. I fell into the first peaceful sleeps I've had for what felt like forever, smiling because I knew where he was. Even if I couldn't see him.

A/N and wah la! A new story. This idea has been eating away at my brain for awhile now. I hope you all like it. Ok I don't think that the flight is actually 19 hours long. It was just a guess. I don't think that SM would have $1 million to give away either, but it's kind of necessary. Please review! It would make me smile!

Love y'all!
