I and my family went hunting. I felt bad for leaving Bella, but all our eyes were turning pitch black and we didn't need a repeat of her 18th birthday. I shudder at the memory.

I just finished discarding my dinner, and then I heard Alice scream.

"What the!!!!" I ran towards her and Jasper. "What happened Alice?" I asked her.

"I saw Aro sitting on Bella's couch with Charlie then it disappeared!" She replied in a frantic tone. Jasper was trying to calm his wife down.

"Edward, we have to get back now." She told me "I can't see anything now; I have no clue what is going to happen!"

With that I ran as fast as I could. I was at Bella's house in matters of seconds. I jumped up to her window, and looked around. Her room was almost empty. All that was left is her bed and dresser, all her belongings were gone.

I jumped back out the window, and went to the front door. I knocked on the door. Charlie answered the door.

"Edward, how are you, I thought you weren't coming back till Sunday?" he asked politely.

"Good it started to rain so we came home, Mr. Swan, is Bella home?" I asked.

"Edward, Bring your family here then I will tell you and your family together." What could be so important that he would have to talk to my whole family? I tried to read his mind, but some how he blocked it. "Fine, I'll go get them" I girded through my teeth, and with that I left.

At home, every one was there waiting for me. Alice was the first one to speak "What happened, Is Bella ok?"

"It was really strange; Charlie said that he will only tell the whole family together. I tried to read his mind but he blocked which never happened before!" I told them. They all gasped, even Rose!

"Well there is no point to keep him waiting is there." Esme said. With that we all got up and went in to the cars.

A few minutes later, we arrived at the Swans. When we reached the front door, Charlie was all ready there.

"Ah the Cullen Family, please come in and I will get started." he said.

We all sat in the living room, Esme and Carlisle on the couch with Rose and Emmett, and Alice sat in Jasper's lap on the floor and I sat on the smaller couch. Charlie sat down on his chair and began.

"So I guess Edward told you that Bella is not here, it's true. She will never come back here." He said in a flat tone. "Well where is she, how can we get there, who is she with, what is she doing, is she with her mom? Alice asked as soon as Charlie finished.

"I can only answer some of those questions, first of all I can not tell you where she is, second, I will not tell how to get there, third she is with her real father, and I know you never knew this but Bella is adopted… well not any more. Fourth of all what she is doing does not concern any you, and no she is not with her mom."

We were all shocked by this. "Any thing that has to with Bella is in our concern." I replied in an angry voice. "Well not this time grumpy old VAMPIRE boy. Oh yeah I know your deepest darkest secret." He snarled. "You know about bear!!!!" Emmett yelled in shock. "No you idiot, he talking about our secret!" Rose said as she slapped him. Every stared at him then moved to stare at Charlie "how did you find out?" Carlisle asked in his calm voice. "I have my ways, and I think that it is time for you guys to go now, goodbye." He said then left the room.

When we got home, I ran outside to my meadow. I laid in the wet grass thinking about what just happened. All I knew is that I just lost the love of my live, my Bella. I sat there, dry sobbing, I didn't even notice that Alice had came and sat beside me. We sat there in silence, taking in every thing that is happing. "Edward, I miss her too, but I think Charlie is right…. as much as I hate to say this, she's not coming back. She gone." She said "we all will miss her. She is a part of this family and forever will be. She was my best friend in the whole wide world. I don't want to believe it to but this is the real world… kind of like the soap opera I watched on T.V. last night, but that's not the point. She's not coming back…. Ever."

"I know Alice, I just can't believe it." I said between sobs. "I made a promise to Bella that I would never live with out her….. And I will keep that promise. I can't live with out her and I won't. I love her to much. I have to go. Alice I have to."

"I know it hurts Edward but you can't give. We love you Edward, you're Cullen and Cullens don't give up. We need to stay strong." Alice said sadly. I know she was true but I am not going to live with my angel in my arms.

We headed back to the house. When we arrived Esme can running out. "Edward, are you ok, were have you been? You had me so worried." She said as she pulled me in to a hug. "I just need time to think… about every thing." I gave her a reassuring smile and went to my room and drowned out everyone's thought with music.

A few hours later, I felt the urge to go play my piano.

I played Bella's lullaby and Esme's favorite, half way through Bella's I stopped. Today is the 16th… Bella's birthday is the 17th.

The next day I spent the whole day in my room, looking at pictures of Bella, my sweet angel Bella. There were pictures of us in our meadow, at my piano, at prom, dancing in the moon light, and my favorite a picture of Bella sleeping in my arms, I was gazing down at her. Her mahogany hair spread across the bed sheets like a fan, her big beautiful deep brown eyes that I could stare in to forever shut closed, her angelic face so peaceful, with out a care as she snuggled up to me, arms around me like she was holding a giant teddy bear. The more I looked at the picture, the more I missed her, her warm pink blush, her heartbeat pumping blood through her veins, her cute sleep talking right before she fell to a deep sleep, her tripping and having me catch her right before her face met the floor. I just simply love every thing about her; she's perfect even if she didn't notice it. How could she love me, a monster? I will never know.

I looked at the time it was 11:55. I put all the pictures away. "Happy birthday Bella" I whispered right before the clock struck 12:00 and when it, did every thing went black.

Thanks for reading and all the kind comments and a special thanks to my best friends (you know who you are) and my mom who checks all my spelling, I love you guys.
