Okay, you guys I'm going to load up the next chapter and I hope you enjoy it! Do you guys want Jasper as Bella's mate or one of the Volturi kings? Leave your answer in the reviews.

P.S. I want to say the story starts in Eclipse...Oh! And this story belongs to Stephenie Meyer!

Bella sighed as she gazed into the onyx colored eyes of her boyfriend Edward Cullen.

A smile teased it's way onto his lips making Bella even more enamored.

"Hi," she said softly, biting her strawberry lips.

"Hello," he replied back, looking longingly at her mouth and then back at her.

For a moment, time seemed to be suspended. With only the couple left alone in their own little bubble. Locking eyes, they seemed oblivious to their surroundings, lost in each others eyes.

Bella woke up in bed, rubbing her eyes as she attempted to dispel the dream that was already tearing her heart up inside. Sweaty, she decided to take a shower muttering under her breath, "It was just a dream, only a dream." The shower did help, if only for a little.

She went back into her room and turned on her laptop, jiggling the mouse as it slowly came to life. Her email didn't seem to load fast enough, almost as if it were on purpose. Quickly scanning her inbox, she let out a sigh of despair; Alice still hadn't answered. Over 27 emails over the course of 6 months yet no response. "I don't why I expected different," Bella thought bitterly. She stared at the screen blankly for a minute, then abruptly pushed it away.

Pacing, she realized all the emotions from the months of abandonment, all of the heartbreak, anguish, pain, and loss she felt was suddenly taking hold of her. It was if the dam had finally been broken, and she was in the middle of it, begging to be saved. The welling up of emotions she felt made her start to cry. And soon crying turned to full blown sobbing, complete with Charlie rushing in to hold her.

Charlie held her tight as if he was going to keep her safe in his embrace and love. He soothing rubbed her back and held her until the last tear on her cheek was dry. "I suppose you're finally letting go, bud?," he asked concernedly.

Bella hiccuped and nodded her head. "Well I know you don't want to hear this right know, but I'm going to tell you something," Charlie began nervously. "When your mom left me, I was a wreck. I turned into what you were these last couple of months, only it lasted for a year. I couldn't eat, because anything I ate reminded me of her cooking, I couldn't sleep without her and if I did I would dream of her. And you, your pictures reminded me of your mother so damn much, I could only look at them and see her."

Bella looked at the father she had never really known and stuttered,"B-But how did you...?"

Charlie stroked his chin thoughtfully, "I got back to normal thanks to Billy I suppose, he became paralyzed after the hit-and-run and that's when I finally woke up. Because Billy not only lost his ability to walk that day, he lost his wife. And ever since then I've been looking for the killer.

Bella frowned and asked, "Is that the only thing making you okay? The fact that you're looking for the killer?!"

Charlie softened his face and looked at his daughter. "No, Bella that's only a factor. Billy may have given me an eye opener, but he also gave a good reason why I should live."

"And whats that reason?"

"Love," Charlie stated, "I love you and I still have you Bella. Your mother and I may have had a small amount of time together,and we may have never mixed well, but the best thing we ever did together was you. I want you to know that you are the most precious thing to me even if I don't show it most of the time. So stop mopping around the house and start living again. That's the best advice I can give you."
