Chapter 1

Jacob kept running until he was tired. It had been three days since he left behind LaPush and all that had remained there. He collapsed in the woods somewhere in Canada, to tired to think about anything but sleep. He woke up suddenly, dazed and confused and like a rocket the memories hit him in the chest. The fight, Bella, Bella and Edwards Wedding. No amount of time or sleep could take away the pain he felt. He curled back up and let the thoughts overcome him. He could not hear the thoughts of his fellow wolves, something he was grateful for at this moment. A single tear leaked from his eyes. How could she just leave him like that?. He loved her, in more ways than the bloodsucker ever could. He knew that was a crazy question, Bella would always be Bella, stubborn and single minded, he could not change her, but he could not change the way he felt either. It was not fair, that she got to live the life of her dreams while he was forever destined to misery.

Sometime later he awoke, hungry and numb. He wondered if that feeling would ever go away. Jacob stood up, examining his surroundings. Where was he? He did not know, I guess I will just run he thought to himself. He started running to his right, sometime later coming across a small town in the wilderness. He phased back to his human form, looking for food as he did. He wandered into what looked like the only store in town. "Hello" an old man that looked somewhat like his father greeted him. "Hello" Jacob answered back. "Where I am?" he asked politely? "Welcome to Forks, Canada the man responded." Jacob laughed cruelly, was this some kind of joke?

Belles P.O.V

Bella stood in her nearly empty room, her things packed into boxes, ready for the move to the Cullen's. She sat cross-legged on the floor as the tears started to fall. She knew it would not be long before Alice saw her tears and sent Edward over. The thought made her almost mad, she was not ever alone anymore. She started sobbing as everything from the past few weeks caught up with her. Telling her parents had been the hardest part. Neither one had taken the news of her engagement or soon to be wedding well. Renee had been the more understanding parent, she did not approve but she saw how happy her daughter was. Charlie was well Charlie. He had always hoped she would marry Jacob Black but grudgingly accepted that it was not a possibility. Especially after Jake disappeared. She thought about Jake and a fresh round of sobs escaped. He had not been seen or heard from in two weeks. No one knew where he went or if he was even ok. Bella knew this because Charlie got frequent updates from Billy. Bella knew Billy was worried about his son but could not he understand she was to? For the first time since Jake left Bella truly felt the pain. How could he just leave her like that? Did not he know that she loved him, even needed him, even if it was not like he wanted her to? She had never questioned her love for Edward before but what if she was making the wrong choice? Marrying a vampire and then becoming one, sure she did not like her human life all the time but was it really worth giving up? "No" she told herself, she was not going to question herself now, not with the wedding less than a week away.

She got up and went downstairs but the nagging feeling that something was not right kept gnawing at her. Where was Edward anyway? She thought he would have come running art the first sign of tears. Alice must be to caught up in wedding plans that she was ignoring her visions, she thought. At that moment Bella made a snap decision. If Alice couldn't see her, it meant that she couldn't see where Bella was going which meant that she couldn't see Bella breakaway, and once she was in LaPlush, it wouldn't matter, Alice couldn't see her there either.

She went back up to her room and started unpacking boxes and throwing things into her duffle. She did not know how long she had before Alice would stop ignoring her visions. She finished packing left a hasty note for Charlie

"Dad, going to LaPlush, don't know when I'll be back, I'll call you later tonight" She ran out the door and jumped in her truck, not sure of anything but her destination.
