Chapter 2: Problems!

EPOV . . .

"Knock, knock, knock" came a voice from my door. "What do you want Alice?" I said, my voice muffled because I was face down on my black leather couch. I want to come in "Well, you can't" I whispered. Too bad she thought and came in. She came straight to the couch and pushed me off. I landed on my back, but made no move to get up.

It has been months since I saw my Angel. She is not yours anymore, but you can change that! Said a voice in the back of my mind. "Get up, right now Edward," Alice screamed "You should go hunt" she added in a lower voice after noticing me wince.

My mind was barely registered her words, because I curled up to my side and tried to fight back a sob at the thought of Bella not being mine anymore.

I could not hold it in anymore and broke out in tearless sobs, in front Alice. She sat down beside me and put my head in her lap. She stared to stroke my hair, trying to comfort me. Edward, please stop crying I can't take it to see you like this. Please stop, just go back to her. You will feel better.

"Alice, I can't I need to keep her safe. Being away from her is painful but, I couldn't take it if something happened to her because of me. If I have to suffer to keep her safe, then so be it. Now, Alice I want to be alone, please?"

No, not until you go hunting. You haven't gone in almost two months. How are you not dying from thirst?

"Because, the pain of leaving her is over-shadowing my thirst." I whispered too low for even a vampire to hear, but she heard me anyway and said "Oh, Edward! Don't worry you will get past this." For once she was showing me sympathy, instead of her anger. I am going to get Emmett so, that he can take you hunting.

"But Ali . . ." She cut me off by saying "Don't argue with me Edward Cullen! Now go put on a fresh set of clothes and be downstairs in ten minutes" She said while standing up, she then reached for my arms and pulled me to my feet. I was too weak to protest though.

She put a fresh set of clothes on my bed and said "Ten minutes!"

"Bella," I moaned "I miss you my angel" I whispered. I tried to imagine what would happen if I went back as I was getting dressed. Surely she would hate me now. She might have even moved on. Moved on. That same voice in the back of my head said. She can't move on, she is yours! "Shut up!" I yelled at myself.

Great, now I know that have finally gone crazy. I was yelling at myself. God, I was so crabby right now that I was irritated with myself. Maybe Alice was right I did need to go hunting. That is not the only thing she was right about. That voice said again.

At the thought of me being crabby, a memory popped into my head without my permission.

~*~ FLASHBACK ~*~

I picked up a breadstick and began nibbling on the end, measuring his expression. I wondered when it would be okay to start questioning him.

"Usually you're in a better mood when your eyes are so light," I commented, trying to distract him from whatever thought had left him frowning and somber.

He stared at me, stunned. "What?"

"You're always crabbier when your eyes are black I expect it then," I went on. "I have a theory about that."

His eyes narrowed. "More theories?"

"Mm-hm." I chewed on a small bite of the bread, trying to look indifferent.

"I hope you were more creative this time… or are you still stealing from comic books?" His faint smile

was mocking; his eyes were still tight.

"Well, no, I didn't get it from a comic book, but I didn't come up with it on my own, either," I confessed.

~*~ END FLASHBACK ~*~

I am always crabby without you, love. I thought to myself.

"Edward," Emmett's booming voice came from downstairs "Are ya coming or not?" he asked me "Not" I stated in a low voice but he still heard me. He was upstairs in a flash. He tucked me under his arm like a football and ran downstairs.

"Ok, let's go" I said once he put me down. With that we took off to go hunt.

APOV . . .

I finally got Edward to go hunting. It has been almost two months since he went. I missed my sarcastic fool of a brother but, I knew that it would take a while for him to get over Bella. Alright, 'get over Bella' is the wrong statement. 'For the pain to die down a little' is the right statement.

He missed Bella. We all did. We all changed since Bella and now that she is not here we changed again. I haven't gone shopping in almost a WEEK! Emmett doesn't play as many pranks as before. Even Rose was affected; she barely comes out from the garage.

Edward changed the most though. He won't play his piano or listen to music. He won't read. He won't do ANYTHING actually! He lies down on his couch, thinks of Bella and cries. My poor brother! He is so upset. I tried everything I possibly could to get him to go back to Bella. He is just too stubborn for his own good.

"Alice," Esme called from her room. "Would you please get the mail?" "Of course" I responded and headed out to get our mail. We did not usually get much mail other than mine and Rose's magazines.

I was flipping through the mail when I saw there was a letter from the Swan Family. That was Bella's family name. I wonder how they got our address.

I looked at the letter for a good fifty seconds before deciding that we not tell Edward about this unless it was important. I went to the living room which was currently empty. I sat down and prepared myself to open the letter. Once I did this is what it said:

The Swan Family is sad to inform you about the recent loss of Isabella Marie Swan.

The funeral will be held at 'Holy Angels' Church. Followed by a gathering of friends and family at the Rose Garden at the end of West Street.

For more details please contact Mr. Charlie Swan – The father of our beloved Isabella Marie swan.

We request the presence of you and your family at this sad occasion.

Yours Sincerely

Swan Family

Oh. My. God. Bella was . . . no but she can't be. Edward will be mortified. Oh no what do I do? I know what I had to do first – Call Charlie. I quickly grabbed my cell phone and dialed the all too familiar number.

"Hello?" answered a sad voice.

"Charlie?" I asked

"Alice, is that you?" he said a bit surprised

"Oh, Charlie. Yes it is. Is it . . . is it true." I asked holding my breath.

"I don't know Alice," He answered. He doesn't know? What does that mean?

"What do you mean, Charlie?" I asked him. I needed answers.

"She was . . . abducted, Alice. We searched for her day and night . . . and . . . and we didn't even find one lead. The case closed a few days ago and . . . and I . . . I" He trailed off.

"When did this happen?" I asked still not believing this was happening.

"She got lost about two . . . weeks ago."

"Oh, Charlie I am so sorry"

"Are you gonna be there? For the fu . . . funeral I mean?" He asked in a quiet voice. "I could really use the support Alice." He added

"Yeah, Charlie we will be there. The whole family. I have to talk to Carlisle about our plans now. I will call you later. Ok?" I asked

"Sure, Alice. Take care." He said

"You too Charlie. Bye now." I said in a quiet voice.

"Bye," He responded and the hung up.

I just sat there crying for a while. Jasper heard me and came downstairs. He wound his arms around me and asked me what's wrong. "B . . . Be . . . Bella . . ." was all I managed to get out before crying some more. After my little outburst I explained everything to Jasper.

He listened to all of it and started to whisper soothing words in my ears. "Jazz, we have to tell the rest of the family before Edward gets back. They can't go into to shock while Edward needs comfort." "Alright, love. I'll call them." He said while I leaned to press my face against his chest.

"Carlisle, Esme. We need to have a family meeting. Everyone in this house, come to the living room right now please." He said and everyone was here in less than a minute. "Ok now we have received some very disturbing news," he started and then handed the letter to Carlisle.

"Oh my," was all he said. Esme who read over his shoulder asked how. Then Jasper explained everything about the abduction, the search. Everything. Carlisle said that we would go there this weekend. Two days early so, that we could help Charlie out.

"Who is gonna tell Edward?" Rose asked. "I will," I said "Everyone control their thought he will be here in three minutes."

Sorry, guys but I am gonna leave you guys there. The next chapter will contain Edward's reaction but I won't post it until I get some more reviews. I got a review asking if Jacob fits into this story at all. I could do that if you want. Just let me know if you want Jacob in this story. Oh, one more thing – can anyone tell me how to get a Beta for my story, Please. I just don't know how. I know where to find one but what do I do after that. Do I PM him/her my story asking him/her if they could beta it or what. Thanks you guys. Please Review.
