When I came home from the hospital everything was already to go for my departure. My bags were packed with my belongings and already stuffed into the bed of my truck.

Charlie and I had already said our goodbyes so I figured it would be easier if I left while he was at work.

There was a constant nagging feeling in my gut that I played off as forgetting something that I would need. I checked every room in the house, but the churning in my stomach just wouldn't go away.

I racked my brain for possible solutions to this unexplained emotion, but couldn't find any. So instead of dwelling on it, I pushed it to the back of my mind and got into my truck.

My camera was tossed carelessly into the passenger seat, but looking at it now put the pieces of the puzzle together.

There were two places in Forks that I had forbid myself to go to since he left. Our meadow and his home.

But now that I'm practically at death's doorstep, there's nothing keeping me from going to those places. If I were to die in Alaska, could I really live with knowing that I didn't even give myself a chance to say goodbye to them?

I put my truck in reverse and backed out of the driveway. This wasn't going to be easy and I mentally prepared myself for what was to come on the way there.

I allowed myself to remember. The touch of his cool lips against my own, the way his skin sparkled like a thousand diamonds in the sun, the spark of electricity that ran through my veins at his mere touch.

I could feel the numbness that I had struggled to maintain, start to diminish. I locked up the memories inside of my mind and figured that was enough for right now.

The mental preparation did no justice to help me in any way when my truck stopped in front of the Cullen's house.

Seeing the home itself didn't hurt as much as I expected. It was still the same elegant, white house that I had always admired.

The house didn't do much to faze me. The seven vampires awaiting on the front lawn, however, did.

My body started to shake, my eyes taking in each one of their beautiful, inhumane faces. Your just dreaming, Bella. They aren't really here.

I tried to believe that this was all just one dream and that in a few minutes I would wake up. But no matter how many times I pinched myself or shut my eyes tightly and then re-open them, they stayed in the same spots.

Your no good for me, Bella.

He was right, I wasn't good for him. He doesn't want me, he doesn't love me, so why in the world is he back?

And then everything popped into place. They must have heard that I was leaving Forks so they decided to come back. How considerate, huh?

This was just one big mistake, I should have never came here in the first place. My foot slammed on the gas and I sped out of there as fast as my truck would allow.

An inner battle was forming inside of my mind. I was angry at myself for not staying and actually finding out the real reason why they left.

But I was also relieved to be out of the vulnerable state that their presence put me in. Anger and relief are two emotions that don't usually coincide with each other.

This stress was starting to really take its toll on me. I wanted to curl over and fall asleep, but I knew that I needed to at least wait until I could find a hotel.

My eyes drooped downwards every now and again. Just hold on a little longer, Bella. You promised nothing reckless.

That thought would always jolt me awake. Especially since it was not my voice. My mind would analyze the soft, velvety texture of his voice while I drove on in my desperate search for a hotel.

Even his voice couldn't stop the exhaustion that always returned no matter how much I wished it wouldn't.

My grip on the wheel loosened and my eyes lost sight of the road. The voice roared angrily in my mind, but not even it could wake me up.

There was a loud horn honking that sounded so close that I almost thought it was mine. I looked up in time to see headlights shine in front of my eyes and then everything went black.

Poor Bella just can't get a break. Are the Cullens really back, or is it just her imagination? Thank you so much for the reviews! Reviewers get a sneak peek. :)
